Advantages: One of the best 'electronic' albums ever Disadvantages: It is somewhat short
five minutes have gentle subtle harmonies playing with bright synth sounds. I have heard this part used on nature programmes to accompany underwater scenes, which it does splendidly. Finally a lonely mellotron flute sound concludes the album on a sombre note.
Overall the music on this album is quite remarkable especially if you consider the equipment available in 1975. Don't expect tunes or simple backing beats as this is more of a free flowing soundscape. It may be only 35 minutes in length, but it is possibly the best 35 minutes of TangerineDream's lengthy career and certainly one of the finest electronic albums of the 1970s. Although it is sometimes categorised as such, it is not really "new age" as there are dark eerie moments and not quite "ambient" as there are some lively driving near-rock moments.
Highly recommended ...
Advantages: Live TD music Disadvantages: Only half a concert

I have recently listened to this after quite some time. In fact, I think this is only my third time of listening to it.
It is supposedly the first release of the so-called "TangerineDream Classics Edition", released in 1999, featuring the first part of the Sydney concert. The rest of the concert (Soho Man 2 perhaps) has never, as yet, been released. A bootleg LP version called ?Leprous Appearance On Wednesday? appeared in 1984 and was re-released in CD format in 1993, featuring the same part of this concert. When listening to the bootleg, it?s obvious that Soho Man has been altered to obtain better ...
