Peter Baumann left Tangerine Dream in the late 1970's and released a few albums before moving on to found Private Records. This album contains selections of that early work. Half of the album is from Baumann's first two, and mostly instrumental CD's Romance 76 and Transharmonic Nights. While the cuts were more structured than his former band, it wasn't until Repeat Repeat where he moved into a more mainstream, early New Wave sound with decent results. The best cuts from that album are contained here. The vocals are mixed, but the arrangements and production are top rate. No cuts are contained from Baumann's 4th album, Strangers in the Night, a slickly produced, but otherwise listenable album that had all but completely removed him from his T Dream days.
