The first studio recording Harmonic Decadence now rediscovered in full length on D.MO Vol.4
Since the release of Robert's official debut album Harmonic Ascendant the world of the EM community has discussed rumours about a recording called Harmonic Decadence. Before the first official Vinyl-LP-Release (IC / WEA), Robert started his first studio recording in the same recording studio Panne-Paulssen (Frankfurt/Main) in 1978, where also numerous European artists such as Klaus Schulze, Ashra /Manuel Göttsching and Harald Großkopf have recorded their works.  However, these first recording of Schroeder was rejected by the WEA because it was too "electronic". At first, the debut album should also be named Harmonic Decadence. After refusing this first recording of 1978, Schroeder went back to the studio, where the well-known debut album Harmonic Ascendant arose. In the meantime the first recording Harmonic Decadence was somehow forgotten. Some extracts have also been used occasionally, e.g. within the INKEYS interview from the early 80s. But the complete work of this first recording has been published never before. The tapes went lost in the depths of the tape archives over the time.   The demand for these recordings is still great. In the year 2017 Robert searched through his archive ... and found the old original recordings as a master copy on a high quality music cassette. The sound is not up to date due to its age but has its charme and now been re-mastered. And of course this material is something what the fans are waiting for. 
In the context of the D.MO-series (old unreleased recordings of the artist), the original version of Harmonic Decadence will be released in full length on CD at Spheric Music.   A delight for lovers of Electronic Music of the late 70s. Have much fun.

D. MO is the abbreviation for DEMO. The music consists of unreleased archive material from the past, from 1979 to the 1990s. It's always music that didn't really fit on Robert's planned albums. These often include beautiful tracks that have simply been left in the archive - but are far too good not to be released. The D. MO series was created from such pieces and has already filled five CD albums.
The first CD in this series, "D. MO Vol. 1", was released by Jörg Strawe on CUE-records in 1998. Robert Schroeder continued his D. MO series in 2008.

DRIFTIN' offers a successful and interesting combination of meditation, dance rhythmics and earwigs. While a good 50% of the repertoire exists of shorter titles and more the friends of the commercial sounds speaks in, the lovers of the "marathon electronics tracks" with ELEMENTS on no account come too briefly.

Esthétique, the No.25 of the German artist Robert Schroeder (active since 1978) features sensitive and aesthetic Electronic Music of the particular class.
The power of this music captures you, draws you into the spell, you have inevitably to listen to, you will dive, you discover, you enjoy ... It's not just the exciting intros of the songs that fascinate you, but also the spacey surfaces, the circling stereo sounds, or the beauty of the Schroeder-typical melodies, which make the music on Esthétique so aesthetic. Sequencer and analogue sounds are always a matter of course for Schroeder, but always wrapped up in groovy and modern rhythms and with highly diverse arrangements. More new events in the music of Esthétique guarantee plenty of variety and surprise.
Particularly title-2 "Evaluation of Time" shines with its length of almost 15 minutes through a very sensitive, romantic and sonically impressive production. Flattering easy guitar melodies take you into the wide world of fantasies and dreams.
Of course there is also "Oscillation" on the CD. Robert already has presented this new track on his concert at the Planetarium Bochum for the “Schallwelle” Award in March 2011 for the first time. The audience was thrilled.

Robert Schroeder has always great sounds. Each of his last releases has an extraordinary space sound. As well this time this sound is combined with unusual impressive timbres. On Fata Morgana Robert takes us on a cosmic journey in the regions of illusions. We hear dreamy and supernormal sounds: sometimes chirping, sometimes imploding, sometimes bizarre, sometimes sensitive, sometimes sweeping. Choirs, percussive cymbals and toms, vocal effects, an electric guitar and pearling sequences are embedded in this wonderful dream cosmos. And Robert takes his time to let these sounds develop and breathe. At least for the duration of this album your Fata Morgana is put into your music room. Dream and be filled with wonder!
