Rezension von Christian Rode
Bands, die die Tradition des Krautrock hochhalten, gibt es vergleichsweise wenige – im Vergleich etwa zur Psychedelic. Spontan fallen mir da Space Debris mit ihren Krautrocksessions ein, Zone Six oder eben Zeitloop, die bereits mit Weihnachten in der Sahara ein zeitlos spaciges Album dieses Genres auf den mittlerweile recht uberschaubaren Markt gebracht haben.
Die Band, die nach Selbsteinschatzung unterschiedlichste Musikstile in ihren Sound einfliesen lasst (Krautrock, Rock/Pop, Jazz, Electronic, Triphop, Ambient, Weltmusik), ist sich stilistisch treu geblieben, hat ihr Klangbild jedoch weiter entfaltet. Der Orient-/Indien-Einschlag ist geblieben, wurde jedoch durch eine erganzende weibliche Stimme ausgebaut, sodass etwas Amon Duul-Flair aufkommt (Far away, Ma Ka Ha Nya). Der bluesig-psychedelische Akzent wurde verstarkt (das vergleichsweise trockene, an Grateful Dead erinnernde Invisible Man, aber auch spaciger Nightmare und Things must be done). Eine relaxt-funkige Nummer gibt es ebenfalls wieder (Love of a woman). Auserdem das jazzrockige Titelstuck des Vorgangeralbums. Abgerundet wird die Scheibe durch einen Live-Mitschnitt mit Damo Suzuki von den Krautrock-Urvatern Can am Gesang.
Insgesamt wirkt Marrakesch mit seinem wunderhubschen, abstrakten Cover noch relaxter als das Vorgangeralbum und erzeugt eine noch starker atmospharisch-hypnotische Wirkung. Zeitloop zeigen wieder einmal – bei leicht veranderter Rezeptur – wie zeitgemaser Krautrock klingen kann, der sich seiner Traditionen deutlich bewusst ist.
Anspieltipp(s): Things must be done, Far away
