Faced with the loss of the crucial member of the band in late 1987, Christopher Franke, and with the corresponding loss of most of the equipment, Edgar Froese was left to his own devices. Ever persistent, he decided to continue the musical path of the band, this time as a duo, hard as it was to find a replacement for the lost nucleus of the band. Busy with mastering the material recorded during 1987 - various soundtracks contracted for the silver screen companies, Edgar Froese did not immediately begin searching for the new musical identity. However, come 1988, he already had clear ideas as to where he would take the band, what direction it might choose. Tangerine Dream has always been the band of technology, more often than not at the frontline, devising the new solutions, new instruments on their own. In 1988, a new opportunity knocked on the door, the age of digital computers. Having decided to use that opportunity, and somewhat being forced to do so after the loss of precious equipment last year, Edgar Froese and Paul Haslinger cheerfully adapted the new investment, the digital computers of Atari and Steinberg. The album has a really beautiful summer afternoon tone to it and the songs are really innovative and powerful.
Here the original first version of the Private Music label.
