Reedycja ostatniej płyty studyjnej Cluster z 2009 roku.


• The last studio album by the legendary krautronic duo (Dieter Moebius/Hans-Joachim Roedelius),
recorded 2009 in Ohio by Tim Story
• “Seventeen miniature worlds, some icy, some warm, all infused with that Cluster elusiveness and
unpredictability. Playful, dark, funny, human, Qua captures that deceptive Cluster heartbeat —
unmistakably modern but utterly timeless.”
Excerpt from the liner notes by the producer: >> My role, as I imagined it, was to emulate Conny Plank,
the great Cluster producer and a hero I’d never had a chance to meet. An impossible burden of course,
so I simply tried to make the recording process as invisible as possible, offer as many interesting sonic
options as I could, and give Cluster the chance to be Cluster – to express that deep and unique dialog
that only Moebi and Achim fully understand. Moebi had brought along some of his wonderfully quirky
loops, but the rest was simply an embrace of the technology and toys that they found in the studio. Old
drum machines, a gaudy orange Farfisa (solos on which Achim would always seem to center around
the one temperamentally unreliable note), cutting edge keyboards and processors, a cheap Yamaha
Omnichord. The results were, to my ears at least, stunning. Seventeen
Minia ture worlds, some icy, some warm, all infused with that Cluster elusiveness and unpredictability.
Playful, dark, funny, human, Qua captures that deceptive Cluster heartbeat – unmistakably modern but
utterly timeless. Adorned later with Moebi’s slyly nonsensical titles (Putoil for example, which
features a “solo” made from Moebi’s recording of our squeaky bathroom door), and his cheerfully Dada
cover, Qua’s evolution was a true privilege to witness.
