Notes

In summer 1997 Edgar and Jerome Froese started for a "strange musical and geographical trip" in composing the score for Transsiberia, an experimental black-and-white film about a journey on the famous Transsiberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok. It is unknown whether this film was every released officially.

The album contains nine completely new compositions, while the last one, The Golden Horn, is essentially a remix of the track Turning Off The Wheel from Optical Race back in 1988. The track Ulan-Ude was released on the album The Hollywood Years Vol. 2 as well, there titled City Monk.

The soundtrack album was released on CD by TD's own label TDI in June 1998 and re-released one year later with a different cover artwork. Some copies of the later edition have appeared missing the metallic printing on the booklet's front cover.

In January 2007 this release became available as MP3 download at the Tangerine Dream Download Shop. While the compositions had been credited to both Edgar Froese and Jerome Froese in the original CD booklet, all tracks are listed as compositions by Edgar Froese only on the downloadable artwork.

In March 2009 the album was re-released with different cover design as part of an extensive digipack series (consisting of a total of more than 60 CD and DVD releases) by the Germany based Membran record label, and in September 2009 it was re-released in Japan as part of a series of HiQualityCDs with mini LP paper sleeves. In September 2010 the album was re-released as part of the box set The Electronic Journey.
