It can be very difficult to write about an artist with a reputation like
Edgar Froese
. Such thoughts can cloud one's judgment and objectivity. But
Froese
has not been on the e-music forefront for 30-plus years for nothing. He has stayed there because he is a great musician.
Pinnacles
showcases his penchant for gentle melodies, heavy sequences, and light atmospheres. This disc is firmly in the middle of the Berlin school, of which
is a founder. This CD will appeal to fans of
Alpha Wave Movement
,
Klaus Schulze
Dweller at the Threshold
, and
Radio Massacre International
. It is an important e-music CD. ~ Jim Brenholts
