First the negative: This album is not for the TD-newbies. Especially not for those who do not yet hear the new-age music for so long. The items are rather complicated and composed one tries desperately to follow the melody. Not to mention an instrumental refrain. Even those you could not find unfortunately nothing. Therefore, one should listen to the album two or more times in a row to get used to the music. The music is of course by no means bad! Now the positive: When you eventually get used to the sound structure, respectively. is familiar to the genre, the title look very atmospheric. After all the pieces are intended to play a trip to Mars. At least as an audio tour. Nice to hear are again the sequences generated by the Cubase VST / Audio Software from Steinberg. ("Comet's Figurehead", "Pilots of the ether Belt", "Outland", "Mars Mission Counter") Tangerine Dream here serve also many plug-ins that extend the sound software yet. Thus, if you times in the distant future book a trip to Mars, this CD you have to necessarily with you.
