First vinyl re-issue on M=minimal of the very rare privately released "red cassette" from 1974 of minimal rhythmic/floating electronic music by former Tangerine Dream / Kluster memember and one of the most peculiar and adventurous electronic explorers of the German scene.

condition (record/cover): NM / VG+ (edges wear)

Zug, meaning "train," is one of Conrad Schnitzler's pivotal early pieces, a churning, mechanized electronic motion that surfaced around the time of Kraftwerk's Autobahn and, in its insistence on rhythm as raw sound rather than groove, reads now as a premonition of techno.

Little wonder that M=Minimal, the label behind this reissue, paired it with a remix by Pole: the line from Schnitzler to Berlin's later electronic music is written plainly across it. A short, hypnotic, forward-pointing work from a restless mind.
