Musik von Harmonia is the debut album from the influential German krautrock group Harmonia, released in January 1974 by Brain Records. Formed by the addition of Neu! guitarist Michael Rother to Cluster (the duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius), they recorded the album from June to November 1973 in Cluster's Forst recording studio. It was self-produced by the group using a primitive mixer and three tape recorders. In 1973, Cluster were living in the rural West German village of Forst when Neu! guitarist Michael Rother visited, hoping the duo would serve as a backing band for Neu! live performances. Upon jamming with Moebius and Roedelius, Rother claimed that "it was sort of a musical love at first sight, really it was just something I hadn’t experienced before." He dropped his plans and remained in Forst to record with the duo as Harmonia. Rother would also bring some of his equipment, including Farfisa organs, a stereo mixer, and an Elka Drummer One rhythm machine. The LP's pop art-styled sleeve artwork was designed by Moebius and resembles an advertisement for a cleaning fluid.
