The German Electronics artist Robert Schroeder (discovered 1978 by EM pioneer Klaus Schulze) has produced numerous excellent solo CDs as well as his success album Double Fantasy / Universal Ave., which reached the US Charts in the end of the 80s. The music of Robert Schroeder is various, but always soulful. He combines spherical synthesizer sounds with modern rhythm-mical contrasts, often supplemented by spacey guitars and sometimes also by piano, cello or voices. Schroeder's music spectrum includes Electronic, Ambient, Chill-Out, Lounge, Adventure and Trip-Hop. Electronic Music in the widest sense is the musical style of this artist who has his roots in the music of Klaus Schulze, Can and Pink Floyd. This release (2016) is a 69 minutes lasting work and provides very experimental and "electronic" Music. For Robert this is one further milestone on his way back to the roots of EM. Surprising effects, sharp contrasts, spherical excursions, extraordinary sequencer arrangements, new sound effects, dreamy, playful, exciting and very varying ... these are the ingredients of the new CD Ambient Occlusion, which apparently of course show Robert's facilities and sometimes you will be captured by the atmospheres of the early 80s. Schroeder's music is incomparable and unique. It combines very spherical and surrealistic elements with beautiful concrete catchy melodies. EM pioneer Klaus Schulze said once to the music of Robert: "If there is any contemporary romantic music, then it is this from Robert Schroeder." Robert regards this claim as quite confirmed on his new album Ambient Occlusion. Ambient Occlusion is a term from the world of 3D-animation and refers to the dark areas on the edge of all objects that meet with another object. It can be better understood as the aura of an object, as a shadow. Please take your time for listening and enjoy your journey through the music. have much fun.
