Krautrock, Prog Rock, Heavy Rock, Psychedelic Rock, 1973-as album.
Bacillus Records CD újra kiadás verzió, 1993.
Message were a progressive rock band based in Germany formed by British guitarist Allan Murdoch and vocalist/woodwinds player Tommy McGuigan. Between 1972 and 1980 they recorded seven albums. McGuigan left after the fourth, Synapse. Murdoch continued to lead the band through several lineup changes and a succession of three different lead singers: David Hanselmann (on Using The Head, later with Triumvirat), Anna Haigis (on their track from the Brain Festival live album) and Sammy Kunig (on their last two albums: Astral Journeys and Miles of Smiles).
MESSAGE are similar in sound to NEKTAR though slightly heavier, darker, jazzier and rawer. Originally born as a German-British band, the music of MESSAGE oscillates between a substantial heavy rock and psychedelic rock. „From Books And Dreams” was recorded under the direction of the famous musical engineer Dieter Dierks, who recorded many „Krautrock” Bands between ’69 and ’75 (Nektar, Amon Düül, Tangerine Dream, Guru Guru etc.). The result sounds very melodic, with a ravishing and an accomplished lyrical sense of composition. Message are delivering impressive, extended, mainly instrumental heavy/ space rock tracks which can be compared (in some parts) to NEKTAR’s first effort.
