A sequel to the acclaimed Lunz project, this follow-up finds
Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Tim Story shedding their
original collaborative moniker in favour of recording under
their own names. It's great to hear the Cluster and Harmonia
veteran in such fine form (he'll be 74 this year), making
effortlessly graceful ambient music that still sounds like it's
at the very forefront of the genre. Inlandish is bound to prompt
comparisons to Ryuichi Sakamoto or Harold Budd for the glowing,
meditative piano pieces at the heart of the record, but the kind
of electronic treatments and additional instrumentation reaches
beyond any single theme, with some compositions simply
augmented by ghostly strands of cello, while others more fully
embrace digital manipulation, as on 'Serpentining'; a melding of
melodic piano and humming circuitry. Of course, there's some
great synth work on the album too, particularly when it comes to
the vintage krautrock tones of 'Beforst', a piece wonderfully
redolent of Roedelius' past. Excellent.
