It follows their eponymous debut and follow-up \u003ci\u003eAdios Al Futuro\u003c\/i\u003e, both of which featured in prog top 20 charts and helped establish the band as a vital voice in modern progressive music. Both attracted some enthusiastic reviews, neatly summarised by \"they seem to encapsulate and deconstruct the entire history of British avant-rock in one fell swoop\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis recording is a natural progression, building on and refining their core sound, which features a combination of composed and improvised music. The trio have many overlapping musical influences and a shared love of improvisation. However, it is the melding of their individual styles that brings it together within a modern context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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.\" - Sid Smith\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Discus","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50483588432203,"sku":"1135460","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e40dcab1-15fe-46e5-a79d-92b2a82c3b21_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727569870"},{"product_id":"veer","title":"Veer","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor their fourth full length release since the band was formed in 2018, Das Rad has returned to basics with an expanded line up. Following on from two \"lockdown\" albums where the original trio worked mainly in their own studios, much of the basic tracking for Veer was played live.We also welcome bass guitarist Jon Short to the band for the first time, once again with a view on re-emphasizing live interaction in the music. The showpiece is the 25 minute suite Expergefactor, which closes the album and which also features the extraordinary voice of Peter Rophone. But setting the scene for this finale, the preceding tracks variously revisit some stripped down krautrock \/ kosmiche based improv, virtuosic jazzrock, leftfield soundscaping and even (always tucked away somewhere in the music on previous albums) a short homage to the dubbed out sounds of Augustus Pablo. Another Das Rad record where krautrock grooves, extended arrangements, free improvisation and electronic abstraction all meet in the creative centre of the sound.
