Liner Notes

Holger Czukay: "It seems to me that certain types of albums almost create themselves. In such cases the composer is merely the conduit for a pre-existing energy waiting to be transformed into sound. My experience with La Luna was very much like that. The album (a single 45 minute track) is in many ways a product of something similar to the automatic writing techniques of the Surrealists. I had purchased a new sampler and began experimenting with the machine without reference to the instruction manual and filled the brain of the machine to its full capacity with 'sonic memories'. In the late hours of the evening the machine came to life and spoke! The recording you hear is the transcript of this transcendental conversation between man and machine. La Luna plays well in large halls and temples - as an 'Electronic Night Ceremony' it is a universal contemplative hymn for the masses. Also, it is equally at home in your own living room after a lively evening out - it is the celestial code to your very own micro-cosmos."
