2017 remastered edition, with new standard glossy jacket. Orange vinyl
version. Edition of 500 (numbered). 2017 remastered edition, with new
standard glossy jackets. Texture and feeling of 1975 with boosted
audiophile sound quality. Previously unreleased album by German trio Sand,
recorded 1973-1982. Live events in the quarry and an archaic sound
formed the background music of the young atomic age. In the meantime,
after endless trance garage sessions, Sand drifted from the mythical
landscapes to Berlin and mingled with various oriental influences.
Vultures were scudding along the urban canyons while burning houses
illuminated the skyline. Sand navigated in obscure spheres and
discovered Tendrara. There is something magical and inexplicable in
creation, and Sand absolutely manifest these mysterious phenomena.
Storytellers, musicians, shamans, geniuses -- Sand were known, at the
end of the '60s, as P.O.T. (Part of Time). Then Sand -- Ludwig Papenberg, his brother Ulrich Papenberg, and Johannes Vester
-- developed a more avant-gardist, proto-industrial, visionary,
experimental approach, becoming a truly unique entity in the history of
music. Not dependent on a classic krautrock style, Sand is nevertheless
part of this movement of German cosmic/psychedelic bands, in addition to
being the originators of proto-industrial musics. Live events in the
quarry and an archaic sound formed the background music of the young
