Love that DIE (b)ENGEL DES HERRN is a dead end. Still looking for a physical copy of that one that I can afford.

Sowiesoso is neck and neck with deluxe for me, probably my two favorite German records

they're all something
CLUSTER / Moebius & Roedelius solo & group recordings 1970-1986 poll
+ three archivals released since 2011. and it's arbitrary to leave 'Ludwig's Law' & 'En Route' off the list since they were recorded 1983 / 1986
Cluster - Konzerte 1972-1977 (2017)Roedelius - Tape Archive 1973-1978 (2014)Moebius / Plank / Steffen - Live in Mexico 1986 (2013)

Pleased with these results, though I expected it to be closer.

It's great there's 53 of us with an opinion!
I reviewed the Live 1974 album again - I like it but it doesn't burrow into my brain like the rest of their work.
I have Roedelius - Selbsportrait I coming in the mail soon and am working my way through all his Sky albums.

A friend made a very tender short film, John Was Trying to Contact Aliens, which has just gone up on Netflix. Harmonia feature in a sehr, sehr komisch way. Check it out!

I think I always preferred Deluxe, but for no particular reason.

Deluxe. About half of the first album gets on my nerves for some reason.

Despite the fact that I like Kluster/Cluster and Neu!

Forever and always. Deluxe is great too though

something I love about Musik Von is it's got such an embryotic nature to it. reminds me of some of those early James Ferraro albums where it's like the greatest music you've ever heard is playing through a wall somewhere. "Sehr Kosmisch" is definitely one of those, especially the second half where this proto-techno beat starts to come in. and then "Sonnenschein" which is like a Teletubby war march. it's all great but I think the reason I prefer Deluxe is the track "Ohrwurm" which I think is a bit of a bore. also "Hausmuzik"...it's pretty but doesn't add anything, exactly. do love "Ahoi!" though, especially the last minute
now to track down that 1974 live album!!

74 Live is incredible, feels incredibly fresh every time i play it.
