The 'Holy Grail' of Kraut-Space-Funk.

The highpoint of a career that boasts the legendary Space Patrol (Raumpatrouille) and Chariots Of The Gods soundtracks, Peter Thomas' Orion 2000 is a near-mythical release that was only ever pressed in minuscule amounts as a German library LP (in 1975) and has never been available commercially before now. Drums pound, basses buzz, horns flail and star-maidens wail. Berserk electronic and musique-concrete effects collide with manic energy. There is nothing on this world (or any other) that sounds like the 'Blaxploitation-Kraut-Jazz-in-Space' sound of the Orchestra Peter Thomas. Remastered from the original master tapes and presented with exclusive liner notes, the original artwork, three extra previously unreleased tracks (15 total) and rare photos.

The Star-People have, at last, landed.
