Peter Baumann - Nightfall
by Tom Ojendyk
As one of the pioneers of the kosmiche/cosmic sound, Peter Baumann is best known for playing with the legendary Tangerine Dream in the 70s and for performing on some of their greatest albums. His first solo album since 2016’s Machines of Desire, Nightfall, continues his hot streak with eight tracks of fantastic, introspective, and forward-thinking electronic music. Baumann’s philosophical pursuits over the decades have informed his music through his curious nature, and the melodies and movements unfold in spectacular fashion. As one of the earlier proponents of electronic music, Baumann continues to innovate and develop as an artist rather than resting on his status; Nightfall is a testament to his enduring creativity and passion for exploring new sonic landscapes.
