The green album concluded Schnitzler's "monochrome" album series (red/1973, blue/1974 and yellow/1974/1981). Schnitzler's tracks in the 1970s were lengthy and shared a musical pattern which varied only minimally. Hence the green album has just one track on each side and any changes in melodic structure are subtle in nature. The borders between Schnitzler's creative periods are too nebulous to be sure that the green album represents the coda of his 70s music. Still, Schnitzler's musical essence of the decade is in evidence as aural concentrate on both tracks of the green album. Not, however, as a recapitulary review, but as a foundation, fertile ground in which his art would thrive in the decades which followed. Out on CD/LP/DL Nov 14, 2014

C. Schnitzler "Grün" (snippets) reissue out Nov 14, 2014
