As lush and entrancing as listeners are led to believe from the exotic foliage on the cover,
Epsilon in Malaysian Pale
is the
Froese
solo record closest in sound to
Tangerine Dream
. The light sequencer trance and waves of statuesque synthesizer effects on
"Maroubra Bay"
are quite similar to
TD
's work on
Rubycon
(released that same year), and it's just as beautiful and hypnotic. The title track however, is an atmospheric mellotron piece that forsakes the sequencer for most of its length. ~ John Bush
