    Whether you choose to hold the eco themes in mind or simply revel in its textures, Requiem is a gripping listen, a powerful late work from a veteran who has weathered more storms than most. [May 2026, p.24]

    Requiem is unlikely to be an album that creates a new legion of converts, but for devotees of this true innovator it’s an incredibly rewarding one.

    The dignified transitions between the different movements of Requiem get a little predictable at times, and its sense of tight control is anathema to the turmoil of Can's most memorable moments. But there is a poignancy in the weight and pressure of Requiem, and the way Schmidt tries to get all of its pieces in order. [Jun 2026, p.61]

    A meditative work reflecting on loss and commemoration, as well as nature and the environment. The slowly unfolding composition, divided into two parts, is intended for deep listening.
