Promotianl copy.

By the late 1980s Hans-Joachim Roedelius, co-founder of Cluster and Harmonia and a collaborator of Brian Eno, had largely set the synthesizer aside for the grand piano. Momenti Felici (1987), made after his move to Austria and released on Virgin's ambient imprint Venture, is among the loveliest fruits of that turn: gentle neo-classical miniatures and improvisations, several graced by Alexander Czjzek's saxophone, the whole poised between composition and reverie.

It is a long way from the harsh beginnings of Kluster, and none the worse for it. A quiet, late grace note from one of the German underground's founding figures.
