Lacrima "Lacrima" 1981 German Prog Symphonic Rock masterpiece..
What a cover drawing! On the left a clown is about to hang himself, on the right a huge ?chrysalis is hanging from the bare tree, but why are the two line-figures running towards it? Others might see something else here, I would love to hear some interpretations. I've said it before, the covers are always worth seeing on these old records, these artists cared so much about their presentation package, not just the music. In style this is 'typical' German symphonic prog with some acoustic bases, I think everyone know what this means, I'm not going to insult you with examples or explanations. And note there is a part 2 coming for those who love this style! I made a mistake yesterday in calling it 'seventies symphonic' of course this is from the early eighties, though the style is definitely the seventies style I think you'll agree.Of course this is from the Berlin stash or perhaps I should call it, my BC -- Berlin Connection -- in a nod to the cdrwl-- which you may have noticed is also updating at a frantic pace. So the fall will prove a bonanza for the rare prog rock fan. I've spent many hours listening to trash to try to bring you the best of what I've heard. The next 2 albums will be stuff I've resurrected from Tom's cdrwl which I felt he unfairly maligned in his posts from last year, you can be the judges and juries for these (as well as the executioners for Tom). They at first were hard to like but over the course of the year I found I listened to them more and more and enjoyed them more and more, this is why I will present them to you. That kind of album: initially perhaps disappointing, but give it time, they turn out to be full of interesting intricacies. So without a doubt I call them personal "priority 2's"!
