Reuber Discography of CDs

Reuber CD discography Timo Reuber's second solo album is a case of LP over CD. The two 20-plus-minute tracks are so different in styles, moods, and dynamics that it is preferable to actually need to get up, walk to the turntable, and flip the record in order to snap out of "A" before "B" hits you. Even the extra CD track, "Schlaf Gut" (seven minutes), does not provide a strong enough argument for choosing the CD. "A" starts with almost nothing and builds up to very little more. Shimmering electronic sounds oscillate delicately, creating entrancing textures. It is not static, but remains very soft spoken, ambient. This cloud-surfing piece comes to an end after 21 minutes.

The way Sudpol begins with the slow rising build of "Altweiber," all steady synth notes and compressed production, could just as easily be from an adventurous musician from Reuber's native Cologne thirty years ago -- if that's retro, ...

Reuber albums Under this awful cover (it actually deserves a prize for well-calculated bad taste) hides Reuber's best album and one of the biggest surprises of 2005. Nothing -- not even his activities in the duo Klangwart -- could prepare you for this delicate cinematic trip down psychedelic lane. Released four years after Ruhig Blug, Kintopp is a 40-minute suite in 13 segued parts that draws equally from experimental ambient (grainy textures, drones), German cosmic music (Klaus Schulze, Conrad Schnitzler, and a very Ash Ra Tempel-sounding "Schöne Fremde"), and psychedelic rock (a ...
