I don't know where to begin with this incredible collection. In many ways it defies description due to the sheer diversity of musical styles on show, from easy listening, jazz, and classical to rock, electronic and musique concrete. The only common element is the space exploration theme and the typically inventive nature of German composers. While there has been plenty of "outer space" music released before, much of it has been kitsch and corny but this collection manages to be austere and funky at the same time. However, there is some novelty factor for English speaking listeners who will be left wondering what the lyrics actually mean. The real star though is the music itself which sounds more like it's from another dimension than from another planet. Very highly recommended!
