Romance 76

Digitally remastered edition of the seminal German electronic and ambient musician Peter Baumann's debut solo album. Peter Baumann came to prominence as a key member of Tangerine Dream, joining Edgar Froese and Chris Franke in the group in 1971 and making his debut on the album Zeit. His contribution was felt on the classic Tangerine Dream albums released by Virgin Records issued between 1974 and 1976, Phaedra, Rubicon, Ricochet and Stratosphere. In 1976 he embarked on a solo career with his classic work Romance '76, recorded in July and August that year in Berlin and Munich. The result was a remarkable album that is now held in huge esteem by aficionados of German electronic music. Unavailable on CD for over twenty years, this Esoteric Recordings reissue is newly remastered and restores the original album artwork and includes a booklet with new essay.
