The music is not really complicated, but the atmosphere it creates is just incredible.
"Sunrise In The Sird System" begins very slowly and maintains a steady tension with more and more strings and pulsating synth sounds. The only negative point about this track is, that it is too short.
According to the title "Fly And Collision Of Coma Sola" is divided in several parts. There's an ambient part at the beginning (the flight?) that is followed by a synthesizer transition and then the last part, containing of really moving drums (the collison?).
"Alpha Cebtauri" is even more incredible like the two other tracks, a beautiful, very long ambient track with some german voices as a climax, speaking about god, the cosmos and mankind.
This edition of the record also contains "Ultima Thule pt.1" as a bonus track. This song doesn't really fit to the other tracks, but anyway, it's a great piece of music too, and not such easy to get as other Tangerine Dream material.
It's not hard to find this record, so if you are a fan of spacey music, get it or you miss something!
