Escapade - 'Due To A Faulty Premonition' (Mother West)

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is the band's fifth release and '...Premonition' does a great job of fusing krautrock with ambient experimentation.My guess would be that the band members had listened to a fair share of Neu!,Faust and Amon Dull II prior to forming Escapade."Soundtrap" is a winner,starting off acoustic and later builds up as it gets better."When A Squall Line Beckons" is fun to check out and all,but it has an indescribable sound to it as "I See Things" is an eleven-minute epic that makes one feel like they're able to float around in a giant colorful room with hundreds of marshmallows all around them."Singe" is a jazzy freakout track that employs some rather heavy bass."Undoubtedly" is probably the disc's best cut as it's an awesomely beautiful twelve-minute trip through pure sonic mayhem."Postscript A Flickering" is another beautiful gem that brings this trek to a close as it seems that the band's instruments are bidding you,the listener a good night.Nice CD to own."
