Cluster is a multi-instrumental and electronics duo formed in 1971 in Berlin. Originally part of the trio Kluster, their early recordings were experimental and on the edge of Krautrock. Collaborations with Michael Rother from Neu! led to a more musical direction for Cluster. They also worked with Brian Eno and explored various styles. Although they went on hiatus in 1981, Cluster has reformed multiple times. Both members have also been active with solo works and other projects.

originally released in 1976, cluster's 4th album re-issued. the evocative toybox melodies (usually the roedelius compositions) on 1974's 'zuckerzeit' reached their peak with 'sowiesoso', courtesy of ambling pieces like 'dem wanderer,' the title track, and the vaguely oriental 'halwa.' the drum programs are still irresistibly simplistic (not to say simple), but even when 'sowiesoso' stretches out into primarily beatless terrain ('es war einmal,' 'zum wohl'), the album retains its power.
