Cd01 A Physical Presence (part I) (1985)

One of two paired box sets chronicling the entirety of Kate Bush's recorded work as of 2018, Remastered features upgrades of her first seven albums: The Kick Inside, Lionheart, Never for Ever, The Dreaming, Hounds of Love, The Sensual World, and The Red Shoes…

Chip-Meditation is one of the better efforts from the Software "team" of Peter Mergener and Michael Weisser. The inspiration for the set comes from contemporary philosophers. Their statements regarding rapid change, technological advancement, and the unpredictable stretching of boundaries and human imagination sent Weisser and Mergener to the studio to examine new limits.

It will appeal to fans of Klaus Schulze, Dweller at the Threshold, and Ashra.
