Trans Harmonic Nights

Digitally remastered edition of the seminal German electronic and ambient musician Peter Baumann's 1979 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. His next work as a solo artist was the equally remarkable and ground-breaking album Trans Harmonic Nights, recorded in Berlin between July 1978 and January 1979, a release which pre-empted and influenced the protagonists of synthesizer based music that would burst forth in the 1980s. 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.
