AQUA

Aqua was a cheap and cheerful album knocked off by Edgar Froese as a means of raising money to buy more equipment for Tangerine Dream. Consequently, the album sounds like a second-class version of Phaedra, with most of the tracks sounding like rejected first drafts for that album. Releasing the album under his own name did allow Froese to avoid diluting the Tangerine Dream brand by shipping less compelling products under its name (though the explosion of TD releases in the 1980s undid all that good work), but ultimately it doesn't offer much that differs greatly from what TD were doing at the time - only it's less fresh and compelling. Collectors only, I'm afraid.
