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 has a Bayesian average rating of 68.9/100, a mean average of 66.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

I still have the original vinyl which is in near mint condition. I remember buying this and being a little bit disappointed that it didn't have the same impact as Tangerine Dream albums of a similar era. Although I was somewhat transfixed by the soundscapes at the time of purchase, I now realise how repetitive some of the foundation sequences are. The Light Cone stands out as a more interesting track and is a personal favourite, taking me to Tangerine Dream type soundscapes. (Edited)
