Mp3 music: Cluster

Artist: Cluster: mp3 download    Genre(s):  Rock Ambient     Cluster's discography:      Zuckerzeit    Year: 2007    Tracks: 10      Sowiesoso    Year: 1976    Tracks: 7 The most of meaning and systematically underrated space-rock unit of the '70s, Cluster (originally Kluster) was formed by Dieter Moebius, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Conrad Schnitzler as an improv group that victimised everything from synthesizers to alarm clock genus Erodium cicutarium and kitchen utensils in their performaces. Continuing on as a couple, Moebius and Roedelius lastly recorded many landmark LPs -- singly, as a duad, and with all manner of edgar Albert Guest artists from Brian Eno to Conny Plank to Neu!'s Michael Rother -- in the field of battle of German outer space music much termed kosmische. Cluster besides continued to explore ambient music into the '90s, long after their contemporaries had drifted into tamer new eld music or ceased transcription all told. Cluster earlier came out of a Berlin art/music corporate named the Zodiak Free Arts Lab, formed by Conrad Schnitzler (one of the leaders of the city's avant-underground), and too including Hans-Joachim Roedelius plus future members of Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel and Guru Guru. After Schnitzler and Roedelius met an artistic production educatee named Dieter Moebius, the triad formed Kluster in 1970. The group performed around Europe and even in Africa, engaging in wild improv sessions utilizing whatsoever instruments they could get their custody on; piece touring they met railroad engineer Conny Plank, presently to get a major region of Cluster's recorded output into the late '80s. The first base deuce-ace Kluster LPs, 1970's Klopfzeichen and Zwei Osterei plus 1971's Eruption, consisted of lateral improvisatory jams. Presently after the release of Eruption, Schnitzler left the band for a solo vocation. Moebius and Roedelius continued on as Cluster and, with the help of Plank, released deuce eponymic studio apartment albums in 1971 and 1972. An ongoing coaction with Michael Rother (Neu!) began in 1973, after the duad founded their own private studio out in the German countryside. After inviting Rother down to phonograph record, the results were released as the 1974 Cluster LP Zuckerzeit, a river basin of electronic pop midway between Cluster, Neu! and Kraftwerk (the latter just about to explode with their possess Autobahn LP). That same year, Moebius, Roedelius and Rother formed a Krautrock super-group named Harmonia; deuce fantabulous albums followed in the next twelvemonth, Musik von Harmonia and Harmonia De Luxe, as advantageously as a few roger Sessions with Brian Eno (unreleased until 1997's Tracks & Traces). Eno himself began his own collaboration with Moebius and Roedelius in 1977, when Sky Records released Clump & Eno. The trio likewise recorded After the Heat deuce eld later (technically credited as "Eno Moebius Roedelius"), and afterward a hiatus of captain Hicks age resumed the relationship with Begegnungen and Begegnungen II (both featuring Plank in the batting order as well). Though Roedelius and Moebius as well launched solo careers around this time (1978 and 1983, respectively) they continued to release compelling Cluster material in keeping with Zuckerzeit, including Sowiesoso in 1976, Grosses Wasser trio eld later and Curiosum in 1981. Besides the Eno collaborations and many other solo works, about 15 geezerhood passed earlier the appearance of some other Cluster record album, 1994's One Hour.

Both men, who will be sentenced next month, pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to defraud at Plymouth Crown Court.

Ang Lee Casting Theatrical Elite in �Taking Woodstock�

With this year's awful movie season nearing its zenith, we've decided to start getting excited about next summer's films. No, not Transformers 2 or, um, 4 Fast 4 Furiosiest � we're actually psyched about Taking Woodstock, "an adaptation of the memoir of Elliot Tiber who played a role in helping the historic 1969 music fest unfold on his neighbor's farm," and who memorably pitched the idea for the movie to Lee in the green room of a San Francisco television station.

In a time when Hollywood seems completely out of original ideas, director Ang Lee has taken the novel approach of casting mainly theater stars � and we think the results could be amazing. The movie is set to feature Tony winner Jonathan Groff as Woodstock organizer Michael Lang, Mamie Gummer as his assistant, Tony winner Dan Fogler as a local theater-troupe head, and � though not a Broadway star, no stranger to the stage � comedian Demetri Martin as Tiber himself. Plus, it's kind of like a theatrical reunion: Zoe Kazan will reteam with her Things We Want co-star Paul Dano to portray a hippie couple. And Jeremy Shamos (who was in 100 Saints You Should Know with Kazan and Hunting and Gathering with Gummer) is also in the mix. Sold? Well, then this is just icing on the cake: Liev Schreiber (who gave 2007's Most Exciting Performance, in Talk Radio) is reportedly in talks to play a transvestite! Dude!

We kind of love all these actors, perhaps because they haven't been overexposed in the tabloids but also because we've seen a bunch of them perform live and think they're really pretty talented. Lee has never been afraid to take risks before (see Lust, Caution), and we applaud him for once again thinking outside the box. Summer 2009 can't get here soon enough. Until then � peace! �Lori Fradkin

Lil Wayne album sells 1m copies in first week

It's all very well going around harping on about being "the best rapper alive", but it doesn't mean much if you're only selling 38 records to your mum. Luckily Lil Wayne now has the stats to back up his bragging, as his album Tha Carter III has sailed past the 1m mark in its first week.

This means our favourite vocally manipulated syrup-slurper now boasts the fastest-selling first week release of the year in the US, trouncing Mariah Carey's E=MC2, which sold just under half a million copies in its first week.

Lil Wayne's achievements haven't been matched since 50 Cent topped the mil mark three years ago with The Massacre. Kanye West's The Graduation came close, but fell about 50,000 under the crucial million.

The news will be especially gratifying for Wayne, who recently told Vibe magazine how he never seemed to get the respect his rapping deserved.

Tha Carter III was pushed up the charts on the back of the track Lollipop, which had topped the Billboard Hot 100 for weeks before being pushed off by Coldplay's Viva La Vida.

Bbc News Found Wanting After Devolution

The BBC must improve its coverage of the way Britain's four nations are governed in the wake of devolution, an impartiality report has found.

Research by Cardiff University and market research firm BMRB for the BBC Trust find no concerns exist about BBC News' impartiality, but that the different politics and policies in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are not being addressed sufficiently.

But it noted that there were no complaints about a lack of political impartiality, from either politicians or members of the public in all of Britain's four nations.

Research found 37 per cent of people believe the BBC's reports are often irrelevant to whether they live, while 19 per cent said they found reports on devolution to be "vague or confusing".

BBC Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons said the report showed the BBC was "falling short of its own high standards and is not meeting properly its core purpose of helping to inform democracy".

"The good news is that the public have told us that they want to learn about other parts of the UK," he added, pointing to BMRB research showing 82 per cent of people want to hear news from regions of the UK other than their own.

"This should inspire the BBC to meet this challenge and search for opportunities to make what is happening in different parts of the UK relevant and interesting to all audiences.

"From now on, those watching or listening to BBC News should consistently be able to learn not just what's happening, but whether it's unique to where they live, and how it compares to what might be happening elsewhere in the UK."

"We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications."
The actor's family released a statement saying: "Today's results put an end to speculation, but our son's beautiful spirit and enduring memory will forever remain in our hearts."
"While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy."
The statement also said: "Heath's accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage."
Ledger was found dead at his New York apartment on 22 January.
