Sought after kraut electronic / cosmic lp composed by Maximilian Marzinkowski. He plays some cult analog synthesizer like the Arp 2600, Arp Axxe, Arp String Ensemble, Roland Jupiter, vocoder, analog and digital sequenzer, he is helped for this project by Ferdi Manig on violin, Valerie Kolmetz on percussion and Harald Hoffmann on drums.

It contains the amazing proto electro track, "Syringendrom", the trippy "Steingarten" who finish with an insane drum beat / synth part, check also the downbeat with great synth work, "Pinios" and the ambient sound of "Meteora" including beautiful synthesizer texture, great vocoder and violin works!!! Solid lp from the beginning to the end!!!
