A new album from Software? Not quite… Chip Meditation was one of Software’s most successful IC albums in the 1980s. Peter Mergener was primarily responsible for the music at the time and is now celebrating the 40th anniversary of Chip Meditation 2025, a cult album that set new standards in the electronic music scene. Since the project cannot be continued under the name Software, Peter decided to release it as a solo album. Electronic music fans know that Peter Mergener was actually the musical force behind Software at the time.

Music to dream to. That’s what electronic music listeners associate with Chip Meditation.
On Chip Meditation 2025, the choir sounds are interspersed with the typical Software sequences (trademark!), which interweave with warm pads and culminate in a successful Berlin School track. The sounds develop fluidly, with occasional effects and splashes of colour reminiscent of Klaus Schulze or Tangerine Dream, and gain depth through the pad sounds.

Peter Mergener knows how to showcase these traditional Berlin School style elements in the current full sound within these completely new composed material in a first-class way, in an atmosphere in which one can ‘bathe’ as in the old days.

Fans have had to wait a long time for Peter to revive the ‘old days’ again. Sweet dreams!
