Rother, Michael
Solo (6lp)
When it comes to the world of Krautrock, Michael Rother stands as a true legend. Besides once being in an early rendition of Kraftwerk, the German music hero helped lead celebrated group's Neu! and Harmonia, with the latter even once recording an entire collaborative album with ambient great Brian Eno. But besides this lengthy list of accomplishments, Rother also has released a long series of solo albums - and it's those works that will now be celebrated with an expansive new box set. The set includes Rother's first four -and arguably best- solo albums, collecting 1977's 'Flammende Herzen', 1978's 'Sterntaler', 1979's 'Katzenmusik' and 1982's 'Fernwärme'. In addition, the box set will include previously unreleased material, including Rother's more recent scores to the films 'Die Raeuber' and 'Houston' on one disc, as well as another disc of remixes and live tracks.
