It’s fair to say as a whole the album is a little bit of a Frankenstein’s monster, as the 70’s elements are mixed with & often engulfed by the colourful & much less ominous 80’s electronic textures & synths.  You hear soaring & mysterious 70’s electronics move against bopping & bright 80’s synth banks.  Or brooding & dark synth drones pin pricked with spacey 80’s electro glimmers ‘n’ swirls.

The album consists of just four tracks, and un-like some in this series of newly reissued album there are no extra tracks on offer here. The album opens with the title track, which is the longest track on offer here at just shy of the nineteen & a half minute mark. The track start’s off very moody with a mixture of dark droning synth textures, which are ebbed & knocked by spacey yet slightly mischievous electronic textures. By just before the 5th minute a slow & rising drum beat kicks in, and this is soon added to by an expansive & mellow yet moody Pink Floyd like blues tinged guitar trail. Over the slowly growing/ building guitar & drum structure you get sudden sweeps of spacey synth swirls, whooshes & whizzers,along with more  moody & sustained synth drones. By around fourteenth minute the guitar has departure & the moody synth sustains seem to start to slow the track down- before the drums cut out completely around the sixteenth minute & your left with a mixture of slow bopping bass synth, & more rising bright harmonic wistfulness. All told it’s a great epic TD track, and the main highlight here.

The other three tracks on offer here run between five to seven minutes a piece. These go from the battering & slightly edgy drums meets warm synth rush ‘n’ swirl of  “White Clouds”, to the bopping & some what eerier synth pulse 'n' electro beat pattern of “Astral Voyager”. Onto “Indian Summer” which mixes swirling ‘n’ shifting electro storm effects with a bright yet slow warbling 80’s keyboard based beat-less march. All three tracks are pleasant enough, and are good examples of TD in a more bright & atmospheric mood setting gear.

The 16 page booklet features ten pages of artwork & photographs of the band from 1973, and 1986.  And  a five page essay from music journalist Malcolm Dome, where he discusses the original recordings from the 70’s, and  the additions/ remixing that took place in the mid eighties.

So to sum this is a nice reissue of one of the  more controversial albums in Tangerine Dream’s back catalogue- it’s really down to how much you like the idea of their 70’s more moody work been mixed with their bright & often more buoyant 80’s material,as  to how well you’ll get on with this.
