cluster can be counted among the most important international protagonists of the electronic avant-garde.some credit them with having invented ambient music, others as pioneers of synthesizer pop, whilst to some they are firmly embedded in the krautrock universe. there is some truth in all of these notions. cluster (or kluster as they were in the beginning) were founded in 1970 in berlin by conrad schnitzler, hans-joachim roedelius and dieter moebius.when listening to 'cluster ii' today, fifty years after it was recorded, the album’s historic significance becomes as clear as never before. a lot has already been written about cluster’s historic impact. let me just underline in this context that it was not least this album that opened up doors through which generations of electro-acoustic musicians were yet to step. - asmus tietchens
