Album Notes & Community Reviews

The pioneering Berlin School synthesist collaborated with Andreas Grosser for this dense, purely instrumental electronic suite. 'Babel' features sprawling, hypnotic sequences and vast atmospheric synthesizer washes characteristic of Schulze's most celebrated work. The album serves as a triumphant, spiritual exploration of classic analog and early digital soundscapes.
