Cluster – Konzerte 1972/1977

Posted on May 25, 2017 by YorkshireNed

My eyebrows raised when I saw this one announced – live vintage Cluster? The very notion flusters the brain because their albums mostly sound like the result of using the studio as an instrument. Yet, here it is and it … Continue reading →
