They can be categorized as folk prog with female lead vocals and mainly acoustic instrumentation: - Nanny DeRuig / vocals - Christian Grumbkow / guitars - Joachim Grumbkow / cello, acoustic guitar, transverse flute, piano, organ, mellotron - Christoph Noppeney / violin, viola, flute, piano - Peter Käseberg / bass, acoustic guitar, vocals - Michael Bruchmann / drums, percussion The vocals are in German and are describing dreams (Traum is the German word for dream) but understanding the lyrics is not important since they are mostly illuminating what the music expresses anyway. The band had a unique sound at that time (Renaissance as of Ashes Are Burning are the closest to compare) but they changed a lot until their next album three years later. The musicianship of all members with the variety of instruments is remarkable, especially on the longer tunes. _____________________________________________ This record has been cleaned with a professional ultrasonic machine.
