But of course, Hal, I don’t feel offended; it’s just that I’m not very fond of absolutist solutions in a review like "this one is good, the rest is crap," especially since I don’t think the albums the reviewer refers to have unjustly overshadowed Mertens. I’ll add: this review is inconclusive and convoluted, as it praises a whole series of albums by the Belgian without referencing this one, which, on the other hand, should be less appreciated by Lato B, since it is rather sung by Mertens. Instead, a 4-minute track from Maximizing The Audience is considered a negative comparison, where Mertens, by the way, shares vocal duties with another performer (and in the album overall, Mertens allows others to sing instead of performing himself). Negative comparisons should be sought here since it’s only Mertens singing in more tracks. It’s hard to make sense of it all.

Eheh, exactly, your opinion and your enthusiasm. :) Frankly, I think these are two works unique in their own right, but the ecstasy of those who praise them seems excessive to me. The excited Scaruffi finds in them who knows how many references to classical music, but frankly, these are experiments where Schulze draws from the substratum of German culture, not from music itself: there’s the Wagnerian impulse, not the musical structure. So the quality, in my opinion, needs to be somewhat downsized: we are not facing Lohengrin. Furthermore, it should not be overlooked that our artist sometimes dwells too much on a musical idea, simply leading to something tedious and boring. Perhaps for this reason, this is a step up from Irrlicht, which only explodes at the end of "Ebene": Synphara and Comphara are easier to listen to. I also add, as I have already said, that the albums with a more electronic sound like "Timewind" and "X" are definitely more listenable, and from this standpoint, I prefer them to Cyborg and Irrlicht.

Side B, you really found interesting insights and valuable words, but there's so much annoying certainty in what you write. It starts from the concrete assumption that Wim's voice is actually a bit weak and laughable, and you might have all the reasons in the world for that, but your remarks about the "awkward chamber music" box sets are open to debate, and quite a lot, too. It's one thing that you have a problem with the endless production of recent years, but implicitly targeting masterpieces like "Struggle For Pleasure" and "Maximizing The Audience," which shouldn't fall under your tastes as chamber music, certainly not just for piano or piano and voice, is at the very least debatable. If you prefer this kind of production, that's your choice; there's no need to label as fanatical those who listen to something different.

Beautiful Zion! You mentioned all the great guys from the '80s, now I'm adding the Double, who remembers them? Regarding Neu! and Faust, qzyno, I see you remember the reviews I wrote some time ago: did you see how wonderful that "Neu!2" was on the cover? So sparse and yet adaptable to any era? If it were the cover of a record today it wouldn't shock me, but if this were the cover of a modern CD, I'd be scandalized for sure! :)

Sure, you see, they have one thing in common: they are all gay eighty's music authors.

Come on, Qzyno, but more or less we're still in the realm of the glossy music Electric-Café's style (we discussed this in the related review), so since Kraft are krauts, I don't see much difference. And Electric Café was glam, come on. The power of the '80s, which glittered everything that was produced. And Rick is right, it's really gay music. Like the stuff from Kraftwerk of those years, indeed, or Duran Duran or Moroder.

Orenda! The problem is that the '80s were also very narcissistic: all these hippies were so pleased to appear with their oversized glasses and big, teased hair on the covers... it was a chauvinistic trend!

How glitzy and gay the 80's were, with those enveloping tunes, the synths playing C-E-G chords, and the horrific album covers!

I also justify, engineering studies nonetheless. And then Phidias is the sculptor, with these things he's in his element, huh. A kiss for Dunk.
