my parents owned the original on CD and it was a listen from my early childhood and onward. we'd spend snowy afternoons on the couch in front of the fire with this on. they would nap, but i would always stay up to enjoy the atmosphere.

Curious Music and Groenland Records are pleased to announce the 20th anniversary special edition release of Lunz by Tim Story and Hans-Joachim Roedelius.
This very special release comes newly remastered by Tim Story as a digital download, collector’s edition cd with four covers (limited to 250 per cover worldwide), and a double 180-gram audiophile vinyl release with hand-numbered and signed art print (limited to 500 copies worldwide).
Lunz was the second collaboration of the German electronic music legend Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster, Harmonia) and Grammy-nominated American composer/producer Tim Story. Lunz was the culmination of the composers’ 25-year mutual admiration and friendship, and the beginning of a prolific partnership that spawned six acclaimed albums, audio art installations and live concerts across Europe and the US.
When Lunz originally hit the record shop shelves of London, listeners knew of the Roedelius/Story collaboration only via a few concerts and the abstract musique concrete of their limited edition cd Persistence of Memory. Lunz quickly changed that with 12 timeless and beautiful miniatures, each creating a unique sense of time and place with a surreal blend of melody, texture and mood. Lunz inhabits a world all its own, of lush acoustics and angular electronics, translucent pianos and dark ambiences. It's a mysterious world where the innocent and the distressed occupy the same singular environment, coalescing perfectly. 20 years on, Lunz remains a fan favorite and a landmark addition to both artists body of work.
Curious Music is pleased to collaborate with Berlin’s Groenland Records for this definitive release – the first-ever appearance of Lunz on vinyl – in a spectacular double vinyl gatefold with an extra bonus track from the original sessions, and a special cd release with 4 distinct covers by graphic artist Sebastian Boecking. Groenland is well known for curating the esteemed catalogs of Harmonia and NEU! as well as innovative new work by many other artists.
Lunz is available from Curious Music in North and South America and from Groenland Records in Europe.

This is such a great album, as it mutates with every time listening to it. Like a reflection of thoughts in a quiet deep mental lake.
Danke martin soundnomad
Right from the first sound you hear, to the last note - this album will transport you to a natural place. I cannot put into words how this album has been such a huge help. It’s like a friend now - like someone who is always there. An amazing album that everyone should own. Thanks so much, Robert. darkstarr666
