Dieter Salbert's Klangszenen from 1984 [+ reup 1976]

This 1984 follow up to Musica Phantastica is at least as good.  Of course I was reminded it when a reader asked for a reup of the older album, from October 2013, almost two years ago.
The same crazy or rather I should say phantasmagorical female voice is present in both records, it belongs to Alrun Zahoransky.
Dieter has a website here.


So here are both records.

Progressive Hallowe'en music at its most phantastic: Dieter Salbert's Musica Phantastica... (1976)

Mr. Dieter Salbert was a serious composer but this album definitely can be classified as progressive rock in its most advanced form.  On this album he plays synthesizers and the beautiful and sometimes eerie operatic voice of Alrun Zahoransky complements some tracks.  A sound similar to a theremin plays many of the melodies giving the music an outer space or spooky horror movie feeling.  Please note that 2 of the odes are poems written by the wonderful Pablo Neruda, although translated into German.   We will hear more from Neruda shortly in another highly creative album, this time from Scandinavia, keep checking back for that one.

Salbert's album Klangszenen from 1984 is excellent (provided you enjoyed this one), in a similar vein, and well worth seeking out as well.

I sampled the shortest track, Ode An Den Duft Des Holzes:
