Album review: Conrad Schnitzler – ‘Paracon: The Paragon Session Outtakes 1978-1979’ – more solid-state wizardry from the Kluster genius’s archives

  • March 21, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
Outtakes these nominally may be, but a decade on these tracks would have all seen a parallel life in the 12" and the like; a format which was only just starting to find its viability Stateside at this point in the Seventies. And remember not just that these ten tracks are culled from a year or more's intense creative fire, but that those sessions gave birth to three albums. It's an album for intense post-dusk savouring, soundscapes to fall sideways down the rabbit hole into, deep and otherworldly sonic immersion from one of the greatest electronic music brains.
