Cluster - Cluster '71

"…the first, and perhaps only, record of its kind. Cluster 71 informs the following three decades and change of outsider music, and it sojourns inwards; sprinkling its kosmische dust on techno, experimental music and composition, leftfield hip-hop production, Krautrock, New Age, even latter-day dub, doing so not only from an adventurous and refreshingly non-academic vantage point, but also from a sonically clean, open space, a far cry from the noise recordings of today, where more often than not the medium and studio textures become an accomplice to the sounds themselves. Other musicians, not the least of which Cluster themselves, would carry these ideas on to their future work and refine them into what we know to exist today." - Dusted
