(4 out of 5 stars)
"About as good as their later release 'Due To A Faulty Premonition' CD(see my review).'Citrus...' is a rather long 2-CD offering,just over two brain floating hours.No complaint about that.Good improv all American krautrock here,that is IF you wish to call it that.Can't believe no one reviewed this disc before now.I tend to like the lengthy tracks the best,like the 30-minute symphonic spacey "The Sunlight Hurt My Eyes",the l7-minute nice sounding ambient piece "Turtle Chase" and the psych-jazzy "Undermine".Also was impressed with the avant garde cut "It".Good trip out material here.Line-up:Paul Hilzinger-keyboards,Joe Murphy-bass,Paul Casanova-guitar&electronics,John Ortegas-synths and Hadley Kahn-drums.Might appeal to fans of Brian Eno,Terry Riley,Ash Ra Tempel and Cluster.Recommended."
