(Review from progarchives.com)

Hailing from Stuttgart, Gila impress us with a dynamic, intense and imaginative communication between spacey rock improvisations, lengthy psych guitar solos accompanied by luminous electric organ chords.

“Agression” is a cosmic krautrock jamming, strictly instrumental (as the rest of the album), dominated by subtle and technical guitar / organ combinations. “Kollaps” is a dark and creepy instrumental piece with moody organ parts and weird, plaintive noises. “Kontact” starts with a variation of different sound collages to finally turn into an acoustic, folk guitar trip with an obvious “eastern” flavour. The track directly carries on “Kollektivitt” for a full-on guitar / organ jam with some folky, mellow accents. “Individualitat” is a strong hypnotic-tribal jam for percussions and guitar experimentations. A serious, intricate mixture between free rock, spacey-psych effects and discreet eastern influences.

As usual with the German bands of the era, the sound on record is raw, never really refined. Do not look for symphonic orchestration or over-production. Gila’s debut is a real gem in the space rock genre but very intimate climate.
