5 stars 1. Bayreuth Return quick intro since after 90 seconds the Farfisa is in motion; before it was departure towards the cosmos; good, this DALI cover, these pink noises which saturate your ear, these diphthong sounds, staggered, redundant, this air which comes to be grafted onto it in gusts of wind; monolithic and destructuring, go a side tune that vibrates and the 6 minutes are already there; the sound at the same time soft, synthetic, at the same time cottony, in waves, the sound with this soundless cosmic wind, so much so that you hear it vibrate in your body through the bones; 10 minutes latency time, it vibrates, it is searched; moment of rest with an ersatz solo, which I don't know, choose... but it becomes melodic, bordering on a Jean Michel JARRE of his first electronic forays; that's it, we're halfway through, 15 minutes, realize how lucky we were to listen to it at this time when we had the time; the sound amplifies without us realizing it, the minimalist melody has passed the 3rd and begins to swell, to lodge itself in all possible interstices, the ear is filled, the stirrup vibrates, the hammer is blocked, the anvil can no longer move; the sound now swirls, the synth bass lets the sequencing parts take their course; from monolithic we now have a stack of multi-layers with basic tonal ramblings letting the brain wander according to the vibrations; 24 minutes and a semblance of a solo is added, like a wave like the Bore, be careful not to let yourself be surprised; the duet, stereo sounds suggest the final evolution and this unique wave which goes up the musical river... that's it, it vibrates, it rises, it accelerates, yes it took this time to headbang energetically; yes we can no longer stop, yes the trance is here... the wind announces the cataclysmic, magical and inevitable end... one last vibration and... the inevitable brittle fall I told you

2. Wahnfried 1883 vibrant stereo space start; cosmic wave on the other side of the Magellanic Cloud, more towards WAGNER's house with his built house; Peace of illusion and/or madness as some had fun wanting to clear... Sidereal peace with a romance of notes and an inconsiderate Love towards WAGNER; a 1/3 of the past, a few waves which can recall the following album and its surging drops; the sound has amplified, expanded, we are underwater but with lots of bubbles rising to the surface; we already arrive in the middle, the reminiscences of 'Oxygène' which will appear the following year are particularly blatant here; the sound becomes majestic, like a cathedral; the waves return, have amplified, structured, they become real, hard; the 3rd part begins at the moment when we realize that this musical wall is indeed present; 24 minutes and we hang on, the mountains of waves, villainous at the very least, come crashing against the speakers, yes; the finale becomes inaudible, roaring, we are under the wave, holding our breath; the redundancy, the reverberation is reached to its peak and allows the final silence to continue the title which is well finished.... SCHULZE is also that, sound even when it's over!
