Two-fer reissue of the 2 Eiliff albums, originally released by Philips in 1971/2. "On their two predominantly instrumental albums, Eiliff destroyed barriers between rock and jazz and established progressive genres, with lengthy intensive compositions that twist and turn with startling complexity, or riff with amazing power and stability. In their unique concoction songs were rarely used, and only then to counterpoint the instrumentals, and when necessary get over an idea that couldn't be achieved without words. Eiliff just seemed to do everything right. They had the power of Mahavishnu Orchestra, the invention of Guru Guru, the diversity of Out Of Focus, and really they were purely excessive, with diverse elements blended together as only experienced in Krautrock. Intense chopping piano and organ, along with excellent drums and firm bass guitar providing a structure for a wealth of superb guitar from virtuoso Houschäng Nejadepour, and lots of smooth 'Mothers styled'electric sax. Eiliff itself is remarkable as one of the most complexly instrumental of Krautrock albums, not least the 20 minute side-long 'Suite,' whereas Girlrls! came close, but was shorter, more condensed and added a touch of hard-rock and psychedelia." -- Freeman's.
