The title track of Hans-Peter Lindstrom’s debut album is as vast in scope as it’s possible to be while still remaining “a track” and not a soundtrack. Weighing in at a hefty 28 minutes long, it’s an epic of its type. And what exactly would that be? Cosmic disco you say? Well, why not? Nothing is more cosmic than this. It’s galaxy sized and a mixture of samples and live recordings. I suppose the most challenging aspect of making a piece of music this long is to make sure it stays fresh from start to finish which, in spite of appearing to contain no more than the average number of of shifts and notions of a normal piece of disco, it does. Just after the middle of the track there’s a pause in which the lower end disappears and everything seems to dissipate a little. This particular part puts me in mind of ‘Autobahn’, another similar sized track, slightly different in tone, but not in the concept of forward movement. A stunning, psychedelic piece of work that shimmers throughout.
