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.

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.

Michael Rother (half of the influential Krautrock group Neu! and a founding member of Kraftwerk) recorded this, his third solo album with producer Conny Plank in 1979. Rother's signature multi-tracked guitar sound, synthesizer washes and the mechanical percussion (courtesy of Jaki Liebezeit from Can) make Katzenmusik a pioneering effort in the field of instrumental electronica. Essentially a suite in two parts, many consider this record to be Rother's opus. Remastered with new detailed liner notes.

The transition from NEU! to Harmonia was noticable, in that Harmonia was more melodic,whilst still retaining some of the hard percussion of NEU! Michael then progressed onto a solo career, making "Sterntaler". "Sterntaler" is a totally , guitar driven instrumental album. The top layer guitar is melodic, and has some hard edge to it in parts. However, what is really interesting, is the 2nd layer down of guitar harmonies. This layer is very fluid, and almost sings. Here, there a flanger effects, and chorus,and it really is very enjoyable to listen intently to this 2nd layer. The bass and drum section, keep the rythm tightly paced. If this album needed any style classification, class it as Ambient Rock. Michael, also recorded another three albums solo, which are in a simillar vein . "Flammende Herzen", being the closest to "Sterntaler" This album, will appeal to those who are into melodic rock, AOR,and like good guitar playing. If you like Steve Hillage / Hawkwind / Pink Floyd / Joe Satriani, etc, then this is for you.

Originally released in 1985, this was the former Kraftwerk,Neu! and Harmonia member's sixth solo CD. Best described as melodic ambient, with the two best tracks being the thirteen minute "Tiefenschärfe" which could be discribed as one of the earliest trance pieces ever and "Glitzerglanz"(nice keyboard work),plus the two '94 added bonus cuts aren't bad either.
