at the Crazy Horse from the "Summer of Love" in the world of Social Networks

Neil Young wants a made by him to his feet new music portal that will present for the first time digital files without any loss of quality and heat (how many projects pulls the man actually still simultaneously?) Times just revolutionize the whole musical world to the thus again more important -and ultimately again to bring more commercial success- medium (for details: see his latest book).

To achieve this goal, he of course needs themselves in an exemplary reference product - so the sessions for Psychedelic Pill on his ranch recorded on elderly, however, known quality, analog tape and digitized carefully. The -in recent years, partly something vermisste- care comes to the album extremely good. It does not sound to garagig, not casually recorded jam sessions. The music works by immediately serious and substantial.

The pieces are all typical Crazy Horse numbers, electrified folk with hard rock attitude and uninhibited escalating solo / jam passages. The Master presents his songwriting consistently high level none of the title drops. I would even argue that some of the numbers (z. B. Walk Like a Giant) have the potential to take its place among the phalanx of the undisputed classics of the caliber Powderfinger, I'm the Ocean, Ordinary People, etc., and the boldness of this assertion is quite aware!

Psychedelic Pill is first of all once a belly experience of the first order - especially because of the sound-at least for my Empfinden- really first class, warm and "Livehaftig" comes across. The greatest merit of the disk (s) is that a new generation of listeners can now and today to find out the current Crazy Horse-plate and soak up. In other words, it is pumping, thundering, rumbling and crashing, it's a pleasure. Neil Young's guitar riffs typical archaic, his unique style of Solierens and -erstaunlich enough- its still fresh sounding voice high tower over this mighty sound foundation and give the impression that the next few decades could harm the troops nor the distance traveled. And the quality of the songs can not just feel complacent self-plagiarism arise rather represent an independent, authentic and relevant works whose implementation in decades -since brand definierten- typical Crazy Horse-style is the only correct and consistent approach here. This actually results in a time machine effect: Crazy Horse are past, present and future, Cortez the Killer are just such as She's Always Dancing from the new album..

Here no stale aftertaste remains here breathing and gasps the spirit of timeless, eternal rock 'n' roll, heavy with the wisdom of decades, but still with youthful vigor unabated. I feel now the Spirit of the Summer of Love and I am pleased at the same time that Neil Young is working a cultural harmless in the era (a) social PC Networks transport. Thank you for an amazing album, it may go on for a long time so!

Tip for skeptics: Perhaps not start from the first track, the 27-minute Driftin 'Back (the more meditative, exerts its effect on the subconscious mind) - the two versions of the title track -on CD1 with violent Flanger guitar (Thanks to the comment Thomas Glggler!), on CD2 in the familiar sound robe with normal Verzerrung- and the monumental Walk Like a Giant paved me personally very well the way in the work.
