| | Cluster Zuckerzeit CD - Import Cluster Discography of CDs
This is a French import reissue of the synth-heavy Krautrock pioneers' excellent 1974 album ZUCKERZEIT.
Cluster's third album, ZUCKERZEIT, roughly translated to "sugar era" is made up of ten songs, five each by Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Mobius (the pair previously recorded as a trio with Conrad Schnitzler under the name Kluster). Built around percolating analog rhythms, lovely surging synth lines, and effervescent melodies that sporadically pop up from beneath the layers of dusty electronics, ZUCKERZEIT is the soundtrack to a playful drive through a post-modern German countryside, and stands in marked contrast to the chilling noisescapes of the two previous Cluster offerings. Originally released in 1974 on the famed German prog label Brain, the album was reissued on SPV in 2007.
French pressing in a digipak. This album came as quite a surprise to fans of Cluster's early ambient soundscape or industrial experiments. Suddenly their music became more joyful, funny, melodic and all in all more accessible. This album consists of ten pieces of music that are driven forward by a primitive drum machine, synthesizers and different traditional instruments. Spalax. 2002.

Purchase Zuckerzeit CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Cluster II CD (1972) (Import) France
Zuckerzeit
 $23.65 
This 1972 release from German pyschedelic rock band Cluster includes "Plas" and "Im Suden."
If the triumph of the psychedelic explosion in the 1960s was to upend the traditional relationship between listener and entertainer--i.e., experiencing music became not about following a strict melody and chord structure but about the physical exhilaration of sound itself--then ambient electronic music fulfilled that destiny best. In the early '70s, electronic music had nebulous boundaries, and no one epitomized the nexus between Krautrock, psychedelia, Stockhausen, and space rock more than Kluster and its offshoot project, Cluster.
Cluster, the duo of Dieter Mobius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius, formed after Conrad Schnitzler left Kluster, the pioneering German space rock trio. CLUSTER II, their second studio outing, is a classic of proto-ambient music. The album's six tracks ooze and continually ...
| | White Noise An Electric Storm CD (1969) Import
Zuckerzeit
$15.89 
The debut White Noise album featured Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson, who had worked for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and David Vorhaus, who had studied classical orchestral bass playing and electronics. The instrumentation consisted of early electronic instruments and a huge amount of tape manipulation, the standard techniques of the Workshop in those days. The album originally released by Island Records in 1969 only emerged on CD - in a "matrix mixed" format - as late as 1996, again on Island, but was rapidly deleted. Island. 2004.
An Electric Storm is justly renowned among techno boffins as one of the first albums to fuse pop and electronic music before the advent of the Moog synthesizer. But you don't have to be versed in the language of sine waves and oscillators to enjoy this mostly delightful and hugely inventive album. For although the White Noise were almost exclusively composed of virtuoso knob twiddlers and tape splicers moonlighting from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, luckily they were no slouches when it came to penning a decent tune. There's also anarchic humor at play on the manic "Here Come the ...
| | Blackfoot Highway Song: Live CD (1982)
Zuckerzeit
$10.49  
Like their Native American ancestors before them, the members of Blackfoot must have known what it felt like to be exiled from their homeland. Only, rather than being forced into an Indian reservation, the world's first all-Native American hard rock band found itself trying to scrape together a good wage across the pond, where U.K. audiences couldn't seem to get enough of its uniquely metallic, Skynyrd-derived Southern rock. Despite experiencing diminishing returns in the good ol' U.S. of A., all three of their studio albums for Atco had been warmly embraced here, leading to nearly two years of incessant touring. Such acclaim eventually led to demands for a live album, which the band duly recorded with the help of the Rolling Stones' mobile studio during a three-month jaunt across the British Isles in 1982. Named Highway Song Live after the band's biggest (and most "Freebird"-like) hit, it was recorded in the spirit of the classic live albums of the '70s, with explosive performances of such Blackfoot favorites as "Road Fever," "Every Man Should ...

| | Cluster & Eno CD (1977)
Zuckerzeit
$13.79
While Brian Eno's solo music in the '70s--arguably the decade's greatest musical achievement--deftly combined the innovative sonics of the ambient and experimental communities with his own hummable pop sensibilities, he kept a steady stream of collaborators to prune each side of this dichotomy. CLUSTER & ENO--his collaboration with German ambient pioneers Cluster--acts as the foil for his more pop-oriented work with the likes of David Bowie and Roxy Music, as the duo pushed him further into the exhilaration of pure sound divorced from pop structures. The collaboration worked both ways, however, as Eno's song sense keeps the layers perpetually shifting and changing, and pushed Cluster to give more shape to their deep space clatter. The entirely instrumental song cycle throbs and whirrs meditatively and at times--on tracks such as "Ho Renomo," "Steinsame," and "Fur Luise"--has the feel of Eastern raga. "Wehrmut," "Mit ...

Zuckerzeit
$10.45
Collector's Choice Sweetwater is the only Sweetwater album to feature Nanci Nevins on vocals throughout, and it's hard to get a grip on. Sometimes it's attractive Californian folk-pop-psych not too far removed from the Mamas & the Papas, as on "Through an Old Storybook"; ...

| | Electro Cured: An Electro Tribute To The Cure CD (2004)
Zuckerzeit
$11.65
With the inevitable telescoping of time, and with more than a little help from VH1, the Cure today have been tossed into the new wave, an odd fate for a band that was born (as the Easy Cure) in the fires of punk. Still, punk was never a monolithic genre, even in its earliest days, and the Cure were far removed from the smash-and-grab styling of the movement's godhead trinity of the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Damned. Shrouding their songs in gloomy atmospheres and hypnotic rhythms, the Cure, along ...

The sound of Dan Bau – The haunting melodies! After concerts, we often asked and commended “Is it really one string?”, “How it works?”, “Could I try it?”, “Wow! It was the incredible sounds!”, “From far away, I couldn’t see the string, so it looked like you were touching the air to make music. Beautiful, beautiful melodies!!!” What is it?It called Dan Bau, the Vietnamese national one string zither. It is constructed of a long narrow sound box with a tall curved stem made from water buffalo horn inserted at one end. The single string runs between the sound box and a small wooden gourd attached to the stem. The stem is bent to change the pitch of the string. The string is plucked at nodal points producing the dan bau’s characteristic high clear sound.The CD is combination of solo and duet Dan Bau with ten difference orchestras and ensemble that including: Traditional Orchestra of Tashkent Conservatory Traditional Orchestra of Tajikistan Traditional Orchestra of UzbekistanTraditional Orchestra of the Vietnam Conservatory of MusicLotus Ensemble Rose EnsembleTraditional Orchestra of the Vietnam National Music Theatre Symphony Orchestra of VietnamGamelan Madu Sari National Symphony Orchestra of Latvia Musicians:Chi Khac Ho is the premiere Vietnamese virtuoso on the Dan Bau.
