Roedelius News

Michael Karoli of Can and Faust's Uwe Nettelbeck are dead; Kraftwerk are today reduced to founder Ralf HA1 4tter and a crew of minions; but at the respective ages of 75 and 65, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius continue their musical work as Cluster.

When most people clean out their cupboards, they just end up finding old magazines and out-of style clothes, but if you're Harmonia's Michael Rother , you just might find a cassette tape of a one-off summit between Harmonia and ambient mad scientist Brian Eno, circa 1976.

Shining a light on the music world's fringes, the X Avant Festival scores a coup by hosting the first Canadian appearance by a pivotal act in the '70s German rock scene known as Krautrock.

The second collaboration between Eno and the guys from Cluster fails to captivate in the same way as Cluster & Eno from the previous year did.

Brock Van Wey's Echospace debut is the first album to be released under his own name, but its content will not surprise anyone familiar with his previous ambient work as BVDub.

Jardin Au Fou is a welcoming reissue from Kraut legend Hans-Joachim Roedelius, better known as one-half of Cluster.
