En Route (Moebius and Plank album)

En Route is the fourth full-length album released by German electronic music duo of Dieter Moebius and Conny Plank. It was actually the fifth and final album recorded before Plank's death in 1987. En Route was recorded in 1986 at Conny's Studio outside of Cologne. As Plank's health deteriorated the recordings were left incomplete. The album was completed and mixed by Moebius & Gebhard. The 11th through 13th tracks on the CD are remixes by Manu Guiot done in 1995. It was released by the Dubuque, Iowa-based Curious Music label in 1995.

The Sonic Curiosity review of En Route describes the album, in part: "...rhythmic and wraught with weird sounds and insectoid chitterings. [...] Less frantic than their earlier work, "En Route" qualifies the quirky melodies with a seriousness, endowing the weirdness with a sedate charm. The introduction of horns to the glistening mix of mechanical and ethereal sounds reinforces this approach." Writers and Krautrock historians Steven and Alan Freeman are less than enthusiastic about En Route, claiming that this album, like Zero Set before it, is "... too close to techno for comfort" despite the fact that very little of this album would be welcome on the dance floor.

En Route has been digitally remastered and will be reissued by Captain Trip Records on November 27, 2007.

En route (novel)

En route is a novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans and was first published in 1895. It is the second of Huysmans' books to feature the character Durtal, a thinly disguised portrait of the author himself. Durtal had already appeared in Là-bas, investigating Satanism. En route and the two subsequent two novels, La cathédrale and L'oblat, trace his conversion to Catholicism, an experience which reflects the author's own. As Huysmans explained:

"The plot of the novel is as simple as it could be. I've taken the principal character of Là-Bas, Durtal, had him converted and sent him to a Trappist monastery. In studying his conversion, I've tried to trace the progress of a soul surprised by the gift of grace, and developing in an ecclesiastical atmosphere, to the accompaniment of mystical literature, liturgy, and plainchant, against a background of all that admirable art which the Church has created". (quoted in Baldick p.288)

The novel was published by Tresse et Stock on February 23, 1895. Its literary qualities were generally appreciated at once ( Paul Valéry was especially enthusiastic) but many expressed doubts as to the sincerity of Huysmans' religious conversion until the author was defended at a public lecture by Abbé Mugnier. En route was a commercial success and rapidly went through several editions. It is also notable for being one of the texts requested by Oscar Wilde during his incarceration at Reading Gaol.
