TANGERINE DREAM Zeit (Ohr OMM 2/56012) RARE German 1st Pressing MINT-
RARE German first pressing of Tangerine Dream`s seminal double-album "Zeit" on Ohr Records (August 1972). 
"1972’s sprawling double LP Zeit is a monumental and deeply affecting album. In some ways a prototype for dark ambient music, this divisive album comprises four lengthy abstract compositions totalling 76 minutes of music that can be terrifyingly unrelenting one moment and immersive the next. Large stretches of it are simultaneously deeply isolating and suffocating, yet it’s also oddly engrossing and enveloping. (...) Devoid of melodic structure - and for that matter, of melody itself - Zeit is brooding, uncompromising, inaccessible, and totally alien. It is a monolithic album and an extraordinary achievement and while this is not music to spin constantly, it has that rare capacity to alter the environment around you. Consuming, compelling, and never experienced the same way twice." - Review by Vinyl Connection, allmusic.com

eBay`s maximum shipping cost for the US is predetermined at $4. Obviously, the pricing system does  not foresee foreign sellers listing in the US. However, we cannot possibly ship a double album from  Europe at this price. By purchasing, the buyer agrees with the mailing costs as outlined above.
