Hach, I remember clearly to this album; on almost every note. I grew with Optical Race, my dad was always a big fan of electronic music. Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze were probably his hobbies, and so I've got a right amount of synth music as heir to get in the way. It just had this album for me always something so special ... an electronic record that they would like to hang can dream away ... So I was often on the couch with Papas Beyerdynamic headphones, eyes, and into the album. So now I've downloaded the new version of Optical Race via MP3 downloads from Amazon. It was curiosity, but decorates the original CD of 1988 for so many years my CD wall. A new recording so ... hm, why that? If you want to encourage them to purchase the old buyers again? If you were not so happy with several things as an artist in the originals? Or has it then but receptive legal reasons? Seis drum, in my case, it has meant that I have once again earned the album commercially. Now to the really decisive: the new recording is really important? For my part, of the album always has parental bed, the headphones from Daddy, and the extension cord from the plant bed in the sense, so I think the re-recording of interest, but more even not. Mr. Froese does not follow because almost strictly on originals ... but then. 100% you can probably even themselves do not always copy. Although I wonder how he could the "old" Atari technique mobilize again ?! Hach, good old days. The reason for the re-recording is well then but a legal history. And if I really want to give me a bath in nostalgia, but then with the original album. For those who do not know the album: I personally find it a really successful end-of-80s album of TD. Would I be able to assess what in baby blue pages, I would probably be at least 13 points for the CD ... plus a nostalgic point :) But yes I have nothing to say ... it is up to each up to you. But if so, then perhaps the debut issue (if only because of the so übercoolem 80s Coverbildchen - the flippant even cooler on LP as on CD) used to purchase ?! Anyway - in any form a great album !!!
PS: Why only the order of the tracks on the new recording has been altered so bad ?! That alone would be for the nostalgia in my mind. A point deduction !!!
