This 1974 album is a collaboration between the progressive German musical group Between, led by Peter Michael Hamel, and Gert Westphal, who recites poems by Hermann Hesse. In addition to the spiritual and meditative contemporary ethnic music that can be heard on other Between albums, such as the jazz-arranged A1 "Om Namo Buddhaya" and A6, where sitars and organs create a solemn sound and chant-like vocals awaken the listener, the album also features active sounds like A2, where Tom van der Geld's vibraphone grooves. This is an original German pressing released by EMI Electrola/His Master's Voice. The label features a red background with a white Nipper mark/EMI Electrola logo and a white rim.
