Bock, Wolfgang

Artist: Wolfgang Bock
P: 1980 / 2022
The electronic-musician Wolfgang Bock comes from the environment of Klaus Schulze and his debut "Cycles", released in 1980, is strongly influenced by him. The title track, which takes up the entire first side of the original vinyl edition, is still completely in the tradition of the Berlin School. Slowly wafting sound arcs and mystical mellotron choirs determine the opening of the track. After some time, the characteristic sequencer rhythm sets in, supplemented by real drums, and the track is taking up speed.

This is how new age was meant to sound. Actually, this album cant really be classified as new age. It interweaves itself between the electronic genres, sometimes ambient, sometimes active and uplifting, but never is there a song that can be skipped.
After just hearing the first tune, River Rye, you'll be hooked. Trancish beats mixed with spacey undertones makes this album a must have.

Wolfgang Bock's new studio album in the best tradition of the Berlin School.
A musical sign of life from the Klaus Schulze student for 26 years
The electronic musician Wolfgang Bock comes from Klaus Schulze's environment and his 1980 debut “Cycles” is not only heavily influenced by him and the Berlin School, Klaus Schulze also produced this debut. 2 years later, Bock released a maxi single with four tracks, Helicopter, under the pseudonym Paul Flieger, on which he experimented with the Neue Deutsche Welle and mixed the heaviness of the Berlin School with the lightness of the Düsseldorf School. Three more albums followed on Sky in the 1990s. Afterwards, Wolfgang Bock actively withdrew from the music scene, he dedicated himself more and more to his passion as a single-handed sailor, left Germany and moved to Spain. “Cycles” was re-released in 2022, and the media reacted euphorically to this re-release after 42 (!) years. Reason enough for Wolfgang Bock to go back into the studio and produce a new album with “Mintaka” after more than 26 years.
