Conrad Schnitzler - Blau (1974)

Early Schnitzler in his second solo LP, comprising two side-long tracks.  Die Rebellen Haben Sich In Den Bergen Versteckt looks forward to the increasingly rhythmic electronics that Schnitzler would produce in the late 70s - early 80s, clanking its way forwards whilst other synth burbles are overlaid until a mournful-sounding guitar figure is introduced.  
 
Jupiter is more appropriately cosmic, with Schnitzler's synths floating around in a dark, gaseous echosphere, and what sounds like a wordless vocal towards the end.  According to Asmus Tietchens' liner notes, Schnitzler's old Kluster bandmates Moebius and Roedelius are featured on this album - I'm not entirely sure where though, it all sounds like classic early period Schnitzler to me.
