We proudly announce the CD REmaster Editionof the 1972 Original release , one of the most important GermanrnKrautrock albums - Remastered by Manuel Göttsching himself.rnAs for the info we refer to Julian Cope´s review in his “Krautrocksampler” Book,rnPublisher : Head Heritage (1 Oct. 1995) :rn“Beware of Schwingungen!” That should be the large sticker on the front of all copies of this record. For it is dangerous to be casuallyrnintroduced to something that is life-changing, as I found out to my cost when first listening to this record.rnIt all starts fairly simply and without any cause for alarm - “Look at Your Sun” begins with a Doorsy lone groover guitar begins a pedestrianrnblues, beautiful. Then the most crushed voice, a cross between Johnny Rotten and Tiny Tim, preaches its way into the proceeds. God, itrnis beautiful - John L. repeats over and over, “We are all one, we are all one”, until a howling fuzztone solo guitar blows the whole onechord “Signed D.C.” ringing-cymbals torture to an end. And then the most far out track of all begins. This is called “Flower Must Die” andrnit is a free-rock giant that transcends everything else in its field (there are no contenders.) As I've written before, PIL sounds like this. JohnrnL. was John Lydon in a previous incarnation. After a slow weird build, a frantic streamlined one-chord mantra kicks in and it’s like thernStooges’ Funhouse period but in a Righteous Vision Zone that fucks them right off. Phasing tears at the whole tracks as this Holy Racketrncrosses into Hyper-space and everything gets all hyphenated just-for-the-sake-of-it. “Flowers Must Die”, man, it’s fucked up. Over on Sidern2, the title-track (“Vibrations”) begins poetically enough with Wolfgang Muller’s epic and hugely reverbed vibraphone. Organ fades in andrnFX guitars, and time passes by. Finally, tom-toms roll and the developing pace is built upon until that great eternal chord sequence finally materialises — this is the one that Göttsching and Enke believed was the sound of heaven.rnThey may have been right. And Schwingungen was a gift from the Gods.“
