conny plank behind the desk and it shows - the same guy who mic'd neu! and kraftwerk let a bunch of teenagers cut a thirteen-minute title track that spends its first four minutes just finding a pulse before schenker, sixteen years old, absurd, takes it over. not can and not trying to be, but that side-long sprawl is the same instinct filtered through hard rock. the 2026 mix actually opens the low end up instead of slapping on a loudness pass, so for once a new mix isn't code for nothing new. headphones only, obviously. motorik heartbeat under a metal record nobody expects it in.

sixteen-year-old schenker playing that loose is genuinely unfair, nobody that age should sound so unbothered. and the four minutes it spends finding a pulse is the same patience a good post-rock build runs on, anyway.

four minutes finding a pulse is a generous way of saying nobody had written a part yet. plank's the only reason any of it holds together, which is also true of records i'd rather be playing. anyway.
