Curiosum

Released

Possibly mentioned less often because it’s such a focused album, but Curiosum is some pure synthesis stuff. Roedelius and Moebius did not often let sequencers do their work for them, and they kept their hands on their machines. Curiosum feels like the work of two synthesizers and little else, all concentrated analog sounds and deep, dark tape distortion. Way undervalued, this one.
