The second and final album from this German band.
Wind was a quintet with a lineup of percussion, mellotron, drums, piano, bass, keyboards, guitars and vocals.
Their debut album Seasons from 1971 was a really good album and has given the band a "semi-classic band" status.
So I was curious to know what this album was going to offer me.
Forty-three minutes of a heady mix of most things, the answer is.
The band combines a lot of The Beatles most whimsical stuff with some serious symphonic prog, krautrock and pop.
Most of the material here is very light-hearted and light-weight. There are a lot of silliness here. I think this constitute German humour...... or British humour. Wind's take on this humour does not really work out well.
The more serious stuff is far better. This on an album which is frustrating and not satisfying. There are some good stuff here. But the album as a whole is only a decent album. Which is a great shame.
