The studio demo recording was thought to be lost for a long time, but Jennifer Hensel, the band's vocalist, found the tape containing the demo at the end of 2022, which led to this release. The band features the same members as on their '77 debut, except for the drums, and a full-time mellotron player is credited on the album.The band's debut album \"THE BOAT OF THOUGHTS\" in particular, with its symphonic rock sound with a slightly rushed impression, which is characterized by the feedback of British rock influences and the essence of jazz rock, has already been established at this point, Peter Hensel's guitar and Werner Littau's synths provide a moderately hard yet mellow symphonic sound, while Jennifer Hensel's voice with its unique melancholy and the mellotron that produces unstable emotions create a refracted taste and tension. The unique sound of this album is unforgettable, combining the speed of the Rickenbacker bass with the rapid drumming reminiscent of Yes in the early 70's. The sound quality is good, and the band\/producer's sound is very good, with the band\/producer's voice and mellotron creating an unstable emotion. The sound quality is not bad, and although the band and its contents are a bit geeky, this is a very attractive find for fans of German rock from this era!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Judgement Day\u003cbr\u003e2.Time In My Hands\u003cbr\u003e3.The Shadow Of Your Smile\u003cbr\u003e4.Zipoli\u003cbr\u003e5.Son Of Sorrow Part One\u003cbr\u003e6.World Of Cruelty\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sireena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47516789342497,"sku":"4260182982426","price":3090.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4260182982426.jpg?v=1700796854","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4260182982426","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
