KRAFTWERK RETURNS? Wayne Alpern: Secular Rituals

Using a wide variety of electronics, Wayne Alpern creates a panoply of soundscapes on this “digitally created” album. The return of the 70s-80s techno band Kraftwerk is felt on the busy keyboard pulse of “Utopia” with harplike voicings for “Schenker’s Dream”. Electronic voices hover over the snap of Sista Re”, while synthesizers go baroque on “Bach CMP”. Symphonic moods take you for a ride on “Millennium” and things swirl around like a tornado for “Brave” . Which way to the Autobahn?
