Tracks 5 to 8 are bonus tracks from the album Night Light. " Beam - Scape " is the first album by the electronic duo PETER MERGENER and MICHAEL WEISSER, who later joined forces under the project name SOFTWARE and released many more great albums in the years that followed until their split in 1999. Since the dissolution of SOFTWARE, P. Mergener has continued to produce electronic music in his studio in the Eiffel, while M. Weisser is primarily active as a media artist. The year 1984, in which this album was released, was the birth year of the SOFTWARE project and the beginning of a fruitful collaboration between P. Mergener and M. Weisser. The album " Beam - Scape " basically only consists of the first four tracks on this CD, while tracks 5 - 8 are the complete A-side of the album " Night - Light " released in 1986. The eight tracks on this CD are mostly very calm and natural, as befits this duo, often with spacey soundscapes and catchy sequencer lines. Now and then the rhythm computer is used on one or the other track. But the album "Beam-Scape", i.e. the first four tracks on this CD, can definitely be counted as belonging to the very early SOFTWARE era, when the music of this duo was still very much based on the style of the "Berlin School" and the tracks could sometimes be over 15 minutes long. The remaining four tracks, on the other hand, i.e. the A-side of the album "Night-Light" (1986), which was released two years later, show the musical direction in which the two musicians would develop with their SOFTWARE project. And it is precisely for this reason that this CD is so interesting and no SOFTWARE fan should be without it. I can also warmly recommend this album to fans of well-produced electronic music. But above all, it is the four tracks of the "Beam Scape" album that let the listener float in other spheres. Fascinating electronic music from a very early phase of the later SOFTWARE project. Extremely interesting, exciting and fascinating!

This is the 3rd release by the team, later known as Software. Moving sounds, flowing with analogue and digital synthesizers. The music of Mergener /Weisser is of intense beauty of melodic songs filled with energy and life.

Chip Meditation was one of Software's most successful IC albums in the 80s. Peter Mergener was primarily responsible for the music at the time and is now celebrating the 40th anniversary of a cult album that set standards in the electronic music scene with Chip Meditation 2025.
Music to dream to. That's what electronic music listeners associate with Chip Meditation.
On Chip Meditation 2025, the Software-typical sequences (trademark!) bubble out of the choir sounds, intertwining with warm pads and building up to a successful Berlin School track. The sounds develop fluidly, with occasional effects and touches of color reminiscent of Klaus Schulze or Tangerine Dream, gaining depth through the pad sounds.
Peter Mergener thus knows how to perfectly showcase these traditional Berlin School style elements in a contemporary, full-bodied sound, creating an atmosphere where you can "bathe" like in the old days.
Fans have had to wait a long time for Peter to revive the "old days."
Sweet dreams!

Peter Mergener, known since the 80s for his IC releases under the name "Software", celebrates a small comeback with "New Horizons" and presents a first-class Berlin school album in the old Software style. After Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, Mergener was the "next generation" of the Berlin School and enjoyed great popularity with "Electronic Universe" and "Phancyful Fire". After numerous stylistically different publications on different labels, Peter has recently become quieter. All the more gratifying that Peter used the time to produce a first-class electronic album again. Harmonious choir pads create a deep atmosphere from which hypnotic sequences gradually emerge, condense and build up to a top Berlin School title. A diverse, homogenous album has emerged, compositionally flowing with sensitivity, incorporating stylistic elements of Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dreams and also Atmos, which are known from software. Great for dreaming and drifting away.
