First 1997 CD re-issue on Plate Lunch of the wild electronic first album from 1973 former Tangerine Dream / Kluster memember and one of the most peculiar and adventurous electronic explorers of the German scene.
condition (disc/cover): NM / NM
Conrad Schnitzler studied under Joseph Beuys, founded Berlin's Zodiak Free Arts Lab, and passed through both the first Tangerine Dream and Kluster before going his own relentless way. Rot (1973), the "red" album, was his first solo LP, self-released because no label would touch it, and it remains one of the boldest electronic records of its moment: two side-long pieces of writhing tape and synthesizer, one of them pointedly titled Krautrock, the same wry joke Faust made at around the same time.
Cold and abrasive, closer to Morton Subotnick than to anything cosmic. This is the Plate Lunch CD edition of a genuine landmark of the German avant-garde.
