Classic Krautrock reissue - originally released 1979
CLUSTER are
one of the most important protagonists of the electronic avant-garde.
Some credit them with having invented ambient music, others as pioneers
of synthesizer pop, whilst to some they are firmly embedded in the
Krautrock universe. There is some truth in all of these ideas. Although
CLUSTER
and “rock music” are seldom mentioned in the same breath, their early
works in particular are marked by a lack of structure and futuristic,
cold soundscapes typical of the Krautrock variation known as
“Kosmische”. “Großes Wasser” was CLUSTER’S fifth album as a duo. New
technology was deployed with an exactness designed to refine their (by
this time – these recordings are from 1978) sophisticated and fully
developed musical ideas. More than ever before in CLUSTER’S history,
acoustic elements can be heard, with the dulcet tones of the Paragon’s
Steinway grand piano taking centre stage. Electric bass, guitar,
percussion and voice are all embraced. Consequently, “Großes Wasser” is
anything but a solely electronic album. It is, however, one of those
rare LPs, whose musical substance transcends its own age, still not
sounding outdated. This is what really makes “Großes Wasser” so
special. “Großes Wasser” is the first in a series of 23 albums which
are to be reissued by Bureau B, comprehensively documenting the superb
electronic/ambient/krautrock history of the Hamburg label Sky Records
