Kraftwerk-Tone Float

Tone Float
 
Organization's Tone Float doesn't sound like Kraftwerk, but it does sound like late 60s/early 70s Krautrock. Ralf and Florian made a big stylistic leap between Tone Float and the Kraftwerk 1 and 2 albums with the more free form Tone Float leading into more groove oriented percussion and riffs in the first two Kraftwerk albums. Organization's basic sound is similar to the first Tangerine Dream album Electronic Meditations, Saucerful of Secrets, Kluster, Limbus 4's Mandala, Stockhausen, and late 60s era Steve Reich. If you're into trippy chaotic experimental music, you'll probably enjoy this. Tone Float didn't make Julian Cope's Krautrock Sampler Top 50, but it does get listed in The Crack in the Cosmic Egg's Top 100 Krautrock Albums. The sound quality is acceptable: it's a pretty good quality vinyl transfer with some low level surface noise and distortion. If you want to hear the music you'll be grateful someone went through the effort to put out this cd.
