I literally have not heard this Gamma album for 35 years. Yet it is amazing how I remember some of the songs. Of course it is very '80s and does sound dated, particularly on the vocal front. But there are some excellent hooks, decent electric guitar from founder Ronnie Montrose, and interesting synth embellishment with even some ELO like vocoder! On some of the more pumping bass tracks they ...

Eddy Bamyasi September 08, 2019 19, cluster, harmonia

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 ...

Log #131 - A Cluster Of Faustian Harmonia

Eddy Bamyasi March 31, 2019 19, band of horses, cluster, father john misty, faust, harmonia, pink floyd

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 ...
