Tyll – Sexphonie

From Mutant Sounds:

“Truly wonderful and extremely little known krautrock released on the Kerston label (same imprint as the Gaa LP) and with something of their widely variable and fascinating approach. With it’s seamless fusions of acid rock fury and amiable folksiness, this project of Eulenspygel’s drummer (using the first name of the notable German roguish literary character that Eulenspygel would take their name from) has a definite stylistic carry-over from it’s parent project, albeit lacking the wildly over-the-top vocals that make Eulenspygel a no-go proposition for some.”

To my ears it’s all over the place. There’s a fusion of hard-rock and folk rock with some jazzish passages. It’s like if you mixed Hendrix with a heavy dose of Zappa. The first track features fuzz guitar leads, an Eastern melody and syncopated rhythms. Then the third track, the acoustic “Asiatische Liebeserklarung”, is pure raga. The following track is a vocal-heavy acid jazz/rock number. Like I said…it’s all over the place. Odds are if you come to this blog in search of either weird acid folk, heavy rock, or the jazzier side of progressive rock records, you’ll find something in this album you can appreciate.
