A map of the new German cosmic underground. 'Echo Neuklang' gathers neo-kraut, kosmische and motorik sounds across four decades: a generation carrying the Cluster and Neu! lineage forward, sequencers humming into the present.

'Dreamland': more sunlit Berlin-school reverie from Tyndall. Interlocking sequencer patterns and glowing melody drift in gentle motion, private-press cosmic music of great warmth and innocence.

'Sunlight': Berlin duo Tyndall bathe their sequencers in warmth. Bright arpeggios and melodic synth lines glide through classic cosmic terrain, homemade German electronics of real charm, a cult reissue.

Estonian electronic pioneer Sven Grünberg reaches for the cosmos. 'Hingus' fuses shimmering synthesis with Eastern spiritual leanings: meditative, melodic and quietly euphoric. A Soviet-era kosmische treasure surfaced at last.

Chemist by day, synth explorer by night. Rüdiger Lorenz's 'Southland' glides on sunlit sequencer patterns and melodic warmth, homemade Berlin-school music of great charm, a cult private-press favourite reborn.

Trostel's sequencers turn contemplative. 'Two Faces' balances driving arpeggios with slower, reflective passages: melodic, precise cosmic music in the classic German mould. Quietly compelling analogue craftsmanship.

'Island music': Trostel maps a private electronic paradise. Warm sequencer motifs and glowing synth melody drift in unhurried loops, solitary, serene Berlin-school reverie from a cult German synthesist.

German synth mystic Rolf Trostel at the sequencer. 'Der Prophet' unfurls stately, hypnotic electronic patterns: solemn, melodic and deeply Berlin-school. A private-press cosmic gem returned to the light.

'Water in the wind': Roedelius conjures flowing, weightless keyboard music of great delicacy. Melodies drift and eddy like the title, serene, warm and quietly transporting. Solo kosmische at its most graceful.

The sixth Selbstportrait, a musical diary. Roedelius revisits fragile keyboard improvisations, each a small remembered moment: intimate, melodic and deeply personal. The ongoing self-portrait of a kosmische master.

From the vaults: essential early tapes, 1973-78, from Cluster and Harmonia's melodic soul. Home experiments and sketches reveal Roedelius inventing his gentle electronic language in real time, a treasure for the devoted.

Roedelius at the keyboard, alone and unguarded. 'Piano Piano' offers spare, melodic sketches of great intimacy: neoclassical in feeling, ambient in spirit. The quiet, human centre of a pioneering body of work.

A stroll for pleasure. 'Lustwandel' gathers Roedelius's graceful piano-and-synth miniatures, tender, unhurried and quietly luminous, a proto-ambient forerunner of everything gentle in electronic music. Timeless kosmische calm.

'Fly bird fly': Roedelius at his most songful and light. Gentle keyboard melodies flutter and loop with folk-like innocence, the warm, melodic heart of the Cluster co-founder's solo work. Radiant miniature music.

'Through the desert': Roedelius sets out on solitary electronic wandering. Spare, hypnotic keyboard figures and dry, shimmering textures conjure vast imaginary landscapes, early solo kosmische of quiet, questing beauty.

Kurt Dahlke's debut as Pyrolator. 'Inland' collides sequencers, tape and early synths in short, sharp electronic sketches: playful, political and DIY to the core. The inventive nerve-centre of Ata Tak and the NDW.

'Abroad': Pyrolator's imaginary world tour on synthesizer and tape. Kurt Dahlke maps invented territories in bright, restless electronics, witty, inventive and unmistakably Ata Tak. German new wave at its most curious.

The self-titled debut of Jaki Liebezeit's post-Can group. Motorik pulse meets echo, dub and electronic haze: loose, driving and deeply hypnotic. Krautrock's rhythmic genius stretching out on his own terms.

Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit's own vehicle. Phantom Band ride his inexhaustible groove into dubwise, hypnotic krautrock: spacious, propulsive and endlessly funky. Rhythm as pure hypnosis, from one of the great German drummers.

Baumann's brightest solo record. 'Trans Harmonic Nights' sets crisp sequencer motifs against warm melody: the Berlin-school grammar sharpened into concise, luminous electronic pop. Tangerine Dream's pop instinct, distilled.

The Tangerine Dream man's debut solo statement. 'Romance 76' splits between pulsing electronic sequences and orchestral romanticism: lush, melodic and forward-looking. A landmark of the Berlin school stepping toward song.

Tangerine Dream's keyboardist in solo flight. 'Nightfall' glides on elegant sequencer patterns and widescreen synth melody: the Berlin-school aesthetic at its most polished and songful. Cosmic music with a pop pulse.

An unlikely trio: Cluster's Moebius, Guru Guru's Mani Neumeier and Die Krupps' Jürgen Engler. 'Another Other Place' grinds electronics, percussion and industrial edge into taut, exploratory grooves, three generations of German sound in dialogue.

Cosmic bass explorer Michael Bundt goes fully electronic. 'Electri City' rides propulsive sequences and interstellar synth sweep: Berlin-school motion with a rock heart, a lost gem of German space music returned.
