Label GB

the third moebius and plank album re-issued. moebius (ex kluster, cluster, harmonia), conny plank and mani neumeier (guru guru). the original lp was released on sky records in 1983. recorded at conrad plank's studio in 1982, 'zero set' is a highly percussive affair with mani neumeier. the album is saturated in drum and synth rhythms and polyrhythms, resulting in compositions that are energetic and infectious. the opener, 'speed display,' is the granddaddy of them all. this superb, driving piece of synth-krautrock showcases neumeier's percussive 'speed display,' so to speak. the following cut, 'load,' seems almost borne of the first, with an obscure synthesized vocal, steady percussion flourishes, synth spritzes, and industrial overtones. 'recall' is reminiscent of early can and features a sudanese vocal, and the closing track, 'search zero,' is representative of the entire project: a quirky, percussive, progressive synth-rock composition. 'zero set' is impressive; to date, it's possibly the most interesting project on which the three musicians have worked.
