roedelius

40 years after its predecessor, Roedelius has raised history in just the nick of time with this delightfully wending palette of electronics & piano.

the 'wahre liebe' (true love) album was commissioned by gunther buskies, who wanted to know if the elderly roedelius, armed with vintage tools, was capable of "beaming back" to his youthful years, reaching into the sonic past of the self-portrait series to deliver similarly persuasive results. what better proof could there be that true love, age-old love never dies? sure enough, this album successfully and seamlessly connects with its antecedents. miniatures, improvisations, atmospheric images and dreamlike introspections of an individualist are articulated in that innate roedelius language which is at once brittle and as light as a whisper, a pastel ribbon weaving its way softly through the full range of sonic topographies.
