Absolute masterpiece. The track with Michael Rother's guitar is moving and funny at the same time. Real art. Thank you for this.
Favorite track: Strip 30 (with Michael Rother).
Jim Tetlow
Of course it sounds like Moebius because it uses his sounds, but actually composing the pieces from those sounds in the way Moebius could have done is something that Tim and the contributors have largely pulled off with aplomb here. A great success and a fitting dedication.
Favorite track: Strip 31 (with Eve Maret).

Honoring Story’s collaborator and dear friend Dieter “Moebi” Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia, Brian Eno, Conny Plank), Moebius Strips is a multichannel audio installation for museums, festivals, galleries, and other public spaces. Working with Moebius’ widow Irene, Story has collected thousands of his sounds, noises, samples and loops, and reimagined/recomposed these in patterned ‘strips’ which, out of the context of their original settings, combine in new and ever-evolving layers on the installation’s soundstage.
Moebius’ music continues to inspire a generation of sound explorers and composers, and we have honored those connections by inviting a distinguished group of artists who have been influenced by his work as well as former collaborators, to add their voice to the Strips – to interact in their own unique ways with the constructions - including contributions from Geoff Barrow (Portishead, Beak), Sarah Davachi, Jean-Benoît Dunckel (Air), Eve Maret, Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo), Phew, Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster, Harmonia), Michael Rother (Harmonia, NEU!) and Yuri Suzuki.

"Moebius helped forge the sound of European electronics during a particularly fruitful period in Germany... harnessing electricity and circuitry to create frequencies with overwhelming warmth and depth. He visited realms that broke free both aurally and structurally and still sound modern." (LA Times)
"Story has pulled off something marvellous here…” (The Wire, October 2021)
"A moving and monumental achievement by all those involved, this is one of the rare tribute albums that is just as essential as the work of its subject matter." (Record Crates United, October 2021)
“… Moebius Strips is—just like Moebi was—many things at once. It feels here and there, past and present, his and theirs. Ours, too. With a confidante like Story at the helm, it honors the legacy of a friend and pioneer whose enviable status as the godfather of electronic krautrock is beginning to feel like a case of underselling.” (Pitchfork, October 2021)

This is such a great album, as it mutates with every time listening to it. Like a reflection of thoughts in a quiet deep mental lake.
