Double LP version. "In 1984, four years after the release of my first solo album
Synthesist
on Sky Records, I wanted to produce a new solo album. At the time I was operating on the fifth floor of a former backyard factory on Graefe-Str. in Berlin Kreuzberg with my Neue Deutsche Welle Band
Lilli Berlin
. We'd turned the space into a small music and rehearsal studio where we set up a Tascam 8-track tape recorder, a 12- channel MM mixer that roared like hell, a Mini-Moog and a Roland Jupiter-6 synthesizer. This is where the basic recordings for
Oceanheart
were made. Essentially sequences and chords, which I then added piano, drums, Indian tablas and solo voices to in
Christoph Franke
's (
Tangerine Dream
) studio in Berlin Spandau. It was then mastered on a Betamax video recorder -- at that time the non-plus-ultra of modern stereo recording technique.
Oceanheart
was released on Sky Records in 1985. At the beginning of 2022
Gunther Buskies
, owner of Bureau B label, had the inspired idea to expand the planned re-release of
Oceanheart
with a remix album and to call it
Oceanheart Revisited
. Around the same time, I met
Tobias Stock
through my friend
Chris Mick
. Tobias, a qualified electronics engineer and musician, had put together a complex, top-class analog studio over 20 years of meticulous and passionate collecting -- bringing each of the numerous component parts back into the best technical state with his own hands. There are only few studios of this kind and quality in the world and it was here, in his 'On TAPE' Studio, we created the analogue mixes of
Oceanheart Revisited
on a NAGRA 2-channel tape machine. I really enjoyed working on
Oceanheart Revisited
and I'd like to share this experiment with you." --
