Comment: I have heard by someone that ketamine as a drug used to cause the subject to endlessly laugh. What then about ketadrms? Is it then about an endless session of exuberant drumming/drum programming? This outing of nine compositions is about a tight mix of unnerving and even choked electronic propulsions and on the other hand one used to hear hip-hop chants, decelerated fatty basses, and lighthearted synthesised progressions atop. Is the latter mentioned facet die helle Seite des Mondes (the bright side of the Moon) mentioned in the title? By my personal opinion I am thinking of it as something easy-going due to those volatile yet impressive gears to be moving along the bouncy rhythmic backbone. The strength of this legendary Kreislauf-released issue can be characterised through its unorthodox, free-flowing nature. In fact, it may remind of those tendencies being prevalent at the end of the 60s in Germany which eventually led to establishment of a swarm of crazed groups called Krautrock. One can feel coherent profoundness and a synergistic essence to latch on to those slightly different tendencies and deceptively ramshackle structures. In a word, as you have already figured out it is a bloody top notch.
