He was the man that brought 1975 the warm sound to TD,on tour you can hear him in australia,melbourne and adelaide,that were absolutely magical times on tour,the music has one space and left the more klaustrophobical era they had before,the nervouse staccati and arpreggios went more into the horizontal kind of music,and i think hoenig had a lot of influence with his concentrated slow-mo-sound.I love this period heavily,like after this,when the second genious of 5 arrived,johannes schmoelling.

This is great post Baumann tunes! Never listened to Mr. Hoenig, if so, very briefly. Thanks for posting

In March 1975, Hoenig was hired to replace Peter Baumann in Tangerine Dream for an Australian tour and BBC recorded London Royal Albert Hall concert, and subsequently left Agitation Free....

I bought a cassette of this album on a lark way back in the early 80s... I really enjoyed the atmospheric quality and would often listen to it in the car as I drove down the highway. Haven't heard this in nearly 20 years! Thanks for posting!

This album, and this song in particulare was the very height, IMHO, of "Berlin School" electronic music. Hoenig was closely connected to that scene (a member of Agitation Free/touring with TD after Baumann left), but here, I think, he takes the analog step sequencer ideas of TD to their logical conclusion, and pushes them beyond what they had done before. It was recorded on the cusp of the digital synth takeover, which arguably killed this style of music or at least put it on ice for many years.

This is as good as anything the Dream did!
