Rother, Michael

P: 1975 / 2001
A masterpiece within early electronic music. You will enjoy pumping organs, together with long guitar effects. Sometimes monochromatic static backround lines will make you hypnotized!

In June 2020 Michael Rother packed the trunk of his car full, making sure to include a selection of his favorite instruments and other effects, and set out on a trip from Bevern-Forst, where he has lived on an old farm since 1973, spending a half a century writing momentous pieces of music history, at times solo, and at others in collaboration with other artists (Hans Joachim Roedelius, Dieter Moebius, Brian Eno et al.) His two-day drive took him to Pisa, but it was not a vacation. Rother will stay in Italy and live there with Italian music enthusiast Vittoria Maccabruni. The two musicians crossed paths back in 2005 while Rother was touring Italy with his friend Moebius. 15 years on, and now as a couple, they are embarking upon a remarkable musical partnership, utterly unpretentiously bringing together stark contrasts in As Long As the Light, challenging each other, blending and completing one another and creating undreamt-of forms via musical dialogue. These new perspectives shape the sound worlds they concoct and give rise to something unique.

Aside from his soundtrack work and a few remixes, Rother didn’t record until early 2020. As Germany entered lockdown amid the 2019 coronavirus pandemic. Rother, spurred on by his empty schedule, the quiet rhythms of isolation and the melancholy he felt at being away from his Italian partner, instead decided to construct a new album. The process was intense. There were scores of embryonic tracks from the Remember sessions to develop, to which his friend Thomas Beckmann had originally contributed some co-mixing and electronic beat, but Dreaming is very different to its predecessor. Crucially, Remember featured no guitar, while these new pieces are smothered in it: melodic lines harking back to Flammende Herzen, EBow drones reminiscent of Katzenmusik, crunchy rhythm parts that suggest Harmonia’s more experimental moments, and even a nod to Brian Eno on “Fierce Wind Blowing”.Most of the guitars on Dreaming were tracked in one pass, with Rother almost unconsciously composing the lines as he recorded.

This CD shows the interpretations of Rother about different cultures. His usual style with a lot of melody around synths sounds.

Here the last copy!

Artist: Michael Rother
P: 1981 / 1994
This is the last of his productions of the first phase. Guitar orientated, with warm synthesizer sounds and catchy melodies. Sounds often like Neu or Harmonia. Cool.

Digitally remastered reissue of 1976 solo album by this bassist/ guitarist/ keyboardist for Krautrock duo Neu & early member of electronic pioneers Kraftwerk. Includes all five cuts from the original release, plus two bonus tracks, 'Flammende Herzen' (1993) (Film Remix) & 'Vorbei' (1993) (Flammende Herzen - Chill Remix).
The' best album from Michael Rother, if there's such a thing as a perfect record then this one is damned near, it's got everything, Michael's multitracked emotional guitar, Jaki's metronomic drumming, solid keyboard work and nice effects. It's a great album, especially the title track and Zyklodrom.
Hypnotic, pulsating, drums like a drum machine, but played live by MrRobot, Can's Jaki Liebezeit.
