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. Moebius and Roedelius continued to work and spell together continually.

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
