1/ Cluster is a German musical group closely associated with krautrock whose output prefigures ambient music. Michael Waynick, who reviewed Cluster & Eno for Allmusic writes a description that applies to more than the one album: "...too emotionally rich to waste as mere background music, evoking feelings of hesitancy and regret that rescue the music from mere vapid prettiness."
Having previously collaborated in the use of electronic instruments and experimental technique, Dieter Moebius, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, and Conrad Schnitzler formed Kluster in 1970. This trio released three albums, Klopfzeichen, Zwei Osterei, and Eruption. When Schnitzler left the group, Roedelius and Moebius became Cluster, and worked extensively with producer/engineer Conny Plank until his death in 1987.
Cluster and Neu! founder Michael Rother recorded several albums under the name Harmonia, and as such were joined by Brian Eno for one album, Tracks & Traces (recorded 1976; released 1997; reissued as " Tracks And Traces" by Herbert Grönemeyers Grönland label in 2009). Eno separately worked with Cluster on the albums Cluster & Eno (1977) and After the Heat (1978).
2/ Cluster is French heavy rock (mix between rock, hard rock and heavy metal) band from France (near Paris). They relased their 1st LP, "Sociétarium", in 2007.

Enjoy the Silence
Cluster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Word are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted...
Enjoy the silence
The lyrics of Cluster's version of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence" are full of depth and introspection. The opening lines, "Words like violence, break the silence, come crashing in, into my little world" set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is grappling with the power of words and how they can cause pain and hurt. The use of "little world" suggests that the singer is isolated and vulnerable, making them an easy target for hurtful words. The second verse continues this theme, "Painful to me, pierce right through me, can't you understand, oh my little girl." The use of "little girl" suggests this is a younger or more innocent person who is being hurt by the words of others.
The chorus, "All I ever wanted, all I ever needed, is here in my arms. Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm" speaks to the idea that actions speak louder than words. The singer is essentially saying that everything they need is already present, and words only serve to muddy the waters and cause harm. The line "words are very unnecessary" is particularly powerful, suggesting that actions truly do speak louder than words.
The final verse, "Vows are spoken to be broken, feelings are intense, words are trivial. Pleasures remain, so does the pain, words are meaningless and forgettable" speaks to the fleeting nature of words. Although they can hurt and cause harm, they ultimately have no lasting impact. This verse also touches on the idea that vows and promises can be broken, and that the real pleasure of life is in the experiences that we have, rather than the things that we say.
Overall, Cluster's version of "Enjoy The Silence" explores the power and ultimate meaninglessness of words. The singer grapples with the ways in which words can both hurt and provide comfort, but ultimately concludes that actions and experiences are more important than the things that we say.

Erano stellari già nove anni fa... poi hanno ulteriormente migliorato le magie di mix e amplificazione.
In ogni caso quello che me li fa adorare è sempre l'inventiva armonica e il sound di gruppo ancora unico nel panorama non solo italiano.
