Einstellung is the development of a mechanized state of mind. Often called a problem solving set, Einstellung refers to a person's predisposition to solve a given problem in a specific manner even though "better" or more appropriate methods of solving the problem exist. Having said that this "Einstellung" is a four piece psychedelic English rock band who likely should have been born in the 1970's along with CAN.
"Wings of desire" is the lone album from Einstellung and is a fantatsically bombastic album that will keep you up all night long! Einstellung combine the heavy tones of Black Sabbath with the landscape imagery of Mogwai and the expansive mind-altering krautrock pursuits of CAN!
Einstellung are Andrew Moscardo-Parker (Guitars), Andrew Smart (Guitars), Steve Hough (Bass) and Simon Rider (Drums). Together these guys create a loud yet very inviting wall of sound that has a great heavy "riffy" feel to it. This albums features 2 epic side long tracks that are just awesome ....."ungeeignet" and "Liedy Kann Meinen Hintern Küssen". The opening track "Tot" features the old tape introduction by Charles Berlitz from "learning a new language" which is a wonderful way to initiate this album on your turntable!
This album was conceptualized and based on the beautiful and slightly hypnotic German film also titled "Wings of Desire" which was directed by Wim Wenders. The gatefold vinyl artwork was done by Lucy McLauchlan and it is quite fitting.
If you listen really closely with volumes slightly elevated I guarantee your tinnitus will go away!!!
