Cluster

Cluster is a German electronic music duo formed by Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius, originating from the earlier project Kluster (which included Conrad Schnitzler). They are noted for pioneering ambient, kosmische and experimental electronic music and for collaborations with Brian Eno.

Formed from 1969 (originally as Kluster), Cluster released seminal early-70s albums (Cluster 71, Cluster II) and later works such as Zuckerzeit and Sowiesoso. They collaborated with Brian Eno (Cluster & Eno). Dieter Moebius (one member) died in 2015. Critics credit Cluster with influencing ambient, industrial-leaning acts and later experimental musicians.
