Zuckerzeitis the third full-length album by German bandCluster, released in 1974 on Brain Records. It was co-produced by Michael Rother, their bandmate in side-project Harmonia. The music onZuckerzeitmarks a shift fromCluster’sabrasive early work toward a more rhythmic, pop-oriented sound.Zuckerzeitwas recorded followingCluster’smove from Berlin to the countryside of Forst, and came after their collaboration with Neu! guitarist Michael Rother on the 1973 Harmonia album Musik von Harmonia. Each track is a solo composition, with the two members recording separately on different days; The Quietus noted that “it is in reality two solo EPs masquerading as a joint release.
