Adelbert von Deyen is a relatively obscure electronic artist whose style is very similar to the famed Klaus Schulze, even down to the album covers! Rightfully so, he claims Schulze as his main influence. His career lasted from the late Seventies to the early to mid-Eighties. "Atmosphere", Adelbert von Deyen's third release, is the first album on which he starts to show his own musical style and direction rather than sounding like a clone of Klaus Schulze. The title track still has a strong Schulze influence but there are now unique touches and differences that distinguish this as Von Deyen's work. The result is a much more satisfying release than either "Sternzeit" or "Nordborg".
The two short opening tracks are reminiscent of Ashra. "Time Machine" is bouncy, fast paced electronic music while "Silverrain" is a gentler, melodic piece which reminds of some of the tracks on Ashra's "New Age of Earth"…

So this is, on the whole, a fine performance. The only other commercial recording of Die Meistersinger to come along in the last couple of decades has been Sawallisch's (for my review see Fanfare 18:3). And that one, despite its many virtues, is seriously disfigured by Weikl's Sachs. So if you want a Meistersinger in up-to-the-minute digital sound, you would do better with Solti. I must add, however, that while the sound on this new recording is very full and clear, it lacks warmth.

Kurzbeschreibung
Als Albert Einstein kurz vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg an die Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften kam, war er gerade 35 Jahre alt und hatte bereits den Grundstein für seinen Weltruhm gelegt. Schnell fand er in der Boomtown Berlin einen inspirierenden, illustren Kreis gleichgesinnter Wissenschaftler. In den folgenden Jahren revolutionierte er die Wissenschaft mit der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie und begründete das neue Verständnis über Raum und Zeit, während im Berlin der Goldenen Zwanziger Jahre Aufbruchstimmung herrschte und in Theater, Musik, Literatur und Architektur die Moderne eingeläutet wurde. Einsteins wissenschaftliche Arbeit fand im Nobelpreis 1921 ihren Höhepunkt. Am Tag, als Hitler im Dezember 1932 an die Macht gewählt wurde, verabschiedete sich Einstein von dem ihm fremd gewordenen Deutschland, in das er nie zurückkehrte, und zugleich von seinem glühenden Glauben an ein Jahrhundert der Vernunft. Thomas Levenson hat die spannende Biografie "Albert Einstein - Die Berliner Jahre" geschrieben, die vom großen Sprecher Peter Matic vorgestellt wird.
Excellent addition to any prog rock music collection
A sublime collection of wonderful timeless music to treasure.
Upon seeing the `New Age Collection’ tag on the front cover of Rick Wakeman’s `Country Airs’, I expected to find a disc full of faceless digital synths to backing sounds of nature and stormy rainforests.
