Bleep

Swiftly following his solo debut Flammende Herzen, in addition to tireless session work with sideband Harmonia and Brian Eno, Michael Rother’s 1978 solo album Sterntaler comes about at a time when the visionary musician couldn’t stop producing records of remarkable human warmth, a rarity in krautrock’s usual cosmonaut futurism. However, having reenlisted frequent collaborator Conny Plank and Can percussionist Jaki Leibezeit, Sterntaler imagines a place — and a music — beyond anything that came before.
