The only solo album by Klaus Hess, the guitarist of the German progressive rock band Jane. Released in 1983 by the renowned krautrock label Sky Records, the album features contributions from Wolfgang Kratz, Ulli Heicher, Bernie van der Graaf, and Rosebud. Track A1 showcases a cosmic guitar sound with solid, gated drums and deep reverb. Tracks A2/B4 feature multi-layered electric guitars reminiscent of Manuel Göttsching and Harmonia, creating a pleasing sound. Track A4 has a mysterious echo guitar that rises and falls like waves over a low-centered rhythm section. The electronics and guitar sounds are mixed to create a deep, krautrock-cosmic world. This is an original German pressing.
