ROBERT SCHROEDER
Mosaique
1981 Germany pressing
@ #45rpm

An excellent chapter from the book of Berlin-School electronics.

The third Schroeder album (produced by Klaus Schulze), it utilizes the brand-new-at-the-time PPG WAVE 2, a German built #synthesizer that gained such notoriety, that literally everybody started using them. It is an endless list of who’s who when it comes to early #80s synth music (Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, Tangerine Dream and David Bowie to name just a few).

Here, Schroeder blends the PPG with guitar, bass and drum flawlessly. The album sounds incredible, and creates quite the atmosphere.

I’ve mentioned on here before about my penchant for records that are great for playing whilst pursuing other creative endeavours like drawing, painting, etc, and this one fits that bill perfectly.

New #review today: "#RobertSchroeder’s third album, Mosaique from 1981, is one of those LPs that fell through the cracks; the most recent legitimate release was in 1984, still on LP; now in 2025 the rights to release the album on CD have been sorted out, and it’s finally getting its first CD release on #SphericMusic with two bonus tracks." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/robert-schroeder-mosaique-edit-2025-3.html

New #review today: "D.MO is #RobertSchroeder’s abbreviation for demo, and so it is that Vol. 5, like the four volumes before it, is basically pieces that were started but never fully finished in that moment of creation, instead left to the lost and found to be picked up again at a later date and completed..." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/robert-schroeder-dmo-vol5-3.html

„We kick off this edition with #RobertSchroeder’s new #release, ‘Into The Light’, drifting away into dream worlds by letting yourself be beamed into other dimensions with space effects, mysterious spheres, deep strings and dreamy melodies. #ErikWollo returns with an assemblage of acoustic guitars. …“

New #review today: "With close to fifty full length releases to his credit since his 1979 debut, #RobertSchroeder is a consummate composer and musician who’s showing no signs of running out of steam anytime soon. Put the man in front of a battery of synthesizers, give him a few months to work his ideas into form, and a new recording will surely find its way to release." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/robert-schroeder-into-the-light-3.html
