This is the melting of electronic-music with eastern gamelan music. This should have been part 3 of the Bali-Symphony trilogy after Bali Agung and Trance Formation.

Originally a double LP AGES. Edgar started recording this album 1978 after a long European Tour with Tangerine Dream. He played all instruments himself and is accompanied by percussionist and drummer Klaus Krieger.
All tracks composed, produced, written and played by Edgar Froese.

This is volume 1 of a serie of four albums called "Edgar W. Froese - Ambient Highway Vol. 1 - 4" and will be backed by a compilation album that is put together from tracks contained on these albums which is aptly titled "Introduction to the Ambient Highway".
The four albums are intended as a sort of mixture of a retrospective on Froese´s earlier solo work with new and re-recorded pieces. As a few of his earlier solo releases are currently out of print and therefore hard to come by, these albums will fill a gap for those who do not own any of these efforts, yet will still contain enough new material and different versions of previously released tracks to appeal to the diehard collectors.

Next to his work with Tangerine Dream, Edgar (at the moment also with a W.) Froese also has quite a successful solo career.
The music for “Epsilon In Malaysian Pale” was done in 1975 after he had visited Malaysia and Australia. Compared to the music of TD, his solo music had a somewhat simpler approach. Then again, he had only two hands instead of the six of TD in those days, and overdubs weren’t used as much as they are today. I consider “Epsilon…” a masterpiece. Especially for the fans of the Mellotron, there is much to enjoy on this album.
The title track opens with new effects, after which typical Mellotron sounds enter as flute and strings. The digital additions are chosen tasteful and, happily, the atmosphere of the original composition stays intact. As the end nears, a simple, but effective, sequence is used.
I find the second track "Maroubra Bay” to be of great quality. Starting with beach sounds, effects, and menacing Mellotron strings, an atmospheric part follows with dark synth parts as well as modern sounds. The sequence that follows is very strong.

The music wascomposed by Edgar Froese in 1982. And still one of the best Soundtracks TD / Froese made.
Here the DVD version with the music within the film.

This recording is related to a long trip Edgar made in the early 80´s to Australia.
The name Pinnacles is taken from a huge million years old petrified stone landscape in the Western desert part of Australia. Edgar made books full of notes during the trip and sang melody lines into a walkman type of pocket recorder while walking among the maybe oldest stonegarden on the planet.
Back in his Berlin studio he transfered all ideas into rhythm, melodies and sounds. As landscapes around the world have always inspired Edgar for some purposes, Pinnacles is another example of his great love for this planet and beyond.
Here the original first version from Virgin, where Froese played without any overdubs.

The group's second release has a spiritual feel. It's reminiscent of Peter Mergener's "Let There Be More Light," "Creatures," and "Applause for Creation."

Nice melodies and good rhythms with an instrumentation that TD also used around the beginning of the 90ies.
