The Dream Roots Collection

Many of the original tracks on this records had been reworked by Edgar Froese, laying new textures derived by the latest Korg and Roland keyboards over the original track segments -- the same as Froese did on the Virgin Compilation Tangents in 1994 and his solo work Beyond The Storm in 1995. A computer tool called MIDI-Mixing Maps was extensively used by Froese to store and retrieve material to and from hard disk. Sound generation was particularly low on the late '60s and early '70s original master tapes, so much overhauling had to be done here. The entire project was executed by Edgar Froese within a few months, alternating between current TD studios in Berlin and Vienna. According to Froese: "Time is always changing. The advantage of getting into older material so long after its creation, is working on it from a new and different viewpoint. You incorporate more of life's experience, the part of the always-changing consciousness which we didn't have during the period we worked on it." (www.voices-in-the-net.de)
