Cluster & Eno - "Ho Renomo" (c/ montagem de imagens

"In the late summer of 1976, Brian Eno took up an eighteen-month-old invitation and travelled to West Germany to commune with his friends Joachim 'Achim' Roedelius and Dieter 'Mobi' Moebius of Cluster. The duo, plus their Harmonia colleague, Michael Rother, their girlfriends and an extended 'family' of creative comrades, were now living in splendid isolation in a huddle of picturesque, if draughty, wood-beamed farm buildings in the hamlet of Forst, close to a wide curve of the river Weser. (...) Eno quickly fell into step with Forst's relaxed, hermetic regimen: 'It wasn't like a hippy commune but there was an agreement that if we were going to make music together, we should share our lives together - the music should come out of the way we live', Eno later recalled. 'It has to be the thing that we constantly revolve around and refer back to. It was a nice period, we worked as the mood took us and came up with tons of stuff'" (On Some Faraway Beach - The Life And Times Of Brian Eno de David Sheppard)
