Phenomenal first release.

"This is Peter Baumann's first solo release while still a member of Tangerine Dream. The music is SO Berlin School! The best type of music IMHO. The tracks are notably shorter than the 20 minute tracks TD were composing in this era.(1976) But they don't suffer at all from their length.

The music, especially 'Meadow of Infinity', takes me back to my LA years where I first heard this album. 1983 to be exact. I can still vividly remember driving down an empty Wilshire Blvd at night while listening to this music on my cassette player. Haunting...I love it!"

Refreshingly dark

"While managing a record & tape store (in Portland, Oregon USA) in the 1970s, I came across this as a new release. This and Tangerine Dream's soundtrack for an American version of the film called (here) "The Sorcerer" were deeply imprinted in my neuron-ified regions. I still feel both stirring at my core. An excellent duo! I do wish this was re-released on CD at a reasonable price; I will continue to search for it, old Janne Schaffer, the only release by Wiggy Bits, and "Secret Damage" by The Strapps. Alas... greatness can be momentary; I am so very pleased I experienced it (and the rest) when I did."
