[Grosses Wasser] [Cluster] [LP] [1979] . If the cover design says something about the content, then the cover fits Cluster's "Grosses Wasser" very well. The music is minimalistic like the cover. . Moebius and Roedelius are known for their minimalistic sound structures in their solo projects as well as in their various collaborations, e.g. with Brian Eno. . "Grosses Wasser" (great water) is not a pure electronic album. A Steinway grand piano is used as well as human voices, percussion, guitar and electric bass. The two artists knew how to use the most modern electronics available at the time, provided by producer Peter Baumann. . Here the whole greatness of their skills shows. Used sparingly but purposefully, the electronics together with the acoustic instruments make up the special charm of this album. . While listening to this record I never actually saw water but I see myself lying on a green meadow. Above me the sky is dotted with beautiful huge clouds that tell new mysterious stories as I pass by, but stop, in the far distance I hear sounds that resemble those of a "big water", maybe a lake with all its life and scenarios... .
