Clara Mondshine

Reissue of 1983 album. Easy listening melodies come in smaller doses here despite Walter Bachauer's (aka Clara Mondshine) fondness for the pop oriented side of the so called "Berlin School" electronics and the overall time in which he operated this project. Clara Mondshine was spaced out electronics far from the average radio sound with a clear progressive edge reaching into the avant-garde territory here and there. Cool harmonies appear and commit themselves to body heating polyrhythmic grooves. But right with the next tune this album takes a turn towards the darker sectors where it strides the mystical gates with picturesque lines of sparkling synthesizer notes or cold and majestic tunes. You will feel your blood freeze while listening to these songs. You will experience many different moods that all lead back to the classic 1970s cosmic and electronic music of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze or Kraftwerk and Cluster.
