I already talked about Robert Schroeder's music a couple of years ago, when I reviewed his Food For Fantasy latest release. Then I didn't know how much faceted his music could be and honestly I was curious to check his purest electronic music vein he was famous for (there was a reason why Klaus Schulze decided to promote him after discovering him). With his newest album CREAM, Robert Schroeder is back to his roots ideally linking this album to his 1979 debut ""Harmonic ascendant" thanks to six long tracks of analog electronic music (the shorter one is 8 minutes long while the longest one, the double). The album opens with "Magnetics", a tune based on a funky bass line with spacey pads perfect to start the voyage. "Groove electronically" sees Robert delivering a piano sonata enriched by vocal samples, choirs and lovely analog pads. LIttle by little this track grows thanks to upbeat drum rhythms and various synth arpeggios. "The zong" starts being menacing and experimental just to turn into a samba tune for aliens. "Funky spacetrip" sounds like an house mid tempo written in the 70s with cool vocoder filtered vocals and moog like solos. "Foaming waves" is perfect for a soundtrack: try to imagine a desolated place where wind and sand corrode the lands. Based on a guitar arpeggio with the add of lovely synth effects and a light drum beat it grows slowly like a wave of lava. The closing "Simply cream" is a great 16 minutes classic electronic music tune with many synth layers, rhythm changes and warm atmospheres. Classic and also with modern intuitions, CREAM made me discover the classic Robert Schroeder's and I'm glad it did!
