Cluster II

Esoteric Recordings release of a newly remastered edition of Cluster II, a classic 1972 album by Cluster. Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius had been making experimental electronic music since meeting at Berlin's famed Zodiak Arts Lab in the late 1960s.

Cluster II was their second work for a major label and was released in Germany on the Brain label in 1972. The sessions saw producer (and contributor to Cluster's first album) Conny Plank oversee the proceedings.

Less 'industrial' in feel compared to Cluster's debut work, Cluster II is nevertheless a classic and hailed by aficionado Julian Cope as a major album in his book Krautrocksampler.
