专辑介绍
by Glenn Swan
Pete Namlook and Klaus Schulze join forces again for Dark Side of the Moog IX, an unchallenging assembly of ambient music that's both easy to listen to and interesting. The album sounds effortless, hearkening back to a simpler time in electronica before laptops and nanosecond editing effects dominated the genre. For better or for worse, Namlook sticks to his old habits for a more leisurely trip toward tomorrow-land. Thus, &Set the Controls for the Heart of the Mother& reveals itself patiently in six parts. Both part one and three are melodic tapestries of soft sequencers and shuffling percussion à la Tangerine Dream, with simple chords hovering in moderate proximity. Part two growls in suspended animation, like the ringing of a gong that's still in liquid form as white noise caramelizes the edges. Similarly, part four is a brief and formless chorus of mist, exhaling in loops. These two passages are a welcome sorbet for the ears, adding an element of mystery without being abrasive. Furthermore, it breaks up the pace of tracks that might sound even more similar if they were placed back to back. The disc closes with part five and six, lush chords shifting with subdued romanticism reminiscent of an Equinoxe-era Jean Michel Jarre. Six finishes out the thought in drumless contemplation before orange seafoam washes the disc into complete silence. With a relatively narrow scope of sounds, listeners will no doubt feel as if they've heard this music before, but with an album title that refers to the first commercially available synthesizer, no doubt that's part of the point.

- @王浊安(我还我不想就这样和你说再...)：嗯
- @rhetttsai(其后)：～
- @邹星兆(形成宇宙)：前半部分是Pete熟悉的合成器味道，也延续这个系列的一贯风格。精彩的是后半部分，仿佛顿时跌进了隐秘的梦境，音符一顿一扬，故事也连绵不绝接踵而至，我觉得铺底的很可能是Klaus。特别是最后10分钟，感觉拉开了幕布，跳进了台后，并深深步能自拔。我认为这张专辑仅次于该系列的7号作品。
