about

This album, in the first place, is a compilation of older tracks - not really a "best of", but still some sort of retrospective on my twenty years of electronic music making - and thus it's designed to close my annivarsary year 2012.

I gave this some thought, and finally decided to present one specific perspective of my work - one angle to look at it: the slightly weird, the strange, the alien, the - surreal - side.

Because, in the end, if in anything, this is where what I did is special (or at least I hope so), and it's also what I took most delight in while creating it.

So this choice of tracks is clearly not aimed at the listener who is seeking accessable, "nice" or conventional music. Whicht doesn't mean it doesn't contain tracks that are nice to listen to at all - but a certain sense for sonic adventure will help to appreciate it ;-)

Apart from a lot of already released (although hardly perceived) material, this large collection also contains a considerable amount of still unreleased, even new material, so even the rather small number of listeners who are already familiar with many of my older albums will find something of interest here, I hope...

There are a few collaborators on some of the tracks that I'd like to mention:

My dear wife Cäcilia sings so beautifully on "The Final Prayer", my old friend Klaus Chmielewski contributed great melodic (...even symphonic) touches to "A Thin Line", my wife's sister Stefanie Detmer lent her voice to "Kanon" and Franziska Taube to "I Can See Millions Now" - from my heart, I thank all of them! :-)

P.S. The tracks are (almost) in chronological order. In the individual track infos You can find out from which album they come, and in which year they were recorded...

Яркий и одновременно таинственный, волнующий, погружающий в грёзы альбом, заставляющий биться моё сердце чаще. Слушаю, затаив дыхание! Это определенно должно быть в коллекции любителей электронной музыки и "Берлинской школы". Все треки очень хороши, но для меня самый-самый - MIND LAKE! Oleg Parfentev
