Bemerkungen / Comments:
Grosses Wasser is the seventh album by the electronic music outfit Cluster. It was co-produced by former Tangerine Dream member Peter Baumann. Grosses Wasser marked the return to Cluster working as a duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius after two albums collaborating with Brian Eno.
Grosses Wasser was recorded and released in 1979 on the Hamburg, Germany based Sky label. It featured a wide variety of styles, including some of the most avant-garde material created by Moebius and Roedelius since the demise of Kluster with Conrad Schnitzler's departure in 1971, particularly during the middle section of the title track, which occupied all of side 2. Other tracks, including 'Manchmal' and both the opening and closing sections of 'Grosses Wasser' continued the gentle, melodic style of the previous three albums, while others echoed the rhythmic style of Zuckerzeit, albeit with more of an edge. Steven and Alan Freeman, writing in their book The Crack in the Cosmic Egg, describe the title track, in part, as '...a lengthy suite growing out of silence with atmospheric Florian Fricke-like sustained piano tones, via bizarre crackling electronics onto almost tribal-industrial rock percussives.'
Grosses Wasser was first reissued on CD by Sky Records in 1992. It was first released in the U.S. by the Gyroscope label on March 19, 1996. A 1,000 copy limited edition digitally remastered CD was released on the Japanese Captain Trip label on September 20, 2007.
Kammermusikalischer Minimalismus: 1979er-Album des Avantgardeduos.
1971 gründeten Hans-Joachim Roedelius und Dieter Moebius Cluster, eine der einflussreichsten deutschen Bands der 70er-Jahre. Cluster zählen zu den Protagonisten der internationalen Elektronik-Avantgarde, gelten je nach Standpunkt als Erfinder der Ambientmusik, als Wegbereiter des Synthiepop, der Industrial-Musik, oder einfach als strahlender Stern im Krautrock-Universum. 'Großes Wasser' erschien erstmals 1979, wurde von Peter Baumann (Tangerine Dream) produziert und ist Clusters fünftes Album. Das Cover illustriert seinen Minimalismus, steht für die Konzentration, Transparenz und Abgeklärtheit der Musik, die fast kammermusikalisch anmutet. Mehr als jemals zuvor bei Cluster sind akustische Schallquellen zu hören, allen voran ein sauber gestimmter Steinway-Flügel, aber auch E-Bass, Gitarre, Percussion und Stimme. Das Reissue des Albums ist Start einer 23-teiligen Wiederveröffentlichungsreihe von Elektronik-, Ambient- und Krautrock-Alben der Firma SKY Records. Der Begleittext stammt von Asmus Tietchens.
