Originally released in 1981 on Uniton Records, Conal arrived during a prolific period for Conrad Schnitzler, as his music was reaching an increasingly international audience.

    The album consists of two side-long pieces, 'N1' and 'N2', each unfolding through a series of interconnected sections rather than a single continuous movement. These shifting passages create a sense of progression and contrast, offering a broad snapshot of Schnitzler's evolving approach to electronic composition.

    Rich in layered electronics and seamless transitions, Conal highlights the depth of Schnitzler's studio craft and his willingness to push his music in new directions. More than four decades on, it remains a key work in the catalogue of one of electronic music's most distinctive figures.
