Dull Knife - Electric Indian. 1971 Germany

'Plastic People' is a monster track of heavy organ driven Krautrock. Sadly, it's not representative of the album as a whole. Much of the album is a mix of gospel and blues, with painfully depressing vocals, and one imagines a 70 year old lady with a bun playing the church organ through some of these snoozers. 'Tumberlin' Down' and 'Day of Wrath' hearkens back to the killer opener, offering up just enough to make it worth an attentive listen every few years.

The original Philips LP has some strange dynamics - where it gets louder and softer over large swaths of time. Weird. This was not noticeable on the Second Battle CD that I once owned.

CD: 1994 Second Battle
