This collaboration between Brian Eno and German synth pastoralists Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius (aka Cluster) is another recent reissue of Eno's work from around this time (see also the previous post of the Eno/Harmonia album).
The recording of this album was referenced in the recent BBC Krautrock documentary and the record has justifiably attained a semi-legendary status during the intervening years. I can really hear the seperate personalities of both Cluster and Eno, so it makes for a massive interesting listen as the two schools both clash and intertwine with delicious results.
As Moebius stated in the documenatry, "Eno came to learn from us, we did not go to learn from him". Well, quite. And in turn, Eno would teach Bowie these same moves for his next (and best) two albums.
Magnificent.
