Ultimate Plank Fitnessstephan Crump

More offerings from Eno, Moebius, Roedelius, Plank, and Neumeier, Begegnungen II is the equivalent of its predecessor. The tracks on the compilation (recorded in 1976-1983) are an appealing mix of artsy electronic ambiance and progressive Krautrock. Eno's mechanical "Broken Head" stands out as the only vocal track - a dark, almost oppressive industrial tune not unlike early Gary Numan, but warmer. "Speed Display," originally recorded for Moebius, Plank, and Neumeier's Zero Set, is a fantastic showcase for Mani Neumeier's speed and endurance as a percussionist. He generates an incredible rhythmic groove, supplemented by sparkling synthesizer flourishes. Roedelius shines with two contributions to the set…

Crows An Wra is the 1st in a 3 album collection of free form psychedelic inspired soundscapes and ambient pieces written in an experimental live flow using various studio exotica. Unique , colourfull with hidden layers and worlds of sound this music was written for deep immersive headphone listeners and people who like to float in mind space.

This is the 2nd of a 3 disk CD set on Txt recordings of free form psychedelic inspired soundscapes and ambient pieces by Lee Norriss and Matt Hillier and Plank and Ishq and written in free form creative space.
The music and ambience harks back to the old days of 90's free form music where nothing was planned and the sonic worlds flowed out of the speakers. Its 'free music' for headphone tweakers, not written to impress or be perfect, not wrtten to be 'the best work', it was created to exist and paint a picture in a detached way and a colourfull one. Its what it is and unique and thats enough to warrant its existance.

"Zero Set" is three masterminds of Krautrock together on one album. Dieter Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia), Mani Neumeier (Guru Guru), and legendary sound engineer Conny Plank (too many projects to name them) recorded this dark electronic and "motorik" piece in 1982.

This is the 3rd and final album in a 3 CD set originally released on Txt recordings by Lee Norris and Matt Hillier as 'Plank and Ishq' and continues the journey through the land of the 'Crows An Wra' and mythical landscape of cornish radiophonic oscillations and Henge like vista's. Surfice to say its a fairly odd work at times, at other times light and floaty like a cornish opiate cream tea and dream like, detached, we cant use that word enough. The music was conjured from a mental space of freeform experimentation and fluid like acts of non conformity. It suits late night headphone excursions well and is its own work, something different and one for the collection, unique and a genuine work of art in some respects maybe as its uncontrived and seeks to just exist for its own sake.
