Free Music Notes for Epsilon in Malaysian Pale

Free Music Review: Interesting journey on a Malaysian elephant
Hit: 5 Stars

Lighter in touch than the mother band's albums, "Epsilon in Malayisian Pale" delivers variations on a theme that are pleasurable to listen to for every fan of the old, good analog music. Actually, two-thirds into the title track, 'Epsilon in Malayisian Pale', Froese quotes from "Rubycon", and from a chaos of sound samples emerges the main theme of the album. With flutes and mellotron playing along, the bubbling Moog rhythm theme takes over the track, and while the composition does not deliver as much as it suggests it will at the beginning, it's good enough. One simply cannot become satiated with this music.

The second half of the album consists of a single long track, 'Maroubra Bay', which is indeed superior to the rest of the album. If you're looking for a definition of a good Edgar Froese music, search no more, it's here. The chilling introduction reminds us of "Rubycon", and hints a bit towards Tangerine Dream's soundtrack, "Sorcerer", a masterpiece of electronic music, a type soundtrack you have never heard before or after. Just like on "Rubycon", the intensely atmospheric synthesizer passages transform into a brilliantly performed and unforgettable dynamic arpeggio. If Christopher Franke and Peter Baumann had thrown their two cents into this composition, 'Maroubra Bay' would have constituted another milestone in Tangerine Dream's musical heritage. Since it's a solo album of Edgar Froese, one must admit that the man had a streak of genius back then in 1975. "Epsilon in Malysian Pale" is one of the most important recordings of the decade, one which you shouldn't miss under any circumstances.
