Udo Hanten
and
Albin Meskes
, the Krefeld duo collectively known as
You
, played their way into the elite of the German electronic music scene with their first two albums
Electric Day
(1979) (BB 073CD/LP) and
Time Code
(1983) (BB 074CD/LP). Reissued by Bureau B in 2011, the pair of albums caused quite a stir both in the media and amongst afficionados of the so-called Berlin School (
Tangerine Dream
,
Klaus Schulze
, etc.). Their fourth album,
Laserscape
, consists of music created for the laser performances of the same name by the artist
Horst H. Baumann
. Having met Udo Hanten during a film project in 1981, Baumann approached him with the idea of collaborating in 1985. He wanted a lavish soundscape to match his open-air installations and You fit the bill perfectly. Their first joint event on August 31, 1985 was a resounding success: 10,000 attended the "Philips Laserscape KrYou." Berlin's SFB radio station recorded the concert for broadcast on their "Steckdose" (power socket) program, subtitled "computer music -- music from the computer." Naturally, it made sense to put together a
Laserscape
album of pieces composed for the various laser events. Some were recorded in Berlin at
Christoph Franke
's studio (of Tangerine Dream fame), most were completed at You's own studio. The music resembles the laser events: simultaneously dark and dazzling. Multilayered drones, some over 13 minutes long, evocative of
Blade Runner
's menacing atmosphere, sometimes laced with driving, pulsating sequences, typical of the so-called Berlin School. A drum, or rather a drum computer, was used on only one track. You remained true to their spirit of experimentation by enlisting the services of classical guitarist
Jaime Zenamon
on two compositions.
