sleeve : EX(wear on corner.)
The first album released in 1982 by guitarist Roli Muller, based in Nuremberg, Germany. This is a solo performance piece featuring 6-string and 12-string acoustic guitars, showcasing pastoral and lyrical landscapes rooted in country and folk, much like the German guitar music known through artists such as Martin Kolbe + Ralf Illernberger, who left a masterpiece on Moog Records, and Wolfgang Barthel, whose name became known in the modern era through compilations released by Growing Bin Records. This lesser-known album presents a New Age acoustic music style, reminiscent of artists like Michael Hedges, who also released works through Windham Hill, showcasing a shared worldview. Germany truly is a treasure trove for this type of guitar music.
