This album was originally referred to as Klaus Schulze's 19th album, but like "Aphrica" it's been removed from the Klaus Schulze canon. It's nowhere near as bad as "Aphrica". On the contrary, it's pleasant to listen to, especially as background music.

This was the last album that Klaus made with Rainer Bloss. Reading between the lines of comments made by KDM in his newsletter, "The KS Circle", there must have been some sort of argument that led to them parting company. If anyone knows what happened, please let me know.

Curiously, in 1986 an album "Drive Inn 2" was released, supposedly by Rainer Bloss and Klaus Schulze. KDM insists that Klaus had nothing to do with it, neither as musician nor as producer. His name was merely used to boost the sales of a mediocre album.
