Camera
ESNS: 2013
The Berlin-based trio Camera has played with Krautrock legends Michael Rother (NEU!, Harmonia) and Dieter Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia). In August 2012 their debut album Radiate! was released. First proffered by no lesser figure than Michael Rother, who played a number of shows together with the Camera boys. Further proof that Camera hit the genuine Krautrock nerve with their music was a joint gig with Rother and his old comrade Dieter Moebius. The pioneers of 40 years ago have taken note of Camera's qualities, both supporting and promoting them. Camera's musical spectrum ranges from driving motorik rock to serene,  epically flowing tracks by way of foreboding soundscape ridges. In other words: it can be right in your face or elsewhere in interstellar spheres,  where time and space have no meaning; cosmic/kosmische music! One can clearly hear the influence of their paragons, NEU!, Harmonia, Cluster and La Düsseldorf. Camera have taken Krautrock onto the street, straight to the people, making the magical achievements of German musical pioneers accessible to a wider listenership with their guerilla tactics. We cannot thank them enough for that.
