Andreas Grosser - Vinite Visum (2018)

Andreas Grosser was considered an underrated hero of German synth music in the early ’80s and based off only a couple of albums – a collaboration with Tangerine Dream/Ash Ra Tempel’s Klaus Schulz in 1987 and of course 1981s Vinite Visum, that’s reissued here on Running Back. All tracks were composed and performed between 1976 and 1980, when the East Berlin synthesist was inspired by the West German cosmic scene. He was rumoured to have made many hours of music, which he duplicated to cassette recordings for anyone that wanted them. Presented here is a collection of psychedelic ambient oddities, conjured from celestial synth sounds and other assorted classic machines.
