Order this CDBrought to you by the same Tangerine Dream alumnus responsible for the music on Babylon 5 every week. Pretty much the same style as his other work here with a few interesting variations…but very few interesting variations. I’d only advise this album for those really, really into Franke’s trademark sound. In fact, Franke later recycled music from track 17, “Lurking Shadow” (ironic, eh?), for the Babylon 5 episode Endgame.
