Krautrock at its finest. This German electronica outfit was notorious for its live shows, which were excessively loud and sometimes performed in complete darkness. "Ricochet" is the first of their many live recordings. Interestingly, most of their live music was never released as studio material. The album consists of two compositions, "Ricochet Part 1" and "Ricochet Part 2", each over 15 minutes long. The substantial use of synthesisers, electric guitars and percussion marked a significant shift in the band's sound, from psychedelia to electronic rock, paving the way for modern trance music.
Personal Picks : I'm slightly partial towards Part 2. Do what I do and play the album when you're going to sleep. You'll really listen to it then.
