Although a late opus of the German progressive rock this album is
entirely related to this tradition. Some tracks only with strings, piano
or guitar are a bit out of place but don’t interfere too much.
Unfortunately the master tapes are missing, thus "Opus 1" was recorded
from vinyl to CD without being remastered. However surface noises can
hardly be heard as it was directly recorded from an unplayed vinyl
record to DAT. Maybe in the future both Ice singles as well as some so
far unreleased tracks will be released on CD. GOD
