Edgar Froese - Epsilon In Malaysian Pale (1975)

Edgar Froese's second solo album, and possibly his best.  Epsilon In Malaysian Pale, which apparently is meant to mean "enveloped in the Malaysian humidity", came after Tangerine Dream had released Rubycon and toured Australia; like Rubycon, it has two side-long tracks.

The first of these is the title track, a lush junglescape of mellotron and a light touch of sequencer, inspired by Froese's visit to Malaysia.  The other is Maroubra Bay, inspired as the name suggests by TD's time in Australia.  After a dark, dramatic opening, it does end up evoking the beach about three minutes in, then sets off on a sequencer journey with plenty of Froese synth and more mellotron.  Both tracks are absolutely essential, timeless electronica.
