Synopsis
Album Description Originally released in 1974, Zuckerzeit marked a turning point for these seminal German space rockers. Recorded shortly after their move away from the metropolis of Berlin, it sees some of the abrasiveness of their earlier material slightly diffusing. With the addition of proto drum machines and the producing talents of Michael Rother, their sound here, while remaining firmly in anchored in experimental territory, has more pop sensibility.

CD ReviewsThe sounds of today (and tomorrow) from yesterday. squarehawk2 | Wisconsin | 01/05/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Zuckerzeit ("Sugar Era") proves to be a classic upon first listen. The album was a progressive move forward for Roedelius and Moebius who began to compose with rhythmic structures by way of an early drum machine and a stronger emphasis on harmony, a great departure from "Cluster II". What results is a fresh and warm analog experience which many to this very day are trying to recapture but so very few do. Re-mastering seems to have been well done.
I wonder why this release is not as well known as the classic "Autobahn" considering they both came out in 1974." |
