Groundbreaking early electronic track which had a massive influence on some of the pioneers of modern dance mucic... Derrick May said that he and his friends would listen to the whole LP over and over again for weeks, Juan Atkins said the same and it fit in with his early vision of Science fiction music from outer space, and clearly had an influence on his early Model 500 / Metroplex output. The whole LP lasts well over 40 minutes, and instead of individual tracks, the LP is a continuous track arranged into phases, with subtle changes in instrumentation whilst maintaining the same background rift and light beat. Sampled a million times since, most notably on "Sueno Latino". Very Inspiring and deep music.

Indeed a journey deep in your mind, when it first came out, music press almost gave (with some exceptions) a negative response, nobody understood this concept. After the increasing the rave scene in the early nineties this record became more and more cult status because of the general recognizing the important influence on electronic music development. An early avantgarde masterpiece by Manuel Göttsching...

as you may know this is the fantastic track that carl craig used for the well-know "remix" on planet e and also "sueno latino" .
the original is less techno, for sure, but quite more instrumental with the use of guitars by the end of the track whwich last 50 min +...!

Floor to ceiling is one way to describe this record. Seldom heard but often mentioned as one of THOSE records. You wish you could play but don't have the guts to. Beautiful simple chord progression and that beat. Course I first heard this through Sueno Latino which was one of those galvanising moments. I picked up those Carl Craig mixes as well when they first came out, which were so so. Those mixes take a lot of work to really really pull off a good mix with that record. But it would take many years to track an original down of this gem. Got it, love it, seldom play it.
