There are four versions of it – one 14 minutes long – on the Tape Archives release Bureau B put out a few years ago.

Hey hey, now, Michael Rother has at least *three* tracks:
-there's the fast, driving motorik one that feels like flying-there's the soft, ambient, pretty one that feels like floating-there's the slow, stately, majestic but anthemic one with the awesome guitar riff

It was meant as an appreciation! But yeah that's probably fair

The new album is really lovely. But vaguely suspicious I'll binge a few more times and then - to pursue the rive metaphor - it'll float on by.

This watery talk reminds me that there's a River Rother in Sussex (flows down from the Weald past Bodiam Castle and into the sea at Rye). Could do some nice walks along it just listening to Michael

Hallogallouse is probably betterer but it's a tough call.

can confirm Mr Rother was definitely amused when he was driven past the River Rother when he played ATP in camber sands... there may even be a photo of him next to a road sign.

this is awfully pretty. I think I gave up around Fernwarme and now I'm wondering if I missed something.

I picked up the Solo ll box a week ago, and have listened to pretty much nothing else since. I try not to let reviews affect my personal engagement of music, but they frequently do. Not this time, though.

This is very pretty and melodic and everything you expect but texturally it's an absolute marvel, both on speakers and on headphones there's an incredibly tactile element to the production, you can feel every sound.

I keep coming back to this. There's something about its late 90s post-club comedown feel that's answering a need right now.

'Hey-Hey' is pure Hebden/Beth Orton.

_this is awfully pretty. I think I gave up around Fernwarme and now I'm wondering if I missed something._Same here. I made a playlist🕸 of the tracks from _Solo II_that were singled out in the Pitchfork review 🕸and have enjoyed it quite a bit!
