Harald Grosskopf & Umit Han - Magnetfeld [CD]

"Harald Grosskopf is a living legend of progressive Krautrock and electronic music, known far beyond the borders of Germany. His career, spanning over five decades, ranges from his beginnings with the German progressive Krautrock band Wallenstein, his collaboration with Klaus Schulze and Manuel Göttsching, the release of his seminal solo album Synthesist (1980, Sky Records) to his great live successes in front of audiences of over 30,000, such as at the Metamorphose Festival 2008 (Japan) or most recently in 2024 at the Plain District Festivals in Beijing and Xi'an (China). Harald Grosskopf's music has inspired DJs, producers and artists around the world, including Cologne-based DJ, composer and sound artist Ümit Han. The two have now worked together for the first time in recent months, crossing generational boundaries. The result is the album Magnetfeld. For Harald Grosskopf, it is a further chapter in his impressive career; for the techno musician Ümit Han, it is a step into new musical spheres; and for the listener, it is a new encounter of the electronic kind."
