Roedelius
Gift Of The Moment
On "Gift of the Moment" Roedelius broke away unequivocally from purely electronic music. If "Lustwandel" and "Jardin au fou" had seen the process set in motion, this was the album that completed the transition. Following the "Selbstportraits", which had at least been created through the use of electric organ and synthesizers, Roedelius focussed on the grand piano, sometimes accompanied by a cello, violin and guitar. Distant echoes of a not so distant musical past could only be detected in the occasional appearance of sparse chords played on a polyphonic synthesizer.
