Cosmic Ground, a new venture from Electric Orange keyboardist Dirk Jan Müller, walks some serious vintage ground. Employing Müller’s arsenal of equipment with a ‘no MIDI necessary’ mission, Cosmic Ground takes the Wayback Machine deep into the heart of a Tangerine Dreamscape.
Cosmic Ground superbly conjures up those spirits in a throbbing and pulsating rubber cauldron. Müller stirs in mysterious psychedelic overtones with deep beating soundscapes to flood the electronic sounds with coursing warmth and blood. There are no guitars or drums, so if you come for Müller’s name alone expecting Electric Orange, you’ll be wonderfully disappointed. This isn’t an off-shoot off Electric Orange, or a one-man version, but through Müller they are deeply tied together. His role in Electric Orange’s own spacious sound is vital, but to hear it given this much room to breathe and flux, to push in further making the crevices become caverns, is a joy. It’s also a revelation to a certain degree, showing how intrinsic his role to Electric Orange is … if anyone out there doubted it.
Nothing here clocks in under 14 minutes, and the 33+ minute centerpiece Ground doubles up for its length without succumbing to any noodling or frivolousness. Nothing here does. Equally droning and dynamic, Cosmic Ground is sumptuously realized, executed and enveloping. Similar to a point that was brought up recently with Rob Byrd’s Soul Spaces here—though a whole other animal and cosmos—you can release Cosmic Ground into the background to wrap around your head, but you’ll quickly find it has enticed you to willingly seep into a much bigger panorama … one Müller can stimulate into never-ending expansion while we enjoy being both participant and voyager.
With the project Cosmic Ground, German synthesist Dirk Jan Müller decided to return to the origin of pure electronic music like he’d done in the early '90s. In the previous 22 years, he had been a member of the psychedelic/krautrock band Electric Orange, where vintage gear and assorted electronics also played an important role.
For this project though it was time for something different, as the composer decided not to use any guitars or drums. Instead, he fully relied on his experience and trusted collection of vintage gear (including modulars, organs and assorted instruments of analogue origin) to compose his sequencer-driven tracks alongside passages of dronescapes and ambient/choir textures.
Like Brendan Pollard, Redshift, the classic TD line-up and others working with such gear only, everything was triggered and played by hand, making things happen in the moment as not the slightest MIDI was used during the whole recording process. The massive, pounding and almost constantly modulated sequencer-patterns alone already kick ass.
The further outcome awakens great spirits and captivating moods from the early and mid ’70’s, featuring this lovely grainy and melancholic sound spectrum. There’s a great drive and emotive trail found in each of the four tracks, all displaying a variety of powerful, evocative and tantalizing sounds plus loads of mesmerizing white noise. On the 33-minute "Ground", quite some psychedelic musings and not too subtle interludes are encountered in the mid-section as the track further unfolds and evolves in mysterious directions. Psychedelic soundscaping also starts off on "The Plague", slowly transforming to more dreamy flavors.
It left me quite flabbergasted and with glowing ears in the end. Listening to these 78 minutes of music with headphones is a real blast, revealing even more detail, hypnotizing waves and intrinsic movements.
All in all, Cosmic Ground’s self-titled debut is an impressive and highly recommended recording that no vintage-fan should miss out on. Bravo Dirk Jan!
P.S Each factory-pressed cd comes with a download-code for the full album, which offers one more track as a bonus.

So wie in den 90ern? [...]
