With a name like Kraan, it's got to be good. In truth, the music is exceptional. The musicians are polished, and the production is quite clear. The music is special in the sense that every single note of every instrument is completely audible. The mix is evenly balanced without losing a single drop of energy. The engineers should take a bow. They give volume to the music and fill the space. As far as the musicians, there is always someone willing to go in for the drive. However, nobody hogs the court. The musicians are all-stars, but they work well as a team. The ball is kept in constant motion. The players consist of Ingo Bischf on keyboards, Jon Fried on drums and percussion, and Hellmut Hattler on bass guitar. Peter Wolbrandt volunteers his services for a dual role. He plays the guitar and contributes a sparse amount of singing.

The music undulates like a coast on a breezy day. Boats ride upon the water's surface while waves splash upon the rocks. The trees sway in the wind. There is activity all around, but it would premature to pick out a name for the next hurricane. The music is cool and controlled. The sky is still blue. The waves can still be safely ridden. It is a hot summer day and it is great to be outside soaking up some rays. Through delivers some rocking instrumentals. Like King Crimson, the vocals are never the main focus. The lyrics are secondary. The instrumental passages are the vital organs that keep the music going. With trim muscle and a strong ticker, the doctor delivers a clean bill of health.
