Realized a few months ago that my copy of Cluster '71 cannot be found. This is crazy because I am not one to lose CD's. The only thing I can figure is I must have sold it, but I can't imagine why.

I don't know why I have this memory. The album was listed as Roedelius but he was working with one other person.

Roedelius Works 1968 - 2005: Limited and Numbered Copies Hits The Shelves!
A number of limited edition Roedelius Works hit the shops today, a week before its standard release. The impressive package that is comprised entirely out of the foil material that is used to package fresh Salmon (we kid you not!) contains two CD’s that document the highlights of an illustrious musical career.
From being a founding member of Kluster in 1969 who’s eponymous debut pioneered the brick-a-brack approach to electronic music to working with a long list of impressive collaborators such as Holger Czukay (Can), Conrad Plank (Krautrock producer extraordinaire) and forming Cluster by adding luminaries such as Brian Eno and Michael Rother (NEU!) to the ranks. Hans Joachim Roedelius overall impact on many a musical genre is immense and he has often been credited as one of the ubermeiesters of what has affectionately known as Krautrock.
Works is the definitive Roedelius collection avalailable now for the first time and featuring music spanning five decades. We have a limited number of CD’s available through our own little retail outlet… all of which have their own unique number. So if your not in the position to trawl thorugh the more independent record shops... get clicking and we’ll send you one in the post while stocks last.

and this peaks interest:
5. Roedelius – Human Being/Excerpt (Live Im Zodiak, 1968)
Haven't been too taken with most Roedelius of the last 15 years that I've heard. But the BBC had that stream of his Cut And Splice concert with Bayle earlier this year, and after he faded down that clunky beat and things got abstract & collaged -- it was _great_, I would buy a record of that in a heartbeat.

1. cluster/eno live metz 77, 29:542/3. cluster/farnbauer, live vienna 80, 16:00 / 15:09
the last two tracks are taken directly from the two bonus tracks at the end of the Kluster reissues (if anyone has a copy of the entire tape, please drop me a line). the Cluster/Eno gig is a hissy cassette transfer of a room recording, but the music is one long throbbing drone piece, closer to Cluster II than their late 70's albums, good to know and I'll probably listen to it more than twice.

Following up the Water reissues, Captain Trips is doing limited editions of some of the Moebius this month -- Rastakraut Pasta, Material, Zero Set, Tonspuren & Blue Moon. Blue Moon is the only one of those that isn't a straight-up classic, and even that one has a few tracks I can't live without.

I picked up Moebius' new album Nurton a few months ago. He's definitely trying harder than he was on the last one Blotch -- feels more composed & layered. this structurally sounds the most like Tonspuren than anything since (short motorik pieces built out of weird sounds and riffs) but I still prefer his earlier synth sounds to the all-digital palette he's been working with since 1996 -- plenty of quirky noises, but they just don't sound as elliptical and abstract as the analog days. Still, since most of his other solos & groups since 1996 have been mostly long improvisation jam-band records, I'm happy about Nurton and my favorite couple of tracks are towards the end.

german blogger babelfished on the Paris show this month:
I left myself mental ever more deeply down-slide into the labyrinth from tones and fantasies and horchte up only if a piece were times terminated and the applause of the public a break formed. Occasionally I used also the opportunity to take in or other photo. Pieces of "sugar time" I recognized by the way none, however no miracle, becausethe set consisted to the majority of new, yet veroeffentlchten pieces...
During well the 70-minuetigen of concert I did not bore myself a second, despite the kontemplativen character of the music. In the opposite, I found that high-inspiring and excitingly all. I believe it to the other spectators also very well fell, her donated long lasting applause. Moebius and Roedelius gave themselves the hand briefly and thank you scarcely in national language: "Merci!, Merci beaucoup ".

Roedelius is coming to the US in October. I don't see any other shows scheduled besides two in Big Sur, which I can make, but seeing as he and Moebius seem to be playing together again, it seems like one extra plane ticket for Moebius is all it would take for a handful of US Cluster appearences, so I sure hope some electronic-music-loving promoter has enough of their business together to make something happen soon

All 3 Kluster (Schnitzler, Roedelius, Moebius) albums - 'Klopfzeichen', 'Zwei Osterei', and 'Schwarz' are fantastic.
I take issue with the characterization of Zwei Osterei as fantastic - unless your definition of fantastic encompasses side-long tracks of a monotonous male voice intoning in German with faint buzzy electronic sounds in the background.
― o. nate, Thursday, 30 August 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
the speaker isnt monotonous at all! hes just very, very serious, which, given the nonsensical cut-up sermon hes reading, is funny as hell.
― ☪, Thursday, 30 August 2007 17:37 (sixteen years ago) link
you'd think those Cluster/Eno collabs. would be great. but they aren't. dry and boring compared w/ Cluster lps.

Unfortunately, not being a German speaker, the comedy is lost on me.

the Kluster records aren't the most inviting or accessible, but I think they're really effective for what they are, and with every passing year of recent noise / drone shows and CDRs they sound better and better. when I started hearing Yellow Swans drone records, the Kluster CDs are the first things I thought of. Eruption is the one without recitations if you find the vocals too distracting.

tour pushed to spring
in other old news that I missed --
moebius & neumeier 'zero set II' -- http://www.cisco-records.co.jp/html/item/002/114/item241559.html
I read somewhere that this was a japanese reissue of 2003's 'live in japan', which I haven't returned to much, but it's a new album and the samples sound promising
I've also been playing moebius' 'nurton' from last year and it is definitely a grower

um wtf is up with that 6CD box set on Captain Trip, is that stuff legit? looks like it was also released as separate discs.

I love the Eno/Cluster stuff, but that's the only Cluster I've heard. I need to go out and get some more...

Milton, where did you get that tour info news? Does that regard the entire tour or just the North American dates?
