The Artist/Album: Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Geschenk Des Augenblicks – Gift of the Moment (Bureau B, 2011)
A Short Review: The tenth solo album of Cluster/Harmonia’s co-founder emerged from the ether in 1984. Free of any experimental fare, it drops his synthcapades for a piano-led neo-classical approach that makes us think of long train rides in the dead of winter. Really gorgeous, sweeping stuff.
