This is the 46th solo album recorded by Klaus Schulze. It was originally
released as the fifth album of the "Contemporary Works 2" box set. All eight
tracks run into one another as a single long track, I could call the whole
album "Easy Listening". It's pleasant music, but forgettable. The problem is
that Klaus himself remains in the background for most of the album. In the
first track the guitar played by Mickes (Michael Luecker) is in the
foreground. In the second track Tobias Becker's oboe is in the foreground. In
the following tracks the instruments alternate, while Klaus Schulze's
synthesizer hums in the background. It sounds more like a Wahnfried album than
a true Schulze solo album.
