RELEASE DATE
1/5/2010
This is the first solo album by
Dieter Moebius
, recorded at
Conny Plank
's studio and originally released in 1983 on Sky Records. By 1969 at the latest, Dieter Moebius was synonymous with the avant-garde electronic music scene in Germany. He and
Hans-Joachim Roedelius
formed
Cluster
, a seminal electronic/ambient duo, while Moebius was also a member of the so-called Krautrock supergroup
Harmonia
(with
Michael Rother
and Roedelius), as well as collaborating on various other projects with the likes of
Brian Eno
and
Mani Neumeier
from
Guru Guru
. Somehow, it took Moebius until 1983 to release his own solo debut album.
Tonspuren
is an album of minimalisms, miniatures and stringent form -- 10 consistently concise and precise pieces. Moebius develops tonal variations out of minimalistic, rhythmic, harmonic basic tracks, sometimes coming close to tangible melodies. Yet this is exactly the point at which he purposely steers clear of electronic pop criteria. Nevertheless,
Tonspuren
is a pop album, its radically stripped-down contents replenished with harmonious elements of prevalent popular music. Echoes of Cluster notwithstanding, the music of
Tonspuren
is a separate entity altogether. Moebius seems to be avoiding improvisation as the devil keeps his distance from holy water. Each piece is thoughtfully composed, as Moebius crafts his miniatures layer by layer. Spontaneous inaccuracies have no place here; noise escapades are nipped in the bud. Baroque, folklore and frivolity are not admitted into the studio when the red light is on. Thanks to
Tonspuren
, the keen listener now has the opportunity of direct comparison in his appraisal of the solo albums of Moebius, Roedelius and Rother.
Tonspuren
thus represents a vital piece of the Harmonia puzzle. Including liner notes by
Asmus Tietchens
.
