Ammerland, by Führs & Fröhling 

A Very Special Album. 

Führs & Fröhling were an early German Prog Rock group, a guitar and synthesizer duo, classically trained, playing music that might later be called new age or space music or progressive or symphonic rock or art rock, but really wasn"t quite like anything else, including their former band, SFF (for Schicke, Führs & Fröhling), with the drummer Eduard Schicke. Between 1978 and 1981, they released 3 albums, this one, 1979"s Strings, and in 1981, Diary. Their music is lush and romantic, especially on this album, and sounds to me like the outdoors. Ammerland is not a rock Beethoven "Pastoral" symphony, but has something of the spirit of that and other pastoral works. As well as being a great album at home on the stereo, it is a great album out driving on country roads or among lush scenery. I wish they had recorded more than their three albums, but I am glad to have the three that they did. (There is a 4th, live album, recorded, it sounds to me, by an amateur at a live concert. It is disappointing in sound quality, but does have a number of tracks not recorded elsewhere and is worthwhile getting if you really like their other albums, and want to hear a few more of their compositions.)
