info...
In the early 1980s Berlin was rife with experimental electronics bands. These
two groups were part of the complex history of sound experimenter Wolfgang
Hertz (also known for his work with Conrad Schnitzler as "Con-Hertz"),
Aussenminister are caught live with a lengthy spaced-out electronics/sax
piece recalling early Cluster and Kraftwerk. The Model 81 material is
selected from three hours of archive recordings, is more varied and industrial,
and often recalls Cluster, Kraftwerk, or Harmonia.
original cassette review...
Aussenminister/Model 81: These are two interrelated Berlin
synthe bands that explore the realm of early Cluster. There are long, dense
atmospheric tracks as well as shorter, heavy electronic snippets. The
combined sound is gripping and intense without being headache inducing.
[by Archie Patterson in Eurock]
CDR anthology notes...
This CD collection is respectfully dedicated to Wolfgang
"Hertz" Heusmann, a prolific and pioneering Berlin electronic
musician/multi-instrumentalist from the Krautrock / new-wave era of the
late-1970s and early-1980s. He was active in numerous obscure groups, i.e.
Aussenminister, Input, Model 81, and others - as leader and/or collaborator
throughout this period - as well as working solo. He also collaborated with
Conrad Schnitzler on a few releases. Attempts to find Wolfgang again in 2005
proved fruitless, and even Conrad hadn't heard from him for many years. So,
to avoid this obscure corner of Krautrock history being lost altogether, we
collated all the best recordings we have, including the previously unreleased
full length (and better quality) cosmic mind-trip "Fire On I Must
Go"
