Klaus' 10th album, remastered from the original tapes and including a largely expanded version of Georg Trakl (over 26' instead of 6') as well as a 21' bonus track). In other words, this is 160 minutes of prime, prime Klaus from 1978, which can be considered the culmination of his prime period works.
