MACULA TRANSFER

Apparently, Edgar Froese composed the music on Macula Transfer on plane journeys during Tangerine Dream's tours - the song titles are supposedly the flight numbers the individual pieces were composed on. This is hardly an album of idle scribblings set down to pass the time, however - instead, with his guitar playing more prominent than on Tangerine Dream's concurrent material, Froese creates an intriguing blend of the style of electronic music the band were creating on the one hand and the psychedelic Krautrock of their earlier years on the other. An intriguing piece which I consider to be of markedly more interest than any of Froese's preceding solo albums.
