Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.1/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Took me a while to get around to fully immersing myself in this one and I’d have to say that the most impressive element to the album is the freshness and clarity of sound that they produced 50-odd years ago.
Impressive for its time.
endlessly extended organ chords and recorded sounds. I would call it head music

Superb early ambient space rock that sounds as fresh today as it did back in 1974. Can't really believe it's that old.

It's wild to listen to this and know it was made in 1974. Sounds very ahead of its time
This album is so unique. One of the best albums from 1974 and Tangerine Dream´s best.

Still think Zeit is their best work, but this is pretty incredible early ambient music
From another world, even now in 2018. Some really eerie use of Mellotron and the first album where the Moog Modular carved out those hypnotic bass sequences. A meditation in sound.
You're the first person to have landed on a cold, uninhabited planet.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
