Contrary to
other bands produced by the famous Conny Plank (KRAFTWERK, GURU GURU and
many others), NOSFERATU's musical career was very short and suffered of
a lack of recognition by a larger public. Almost nothing is said about
their history and the only thing we have from them is a fresh,
enthousiastic, atypical jazzy rock album dominated by raw, aggressive
guitars and progressive "folk" arrangements. NOSFERATU belongs to this
kind of German bands who success to create a deep and trippy atmosphere
thanks to fine moments of long instrumental solos, crossing with an
original touch guitars to sax, flute and electric organs. The lyrics are
sung in English and stay very strong. An enjoyable effort which can be
compared with others "cult" German fusion items. Similar bands: DZYAN,
