about

A German multi-instrumentalist who grew up during the Krautrock era and created a musical genre all his own as "Nekropolis", inspired by 1970's bands like Amon Düül, Can, Kluster, the unique fusion of Magma (Jannick Top's bass style), classical and electronic musics. Peter's Nekropolis music is dark, often surreal, vivid, and even nightmarish experience, although highly musical. This is the darkest and most vivid of his 2 Auricle tapes, with thick layers analogue and digital synths, arpeggios, and complex developments, in two lengthy vivid 'picture music' excursions. This remastered CDR limited edition is even more vivid and powerful, revealing hidden detail originally lost via cassette duplication.

original cassette review...
...the two tracks here are sonic interpretations of Verne literary works. "Mysterious Island" is a cyclic exploration of synthetic territory that develops in a very eerie fashion. Synths serve as a backdrop for some surprising acoustic guitar and piano themes ... ultimately fusing with the electronics into a swirling sea of sound that climaxes with a startling apocalypse. "Nautilus" on the other hand is more purely electronic and atmospheric, like an aquatic voyage to the bottom of a sonic sea.
[by Archie Patterson in Eurock]
