Wow very unique almost like early Tangerine Dream with an added very Germanic gothic male vocalist. Thank you!

Whether this featured Wolfgang Bock or not its a nice forgotten gem to resurrect for those of us with curious ears. Also THANKS anonymous for posting the album credits. I miss album credits that came with vinyl and compact discs. Digital files are not as personally tangible and self gratifying as physical media BUT I thank websites like this for sharing this music many of us would never have been exposed to much less obtain..
