Released on 1 March 1981 on 45 rpm 12" vinyl.

Richard Wahnfried (sometimes just 'Wahnfried') is an alias of Klaus Schulze and usually used when he is leading a collaboration with other artists. As is the case here (see below) he sometimes uses both names in the credits for different roles in making a recording.

Written by Richard Wahnfried.
Produced by Klaus Schulze.
Performed by:
Karl Wahnfried - guitar
Manuel Goettsching - guitar
Klaus Schulze - keyboards
Mike Shrieve - percussion
Michael Garvens - vocals

The album was originally released on 12" vinyl intended to be played at 45 rpm. There have been at least 7 reissues in various formats, including CD's, without alterations to the music until, in 2012, a double CD was released with both tracks slowed down in their entirety by 26%.

This was given the slightly different title of 'Richard Wahnfried's Tonwelle'. It emulates the sound achieved by playing the original vinyl at 33⅓ rpm, something which most owners of the original will have done by mistake at some point. To my ears this "version" sounds ridiculous but there is nothing to suggest Klaus Schulze himself disapproved.
