The second album from this band from Germany.
The band was a trio with a lineup of percussion, bass, organ, harp piano and electronics.
Two guests added flute and synths.
I am quite dreading this progressive electronic genre. I have still decided to review around ten to fifteen albums from this band in the coming months as they are the masters and legends of this genre.
Their debut album was a positive surprise to me and there was quite some stuff I liked there. So onwards to Alpha Centauri then.....
The music on this forty minutes long album (the 2011 version is one hour long but not reviewed here) starts out as slow but steady cosmic space rock. This is like floating in the air, thousands of miles from this earth.
A nice opening where the flute is adding some dynamic melodies too.
The final half of the album, the title track, is more an ambient piece of music which falls a bit short. It still has it's moments but not many enough of them.
The result is another positive surprise and a decent album. Tangerine Dream is perhaps about to change my views on this genre.....
