This is the second album from German trio Junk Farm. Released some 2 years after their debut , I was curious to find out how the band had developed.
First thing I noticed was the dropping of the “fusion trio from hell” monicker. And indeed, little fusion work outs this time. Alas, I really liked those on the debut. Music Police is the sole exception.
But what has stayed is the humor (see cover and song titles like Stalker, Lost By A Love Song and Eurovision Song-incest), the ferocious grooves, the organ, the melodic singing with strong harmony vocals and the great guitar riffing and soloing.
New are the synthesiser solo´s here and there. At least in my humble opinion. Nice touch with the acoustic guitar in song Where Are We Going To and the closing track as well.
So as a whole this album sounds more coherent as the debut, but I miss those fusion tracks a little. Nevertheless, if you like your music rocking, with melody and groove, check this band out. They are excellent!
Personal play tips: Didn´t Come To Dance, Still Not Dead, 10 Out Of 1, etc. .
