	Michael Rother at curved-air.com
		Rother’s multi-tracked guitars ring from the plaintive to the screaming in the upper registers, layered around four different five-note melodies that recur either as single string statements triple-track or stark chords supporting them.
		Rother’s re-harmonizing of his original melody throughout the piece in various segments has a mirroring effect over its 37 minutes; it’s as if we are taken into the nether-side of his composition and feel its various spaces and textures from all angles.
		Michael Rother has gotten close to this with many of his albums, but this one is singular in its achievement, a perfect melding of taste, dynamics, pace, melodic invention, emotional and spiritual honesty, all woven into the spirit of rock & roll.

		Michael Rother's second solo album, follow-up to "Flammende Herzen", sounds like the second half of a double album.
		Some critics have compared Rother's music of this period to early Oldfield music, but there are more differences in my opinion : there are no folk influences in sight (typical of classic Oldfield of the seventies)and the use of minimalist forms and electronica places Rother's style on the classic german school.
		Rother's music is not so avant garde than say Neu or Cluster, but it is made with style avoiding the pigeon hole of easy listening (say New Age).

		Rother's solo music is mellow, light and airy with a flair for new age synth pads, samples and piano.
		Rother has gradually shifted from guitar to electronic based compositions over the past 20 years and now seems to favor shorter tracks, most clocking in at under 4 minutes.

		Last night’s performance sustained the intimacy of a band toying around in their rehearsal space, when the chemistry among its members is purest, within long procedural evolutions of songs, and when the priceless “eureka!” moments occur.
		But had Michael Rother glanced up, even just for a moment to gauge the audience’s reaction, he would have seen the awestruck faces of perhaps the most earnest and reverent audiences one could possibly be a part of.
		Rother played with Benjamin Curtis (of The Secret Machines) and Josh Klinghoffer (who has played before with Beck, John Frusciante, and PJ Harvey) who should not go without note.

	Michael Rother
		Often labelled as “Godfather of ambient” Michael Rother in the course of his musical career has experienced – and indeed he survived – quite a few attempts to quote him as “godparent” to numerous styles of modern electronic music.
		So far Rother’s output has sold by a good 1 million units (his ‘77 solo debut “Flammende Herzen” even inspired German filmmaker Walter Bockmayer’s cult-movie of the same name) and is echoed in the late-nineties’ works of post-techno electronic artists such as Underworld and The Chemical Brothers.
		On “Esperanza” all of Rother’s musical strengths were combined: those magic trance-beats and romantic yet “no cliché” melodies; a perfect combination of synthesized/sampled sounds and so-called “natural” musical instruments; those minimal loops, always feeling organic and therefore sounding like everything was played in real-time.

		As Frusciante and Rother helixed guitars around hypnotic octave builds, Klinghoffer was often responsible for the rise and fall of the song's arc, blasting through the pre-programmed electronics with loose flashiness.
		Frusciante and Rother's guitar parts intertwined so often it was hard to tell who was playing what, the two playing thirds against each other before one or the other of them would venture into high registers, replicating the song's themes over pre-recorded strings, bass and synths triggered on a laptop by Rother.
		Rother was smart to choose his choppiest wordless grooves for this show.

	MICHAEL ROTHER Fernwaerme review by philippe(Philippe Blache)
		This album is a good listen if you appreciate the original sound of Rother's three first.
		This is maybe the last memorable work he made in solo until the new musical orientation taken recently (not only in solo but also with great collaborations with others artists as Moebius).
		For those who are not familiar with Michael Rother solo work I only advise his first "Flammende Herzen" which sums up almost all his discography.

		Their output can effectively be grouped into two periods: the first, encompassing the first two albums and the "Neuschnee"/"Super" single, and the second following Michael Rother's first album with Harmonia, and with the addition of Thomas Dinger and Hans Lampe as members.
		After Rother's departure, the remaining three members changed the group's name to "La Dusseldorf" and continued to record under that name for two more albums and a further EP.

		Cluster was experimenting both with the capabilities of their instruments and also with the song format, stretching it into a new direction, one which reflected the industrialism and pace of the post-World War II era.
		Michael Rother, too, found the need to express himself musically in ways that weren't available to him in Neu!.
		Perhaps Eno's reason for praising Harmonia so highly was that their music fit the requirements of ambient rock.

	Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage \| Unsung \| The Book of Seth \| Michael Rother - Sterntaler
		Rother is credited with a battery of instruments (guitar, piano, bass, vibraphone, Hawaiian guitar, synthesizer, strings) but it’s not the least bit muddled, fussy or overdone.
		Here Rother plays echoed vibes as lightly-struck percussion resound over Rother’s backseat snatches of guitar melody that pick up where the vibes trail off, like gentle foreplay on a warm Mediterranean night.
		This album stands alongside his work with NEU!, Harmonia and his “Zuckerzeit” associations as final proof of not only of his vast instrumental facility, but his keen ear for both melody and arrangement—which on this album are about as vast as the aural vistas he captures so perfectly.

		THEY may have stopped short of laying beach towels on the stage, but German synth-art pioneers Michael Rother and Dieter Moebius did at least meet their country's stereotype for being very punctual.
		From his early work with the pioneering Krautrock band Cluster to his later solo recordings, Dieter Moebius (Rother's long-term live accomplice) became known as one of the most innovative and prolific voices in contemporary electronic music, anticipating movements from ambient to techno years before the fact.
		Despite the fact Moebius was sitting behind a bank of computers and Rother was meddling with innumerable electronic gadgets, the music on Saturday's gig was still very organic and a great deal more human than any number of guitar bands.
