'After the Heat' is a collaboration between Brian Eno and the two members of the band Cluster (though on this release, they were billed by their actual last names). It was originally issued in Germany in 1979.
German composers Dieter Moebius and Joachim Roedelius formed the synthesizer duo Cluster during the '70s krautrock boom, but only attracted wide attention outside their homeland when they joined forces with Brian Eno for the 1977 album 'Cluster and Eno'. This excellent 1978 follow-up, 'After the Heat', is credited to the three individual participants, emphasizing the contributions of each. Several of the album's ten pieces, particularly the turbulent "Oil" and "Foreign Affairs", emphasize Moebius' and Roedelius' Tangerine Dream-style analogue synthesizers, while the more reflective, piano-based "Luftschloss" and "The Shade" move toward the gentler ambient directions Eno was beginning to explore around this time. The album's best piece, "Tzima N'Arki" is an intriguing faux-Middle-Eastern collaboration featuring an Eno vocal played backwards, foreshadowing much of his '80s work, including 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts' and 'Fourth World 1: Possible Musics'. Most of this album later appeared on the compilation 'Old Land'.
