WUCAN are a young heavy retro rock band from Dresden, Germany with deep roots in the late 60s and early seventies with a dash of blues, folk, progressive and Kraut rock. This sort of time-warp music is covering the gamut from the Woodstock generation to the modern rock sound, starting with acoustic guitar, traverse flute and Hammond organ and ending at the modern rock sound of the heavy kind. However WUCAN does not imitate any artist but has developed its own individuality fitting somewhere between then and now. The band has always been able to create their own style despite their influences such as Jethro Tull, Renft, Lucifer's Friend, Birth Control and Krautrock in general. WUCAN presents changing hymns, from jamming passages to metal riffs with flutes doubled and the complete range of 70s folk rock to classical hard rock. andersmann' is a 16-minute song filled with psychedelic splashes of color and the just named influences. It is also the only song on the album sung in German. Even the powerful opener ather Storm,' the reefy and hard wl Eyes' and the melodicing Korea' bring a bright bouquet of 70s flashbacks.

Description
[Machine Translation] This is the debut album by WUCAN, a hard rock band from Dresden, Germany, featuring a female singer, Frances, who plays the flute and theremin. WUCAN was born in Dresden, a city surrounded by the Elbe River and forests, near the border with the Czech Republic and known as the birthplace of many of the works of the great composer Wagner. WUCAN is a hard rock band that plays music strongly influenced by the 60's and 70's style of brottish hard rock/krautrock/psychedelic music. The band's sound is organic and primitive, with a muffled atmosphere reminiscent of that era's cloudy skies, and they make full use of instruments such as flutes, theremins, and Moog synthesizers, and stick to analog recordings. The band debuted as the brainchild of Carl Waterback, founder of Noise Records.
Special Feature / Bonus Track: four bonus tracks from the EP "Vikarma"

ソウ・ザ・ウィンド / WUCAN
フルート、テルミンを操る女性シンガー、フランシスを擁する、ドイツはドレスデン出身のハードロック・バンド「WUCAN」によるデビュー・アルバム。チェコとの国境付近に位置、偉大な作曲家ワグナーが数多くの作品を生み出した地として知られ、エルベ川と森に囲まれた街ドレスデンにて生を受けたWUCANは、JETHRO TULL、FOCUS、AFFINITY、AMON DUUL II、BIRTH CONTROLLといった60、70年代スタイルのブロティッシュ・ハードロック/クラウト・ロック/サイケデリック・ミュージックから強く影響を受けた音楽をプレイするハードロック・バンド。曇り空を思わせるあの時代のくぐもった雰囲気を湛えた彼らのサウンドは、フルート、テルミン、ムーグ・シンセサイザーといった楽器も駆使した、あくまでアナログ録音にこだわった有機的でプリミティヴなもの。「Noise Records」の創設者カール・ウォーターバックの肝いりとしてデビュー。
ボーナス・トラック: 自主制作EP「Vikarma」からの楽曲を4曲追加収録
