Reino #2

The cover of Reino Band 2 sets a wonderfully offbeat tone: a pale blue van goes airborne on a rural road while two passengers ride inside and a third clings dramatically to the roof — all beneath the sweeping shadow of a great black falcon stretching across a golden sky. Burkhard Ihme's clean, unhurried line work gives this chase-tinged moment a charming, almost deadpan energy that feels distinctly European. "Im Schatten des Schwarzen Falken" promises adventure with a wry smile, and this 1982 release from Buch Musik & Film Verlag is a fine showcase of Ihme's solo craftsmanship across every creative role.
