After the Can years the keyboardist Irmin Schmidt's career is largely deal with soundtracks. In this 3-CD set, the best of his soundtracks are all covered.
Disc 1 is the best, "verdi prati valse" the accordian work is excellent, and other tracks "pauline", "rote Erde", "qui sait" and "ritas' tune" are extremely romantic work. Other pieces are synthesizer instrumentals occasionally supported by Can's guitarist Michael Karoli. Some works "mountain way" shows the spontaneity of Can.
Disc 2 is more 80's feel, with lots of synthesizers and sometimes with merits, for example, "morning in berlin", "Balance".
Disc 3 contains his late 70's materials which are more experimental, for example, "wallenstein", "Messer im kopf", etc. "Flachenbrand" is very impressive, too.
