MICHAEL ROTHER - Flammende Herzen LP boogie and fend for itself amidstThere was great anticipation around the release of Flammende Herzen when it first emerged in 1977. People were eager to see what Michael Rother would get up to after Neu! had disbanded, and the inclusion of Cans Jaki Liebezeit also added to the intrigue. The resulting record didnt disappoint, hitting big with a combination of proggy composition, Krautrock invention and Motorik rhythm.
