Two albums by Berlin legend Rolf Trostel on CD

Bureau B releases two classic albums by Rolf Trostel.

DER PROPHET

Electronic Pop was the musical goal of the Berlin School musician Rolf Trostel on his third album, which was released in the same year as its predecessor ,Two Faces". ,Der Prophet" is the culmination of this phase of Trostels oeuvre, which was tightly coupled to the PPG Wave Computer.

INSELMUSIK

Rolf Trostel is a protagonist of the so-called Berliner Schule / Berlin School (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze). On his first album "Inselmusik" (1981) he explores the sonic possibilities of the recently introduced PPG wavetable synthesizer. The music is based on live performances from the late 1970s by Trostel and Krautrock guitarist Guenter Schickert.
