    4 out of 5 stars Escapade - 'Due To A Faulty Premonition' (Mother West).......2004-01-20

    This is the band's fifth release and '...Premonition' does a great job of fusing krautrock with ambient experimentation.My guess would be that the band members had listened to a fair share of Neu!,Faust and Amon Dull II prior to forming Escapade."Soundtrap" is a winner,starting off acoustic and later builds up as it gets better."When A Squall Line Beckons" is fun to check out and all,but it has an indescribable sound to it as "I See Things" is an eleven-minute epic that makes one feel like they're able to float around in a giant colorful room with hundreds of marshmallows all around them."Singe" is a jazzy freakout track that employs some rather heavy bass."Undoubtedly" is probably the disc's best cut as it's an awesomely beautiful twelve-minute trip through pure sonic mayhem."Postscript A Flickering" is another beautiful gem that brings this trek to a close as it seems that the band's instruments are bidding you,the listener a good night.Nice CD to own.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent psych rock soundscapes.......2001-01-02

    Listening to this cd is like taking a journey through new lands of sound. It's strange, but not TOO strange. Overall, Escapade concentrates on texture & atmosphere instead of melody, although it's obvious these guys CAN play their instruments! There's lots of cool synth, varied guitar textures, strong drumming and a certain vibe that's hard to describe.

    The opener 'Sound Trap' begins softly with acoustic guitar and builds into a throbbing pulsating entity that's minimal in melody but not minimal in texture. 'When A Squall Line Beckons' is the sound of the world almost coming to an end, with powerful swirling waves of sound surrounding an insistent drum beat. 'I See Things' is experimental ambient, and 'Singe' is a weird manic piece of music with an off-kilter rhythm and what sounds like breaking glass piercing through the rising tension. 'Undoubtedly' has a kinda jazz-rock - but not really fusion - jam that has two contrasting guitars: a jazzy electric guitar fighting it out against a squealing acid guitar that spews out solid sheets of noise and controlled feedback. All this settles into the second part which builds up into a hypnotic section with furious tribal drumming being a focal point along with percussive guitar. The last piece, 'Postscript: A Flickering' reminds me of Fripp & Eno, but with darker overtones. Perfect closing track to drift away with.

    I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys Krautrock bands like Can, Ash Ra Tempel or Faust, and also to fans of adventurous psychedelic music & space-rock. A future classic, I dare say!
