Two Piers
Various Artists - Kosmische Psychédélique (Motorik, Astral and Avant-Garde Musik from Deutschland and Beyond 1970–2025) Various Artists
Kosmische Psychédélique’, released on Two-Piers, takes you on a journey through the hypnotic world of Kosmische Musik — from the pioneering motorik beats, electronic experimentation and psychedelic sounds of early 1970s Deutschland to the contemporary artists continuing to explore its astral, ambient and avant-garde possibilities today.
Stretching from the early 1970s to the present day, this is a journey through motorik rhythms, electronic experimentation, psychedelic drift and avant-garde ambience that traces a line from the pioneering sounds of Germany's Kosmische underground to a new generation of artists still exploring the possibilities of repetition, texture and space.
The journey begins with La Düsseldorf's “Silver Cloud”, immediately establishing the album's sense of forward motion and weightless euphoria, before NEU!'s “Neuschnee” and Harmonia's “Deluxe (Immer Weider)” remind us just how radical simplicity could sound. The hypnotic propulsion of the motorik beat is never treated as an end in itself; rather, it becomes a vehicle for exploring increasingly strange and spacious territory.
