Is Cristoph Franke back? No, it's just that this album was recorded in 1988 and released only
three years after.I have listened to one of the tracks "Canyon Voices" on a sample published by a newage magazine which revitalized my actually lost interest in Tangerine Dream putting them often on its compilations together with artists like Rick Wakeman, Peter Bardens and Michael Manring. btw, Canyon Voices is on the compilation #16. It's a good album, above the average of the period. A track like "Sudden Revelation" can explain why a newage magazine can be interested in TD, but the border between progressive electronic and newage is very thin. What I can say is that this track could have found a place on older releases and is the most spacey track released by TD after 1983. Apart of this highlight, all the tracks are very good and only their length, all below 10 minutes, identifies them as late 80s stuff. The squared waves which are a trademark of TD's music are the base for the longest track "A Matter Of Time". When there are no percussion this album reaches its peaks. Surely better than a lot of things released by TD in this period. If you are in the right mood for this music I suggest also giving a try to the DVD as the music comments very well the images. I have seen only a few sample of it, but what I have seen is very promising. An excellent addition, at least to my collection.
