A cosmic experience
Four tunes, running about 20 minutes each, of extraordinary music I've never heard before. This is the sound of deep space.

a musical trip
A dark proto ambient album. 4 long tracks instrumental, some synthesizers used as well as cello's and other instruments. Really original and well ahead of its time. Don't wait for the rhythm or the tune because it won't happen here. Just very atmospheric.

A Stormy Zeit...
Having been a TD fan since the early 70's, I've enjoyed MOST of their phases very much. I owned the Zeit LP many years ago and happily have recently gotten this hypnotic soundscape on CD. I was listening to Zeit while driving home the other day down wooded country roads when a serious storm began to approach with black clouds and high winds. As the CD played, I found it to be an amazing accompaniment to the coming storm. Storm and music combined made for an unforgettable experience I'd highly recommend. Great stuff.

The very first Dark Ambient recording!
I heard this album in the very early 80s for the first time, after being exposed to Stratosphere (which I've never enjoyed as much as many other of their works), Phaedra, Rubycon, and Ricochet. It startled me first, then quickly blew me away. Long afterwards, Brian Eno's seminal "Ambient 4: On Land" gave me the same feeling, as do works such as Robert Rich and Lustmørd's "Stalker." As such, I regard it as the first true Dark Ambient album of all time, and still up there with the finest. Not for the faint of heart, though, or those who expect sequenced, rhythmically seamless performances. Sequencers had not yet been invented at the time, remember... Wondrous! As someone else said, this is the sound of deep space...

This is one of the worst TD albums EVER, actually THE worst. What I read in a past review from a listener and from listening to this album myself, it does sound like a room full of humming refrigerators. This and the album Atem are the two worst TD albums from the 70’s (if it wasn’t for Wahn on Atem then that album would of gotten one star too). If you are interested in listening to any of TD’s early 70’s work, start with Alpha Centauri.
