A perfect album. Review of DER BLUTHARSCH AND THE INFINITE CHURCH OF THE LEADING HAND – SUCHT & ORDNUNG

I loved music of Albin Julius since i've heard his absolutely fantastic band The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud, which is one of the best bands for me. Boyd Rice & Fiends, other projects of Albin Julius are also great, but new one, Der Blutharsch And The Infinite Church Of The Leading Hand, is a real treasure which does two great things: helps to discover Krautrock/Psychedelic rock/Stoner rock and creates new spaces, sounds. And, it sounds very melodic, great tunes make it "radio-friendly", but not in a bad sense of the word. The new album, Sucht & Ordnung (November 2016), is really a perfect album. I just cannot say anything bad about it. But there are things i can say about it and you might want to know them.

A perfect album. Review of DER BLUTHARSCH AND THE INFINITE CHURCH OF THE LEADING HAND – SUCHT & ORDNUNG

A question: what does a perfect album need?

1) It doesn't have to be long. This one (Sucht & Ordnung) is almost 30 minutes, i think, it's enough.

2) It must have catchy tunes (nevermind, if it's ABBA or experimental music, or Space Rock as here). This one (Sucht & Ordnung) has them: the first track (as always, it's called Untitled) begins with a great cosmic melody and goes deep into meditation. Der Blutharsch is Hawkwind of our times.

3) It must leave great emotions. Sometimes painful, sad, depressive, sometimes uplifting (as here). No emotions - no music. Here, they exist and are both earthly and cosmic.

4) It must have an idea, a good design. Sucht & Ordnung has it all. "Addiction and Order" stands for different mentalites, it's improvised, jammed and recorded live at Pure Sound Studio (Vienna). Three songs which make you want to listen to album again for at least several times in a row.

"Forward - into time and space", - says Lina Baby Doll (Deutsch Nepal) about this album. I fully agree with another master of sound.

P.S.The third part of our interview with Albin Julius will soon be published in radikaliai.lt. Don't miss it.
