R is for "Rocket" and S is for "Space"

by Michael Brückner

supported by

Jörg Schaaf R is for rocket and S is for space. I prefer and enjoy the S section of this album. Spacey ambient at it's best. My favorite track is "S is for Space". Unfortunately I can't select that track from the dropdown list.

about

(Please note that the album has 11 tracks; some are hidden, but will be contained in the download...)

This is a rather traditional space music / electronica album with sometimes melodical, sometimes more rhythmic sequencer based tracks (and a few quiter spots).

From an English review from the review page progarchives.com:

"(...) Michael Brückner's recent albums may have favoured lengthier and more emotional, challenging long-form compositions, but `'R is for Rocket, 'S is for Space' is pure melodic space music full of variety, colour and movement. Playful and often even fun without being lightweight, it's one of his best albums, makes for an ideal place for newcomers to begin exploring Brückner's work, and is regarded by his established followers and musical supporters as one of his defining releases, and with good reason too.

Four (of five) stars."

Aus einer deutschen Rezension:

" Es ist einfach toll zu hören, wie spielerisch und doch harmonisch Michael Brückner auf dem Album „R Is For „Rocket“ And S Is For „Space“„ zu Werke geht. Für mich ist das Album eines der besten Elektronikalben, die im Jahr 2012 erschienen sind. (...)
„R Is For „Rocket“ And S Is For „Space“” von Michael Brückner ist ein klasse Werk, bei dem der rheinhessische Elektronikmusiker es versteht, den Hörer von der ersten Sekunde an zu fesseln. Die CD-R macht förmlich süchtig und hat bei mir schon zig Mal den Weg in den Player gefunden. Ein Album, das ich sehr empfehlen kann."
