Underrated milestone album of electronic music

"This is an amazingly beautiful album, especially in its latest digitally remastered incarnation. It's also an unheralded classic, deserving a slot as one of the most important in the history of electronic music -- right up there with Tangerine Dream's Phaedra and Rubycon, Terry Riley's Rainbow in Curved Air, Fripp and Eno's No Pussyfooting, and take your pick of several Klaus Schulze albums. Finally, this album is a seminal influence on today's trance/electronica scene through The Orb and Hillage's own System 7. If you're new to Hillage, try this album, and then for a contrast, the Todd Rundgren-produced "L". The latter album has a much harder edge, covers of Donovan and the Beatles, and a track ("Lunar Musick Suite") that almost sounds like heavy metal (almost)."
