Time Of Commotion – Live From The 70's – Es Ist Nie Zu Spät 1970 Germany,Prog Rock, Krautrock

At times it seems the 70s were endless when it comes to unreleased music. Not only did we receive more officially released great music than any other decade, but the same holds true for those that didn't get around to it - or didn't have the opportunity. Time of Commotion is yet one more of these bands. The liner notes seem to indicate that Time of Commotion were poised for the big time. If Live From The 70's ‎- Es Ist Nie Zu Spät is the representative of their overall sound, then I'd suggest different: Time of Commotion sounds like countless Krautrock bands of the early 70s, none any more professional than the other. But still great throughout. There are 8 long tracks here, totaling close to 65 minutes. It's live and the sound has been pushed to the maximum - but for music such as this, the light distortion still works. Time of Commotion seems more like a compendium of Krautrock than a participant. The usual UK and US suspects can be held as influences, such as Uriah Heep ('Requiem'), Iron Butterfly ('Spectrum'), Pink Floyd ('Space Orbit'), Deep Purple ('The Boogie'), and even Genesis ('Fairy Tales and Other Stories'). 'Elegy' has some wonderful melodic interludes that are a bit unexpected in this setting. Organ is - as usual - the dominant instrument with plenty of guitar accompaniment. If the 1971/1972 German hard prog scene of the Bacillus, Philips, Polydor, Pilz, and Brain labels get you fired up, then Time of Commotion comes as an easy recommendation.
