Roedelius
Aliases: Hans-Joachim Roedelius
Weites Land (LP)
'Wide country': Roedelius and Alexander Czjzek paint expansive, cinematic soundscapes. Synth, piano and open space combine in music of pastoral grandeur, meditative, melodic and gently widescreen.
Wasser im Wind
'Water in the wind': Roedelius conjures flowing, weightless keyboard music of great delicacy. Melodies drift and eddy like the title, serene, warm and quietly transporting. Solo kosmische at its most graceful.
The Diary Of The Unforgotten (Selbstportrait VI)
The sixth Selbstportrait, a musical diary. Roedelius revisits fragile keyboard improvisations, each a small remembered moment: intimate, melodic and deeply personal. The ongoing self-portrait of a kosmische master.
Tape Archive Essence 1973-1978
From the vaults: essential early tapes, 1973-78, from Cluster and Harmonia's melodic soul. Home experiments and sketches reveal Roedelius inventing his gentle electronic language in real time, a treasure for the devoted.
Piano Piano
Roedelius at the keyboard, alone and unguarded. 'Piano Piano' offers spare, melodic sketches of great intimacy: neoclassical in feeling, ambient in spirit. The quiet, human centre of a pioneering body of work.
Lustwandel
A stroll for pleasure. 'Lustwandel' gathers Roedelius's graceful piano-and-synth miniatures, tender, unhurried and quietly luminous, a proto-ambient forerunner of everything gentle in electronic music. Timeless kosmische calm.
Flieg Vogel Fliege
'Fly bird fly': Roedelius at his most songful and light. Gentle keyboard melodies flutter and loop with folk-like innocence, the warm, melodic heart of the Cluster co-founder's solo work. Radiant miniature music.
Durch Die Wüste (LP)
'Through the desert': Roedelius sets out on solitary electronic wandering. Spare, hypnotic keyboard figures and dry, shimmering textures conjure vast imaginary landscapes, early solo kosmische of quiet, questing beauty.
STUNDEN
A quiet meeting of minds. Roedelius and Schneider let delicate electronic and acoustic textures unfold over 'hours' of patient, meditative music: serene, spacious and gently kosmische throughout.
Offene Türen
'Open doors'. Roedelius invites the listener into gentle, exploratory keyboard pieces, half-composed and half-dreamed. Warm, unhurried and melodically generous, the Cluster co-founder in intimate, searching mood.
Momenti Felici
'Happy moments', and it sounds it. Roedelius spins fragile, looping keyboard miniatures of great warmth and melodic grace, the gentler, sunlit side of the Cluster and Harmonia mastermind. Quietly radiant kosmische ambience.
After The Heat
The second Eno, Moebius and Roedelius summit. Brian Eno joins the Cluster duo for luminous ambient sketches and vocal pieces of eerie beauty, a keystone where British art-pop meets German kosmische, from the classic Sky Records era.
