    Really like this. Along with Tangerine Dream and others mentioned here, I get a flashback to The Alan Parsons Project sound of the mid 70's to early 80's, someone who I still love to this day. As far as your AI generated cover, it's very well done and reminds me a bit of the fantastic artwork from Chesley Bonestell. Overall, a most satisfying hour of my day!

      Thank you! Inspiration-wise I would say you are spot on. The 'Virgin years' era of TD is in my view among the absolute the prime of Berlin school, and Schulze has been one of the house Gods for ages. For the name, I actually didn't think of that connection - but I can certainly see the relevance 😊

      Thanks @jonlee4151. The philosophical dimensions behind AI - in that it is able to see patterns and make predictions based on huge amounts of data, far beyond what the human mind is capable of, and whether to classify this as "thoughts" (albeit agreeably more 'passive' than actively creating something entirely novel) - is indeed an interesting subject in its own right. I definitely get your point. And rest assured, more music is in the making...

      If the repetitiveness is what got on your nerves, then this entire genre of music probably isn't for you.* Short cyclical patterns that slowly evolve over several minutes is what this style of music is all about.
      * Since tone doesn't always carry over the wires, I want to clarify that I mean this in a complete judgment-free way. Different people like and dislike different things, and that's why different genres of music exist-- so that everybody can find music they enjoy.
