Greetings David and gang,

Interesting that you brought-up the topic of "Epsilon........" .
By sheer coincidence, when the Dec-11-2004 Gatherings Workshop
was completed, KL/I caught the Star's End broadcast by
Chuck Van Zyl from 1-2Am Dec-12 th.

A great tune was featured on that hour of spacemusic.
"Analog Overdose #4, " dbl-CD  the Ricochet Dream Edition by
 Fanger and  Schonwalder   .  Tons of Tron flutes,voices, strings
etc.  Track aired was "Encore"  , 23 minutes' worth.
Even the CD cover has pix of ferns for that "Epsilon....." look.

BUT.....the Tron sounds are definitely sampled, they still sound great!
Available on Eurock.Com in Portland ,OR.   Got my copy yesterday,
and is absolutely from the Berlin School of  synth-electr. music.

Ditto for Gert Emmens "Waves Of Dreams" CD ,also from Eurock.
If you're a fan of the older Tangerine Dream stuff, those two are for you!
....OK, that's enough pf my shameless advertising for someone else.....

Cheers,  JK
