"From his beginnings in the 1960s Irmin has done film and TV soundtracks, together with Can and also on his own. His first solo album is a collection of at the time recent soundtracks ("Filmmusik") covering the films Im Herzen des Hurricans, Messer im Kopf, und Der Tote Bin Ich. The album is fully instrumental. Much of this album follows a soundtrack logic and supports the film in the first place, without the original intention to have a life on its own. Some of the tracks are quite repetitive (which is typical for non-autonomous soundtrack music), however the three scores are quite different from each other, so Irmin already shows the broad range of his composition, styles, and influences here. Im Herzen des Hurrican is enjoyable if not all too exciting melodic rock music, and we get Can's Michael Karoli on guitar playing two great soli. In Der Tote Bin Ich Irmin plays with Swiss saxophonist Bruno Spoerri; Irmin's keyboard work is very minimalist and Spoerri plays dreamy solos. Atmosphere-wise these are the tracks I like most. Das Messer im Kopf is done by Irmin on its own and shows some typical chord sequences that would turn out to be quite characteristic in his later work.
