Lightshine - Feeling. 1976 Germany


Feeling is one of those albums that seems to have been made to sound rare. It's really perfect from an underground perspective. It doesn't possess the Krautrock sound as we know it, more like a late era psychedelic band who recently discovered progressive rock. The guitar is higher pitched and maintains an acidic tone. There's flute and synthesizer, but the Krautrock staple of organ is nowhere to be found. Unusual song structures and vocal styling. Lightshine's overall sound is more French than German. 

Ownership: LP: 2012 Garden of Delights. Single sleeve, numbered edition (mine is #486). Online acqusition (2016). Excellent reissue with full band and original label history. More fleshed out than the original CD, which was my introduction to the album (1994). This was one of Penner's (pre-GoD) early releases, before they became more thorough.

1994; 4/24/16; 2/19/22 (LP 3.4); 10/17/22 (new entry)
