releases... review... Release number 3,149 from Conrad
Schnitzler. But I'm happy to report that this is one of the better ones. On
this excellent release Con is joined by Wolfgang Hertz. Unlike some of Con's
earlier collaborations this cassette is highly successful. What seems to have
happened (and I could be totally wrong here), is that Wolfgang has taken the
raw material from Con and then mixed and edited it, while not being afraid to
alter the masters work. He has added his own effects to it, to create a wash
of music. A music that flows, revealing dense atmospheres and landscapes as
it travels on it's journey. This is most obvious on side l's 29 minute CHz1
which combines the best elements of Con's work to make music that while
recalling CONAL and to a lesser extent CONTROL, is something totally
coherent, with purpose, resulting in complete pleasure for the ears. The 4 tracks on side 2 take us into more new and exiting
territory. Added to Con's synths and sequencers and Wolfgang's atmospheres we
now have radio and tape loops of voices, bringing a touch of the real world
to the whole thing. This all adds up to one of the best releases from Conrad
Schnitzler for a while and makes Wolfgang Hertz a name to look out for. And
what's this - track titles?! What ever next? Hopefully a second Con-Hertz
cassette soon. by Gary Scott in Audion #3, page 11 (January 1987)
