Johannes Schmoelling was of course a member of the later day 1980's Tangerine Dream contibuting to classic albums like "Thief" ans "Exit". Wuivend Riet was Schmoelling's first solo album and has been a fan favourite for some time. Carelessly categorized and labeled under the New Age tag (oh god) this album is a wonder voyage into interstellar space.
The albums title is Dutch for "Wind Blown Reeds" and this sounds more like astral wind blown reeds to my thinking! This is a fantastic electronic voyage into some pretty cool space. I love side two with the warped and alien-like vocals. If you listen to this album with headphones on and turn down the light I think you will be totally mezmorized!
A hauntingly beautiful album !
