DAS RAD: Nick Robinson - guitars, keys / Martin Archer - woodwind, keys / Jon Short - bass guitar / Steve Dinsdale - drums, keys / Peter Rophone - voices, guitar.
Das Rad - where krautrock grooves, extended arrangements, free improvisation and electronic abstraction all meet in the creative centre of the sound. Commentator Sid Smith (Prog Magazine) says: "Is it jazz? Is it rock? Is it folk? Is it prog? Is it electronica? The answer is all of the above and probably a lot more besides. Not that Das Rad care and neither should you. Energetic, incisive and infused with an inquisitive, passionate spirit, Das Rad create music that goes where it needs to. Do what you can to join them on that journey."
Described in a recent review a pure heavenly euphoria, to put simply, astounding. Progressive music in the truest sense of the term, transcending the oft-clichd sobriquet prog. They walk in the footsteps of the rock/jazz/fusion gods of the 70s but make their imprints deeper, more unshapely and longer-lasting. Ears be blown here, folks. Godlike.
