Artist: Peter Mergener P: 2023 Peter Mergener, known since the 80s for his IC releases under the name "Software", celebrates a small comeback with "New Horizons" and presents a first-class Berlin school album in the old Software style. After Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, Mergener was the "next generation" of the Berlin School and enjoyed great popularity with "Electronic Universe" and "Phancyful Fire". After numerous stylistically different publications on different labels, Peter has recently become quieter. All the more gratifying that Peter used the time to produce a first-class electronic album again. Harmonious choir pads create a deep atmosphere from which hypnotic sequences gradually emerge, condense and build up to a top Berlin School title. A diverse, homogenous album has emerged, compositionally flowing with sensitivity, incorporating stylistic elements of Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dreams and also Atmos, which are known from software. Great for dreaming and drifting away. Here the last copy!
Artist: Peter Mergener P: 1997 This CD from 1997 features 66 minutes of exciting electronic music. This music was recorded live at KLEM Dag 1996 in Nijmegen. Joining Mergener on-stage are: Carsten Schnell on keyboards and violin, Ingo von Wenzlawowicz on drums and percussion, and Achim Elsen on guitar. Majestic melodies spill forth with enthusiastic verve. Demonstrative keyboards establish a solid foundation of exuberant chords that twirl and mesh with determined percussion, glorious guitar, and stylish violin. Heavenly airs punctuate these dynamic harmonics, giving the audience celestial respite before the concert launches into its next stage of over-abundant sonic reward. Clever hooks are employed with calculated abandon, resulting in never a dull moment. Application of rock guitar lends the astral flow an earthy tether, reminding the listener of mortal origins that are easily forgotten from the lofty heights achieved by this music. Comparisons could be drawn to Pink Floyd, except that Floyd never indulged in such truly cosmic territories in their music. Mergener's accomplishment is riddled with emphatic ambience of a sort that defies sedation, evoking instead wide-eyed wonder and breath-taking moods.
