Cluster, the legendary German duo of Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius, stands as one of the most influential forces in electronic music, helping to shape the sounds of ambient and kosmische musik. Japan Live, released by Bureau B in 2015, captures the duo in full improvisational form during their June 1996 concert tour, with cuts recorded at iconic Tokyo and Osaka venues. The result is an immersive document of two electronic music pioneers at work, wielding synthesizers, prepared tape material, and effect machines to create something entirely their own.
Making its vinyl debut with this Bureau B release, Japan Live is a reworked version of the originally released 1997 recording, now presented on 180g high-quality vinyl with new artwork and issued under exclusive license from Moebius and Roedelius themselves. The performances showcase the duo's signature approach — Moebius shaping textures through the Korg Prophecy and Proteus SFX while Roedelius weaves in elements as varied as a Yamaha Piano and Windchimes — resulting in an atmospheric and deeply textured live experience that fans of experimental and electronic music will find endlessly rewarding.
