Voyage

Description

Bureau B once again dives into the Sky archives and exhumes another little-known masterpiece, long overdue for rediscovery. Originally released in 1985, Voyage sees Dieter Schütz venture beyond his Berlin School roots into a world of lo-fi immediacy and New Age naivety. Schütz plays every instrument himself, except for the drums on Above, performed with syncopated fervor by Michael Fecker. If its textured synthetic landscapes and melancholic melodies evoke the aesthetic of 2010s Vaporwave, Voyage captures a longing for another world, not through borrowed nostalgia, but through a contemporary vision of escape. Here, Schütz’s music is lush yet unpretentious, full of warmth, curiosity, and the subtle imperfections of handcrafted sound, its blend of organic and synthetic instruments combining to evoke distant landscapes: Amazonian forests, sunlit coastlines, and cosmic night skies.
