Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +24,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

If you look at the players (CLUSTER & NEU!) and listen to the sound, it is well earlier in terms of its sound than later electronic music - having all the hallmarks of classic Krautrock. It flows with a spacy melodic and ambient vibe, but the production is very organic sounding, with even a bit of Motorrik. Way more so than what would be classified as Progressive Electronic a 'la later Ashra (post Tempel), Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, or even Kraftwerk. Regardless of classification, Harmonia to many are quintessential Krautrock; this is quite good.
and the "FAN MAN" continues:
- Along in the best droning and melodic sense as in Popol Vuh, Neu!, Cluster, GILA, and others, combining all elements - soft Motorrik, some electrics, some acoustics, definite spacey. "Deluxe" is claimed to be Harmonia's absolutely best effort, well, what can one say? Deluxe" is energic yet "cheap" (a good thing) electronic manifestation with simplistic melodies and vocals. "Walky talkly" is a cohesive electronic "trip" with an obsessional rhythm and some gentle, floating electric guitar parts made by Michael (NEU!) Rother. This composition has a nice "evasion" felt that can remind of some Rother's solo effort. The synth parts are terribly "kitsch" and sounds near to Roedelius' minimal-electronic works in solo. "Monza" is the rockiest tune of the album, mixing arch guitar sounds to the machines. "Notre Dame" is a basement-melodic electro attempt. "Gollum" is a typical floating piece with spacious synth lines, quite enchanting, delicate atmospheres. A rather sunny and aestival minimal-abstract electronic work...the atmosphere tends to be pleasant and easy to digest. In the spirit preference by far is the weird, textural & dark improvised imagery of "musik von". A nice and recommended collective work of KRAUTROCK era
