"Third album from 1976 of brilliant German band in the tradion of Beatles, Byrds and Eagles. 12 catchy songs with remarkable hook lines produced by David Hitchcock (early Genesis, Caravan etc.) and recorded in London CBS-Studio.

Title:	Road Trax
Label:	LONG HAIR (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	LHC 017CD

"The previous three Improved Sound Limited CDs (LHC 7, 9 and 12) were re-releases of vinyl albums, Road Trax is a genuine first release of Improved Sound Limited music from three films. While the previous CDs contained predominantly songs of the band, 39 of them, here we find different musical forms: mostly instrumentals, fragments and 'songs without words'. Why is this album called Road Trax? Simply because the music is about being on the road, or at least it conveys a very mobile feeling. Acoustically, the music reflects the feeling of being on the move. It is a companion for long journeys, whether with the film camera or in a car. Moving at a slow pace, it portrays long and wide spaces, breathes melancholy, distance and boundlessness."
