ROMANCE 76

The first side of this record REALLY sounds like the "Stratosfear" and "Encore" albums by Tangerine dream: when you listen to that side, you can notice the Baumann's contribution to those Tangerine Dream's records: you recognize the particular high frequency beat and the melodic & rhythmic keyboards patterns. I always believed that the Peter Baumann's contribution to the early Tangerine Dream's albums was negligible, but I think I am definitely wrong after having listened to this side 1!

The side 2 is quite more experimental, having no beat: there are floating female vocals-like (probalby mellotron), strings-like arrangements, flute-like sounds, mellotron and some drums parts. It really sounds like a dark movie music.

Rating: 3.5 stars
