This eleven-song debut EP shows the promise that Hans Joachim Roedelius has. This album has some very good songs like Muy Encantado and Bons Jours. Hans Joachim Roedelius’s debut, ‘Variety Of Moods’, does not fit easily into one genre. Unappreciated gift to Ambient
Song Bons Jours is actually a funny song. A great put together song. Mattgold is the song that really did it for me. Music and lyrics of Der Mann Aus Lodz creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Albumblatt is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Variety Of Moods is Solo-Monotonie I. Solo-Monotonie Ii is such a perfect and optimistic song that things can get just better. Conjunction - My least favorite song on this album.
