Harald Nies – Space is Everywhere
CD-R, Private Release/Syngate, 2004

A promo of this cd was handed over to me at E-Live 2004. Well, Harald Nies hails from Xanten, Germany, and has a fascination for electric guitars, guitar effect-boxes and Krautrock.

The album appears to be an instrumental one which offers quite some rocking guitar next to several synth-patterns. But from the beginning I also noticed a dry and flat sounding drum machine showing up in all seven tracks, which unfortunately isn’t handled without much imagination.

Harald thanks Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock for his tribute on the third track, which must only aply to not-that-remarkable Asian sounds and vibes.
“Starcoupe” vaguely sounded a bit Wavestar-like, but the sparkle just isn’t there for one second.

The music on “Space is Everywhere” lacks good composition, depth and above all a proper production.
I’m afraid this cd won’t please many.

Note: this album was re-released on SynGate in 2007.
