In summer 1979, Harald Grosskopf- a drummer who lived in Berlin and had appeared on recordings by Klaus Schulze, Ash Ra Tempel, Cosmic Jokers, and others- holed up in the apartment of a friend in Krefeld, Germany, to record his debut solo album.

An excellent work of "Berlin School" electronic music which was inexplicably overlooked in its day, "Synthesist" is finally gaining recognition for being something of a lost gem. A collection of 8 diverse yet cohesive tracks, "Synthesist" is a wonderful excursion into late 70s analog electronic timbres. Full of bubbling sequencers, mellotron, sweeping string synthesizers, and most important of all, great music, it is a must-have for anyone seriously into electronic music. Tracks like the opening "So Weit, So Gut", "Transcendental Overdrive" and the title piece are immediately accessible, bouncy and bright, while "1847 - Earth" is a mesmerizing loop that builds up into a pounding percussive rhythm. "Trauma" is an eerie yet beautiful soundscape of phased synths, like floating in an electronic luminescent aural sea. "B. Aldrian" and the closer "Tai Ki" have a calm, meditative feel. This album is absolutely essential for anyone who is a fan of late-70s Tangerine Dream/Klaus Schulze/Ashra, and comfortably ranks up there with the best works of those artists.

The album has been difficult to obtain for many years, with only the tracks on the first side appearing on a "Best Of" compilation in the 90s, while a 1999 CD reissue on Think Progressive had modified artwork and half of the tracks sourced from vinyl. Bureau B has finally got it right and produced a stellar reissue, remastered from the original tapes, with the original artwork, and largely free of the obnoxious processing like digital noise reduction or excessive dynamic limiting which ruins so many remasters (while there is a touch of limiting applied to this disc, it's fairly restrained and nowhere near "loudness war" levels). Finally, this album gets its due on a digital format... and Bureau B has also made it available again on vinyl, too.
