Album Notes & Community Reviews
Firmly abandoning their earlier kraut-folk origins, the German ensemble fully embraced a lush, distinctly Genesis-inspired brand of symphonic progressive rock. Characterized by incredibly warm analog synthesizers, soaring viola leads, and highly theatrical English vocals, the LP perfectly captures a sense of pastoral melancholy. It is highly regarded as one of the most melodic and exquisitely produced highlights of the German progressive scene.
