REMEMBER I WAS CARBON DIOXIDE by CAMERA

Krautrock, that perennial badge of hipness. The ultimate honorary title for repetitive music, as played by Camera.In fact, the Berlin bands penchant for playing without permission in underground stations or other public places (in the gents at the Echo awards ceremony) has seen them dubbed "Krautrock Guerilla". One hears a hypnotic beat. A musical drift that sweeps the listener into a trance. Shimmering elegance, forceful bursts of garage rock, a gentle flow, spherical flight. And one can hear it resonate beyond the horizon of this music. Searching, researching, yearning. Camera have the resolve to search and explore-listen to "Hallraum", for example, the closing track on their new album-they have an appetite for beauty, to play around with it a little. You can still call it Krautrock, if you must.
