I recorded this song 1982 from the radio with a cassette recorder, I didn't know the name of the song or the artist. For years I tried to find out what the song was. When the internet came, I tried to find it there. I did not find. 20 years later I went to a record store with a worn-out cassette and asked if anyone recognized it. One employee recognized Holger Czukay and I immediately ordered a CD. This is such mysterious and magical music.

Got it on vinyl yet? And its companion album, 'Movies'? Still my favourites of his albums.

When the music is over in some way, I return to this mysterious and magical music. So sensitive and gripping at the same time. After 30-40 years it still gives me the same feelings.

[@ErikGoosen]

Pure genius. Incredibly rich in sound, texture and creativity. Like perfume it lingers on: dramatic, sweet, sometimes irritating and beautiful at the same time.

Instablaster...

The incredible sound of master-engineer Conny Plank!

I was fortunate to have gotten to know Holger and he sent me several samples which I worked with. We ended up doing some bits together. I miss him.

This melody is fantastic. Reminds me of the Soundtracks album from Can.

To KZbin. I hardly disapprove with these advertisers in midst of the song. I will boycott KZbin in the future if this doesn't stop.
