Our Take

Ah, KRAAN's "Porta Westfalica 1975" - a cheeky little number that's as delightful as a cup of Earl Grey on a rainy day. This album is like a rollercoaster ride of funky basslines, jazzy grooves, and mind-bending synth solos that will have you tapping your feet and scratching your head in equal measure.

The rhythm section on this record is tighter than a hipster's skinny jeans, with Helmut Hattler's basslines providing a solid foundation for Peter Wolbrandt's psychedelic guitar wizardry. Add in Jan Fride's slick keys and Jan Adda Fischer's impeccable drumming, and you've got a recipe for musical magic.

Tracks like "Wintruper Echo" and "Vollgas Ahoi" are perfect examples of KRAAN's unique blend of jazz, funk, and rock, with each member of the band given ample opportunity to shine. The interplay between the musicians is like a well-oiled machine, with each member seemingly able to anticipate the others' moves before they even make them.

Overall, "Porta Westfalica 1975" is a joyous romp through the funky, groovy world of KRAAN. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the band or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. So grab a copy, pour yourself a G&T, and let KRAAN take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
