ERSATZ by MOEBIUS & RENZIEHAUSEN

1990 sees Dieter Moebius enter new musical territory, cautiously reconnoitering the digital world.His companion on this excursion is Karl Renziehausen, a visual artist and constructor of sound sculptures. The two of them distance themselves sonically and musically from existing Moebius collaborations with Conny Plank and Gerd Beerbohm (almost all of which have been reissued on Bureau B); similarly, only sporadic echoes can be heard of Cluster and Harmonia, two projects whose style Moebius influenced significantly over a number of years. The music: surrealist, minimal / experimental electronics. "Adventures in sound, a world brought to life by the most remarkable characters and atmospheres." (Asmus Tietchens). Initially released on the Pinpoint label in 1990. Liner notes by Asmus Tietchens.
