Lied des Teufels - s/t. 1973 Germany
Lied des Teufels is the second incarnation of Hanuman, and is an
unusual album that blends Deutschrock with Krautrock somewhat
seamlessly. Aren't they one in the same, you ask? Well... no. And this
album is the best example I've come across that displays both - right
next to each other and even blended together. The
trippy/cosmic/psychotic Krautrock side of the band shows up most
distinctly on 'Nichts', but in most of the other songs as well. The
straightforward German rock side is best exemplified on 'Wenn du
fragst', but is also present elsewhere. Certainly not an exceptional
album for my tastes - coming across as a less angst-ridden Franz K, for
example. But worth checking out, and in my case, ownership for the short
term at least.
