A 1981 album by guitarist Georg Lawall, also a central member of the German ethno jazz-rock group Orexis. Recorded live in Kirchheim, Germany, the entire album is performed on 12-string acoustic guitar, unfolding like a deeply personal musical diary. B1 is especially impressive, with the finely detailed tone of the acoustic guitar bursting outward and spreading through the space with a wonderful sense of openness. B2 takes a more rhythmic direction, using the guitar almost like a percussion instrument to create an intensely primitive, driving groove. Throughout the album, Lawall delivers lyrical and highly expressive guitar playing that stands comfortably alongside the work of Steve Tibbetts or Egberto Gismonti. A superb recording from beginning to end.
B1: Trance-Aktion
B2: Per-dis-Kussion
