British singer-songwriter Lloyd Cole and Cluster member Hans-Joachim Roedelius! A fan of Cluster, especially of the "Sowiesoso" LP from 1976, in 2001 Cole released his heavily Cluster-influenced album "Plastic Wood". It wasn't until 2011 that the pair finally started to work together in Vienna.
Cole neither sings nor plays guitar and Roedelius rarely touches the keys of his grand piano. Instead, both musicians have developed a subtle soundscape which only drifts towards pure noise on one track. All of the other "studies" on the album move within a vast spectrum of harmonic wonder and rhythmic stepping stones.
