After a 30-odd year hiatus, the BRO imprint made a brief re-appearance via Eremite in Western Mass. Just in time to revisit this duo of the herculean fire-breathing German and his arm-windmilling Dutchman pal. First time in umpteen years they'd played together. While they're certainly properly propulsive & the textures are ripping, the power of the record all comes when they cram their explosive natures into the contraints of a melody, however roughshod.
