After the Heat is a 1978 album by Brian Eno and both members of Cluster, namely Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius. The album represents the second collaboration by the trio, the first being 1977's Cluster & Eno. Again, it was created in collaboration with the influential "krautrock" producer, Conny Plank.

The song "The Belldog" is notable for its sequenced analogue synth bassline.

The track "Tzima N'Arki" contains a reversed vocal track, part of which includes the chorus of Eno's song "King's Lead Hat" (from his album Before and after Science), itself an anagram of "Talking Heads", whose recordings Eno was producing during that period.

"Broken Head" makes prominent use of tape flanging on Eno's declaimed vocal.
