Information on the release can be located here. Artist page here. Pretty sparse in general, as well as over on the rym basement dwellers website. Not that the record is very rare, but looks like many are afraid to purchase it out of fear of disappointment, not entirely unjustified. Anyways you needn't consider this now since you can take a listen to the rip here and judge for yourself.
In terms of music this is basically entirely synthesizer plus guitar plus percussion and all instrumental giving the illusion of a full orchestra. The second side is mostly devoted to what sounds like a fully composed neoprog classical symphony but played of course on digital keyboards ('Forgotten Symphony'). I might add that here, the classical influence is quite strong (eg, sounding like Richard Strauss). So a lot of your enjoyment of this depends on your tolerance of classical music's approaches to chords and melodies. While the first side is called 'Time Trip: Symphony for Drums and Orchestra,' and is more straight up electronic. Nonetheless, it's interesting and well written, never drony, similar to a lot of the recent electronica posted here, like the OC requests, Cybernation Dark Plane, and Horwitz' The Planets.
The track called Lost in Ancient Dreams (from the first side) gives you an idea of the style here:
Conversely, the finale of the second side's symphony:
The keyboardist / composer is Rainer Struck btw. He was in symphonic prog band Norwind previously, looks like they only had single releases, no LP, and the hard rock band Separate Reality. He has two guitarists and a drummer accompanying him.
The following introductory poem appears on the verso:
my desires too strong to hold
What I had done is too ridiculous to justify
The time ran backwards
the dimensions became strange and boundless.
It was a mistake to be so careless
but it was my fate to make this Time Trip!
Also check out the magnificent mullet of the guy on the cover, and the boobage of the female.
But it was necessary to bring this rarity to the light of day and sounds of air, given how frequently it's requested.
