1978, I was at my grand parent's place somewhere near Duesseldorf, I had just watched "time machine / Zeitmaschine" by H. G. Wells on tv then listened to this wonderful song on my analogue cassette recorder. I was 13, life was exciting, now it's 2022 and I still love this song

Hypnotisch und sphärisch: das einzige Soloalbum des Düsseldorfer Elektronikers. Die Musikerlaufbahn von Wolfgang Riechmann (1947-1978) begann in den 60er Jahren. Er arbeitete u. a. schon 1967 mit Michael Rother (Neu!) und Wolfgang Flühr (Kraftwerk) in der Schülerband Spirits Of Sound, später in der Düsseldorfer Amateurband Phön-x und mit der Gruppe Streetmark. 1977 begann er sein erstes und leider einziges Soloalbum aufzunehmen. »Wunderbar« enthält Elemente der Berliner (Tangerine Dream) und der Düsseldorfer Schule (Kraftwerk, La Düsseldorf, Neu!). Trotzdem kreiert der Multiinstrumentalist seine eigenen hypnotischen und sphärischen Qualitäten.

Riechmann - Wunderbar (1978) Ένα υπέροχο «διαμάντι» της γερμανικής ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής που δεν χωράει τόσο υπό την ομπρέλα του krautrock, αλλά σίγουρα αντλεί αρκετά στοιχεία από το όλο είδος. Στο εκλεκτικό «Wunderbar» διακρίνεται ο απόηχος από τη λεγόμενη «Σχολή του Βερολίνου» (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze κ.ά.), καθώς και η σαφής επιρροή της λεγόμενης «Σχολής του Ντίσελντορφ» (Neu!, Kraftwerk, La Düsseldorf), ενώ την ίδια στιγμή ο δίσκος αυτός αποτέλεσε και την βασική επιρροή για πλείστα άλλα συγκροτήματα που ξεκινούσαν τότε την καριέρα τους, όπως οι Human League της εποχής του «Reproduction» και οι Ultravox της εποχής του «Vienna». Ένα άλμπουμ, όμορφο και τραγικό εξίσου, καθώς ο Riechmann έπεσε θύμα επίθεσης με μαχαίρι μόλις τρεις εβδομάδες πριν από την κυκλοφορία του LP και πέθανε προτού προλάβει να το δει στα δισκοπωλεία.

Julian cope is a fan ... Wunderbar is a wunderful album. If you like Man Machine era Kraftwerk then you'll love this. Wolfgang looks extremely cool on the cover despite wearing blue lipstick (I kid you not !) In the 60's Wolfgang was in Spirits of Sound with Wolfgang Flur later of Kraftwerk. In the 70's Wolfgang played a major role in Streetmark's classic album 'Eileen'. However, 'Eileen' was not a huge commercial success and so Wolfgang was full of doubts about his own abilities when he set about recording Wunderbar. The opening track of the album is the title track 'Wunderbar' which is ultra-catchy. They must put something in the water in Dusseldorf which results in superb melodies. Another standout track is 'Siberland' which is effectively a slowed down version of Kraftwerk's 'Metropolis' from Man Machine. The parallel here is interesting as Man Machine and Wunderbar were both recorded in 1978, although I don't know which one hit the shops first. Who is copying who ? 'Himmelblau' would not sound out of place on a La Dusseldorf album. Clearly Dinger and Rother have based their whole career around songs which feature the words 'La' and 'Dusseldorf'. In the case of 'Himmelblau' Riechmann goes one step further by only using the word 'La' in the lyrics. Simplicity is best. The album finishes with a short omninous sounding instrumental. Sadly, shortly after Wunderbar was recorded Wolfgang was murdered (having been stabbed in a Dusseldorf barroom brawl). This is a great shame as judging by the evidence of Wunderbar, Wolfgang could have gone on to great things.

I'm sorry everyone but after finding this incredible pre-Numan/Berserker picture sleeve, I'm thinking no way should this be mentioned in the same breath as the great Kosmiche Music artists. It's not stark enough to be robotic, nor empty enough to be ambient but certainly it's derivative and dispensible. To describe the bloke as a virtuoso is a joke. It sounds like he's crept into Kling Klang and dicked around playing pentatonic scales ad lib on Kraftwerk's instruments while they're out on their lunchbreak. No I won't be buying this one.

mr. or mss. ichlotzTV....with all do respect.... wether you think this music is boring or not I do not want to argue... I only want you to consider this....this music was composed and played in a area when there was little understanding about electronic music... the most prominent figures in those days took it from a ( lets say) symphonic angle...Mr Riechmann explored a more minimalistic way, which (in hindsight I dare to say) went shoulder to shoulder with the punk attitude in rock music ( like Neu, Cluster)...Now..I do not want to lecture you in what you should or shouldn't like....music is (and must stay) a personal experience.... but I would like to state that Mr Riechmann deserves a place in ( musical) history......................love you anyways
