	Departure From The Northern Wasteland Used - Vinyl - BSK 3152 1978 original. A cornerstone of German electronic music, Departure from the Northern Wasteland captures Michael Hoenig—fresh off his work with Tangerine Dream and Agitation Free –crafting a radiant, sequencer-driven masterpiece. Released in 1978, the album channels the pulsing architecture of the Berlin School: interlocking synth patterns, expansive atmospheres, and a sense of motion that feels both cosmic and deeply human. The title suite unfolds in shimmering waves, while pieces like “Hanging Garden Transfer” and “Voices of Where” explore widescreen ambient textures with meticulous detail. Hoenig’s command of rhythm and space makes the record a standout among late-’70s electronic explorations. more
