"Long expected" doesn't even begin to describe Neuland. After all, the core synthesizers (former Tangerine Dream members Peter Baumann and Paul Haslinger) were already working on a record under a different name (Blue Room) almost 30 years ago. Promising sessions were eventually put on hold, but the project's creative process established their friendship and a fruitful dialogue that defies explanation.

"Neuland" began the way many long overdue projects begin: Paul Haslinger and Peter Baumann asked themselves, "Why doesn't something like this exist?" In their case, that meant a deeply immersive debut album that respects their roots with Tangerine Dream but exists on its own astral plane. Far more restless than most ambient records, the pair's self-titled LP is both focused and liberating, alluding to everything from weightless grime melodies to windswept film scores. And while there are echoes of many different modern artists here (Oneohtrix Point Never's sci-fi scapes, Zombi's prog leanings, the mechanical animal melodies of Amon Tobin and Arca), "Neuland" is ultimately the sound of something entirely new. "It all boils down to one word: 'transcendence,'" Baumann explains.
