fljungbe - Slow and simple music performed on synthesizers (2009)


Jamendo

9.0


/Krautrock, Kosmische Musik, Conceptual, Electronic pop, Exerimental, Chill out/


Comment: this 6-pieced issue is dedicated to a handful of seminal German krautrockers/electronic/kosmische musicians (Ralf Hütter, Klaus Schulze; Edgar Fröse) and quite unsung Swedish experimentalist Ralf Lundsten. And to Moog and other analogue keyboards either. The listener can shift alongside with burbling, mid-tempo dominated synthetic rhythms and overdriving harmonic whiffs and washes, autotuned (robot-like) vocal appearances and lots of motives ringing a bell, however, all of that running along the more and less lopsided orbits of inner/outer space. On the other side, the album can be specified as an instance of chill out music strongly inspired by the ideology of Kosmische Musik. Indeed, it is time to set your dials backward to come over to a retrofuturistic era.
