CLUSTER Zuckerzeit ( 1974 )

[@billmcanally7782]

"1974's "Zuckerzeit", Cluster's first album made in their countryside studio, marked a major shift in their music from experimental noise to avant-pop." (Superior Viaduct);
track 1, "Hollywood", 0:00;
track 2, "Caramel", and track 3, "Rote Riki", 4:45, seem to be melded together into one track;
track 4, "Rosa", 13:56;
track 5...or, track 1, side 2, "Caramba", 18:07;
track 6, "Fotschi Tong", 22:03;
track 7, "James", 26:22;
track 8, "Marzipan", 29:44;
track 9, "Rotor", 32:57;
and last, but not least, track 10, "Heisse Lippen", or, "Hot Lips", 35:38....which seems to end rather abruptl
Thanks for upload, enjoyed!

If Boards of Canada didn't directly copy 'Hollywood' for their 'Campfire Headphase' era music, then I just don't know... The similarity is very strong.

A friend and I were listening to this record for the first time in years the other day, and I commented on the same thing, very(!) strong BoC vibes. Also, "Caramel" is reminiscent of Melodies from Mars by Aphex Twin. Don't know how I never noticed before, it was always just Cluster to me, but it goes to show how innovative they were.

absolute brilliance. one of my favourite records of all time.

[@Tony-hu7uk]

Interesting that you like this so much.Do you think it's as good as Tangerine Dream's mid 70s output?

[@Vingul]

​@@Tony-hu7uk I can of course not answer for him, but personally I have not heard anything by Tangerine Dream that comes close to Cluster.

Early Kraftwerk meets Tangerine Dream - part 3...

[@DeathMetalheadish]

What a great record. Blending krautrock with catchiness immaculately.

[@Tony-hu7uk]

What about Sowiesoso?

[@ms8279]

Album pioniere particolarmente piacevole e interessante.

[@aprendizdebrujo100]

Roedelius's songs are more melodic. Moebius is more "noisy"

Nice David Bowie LOw influence in there! Beautiful
David was often ahead of the crowd
Good artists copy
Great artists steal

[@richmoreno9938]

This record (1974) predates David Bowie-Low (1977).

[@florianobonfanti7801]

The other way round.

[@LPW638]

This is a joke. Right???

[@haraldrudolph6158]

Keine Konkurrenz für Kraftwerks"Autobahn"

[@gertjelken424]

Richtig man kann sich manches auch schön hören viele Krautrock Bands sind sowieso überbewertet.

[@thomasrichard7054]

@@gertjelken424 Und andere sind unterbewertet! 😝

[@Kalighat13]

so ein wegweisendes album und in 7 jahren grad mal lachahfte 776 clicks - schande !

[@christianfliegendruck625]

dies Album trägt ein Verlagsrecht RALF ARNIE (STAR-STUDIO HMBRG). siehe S. 349 von Reetze der sound der Jahre, 2022 Bremen BRD.
dies meint, wenn ich mich nun SEHR WEIT AUS MEINEM Fenster lehn: Du hast s Album odr wirsts nie sein, solch Zuckersein.
(im Buch sind die Verkaufszahlen aufnotiert; was mir da fehlt: wieviele Dinger wurden gepresst?, wo is der Rest?)
