I'm writing only because this album is fantastic and deserves to be better known. As the other reviewer mentioned, fans of Krautrock and Eno will love this - sublime, protean and varied. It fascinates as well as relaxes the listener. High quality reissue with great sound. Buy it while it's in print!

Interesting recording, uncovered from the mid seventies. Relaxing and flows along nicely. Glad I discovered Kraut Rock. Eno fans will enjoy this.

When I opend the CD and lokked at the fold out picture of all the talent and amount of equiptment in one room.. it was hard to beleive that this is all they could come up with!...(I do more on my KORG modulator and sampler by myself).. Then I remind myself for this kind of letdown.. it is why I started doing my own stuff. Anyway, it's a one -off improv session, notes very little post production was done to "give the feel of being there"( yeah righhhht) it really needs A LOT more post production..(many times the bass tones are in the red zone causing your speekers to buzz as if they're ripped over modulated and underpoduced like a demo tape come on guys stop ripping people off with this tripe)... It's also more of a cluster controlled CD I defye you to find eno's.... input (were's waldo?) Had to write this because I sometimes go by the individual past works by these's guys so you would think..but as you my already know the's guys also played on the hype there names conjured and started putting out releases of drones that lasted 20 minutes at a time they got comfortable riding on past success and gave-up the passion...this release documents the point of decline.
