on their fourth album, the cluster duo of dieter moebius and hans-joachim roedelius fall into an amazing & quite mellow space that lasts for the entire record ... my favorite of their “later” records...
water press release...
moebius and roedelius, a.k.a. cluster, released this album in 1976. while some tracks have early electronic percussion and others are beatless, the album is overall melodic and atmospheric. the blend of electronic rhythms and quirky bubbly sounds combined with piano and a few bits of guitar here and there is pure bliss.

after the heat
cd
water162

brian eno's second album collaboration with dieter moebius and hans-joachim roedelius of cluster consists of slow-moving instrumentals full of repeated synthesizer sound patterns and sustained guitar notes in the ambient style familiar from eno's collaborations with robert fripp and albums of his own, such as discreet music.

one song, “broken head,” features recited vocals by eno, and on another, “the belldog,” he sings. on “tzima n'arki,” his vocal is turned backwards.

cluster “cluster (aka ‘71)” compact disc

  • 15:33
  • 7:38
  • 21:17
gorgeous reissue of this classic krautrock/electro-acoustic improv set; the debut album by the duo of dieter moebius and hans joachim roedelius as “c” cluster (as opposed to “k” kluster; moebius, roedelius, and conrad schnitzler...)

in the entire krautrock canon; i will place the first two cluster albums (alongside the first two harmonia albums) at the top of my smokestack. this sounds uncannily like any number of contemporary guitar/electronic noise-drone artists; yet it was made 35 years ago, way before this sort of thing was an acceptable musical avenue, way before anyone even had a convenient name like “drone” to place onto it...

cluster 71
cd
water160

on the outer edge of german space rock, cluster '71 stands as a testament to minimalist 'cosmische' music. the three untitled tracks composed and performed by moebius and roedelius are exploratory, ever-changing pieces with focuses on guitar distortion and synthesizer wails, though each goes far beyond. this album deserves the many accolades it's been given, and holds up as an early landmark in the history of beatless ambience....

moebius: organ, hawaiian guitar, audio-generator, amplifier
roedelius: organ, cello, audio-generator, amplifier and helias

all songs by moebius, roedelius & plank
produced by cluster & conny plank
engineered by conny plank
recorded at star musik-studios in hamburg, january 1971

cluster & eno
cd
water156

originally recorded and released in 1977, this pioneer ambient music album brough together several legends of progressive electronic music; brian eno, solo artist and collaborator with david bowie, robert fripp, and roxy music; dieter moebius and hans-joachim roedelius, both of whom had made dozens of ground-breaking recordings throughout the 70’s.

this album was the first of several celebrated collaborations between these artists, whose influence looms over many current artists such as radiohead, aphex twin, massive attack, and tortoise.

well-done treatment of this 1967 moog-psych classic featuring paul beaver & mort garson ...
water press release...
this collectively-hatched concept album (originally released by elektra in 1967) matched psychedelic mood music with spoken prose and all manner of percussive, exotic and electronic instrumentation. divided into 12 separate tracks, one for each astrological sign, this 'celestial counterpoint with words and music' (as the subtitle boasted) 'must be played in the dark' (as the back sleeve instructed in capital purple letters).

the album, conceived by elektra founder and president jac holzman, was produced by alex hassilev. and while cyrus faryar deep-voiced the spoken astrological narrative written by jacques wilson, mort garson assembled the group of musicians including paul beaver and percussionist emil richards. its spacy yet tight groove could have fit the zodiac tracks into the soundtrack of 1966 sunset strip documentaries but, in other respects, the album was futuristic, embellished by some of the first moog synthesizer ever heard on a commercial recording, an assortment of exotic percussive instruments and sitar.

the arrangements were further decorated by haunting harpsichord and organ, along with standard mid-1960s los angeles rock guitar licks. the cover, complete with psychedelic illustration of the twelve signs set on a black background with hand drawn groovy letters, was eye-catching even by elektra's own high standards. available on cd for the first time.
