He does that a lot, in my opinion.
Has since way back too, but still kicks out some inspiring stuff.

        Hi all-

           Not a day over 54 here....maybe a bit.  Great album!  I bought Froese's "Aqua" and "Macula Transfer" when they were new on vinyl, and should've bought "Epsilon" when I saw it.  I am seeking out a copy of it now.  Avoid the new CD of it like the plague, as it is "re-Froested" (read re-mixed & embellished), and sounds lousy.

          -Bruce D.

          I bought it the day it was released, and don't feel a day over 56.
          My favorite artist/band hands down.

            Was cleaning out some stuff in my house,  boxing up old vinyl’s….(yes…I still have some).

            Stumbled upon this old import album. 

            Music that preceded the ’Trance era…found in the electronic section of the local Penquin Feather store (some of you guys may remember those).



            Boy, do I feel old now.

          Comments as seen on Youtube…. 

          “Edgar Froese certainly got it right on this LP...one of the best Mellotron-based works ever.” 
          “One of the most fantastic and greatest albums ever. It inspired me to make an almost all Mellotron album of my own. Soft ware is good but that twin mark 5 and m400 are much better than mine.”
          The old vinyl recording with the great mellotron sequence at the beginning, I found better. She was fantastic, not as synthetic as this new release.
