Thirty years after its original release in West Berlin, Tresor Records is glad to present a re-mastered and re-cut edition of TV Victor's legendary debut album, Moondance, originally released in 1989. TV Victor, one of Tresor's spearhead artists since the label's very first hour, is an alias of Udo Heitfeld. In 1989, TV Victor launched his first solo project under the form of Moondance. He then went on to compose legendary ambient and trance productions including Trance Garden 1-3 (1994), Trancecology Chapter 1 (1996), Timeless Deccelaration (2000), and The Ways Of The Bodies (2002). TV Victor collaborated with other artists such as Moritz von Oswald, Thomas Fehlmann, Max Loderbauer, Paul Browse, or Tobias Freund, amongst many others. From the liner notes: "These songs are an invitation to your consciousness. Moondance is the sound of your aware body. The moon is the place where your body realizes consciousness. Floating and dancing is the way people come together. A different kind of gravity, a different state of mind and electricity between man and woman makes it alive. Find your own moon." 180 gram vinyl; includes download code.

Long-time Berlin-based musician Udo Heitfeld has operated under the pseudo-name TV Victor for the past 20 years with his unique musical signature: fine ambient and atmospheric electronic music. TV Victor is no newcomer, having released three full-length releases previously on Tresor since 1994 with epic compositions of atmospheric ambience that won the artist international acclaim. Born in Ahlen, Germany, in the optimistic '60s, Udo started guitar and piano lessons at the age of four. The evolution into electronic music started during the halcyon days of kosmische music in the revolutionary '70s and then refined when he moved to Berlin in the early '80s, joining underground projects such as No Zen Orchestra with Dimitri Hegemann (Tresor founder) and Piers Headly. Zen Orchestra attracted attention with its unique sound of heavy rhythms and ethno-oriented, hypnotic sounds. Udo Heitfeld's second project Moondance combined experimental and classic structures of pop music, which helped lead him to his TV Victor moniker, arguably Berlin's debut in the ambient scene, following in the footsteps of great masters such as Terry Riley, Steve Reich, La Monte Young or even John Cage. These are newly-reworked versions from TV Victor's first releases, included on 2001's Timeless Deceleration and 2004's, never commercially released version of The Ways Of The Bodies. Available for the first time on triple CD, they are newly digitally-mastered tracks delivering clean, crisp soundscapes that disperse notes and passages like pebbles in an aural stream. The compositions contain a warm realm of emotion and depth of mood yet untouched by the normally dancier Tresor label.
