Volume Two

by Kosmischer Läufer

supported by

Johannes Duckeck Die Zukunft war gestern! Favorite track: Morgenröte.

Micky68 Amazing Album ... if you like early 70ies Synth Music and Krautrock this is for you !! I think it goes more in the french direction of electronic music like Space Art, Michael Bundt, early Kraftwerk, La Düsseldorf ...

utdgrant Another great tribute to the Düsseldorf School sound of Neu and Kraftwerk. Meticulously authentic in every stylistic and audio detail. Favorite track: Morgenröte.

about

Kosmischer Läufer Berlin, Germany

For the first time since it was recorded in East Berlin over 40 years ago the music of Martin Zeichnete can finally be heard.
A disciple of the Kosmische Muzik of the likes of Kraftwerk, Can and Neu! that was drifting across the Wall from the West, Martin's idea of using the motorik, hypnotic beat of krautrock in the training of athletes was taken and exploited by the DDR's Olympic Committee. ... more

Interim Report, March 1979
by Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan

supported by 120 fans who also own “Volume Two”

This is probably my favourite album..when does it get a repress...soon I hope.. I get the same melancholia when I listen to this as I get when i hear the strains of a well drilled pit band drifting through the ether of my mind... these albums speak of and about the sociology of people and thier places in a crumbling socialistic infrastructure ,and of the industry that employs and shapes thier lives,in the current tense and also a nostalgic magical utopian tense of public information film christopherogley

People and Industry

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley

I first listened through this a couple years ago, and I don't know why I hadn't bought it until now. Regardless, I think everyone should listen through this in its entirety at least once, the best way I can describe it is beautifully haunting. I'm sure my favorite track will keep changing forever, too. sethgibbs
