Eddy Bamyasi July 12, 2020 , , ,
Cluster - Grosses Wasser Cluster - Zuckerzeit Loscil - Lifelike Alva Noto - Unieqav Alva Noto - Transform Porya Hatami - Shallow Interesting minimalist art graces Cluster's Grosses Wasser album cover. Is it a diving board or an aeroplane wing? The title translates as Big Water, suggesting it could equally show the ocean under an ...

Log #181 - A Lift To The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads

Eddy Bamyasi March 15, 2020 , , , ,
Why have I not heard this stupendous album before? Loving the The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads album from Lift To Experience and I've only played the first half. Fronted up by Josh T Pearson I was vaguely aware of his original band but had never heard this, their only album.  This is the story of three Texas boys busy mindin' their own business when the Angel of the Lord appeared ...

Log #154 - Eno's Forst Years

Eddy Bamyasi September 08, 2019 , ,
A big fan of both Cluster and Harmonia (the latter a short lived "supergroup" being the Cluster duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius plus Neu! guitarist Michael Rother) Brian Eno collaborated with both groups in the mid 70s, co-recording 3 albums. Tracks and Traces was actually the first recorded in 1976 (just before Eno began work on Bowie's Berlin albums) but oddly not released ...

Kosmische innovators’ influential debut - Cluster I / 71 reviewed

Eddy Bamyasi August 22, 2019 ,
Monolithic particle generators emit insect chat to the skies, while adjacent cloud territories lie pregnant with oscillating womb throb. Welcome to the sound of Berlin 1971: transcendental proto-techno conjured by Dieter Moebius, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Conny Plank (who’d only be on board for this album). Moebius and Roedelius had previously fussed up a discordant industrial clatter with Conrad ...

Log #131 - A Cluster Of Faustian Harmonia

Eddy Bamyasi March 31, 2019 , , , , , ,
I've considered myself a relatively knowledgeable fan of Krautrock for many years - ever since I stumbled across my first Can album in a second hand store in Chichester one school lunch hour nearly 40 years ago (it was the spanner in the sky one which was how it was known, or aka simply Can, or Inner Space) (it was an interesting record pretty unlike anything else I had in my collection at the ...
