| Manuel Göttsching - Inventions For Electric Guitar (1975) |
I've always had a problem with careful tracking of new music - I wanted to dabble in antiquities, especially strange. The stronger I felt that my peers would consider listening to such things as quirky, it drew more satisfaction from the absorption these sounds and explore new and intriguing recordings. Of course, it really is not anything America discovered. Maybe Tangerine Dream, Ashra, Klaus Schulze, or it is not Kings of Leon, but all persons who could honestly say about myself that are interested in music, rather, these and similar teams know. Another thing that is very often stream music from the Father-MiniMax. Most of the reactions in the names of those bands oscillates around: "My dad listens to."
It's good to be familiar with such classics, which in the case of Manuel Göttschinga are classics rather hidden. This guy made a huge contribution to the development of contemporary electronic music and it seems that only the Japanese can appreciate it - the wax museum in Tokyo has its glossy image . Even before on such albums as "Blackouts" or "correlations" put (along with Kraftwerk, of course) the foundation of synth-pop, and related, he recorded such gems as the first LP Ash Ra Tempel, or just "Inventions For Electric Guitar".
album cover does not admire it. Well, apparently Göttsching one hundred percent focused on music and only when all the material was already recorded, someone suddenly remembered him: "These, Manu, the board must have some cover!" A Manu, have been wanting to head an exhaustive work on the album, he asked someone to shoot him in the studio photo background chime ... Sometimes, like for example the " Remain in Light " - a wonderful album, the cover tragic.
Invention is a short, polyphonic, but simpler in construction of the fugue, a piece of instrumental performers mainly used to improve technique. Manuel not approached too orthodox for all the constitutive elements of musical form - may be the polyphony, but two of the three tracks last over a quarter ("plural" 21 and a half minutes). The second part of the name of the album is much more compelling against the background of what can be heard in the first seconds after switching on. "Echo Waves" sounds like a typical representative of the Berlin school - all drowning in the sounds of analog synthesizers and sequencers importunate ... only that there are no synthesizers. Göttsching czterościeżkowego used for recording tape and electric guitar supported a number of effects. The year was 1974, so it has had a glittering colored lights LEDs equipment to measure The Edge of U2. Technology is cool, but I think it's about something else. Manuel sat alone in a Berlin studio, and patiently, in turn, has recorded all the tracks that made up for these amazing songs.
two longer compositions are characterized by a large measure of repeatability - the individual voices merge and overlap, resulting in sometimes really far ago to the sound of the guitar. Actual instrumentation reveal the greatest highlights of these works. Göttsching serves us ecstatic solos then garnished with a big dose of distortion. In doing this really well - Manu always smoothly combine electronics with a guitar, in contrast to Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream, who with his strumming kicked many a song of this band, and even in its entirety one solo album - "Macula Transfer".
gem is lasting a little over six minutes "Quasarsphere. It is a moment of silence, meditation among others, aggressively loping, dudniącymi songs. The primary tool through which the delicate and airy obtained the atmosphere of a thumbnail, is a volume pedal, which is no miracle of technology. Background, which appear in many places on the album, often strikingly similar to mellotron. A very interesting phenomenon is the fact that these pioneering electronic album, already belong to the canon, were recorded with a relatively low use of synthesizers, which, after all, this species is identified immediately. "Atem" and "Phaedra" in large part owe their sound is melotronowi and bodies, not to mention debut of Klaus Schulze, who had only a handful of primitive bodies and equipment, because the synthesizer simply he could not afford. If in 1974 it was still in difficulties, he might ask his close friend, Manuel Göttschinga that he did the guitar synthesizer ...
For all the "szumiarzy" and other enthusiasts of this type of play, this is a must. The rest of it should try, because good music knows no barriers of genre. And if someone is unable to listen to zdzierżyć by three-quarters of those weird plumkanie, you can always use this recording as a background for other activities, than listening. This album has a lot to do with the ambient, and that's largely, at least in the assumption of the author, background music. Unfortunately, the "Inventions For Electric Guitar" is an album difficult to get. At this time, he is not even in the flagship store of electronic geeks Polish - generator.pl . There's no wonder - the English Wikipedia has little to say about Manuel Göttschingu, and that sufficient proof of his "niszowość.
