On Mantra album, Karlheinz Stockhausen have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. It’s natural for Karlheinz Stockhausen to take a stab at ‘Takt 1-11′ considering her long-professed love for Led Zeppelin. Karlheinz Stockhausen had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. This is my first Karlheinz Stockhausen Album and i must say i am blown away.
From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Put Takt 62-70 into car stereo for your highway driving Takt 71-88 actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Karlheinz Stockhausen’s face. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Takt 109-120 is astounding. Takt 121-131 - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Takt 132-151 is probably one of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Takt 152-188 is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Mantra. In Takt 189-211 it becomes nowhere more obvious that Karlheinz Stockhausen has yet to define own style. Excellent vocals and musical performances. Takt 238-261 is one of the best records ever. Karlheinz Stockhausen is hitting on all cylinders in Takt 262-281. Vocals of Karlheinz Stockhausen in Takt 282-323 really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. Takt 324-444 - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Takt 445-487 is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. No Karlheinz Stockhausen song has come close to capturing my attention as Takt 488-529 did. Takt 530-577 is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Takt 578-608 is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Takt 609-637 was the first single release from the album Mantra. Takt 638-655 - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Karlheinz Stockhausen emotions are reflected through Takt 656-672. Music and lyrics of Takt 673-687 creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Takt 688-854 has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Karlheinz Stockhausen’s strong vocals come to the fore. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly.
