Conrad Schnitzler (1937 - 2011) war Komponist und Konzeptkünstler und einer der wichtigsten Vertreter deutscher Elektronikmusik-Avantgarde. Das frühe Mitglied von Tangerine Dream und Kluster veröffentlichte unzählige Soloalben, das erste, das rote Album, 1973.

Hier formuliert Schnitzler seine ganz eigenen Vorstellungen von elektronischer Musik. Als Gefolgsmann des Aktions- und Objektkünstlers Joseph Beuys hatte er auch dessen "erweiterten Kunstbegriff" übernommen. Schnitzler erweiterte den Begriff "Musik", indem er auf alle bis dahin gültigen Musikregeln pfiff und den eingeschränkten Zufall zum Konzept machte. Die Improvisation wurde wichtig, die Klänge und Geräusche sind ausschließlich synthetisch. Die scheinbar chaotischen Bewegungen der mikroskopischen Klangpartikel führen den Hörer in eine ebenso kristalline wie lebendige künstliche Welt. Die für Schnitzler so typischen Klangkaskaden und der durchsichtige Sound sind in ihrer Konsequenz einzigartig.

Das Reissue erscheint im Digipak mit Linernotes von Asmus Tietchens, Fotos und einem 20-minütigen CD-Bonus-Track.

Uncompromising sound circus

Admittedly, Conrad Schnitzler's works are very often quite unwieldy and not easily accessible. It is also not music in the "conventional" sense, but rather sound snippets, effects and plenty of improvised short harmonies. Schnitzler was unique and uncompromising among electrical engineers when it came to music and art. Even on his first release, called "Rot" because the cover was simply red and without any indication of which artist it was and which label was behind it, only "René Block" was noted on the record label, who was considered a contemporary of Schnitzler's as an uncompromising gallerist in Berlin, Conrad (Konrad) Schnitzler unwaveringly pursued the experimental musical art style. Only two titles found a place on his first disc. On side 1, the title "Meditation", which I have listened to countless times, and yet did not and do not really want to open up the character of a meditation. Presumably this is also a typical Schnitzler pose, to re-declare the exact opposite of the "actual state". It wouldn't come as a surprise, because you should have a good sense of humour for his kind of music. Just like in "real" life, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stand it and would go mad.
The reissue, based on the first release, is also limited to 500 copies in transparent red.
The sound and pressing are excellent, which is not always the case with Bureau B releases. There is also an interesting longer commentary by Asmus Tietchens in English and German on the inner sleeve.
As already mentioned, it's not "everyday music" for the side, but serious humorous and abstract sound sequences and mixes. It should not be missing in any "electro household".
