Cluster - Sowiesoso (1976)

Electronic | Krautrock | 2007 | Captain Trip Records | CTCD-598

Sowiesoso is the fourth full-length album by German electronic music outfit Cluster. Sowiesoso was recorded in just two days in Forst, Germany in 1976. It was Cluster's first release for legendary Krautrock label Sky Records, a relationship which would last until 1983 including albums with Brian Eno, solo recordings, and three albums by the duo of Moebius and former Cluster member and frequent engineer/producer Conny Plank.

Sowiesoso was Cluster's gentlest and most melodic album of electronic music to that point. Brian Eno had worked with Moebius and Roedelius with Harmonia prior to the recording of Sowiesoso and worked with Cluster again on two albums in 1977 and 1978 and the influence of the British ambient musician is clearly heard on the softer and more controlled sound of this album. Russ Curry describes the album this way: "...a fully realized marriage of electronic sounds with a pastoral warmth." Julian Cope included Soweisoso in his Krautrock Top 50.

The album was first reissued on CD by Sky Records in the mid '90s. It has also been reissued by the American label Gyroscope in 1996, the San Francisco based Water label in 2006 and the Japanese label Captain Trip in 2007.

This album is refreshing good and reaches parts that some do not even dare venture. It is so so gentle with you. The opening track descends across the vast empty desert with a simple one-chord vibe and chunky rhythm box. Synth voices and strings float overhead but nothing really happens and it doesn't need to. A couple of minutes of eastern promise and we're back wandering the wastelands however this is far more urban territory. Then we're floating across the plains where the whole village comes out to greet us. Soaring through the skies we are a great bird drifting through the clouds. Then you're back as a small child, innocently exploring with wide bug eyes in total awe of your warm surroundings. Then its late and dark and you're caught on the tide gently drifting in the shallow bay. Lulled slowly and sweetly so as to sleep and dream.......like a warm mug of thick and creamy chocolate - wonderful.
