Significant German progressive Jazz-Rockers from Hamburg,Release Music
Orchestra was actually the jazzy reincarnation of Tommorow's Gift.By the
disbanding of the later the main core,that is keyboardist Manfred
Rürup, bassist Bernd Kiefer and drummer Wolfgang "Zabba" Lindner,
remained stable, while wind-instrumentalist Norbert Jacobsen (formerly
on Achim Reichel's projects A.R.Machines and Frankie Dymon Jr.) joined
for the recordings of ''Life''.This debut saw the light in 1974 on Brain
Records,with a CD re-issue following some 20 years later on Germanofon.
While
most of Kraut/Jazz-Rock bands of the time were tending to deliver
one-dimensional improvisations and sometimes monotonous solo
performances, ''Life'' remains on a great balance from the very first to
very last minute.Yes,the sound is typical of jazz-tinged 70's German
bands with KRAAN and PASSPORT being the closest reference points,yet
what simply amazes the listener here is the endless number of fantastic
interplays and the constant alternation of instrumental sections. Lovely
work by Jacobsen on clarinet and even better performance by Rürup on
his electric piano, which has almost a Canterbury-edge at moments.What
is even greater is the majestic use of Mellotron in a couple of
tracks,offering a haunting atmospheric background, rarely met in the
typical Kraut-Jazz releases.The rhythm section delivers a series of
furious and strong grooves and often some very complex individual
performances.The whole package is more than attractive,compared to the
best works of KRAAN, EMBRYO or PASSPORT.
An impressive mix of
Kraut Rock, Jazz and Progressive Rock, ''Life'' is a monstrous work with
a variety of moods, different passages and professional interplays and a
great starting point into an endless Kraut Rock journey.Highly
recommended. proarchives
