This is a startling icy futuristic composition originally released on private tape in 1974. The twenty minute piece builds from cold pulsating snares that become very hypnotic and then huge waves of cascading synthesizer. I guess it's fairly minimal in terms of its component parts but the overall effect and attention to detail is magnificent. For more contemporary comparisons I'd say it's like a cross between Hecker, Richie Hawtin and Pete Namlook. Flip the record for a couple of remixes, the first of which is by Pole. In his capable hands the reshape takes on new life as a shuffling metallic head nodder with deep late night listening potential. Finally a remix from borngräber and strüverborngräber has a slow stomping kick that reminds me of Daft Punk's 'Da Funk'. Over its 10:32min duration it builds into a fairly brooding and sleazy techno track that could have come out of Belgium in 1989. All three tracks are winners!
m=minimal are proud to have "Conrad Schnitzler's – Zug“ as their first release.
Schnitzler's Zug is one of the most important and first electronic minimalist works that were published in the 70s. Almost simultaneously with Kraftwerk's groundbreaking "Autobahn", Zug appeared on the legendary "the red cassette”.
The Wire Magazine wrote about Zug: "three decades on, it still sounds the future"
The release is rounded off with a remix of Con-Fan Stefan Betke aka Pole. Pole and Kassian Troyer (Radian) have mastered the record, best quality is guaranteed. Another remix is contributed by "borngräber and strüver“.
Conrad Schnitzler - The original member of Tangerine Dream and a founding member of Kluster is creator of milestones in the history of electronic popular music.
