Time Enough At Last: A Guide to Cluster Where to begin with the iconic German band behind "head music" as we know it.

For @bandcamp.com, I wrote about Cluster
(and Kluster and Harmonia and Brian Eno).

Peter Baumann Interview Source: The Tonearm. The former Tangerine Dream keyboardist discusses his friendship with Conrad Schnitzler, a man who proudly announced, "I'm not a musician, I just make noise," the serendipitous origins of 'Romance 76', and a Berlin underground he considers irretrievable.

@acloudtotheback.bsky.social notes that the new LP from @memorialsmusic.bsky.social is "[s]tretching the twosome’s multi-instrumentalist and sound design talents to the max ...piles an immensity of layers on and around its kaleidoscopic swirl of songs". #musicreview t.ly/r3mWE

"...as much a love letter to the band as it is a thoroughly researched and entertaining read.. an essential purchase for any @stereolabgroop.bsky.social fan, whether hard-core or more casual, because it is guaranteed that you will learn something new." #bookreview freq.org.uk/reviews/ben-...

@bunnyhausen.bsky.social interviewed "I ended up being part of that collective putting that night on, being one of their DJs and co-promoting it... We’d play everything there, from Can to Mouse on Mars to Autechre – it was very adventurous, but not kind of chin-stroke. It was still very hedonistic."

...continuing to approach the sound horizontally was the breakthrough he needed to bring the album to its inevitably longitudinal conclusion. Instead of a singular piece lasting an LP’s length, we are given the pleasure of listening through four variations of the soma-induced trance brought about by the brave new world of Synestopia

If you like hazy guitar improv, this is solid. Four lengthy crafted excursions dusted in a ghosting of late ’60s psychedelia and geologically pinned to a Neolithic underground burial complex in Malta.

Various - Krautrock Eruption is a compilation of artists that maybe seen on the periphery in some cases, but were equally as important to shaping the sounds of the era, and some even having a greater influence on the German underground music that followed than the bigger bands.
