about this album
"Cluster 71" is the title that appears on 1980 and 1996 reissues of the album. The original 1971 release was simply self-titled: http://www.last.fm/music/Cluster/Cluster Both tags are correct. “Cluster 71” is the eponymous first full-length album by German Experimental music outfit Cluster. It is also the only album on which Conrad Plank is credited as a member. Cluster was recorded at Star-Studio in Hamburg, Germany in January, 1971. Cluster began a transition away from the discordant, proto-industrial sound of Kluster towards a more electronic sound. Russ Curry of Curious Music credited Conny Plank with the change of direction, describing it as having “…continued the commitment to improvisation but developed a focus on sound structure. …” Instrumentation included a pair of organs, Hawaiian guitar, cello, and audio generators, all played by Moebius and Roedelius, all of which were electronically treated by Conny Plank.
