Electronic Meditation (Audio CD)

Customer Review

The debut of the Tangs 1970, then in the occupation of the electronic godfathers Edgar Froese, Conrad Schnitzler (later Kluster and then solo) and Klaus Schulze (later Ash Ra Tempel and then solo). In other simultaneously released albums (eg Popol Vuhs Affenstunde "power plant first, or Monster Movie" Can) helped this LP with at birth of electronic music.

However, the Electronic was on this first albums mostly the type of production and the exploitation of the technical capabilities of the Studioequpiments (filter Vary speed, reverse, etc.), because the synthesizer were yet too expensive and not widespread.

On Electronic Meditation "Thus conventional instruments (guitars, organ, cello, drums) was used. The compositions of the 5 songs are still strongly influenced by improvising and experimental nature of rock music, such as those also Amon Düül made. Free, unbridled, spontaneous rhythms and noise sound, sometimes discordant and eruptive, sometimes meditative and floating. When my first approaches to this record, I was stunned, because it requires but some runs, to understand the originality and beauty of the music quite present.

Otherwise applies here what Stefan Wekler says in his review. :-)

What I am less enthusiastic, is in 1995 made digital remastering, the recordings can sound too dull and undifferentiated as opposed to older CD version.
