Epsilon In Malaysian Pale (RSD22)

Epsilon in Malaysian Pale, issued as Ypsilon in Malaysian Pale by Brain Records in Germany, is the second studio album by German recording artist Edgar Froese, released in 1975.

Epsilon in Malaysian Pale was recorded between June and July 1975, following Tangerine Dream’s Australian tour, and was heavily influenced by the places they had visited whilst on the tour. David Bowie named Epsilon in Malaysian Pale as an influence for his Berlin Trilogy albums Low, Heroes and Lodger.

The album consists of two instrumental compositions, each originally filling one side of vinyl. The first, Epsilon in Malaysian Pale, is a Mellotron-based piece inspired by Froese’s visit to a Malaysian jungle. The second, Maroubra Bay, is a more synthesiser-based piece named after a place in Australia.
