The album was released in 1970 by Friedrich Gulda, a famous jazz pianist/composer representing Austria and Vienna, who has left behind some great spacy and chaotic cosmic jazz albums such as "Fata Morgana" and "Nachricht Vom Lande" in 1977. This is the first Japanese release from Teichiku Records in 1980. The first side, titled "Suite for Piano, Electric Piano, and Drums," is a full-length suite of over 16 minutes, and is a prelude to the aforementioned work, with a wonderful contrast between the passionate sound of electric piano and stillness. B2 is a soulful song with a lively rhythm and groovy drumming by Weiss. Highly recommend the entire album.
