Album Notes & Community Reviews

Divided into four sprawling, side-long compositions, this project captures the German synthesizer pioneer transitioning his classic Berlin School style into more modern, digital textures. The sequences are dense, futuristic, and highly repetitive, explicitly aiming to induce a trance-like state in the listener. It represents a subtle but important shift towards the ambient and trance movements that would flourish in the ensuing decade.
