There's an even better one on Stocky's own label that's just the tape part
(i.e. w/o any instrumental accompaniment) which is IMHO the definitive
take. Same CD also has 'Studie I & II' and 'Gesang Der Junglinge', which
sort of makes it the essential peek into his early electronic comp.career.
If it's any consolation, I hear that Verlag now takes checks in US
dollars... -Våt
