Retrospection (Part 2) 12”

This second part of Emotional Rescue’s Dunkelziffer reissue project sees the underrated Krautrock Supergroup formed of Dominik von Senger (Golf Channel), Reiner Linke and Helmut Zerlett, and the rotating cast that also included Jaki Liebezeit, Damo Suzuki, Olek Gelba, Wolfgang Schubert, Stefan Krachten and Matthias Keu get a second EP of carefully selected material, fully licensed and remastered.

“Trailer II” comes from their 1986 album III, and is a proto psyche-disco number with a healthy does of live bass funk, while “Blieb Nicht So Lang Im Schatten” is a more frenetic number from the 1983 album Colours and Soul. On the flip, “Dark Number” provides a dubbed out combination of tribal rhythms and light synth textures, while “Oriental Cafe” is a dark, motorik jam with arid Middle Eastern melodies simmering to the surface.
