2 stars So this is where the real "space exploration" of TD began. Admittedly, it is a pioneering attempt at making "space ambient" electronic music, but is a hardly any more accessible than the remaining of their "Pink Years" albums. Synths are present here, but the classical instruments, guitar, church organ and flute are in the forefront. The long title track even has a lyrics spoken in German, something about "love fills the universe..." "Alpha Centauri" seems more balanced and made with a concept than the previous "Electronic Meditation", alas in my opinion this is still far from being "good progressive music", remaining in the experimental "fans only" territory. Up to 2,5 stars.
