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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

This album feels like space, but not in a blissful way like Structures From Silence. It feels like floating in space, you're all alone and you realize you are never going to die. You're just going to float all alone for forever, time means nothing. (Edited)

I think that this is a dull album... (Edited)
When I saw Tangerine Dream at the Royal Albert Hall they opened with 'Birth of Liquid Plejades', the vision of the 4 cellists in masks at the front of the stage will always come back to me when I listen to this album. The music conjures up desolate empty space, the more I listen the more I hear musical themes rather than walls of sound and I always hear something new with each listen. Swirling Moog backed by sombre organ rise and fall in timeless landscapes. Brilliant!

enjoyable. much better than phaedra. great homework music
Unlucky zonrod I like it too. Certainly one of their best, a sprawling epic.
wow, cool that nobody else likes it, because I like it so much that it offends me if somebody else likes it:-) (Edited)
