Product Review

(LP + CD) Called ''the world's most important rock group'' by Brian Eno, the legendary minimalist avant-garde band Harmonia was formed in the early seventies by Michael Rother (of Neu!), Hans-Joachim Roedelius, and Dieter Moebius (both of Cluster). Although this supergroup released just two albums, they were very influential and perfectly embodied the krautrock ideal. While leaning slightly towards Cluster's more ambient sound, they were also entirely their own entity, a jet engine running clean and precise but also spouting asphyxiating aural exhaust. 180 gram LP + bonus CD of the album.
