A colossal and epic post-ambient symphony in three movements, where echoes of string instruments, deep drones of indecipherable origin, layered synthetic waves, slowed-down and distorted dark sonic masses challenge time with a para-immobility in …

A record-shop memoir in sound from Two-Piers, moving between ambient, balearic and dub: Brian Eno with Moebius and Roedelius, Kuniyuki Takahashi, The Durutti Column, Meat Beat Manifesto, Daniel Avery and Spectrum.
Acid, but tender. Tin Man coaxes emotion from the 303, letting soft-focus melody and deep, humming pulse blur techno and ambience. 'Arles' is warm, hypnotic and unmistakably his: melancholy dancefloor minimalism.
Estonian electronic pioneer Sven Grünberg reaches for the cosmos. 'Hingus' fuses shimmering synthesis with Eastern spiritual leanings: meditative, melodic and quietly euphoric. A Soviet-era kosmische treasure surfaced at last.
'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.
'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 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.
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.
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.
