The seventies were quite a wonderful decade for Klaus. So far, he released only very good to excellent albums (all four stars and plus in my rating) and this one is no other.

Some splendid travel indeed to the boundaries of electronic prog. How great can these sounds be! Magical my prog friends. I just reinforce here, that this artist should deserve much, much more attention on such a musical site. But I have written this already.

The first epic ("Velvet Voyage") conveys some truly poignant passages. Superb atmosphere, relaxing jewel. In one word: splendid. Doesn't need a hundred words to be described: one just need to listen and share the passion. It is as easy as that! Gorgeous and extremely melodic. What a nice voyage indeed! Such a delicate musical oeuvre. Exceptional.

The flip side is of less interest IMHHO. It all starts as a languishing and repetitive sort of "Tubular Bells" which finally evolves into better territories but this is rather weaker than the sublime "Velvet Voyage". Fortunately, it ends up into some brilliant orgy of keys which consulates me with this number.

This makes it quite easy in terms of rating: the masterpiece status for Voyage and three stars for "Crystal Lake". Total: four stars. Another excellent work performed by Klaus.
