Greatest albums of the latter 20th century
NONLOCAL | Brooklyn, NY USA | 01/09/2006

"This one is near the top in my humble opinion. A more perfect collaboration is hard to imagine - the combination of the cascading guitars of Neu! with the minimal electronic explorations of Cluster produce a brilliant sum that is far greater than its individual elements. Drone, drama, intensity, repitition, beauty, all instrumental. Groundbreaking composition that hardly anyone even knows about, and gosh darn it they should!"
Beautiful Kosmisch Music

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Lots of rhythmic pulsing, gyrating tones ping ponged on analog recorders, sounds of synth, guitar, and synthetic percussion.

Along the lines of early Popul vuh, and later Manual Gottsching (though without the compelling and astonishing guitar lead work).



This material, and others like it, (these fellows were from Cluster and Neu!) laid the foundations of what would be come "new wave" and electronica 10-20 years later.



Though, these early bands appreciated a primitiveness to the sound that gives them a kind of authenticity that was lost later on.

It's not all rhythmic dance club mix such and such, it's also noise scapes and other interesting artifacts.

Enjoy!
