Powerful organ and heavy guitar that just scream! It's really space rock, as far as I'm concerned. Not in the Hawkwind way but more in the Pink Floyd way. Great songs, drums that could crush a brick wall and good vocals. The opening track "Redskin" has one of the coolest kraut-grooves I've ever heard. "Out In The Rain" is great. "Moving" is a space rock classic with an organ tone that will shred your speakers. The last three tracks form a sort of "suite" as they are linked together. And they are gems! Even the short and soft "Dandelion" fits the album mood perfectly. This one is a gem!
