Cluster II (50th Anniversary Edition)

Handnumbered reissue. To mark German outfit Cluster continue to make their 50th anniversary with the reissue of some of their most vital albums. They are a band that had an influence on artists like Brian Eno, John Foxx and Coil from their 1971 debut Cluster 71 onwards. They were fine fusionists who collided cold wave and synth sounds with disorientating atmospherics, feedback and noise as this second album in 1972 shows. It was made by the reduced duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius on all tracks although the third member Conny Plank is credited as a composer. It was the band’s first release for Krautrock label Brain with more to follow until 1975
