Just the intro with the three million birds (from 23:32)! I don't think I could ever do that again today, despite two dozen software synthesizers, much better delays and reverberation rooms. And then the recording technique! 16-track analog on the first Tascam machine in Germany. It had come with the Trans-Siberian Railway (!!!) directly from Japan. A bit late because it had been in the station in Minsk for a week or two. What stories. There is no contradiction :-) Dirk Schmalenbach
