    Ace proto-techno oddity from 1984!

    Dieter Moebius is one of the most important protagonists of avant-garde electronic music in Germany. Alongside his bands Kluster/Cluster and Harmonia, he participated in numerous collaborations (with the likes of Brian Eno and Mani Neumeier/Guru Guru)

    He recorded two albums with the bass player Gerd Beerbohm in 1982 and 1983; “Double Cut” was the second. What became of Beerbohm sadly remains a mystery.

    Electronic avant-garde pop in its most rigorous form. The centrepiece of the album, the 22-minute “Doppelschnitt”, can be tagged as proto-techno. Moebius and Beerbohm have grafted an endless stream of rhythmical electronic particles onto an ostinato bass and drum figure, fluttering to and fro like the lightest of shimmering veils. The utter and deliberate absence of any kind of melody makes it even easier to be carried away by rhythm to distant places.
