    An extraordinary example of the unexpected. By hearing in a whole. Needs a re-release. Wonder, why not happened till now.

      Masterpiece. That's why it's getting scarce and expensive. There's a story going, the songs seem to complete each other. If it wasn't enough already, it comes on a nice gatefold and the mastering was well executed. All in all a must have for those into a more minimalistic electronic music.

        Please check the past sales history for prices. €75 is out of whack and exploitative!
