3 stars 'Neuronium' were clearly a copy-cat, three man band plagiarising Klaus Schulze using every cliche in the book. At time of release in '79 (unlike the headliner which says 1980). this sounds very 1977 'Klaus' which should cheer up all 'Schulze' fans wondering where on earth to turn to after 'X' .

What went wrong with Schulze's recordings after after this period? Many say his use of digital technology replacing dirty old analogue.

'Digital Dream' is in no way original, but they use absolutely everything Schulze would exercise circa '75-78 making this the missing link for fans of aforementioned artist.

The front cover depicted is the old ugly one. I've got the 1990 cd version which displays a spooky painting in the style of Schulze's 'Irrlicht'. This is much better than looking at bearded guys.

Plagiarism abounds, but Spanish band 'Neuronium' give us what Schulze should have sounded like in '79. Some nice arpeggiators and highly softened electric guitars see us out in a pleasant way. It's pretty good.
