Absolutely stunning 70’s Krautrock masterpiece with some pretty tripped out psychy moments. “Malesch“ uniquely delivers a heavy space driven but middle Eastern influenced music juxtaposed with extended guitar solos and mesmerizing atmospheres. “Malesch“ combines various recorded psychy sound effect and tape effects with extended jams and free flowing musical expressions. Once again a young Michael Hoenig performs his pattented array of electronic devices throughout. A truely magical little recording which I would recommend to all lovers of the ol’ progressive space things.
