Edgar Froese

Maybe the most one in Tangerine Dream's style (but very original as well) of the Edgar Froese's albums is this Macula Transfer, issued in 1976. If you like intense mellotron, then you should like this record. There are indeed tons of mellotron here. On the first side, the echoed electric guitar of Edgar Froese gives a solid rhythm to the ensemble. His rhythmic guitar sound is often almost acoustic, distortion free. The keyboards sound like on the "Stratosfear" album (Tangerine Dream), but the beat on the second part is more tribal & monotonous. The last song of the first side has this minimal beat that increases gradually in speed, while you hear Froese's basic hard rock electric guitar solos, through bizarre Krautrock voices and keyboards effects: at the end, this beat is fast enough to make you believe that a fictitious machine is about to explode! The artist plays all instruments.
