Dieter Moebius - 'Blotch' (Scatch Records)

(4 out of 5 stars)
"Good late '90's solo effort by this one-time member of such krautrock ensembles Kluster, (later to become Cluster), Harmonia and Moebius & Roedelius. More in the electronic direction than, say kraut or experimental. Possibly too out-there for some, but still a worthy pick. Tunes that had me sit up and take notice were the inventive "Meltaway", "The Tracker" and the 12-minute fantastically tripping "Im Raum" (worth the admission price alone). A should-have."
More originality from an originator

"It's hard to imagine life without the wonderful exploits of Dieter Moebius. He gives humour and style (and more than a little warmth) to a genre that is characterized by its sterility and coldness. Electronic music need not be so, and praise be to Moebius for showing us. His music has always been kind of comical, with funny little bleeps and blurts, quirky and quizical. Childlike, in a way. Obviously, not all of his work is like that. He can do some blindingly non-musical stuff, but that is why we love him in the first place. He takes chances that other musicians quite simply would not. "Blotch" doesn't break new ground for Moebius, the artist, but that is not a bad thing at all. It's great to hear him do what he does best, and that is create this humourous, quirky and quite personal music with his feet firmly planted on the soil."
I can't stop listening!

"Moebius has made a very infectious cd with this release. I found myself listening to this disc over and over. Other treats would be Tim Story's contribution to 'Balistory'. Highly recommend."
