Mugstar & Damo Suzuki Live at The Invisible Wind Factory

8.5 / 10 Kraut Rock

Mugstar & Damo Suzuki Live at The Invisible Wind Factory was released on july 2nd 2020 on The Weird Beard.

Mugstar & Damo Suzuki Live at The Invisible Wind Factory is another masterful live recording from kraut rock masters. The music flows freely with Damo’s legendary signature vocal styling and Mugstar’s unparalleled instrumentation.

Damo Suzuki is well known for his time in the genre defining kraut rock band CAN. His approach to music is about one-time live improvisational performances often without any prior rehearsals or song planning. Mugstar has done this with Damo Suzuki before and they seem to communicate telepathically in these incredible live performances.

This performance is captured in one song with no breaks. The music has a driving rhythm and is vocal forward. The guitars blast out beautiful psychedelic rock tones with epic soloing and creative synth accompaniment. I am struggling to find the words for music that is so special and unique. It defies convention and is confident and fluid moving into sounds which cannot be found anywhere else. It’s a wonderful album.
