DIGITALLY REMASTERED. Looking for mind-scrambling new sounds? We guarantee this spellbinding combination of church organ and percussion is unlike anything you've heard. Recorded in a cathedral, brilliant classical organist Hans-Günther Wauer and world-class percussionist Günter "Baby" Sommer summon a series of cosmic drones, hypnotic soundscapes, and spiralling cascades of echoing notes. It evokes vintage Tangerine Dream and Popol Vuh, while remaining simply sui generis.

REVIEWS
.
"Two musical worlds meet on the basis of free improvisation and merge into one. Hans-Günther Wauer, choirmaster at Merseburg, represents a world rooted in classical music and Günter "Baby" Sommer is one of the most prominent drummers of contemporary European jazz. 'Dedication,' recorded live at the Berlin Epiphanienkirche, is unique in every way: sound, because the large church organ is a magnificent instrument; acoustic, because the record is well recorded; musically, because the two musicians do not only deal with the space of the Church. Over years of playing together, they have found a tense, intense dialogue, which is reflected in this fantastic music." --Stereoplay

"This is an event. It's indicative of the sensitivity of the two musicians that the quiet moments are the richest. This is music beyond fashions and trends."--Music und Kirche

"Anyone who has patience to really listen will have an exciting adventure. A superb example of contemporary music."--Die Zeit

"Free improvisation, blocked fugues, bold sound beams, distortions, imagination and percussive hammered Africanisms; a storm in the cathedral."--Ettenheimer Heimatbote

The uncertainty of the next moment and the perfect choice of expression, intensity and tension. This record is not only of historical value, it is the equivalent of seeing a phenomenon that has never been seen before. A fundamental thing. jiristepan
