Shameless in their revisiting of krautrock\u2019s heyday, Mood Taeg owe a bit to Can (on the rhythm side) and a whole lot to the tasty, optimistic splendour of Cluster and Harmonia. The basic building blocks are gently stimulating rhythms and intricate, scintillating motifs on guitar and synths. The latter is hinted at in the very title of their second album. An anaphora is a lexical repetition attached to variations (think of Dr. King\u2019s \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d speech) with a pronounced and immediate psychological effect\u2014the comfort of the familiar facilitating openness to the unknown. One can say the same not only of their compositional techniques but also of their expansion on the ideas from mid-\u201970s thinking-person\u2019s pop from Germany, taking the familiar a bit further. On that note, where their debut Exophora<\/em><\/strong><\/a> used the human voice very discreetly and for purely textural purposes, Anaphora bears extended snatches of archival chatter of artists and activists, to more clearly express their worldview. Nothing too conspicuous, mind you. That\u2019s in keeping with their preference for subtle complexity over sheer mass, something that makes Anaphora<\/em> an unobtrusively invigorating listen.
