Notes

First Release: 1984

One long mixed track on each side; the track titles just describe the "phases" of the tracks.

Firstly reissued in 1995 following the success of the "Sueno Latino" track several years before.

Reissued one more time in 2004.

Recorded at Studio Roma, Berlin.

Review by eiskristall Feb 08, 2004
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...

So far ahead of it's time, listening to the repetetive drum pattern and looping synths, it's hard to believe that this was produced in 1981. One the the landmark influences on electronic music as we know it.

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.
