Liliental Liliental (CD)

Liliental was created during Dieter Moebius' creative break with the Krautrock/electronic band Cluster. Moebius was supported by the two Kraan members Helmut Hattler (electric bass) and Johannes Pappert (alto saxophone) as well as Okko Becker (keyboards, vocals, guitar, percussion) and Asmus Tietchens (Moog, grand piano). Conny Plank, who has also been involved in the release of various Cluster albums, rounded off the quartet as guitarist, keyboarder and vocalist as well as producer.
Originally released on Brain in 1978, the band's only work combines "ambient" synth elements with rock, jazz and "exotic" experiments. The album of the same name by the band Liliental from 1978 is a unique piece of Krautrock history.
With this album, the band members, including Conny Plank and Dieter Moebius, created an extraordinary soundscape that is as catchy as it is sophisticated, in some cases more versatile than the subsequent Cluster albums.
The songs on "Liliental" are characterized by hypnotic rhythms, virtuoso instrumental passages and haunting vocal interludes.
An album that lovers of experimental music and Krautrock should definitely not miss.
