Kluster were responsible for two milestones of electronic music. Schnitzler quit the band two years later, leaving Roedelius and Moebius to carry on as Cluster. When the duo....

Definitely in the symphonic/classical vein, this has been compared to early P.F.M., & that's a pretty valid comparison. Pretty fantastic and a classic of the Italian scene.
