About this album

Flammende Herzen is Michael Rother’s graceful solo breakthrough, balancing propulsive krautrock rhythm with lyrical, ambient drift. Issued in 1977 after his work with Neu! and Harmonia, it marked a clear step into a more melodic, contemplative sound without losing the motorik pulse that helped define him. The title piece and companion tracks unfold with steady momentum, glistening guitar lines and a cool, atmospheric poise that became highly influential in electronic and post-rock circles. As a debut, it established Rother as one of Germany’s most distinctive instrumental composers and a key bridge between rock experimentation and modern ambient music.
