Klaus Weiss – Open Space Motion (Underscores) (Coloursound)

Description

A drummer for hire who headed up many of his own ensembles too, German musician Klaus Weiss became associated with a particularly funky strain of library music, characterised by his hard-hitting playing. His 1981 album ‘Open Space Motion: Underscores’, however, is a total outlier in this regard, completely devoid of percussion and instead presaging the mood of chill-out music and blue rooms the best part of a decade before such ideas became widely understood.
