"Swiss-born Dieter Moebius studied
art in Brussels and Berlin, where he met Hans-Joachim Roedelius and
Conrad Schnitzler. In 1969 the three founded Kluster, which after two
years and three records, Roedelius and Moebius continued as Cluster,
whose work is easily as earth-shaking, and relevant today as that of
Can, Tangerine Dream, Neu!, Faust, Kraftwerk and company. Moebius has
always been more interested in straightforward motorized or handmade
rhythms and the use of electronic, eccentric and unpredictable
machine noises. Blotch, his 2nd solo album, following Tonspuren,
released 16 years ago, was produced in March/Arpil of 1999 in
Moebius' minimal studio in Berlin. Performed with a Korg Prophecy and
an EMU Orbit, it was recorded with a Yamaha eight-track cassette
recorder."
