In answer to Terry's question, the band Neu was a product of that Berlin Electronic movement of the mid 70's. I don't remember who came first but eihter Neu spawned Cluster or Cluster spawned Neu. At any rate, I believe that either Moebius or Rodelius (Who have done two albums with Eno, incidently),or both were part of Neu. I have at least one Neu album and it is equivalent to all the rest of that Berlin stuff, of which Cluster, (Early) Tangerine Dream,Klaus Schulze, Michael Hoenig, Eberhard Schroener (SP?), (Early) Edgar Froese solo, and (Early) Eroc are most representative samples of. Generally, this form of music done mainly with archaic synthesizer and effects technology has pretty much bit the dust, although Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze still appear to have some following, though the music is less cosmicsy oriented now. I understand that something similar is happening out in CA now, and is going under the collective title of New Age music (New World ?). If anyone has information on this new Space music (if it indeed exists) please let me know. Anybody want to buy a Synthi VCS3 cheap ? John ------
