This is the 37th solo album recorded by Klaus Schulze. It was originally released as the seventh album of the "Contemporary Works 1" box set.

"Atmosphère Concrète" is weak as an opening track, but I still give the album an overall rating of five stars. The music is slow and contemplative, less emotional than "Ballett 1". It's an album that helps me relax.

The bonus track is out of character for the album, an unnecessary addition just to get as close to the 80 minutes maximum as possible. There are no additional credits for the track, but based on the title I would guess that it's an unused Wahnfried track from the album with the same name.

"Ballett 2" was released as a solo CD in 2006. It's now out of print, but in 2017 it was made available as half of the double album "Ballett 1 & 2".
