LP version. Web Web present their sixth album with a new touch. More psychedelic, sometimes more krauty than before. This time, Web Web, with their original line-up (without Max Herre) have (again) chosen a special guest: JJ Whitefield (The Poets Of Rhythm/Karl Hector & The Malcouns/Syrup), who contributes the fantastic guitar sound. His riffs are sometimes funky as with the Poets Of Rhythm or Syrup, or more psychedelic as with Karl Hector & The Malcouns or his many live and studio recordings with Embryo. The sound color of his guitar gives the album a thrust into the wonderful atmosphere of spacey jazz-kraut bands of the seventies. The concept of the album is the exact opposite of the previous Web Max album, with spontaneous, improvised pieces, fragments, ideas that mean the greatest possible liberty and live spirit. The idea of bringing JJ Whitefield on board was just as unpredictable and improvised. Roberto Di Gioia spontaneously called JJ and asked him if he could imagine playing on one or two songs. JJ immediately said yes, and a day later he was in the studio. They actually only played two songs: One lasted 25 minutes, the other 45 minutes. The tracks for Plexus Plexus were created over two days, recorded by Jan Krause (Beanfield) in Munich. The energetic live session lasted twice 10 hours, and everyone -- Roberto Di Gioia (Rhodes, Fender Precision Bass, Moog, Mellotron, percussion), Christian von Kaphengst (Fender Precision Bass, Rhodes), Peter Gall (drums, percussion, Fender Rhodes), Tony Lakatos (tenor saxophone, flute) -- was "on fire" to the core. The musicians switched instruments to create a completely different overall sound: Kaphengst on Fender Rhodes sounds different to Roberto, his playing has a different harmonic structure, and Roberto on bass is familiar from numerous Max Herre recordings, or from Till Brönner's album Till Brönner.
