Last in line of ART albums from 70-s. No Klaus Schulze on board anymore. As usual, just two compositions - one on each side.

Whenever their line -up is changed few times yet, and their best time is somewhere in past, possibly the main (unmusical) attraction of this album is participation of LSD guru Timothy Leary on vocals. Album was recorded in Switzerland, where Leary found his new home after problems with US legislation, and it looks obvious all musicians were not only Leary guests, but and active participants of his school.

Side A track is electronic spacey piece with bluesy roots, and side B track - better constructed psyche one. Plenty of characteristic sounds of early psychedelic music (something similar you can hear on Allen's Gong albums). Everything sounds according to genre and moment's rules, but is hardly innovative or exceptionally played.

Not a bad album for fans of early German spacey/psychedelic music, but hardly an essential work for other listeners.
