Shamall - In Search of Precision CD

Review: ".....If you would ask Norbert Krueler in the year 1994 for his personal favorite, he would have answered without hesitation: "In Search of Precision". At that time this album was his whole pride, because it reflects Norbert's high demands concerning classical compositions.

Without doubt, this album stands out a little bit against previous releases. All compositions are substantially more complex. The title "In Search of Precision" and the opus "Dream of a better world" (with 5 parts) show particularly Shamall's demanding search for musical precision. The sound of each title is crystal-clear, the arrangements are outstanding and the brilliant impression of the whole opus let you suppose, that everything would be played in with an orchestra.

The detailed work of the classic passages shows Shamall's obsession to rise to perfection. "In Search of Precision" breaks all rules of electronic pop music. "Heartland" (the first part of "Dream of a better world") conveys a slight feeling of "Johann Sebastian Bach" (well-known german componist of classic music) - an incredible artistic masterpiece. But "Horizons", "Ambrosia" and "Time Machine" are truly tidbits for Shamall-Fans. The great variety of this album is completed with ballads like "Theme of a Broken Romance" and "Tell me why"....."
