E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr – Kometenbahn (2013)

Always having surprises for us, Svart Records presents the very unique and highly experimental release “Kometenbahn”, by Finish outfit E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr. Mixing all kinds of genres but mainly: Electronic, Ambient, Krautrock and Progressive elements from the 70’s, this is one very weird and totally different release to what we are used to… and we kind of dig it.

Opening with an electronic intro “Prolog im Himmel”, the band slowly builds up with the futuristic and hypnotic “Nachtgeist”, a song that we picture to be playing in all the elevators of Sci-Fi movies like “Minority Report” and such. “Durch Den Komischen Dunst” is an 11 minute epic that is very rich in diverse elements and it is greatly put together to craft a very ethereal experience. We have to say that this is one of our favorite tracks of this release thanks to its very soothing and engaging pace.

The very sparse and minimalistic “Sonnenwind” changes the pace of things a bit, but it great fits with the band’s very unique and trippy concept. Before the culmination of this release, “Mythos” and “Sonnenaufgang” deliver two very dreamy tracks filled with lush atmospheric elements that while never overdone, transmit very direct and transcendental emotions. We particularly love how up-beat the closing track is, putting an end to such a journey presented by this outfit.

Overall, not all people that read this site might even be remotely interesting in “Kometenbahn”, but for those that are always looking for sonically pleasing music with a lot of experimental elements, we can surely recommend this release. Svart Records keeps releasing very interesting and unconventional releases making E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr a band that totally fits on their unique roster.
