Voor de liefhebbers van space/synthesizer/ambient/electronic music.
Dit keer een stukje Hollands glorie uit de jaren 80.
Helaas(Nog) nooit uitgebracht op cd naar mijn weten dus vandaar deze vinyl rips.
Nog eenmaal voor de mensen die deze spot de vorige keer gemist hebben.
Alle dank gaat uit naar de originele uploader. 

Groet Nachtuil.
