Novalis - Konzerte

Ex-/ex | KONZERTE is a very good live concert from one of the most original German Krautrock bands. It captures NOVALIS at their creative peak. Few albums unveil a new member with a live recording, but that's precisely what NOVALIS did with their first (of two) 1977 releases. KONZERTE is a live document that also serves as a prémiere for the band's new frontman, Austrian singer Fred Mühlböck. Mühlböck is probably the first real singer the band ever had. Prior to his membership, the vocals were understated in a Camel sense, there just to have someone singing. But Mühlböck actually has something of a vocal presence: he's dramatic without falling into the trap of having fits of spastic, tasteless “hard rock” histrionics like so many others. He also plays guitar, so earlier pieces like “Wer Schmetterlinge lachen hört” can be interpreted in fullest glory. Also, he's a flute player, adding additional texture to an already full and rich sound. The long compositons contain many wonderful changing climates, from mellow, classical and folky to up-tempo rock and bombastic symphonic. The keyboard sound is magnificent, especially if you like the vintage keyboards, always sounding warm and distinctive.
