      AMG REVIEW: This massive double album is cosmic Krautrock at its
      finest hour, as visionary Walter Wegmuller leads a tour through the
      entire major arcane of the Tarot deck while the Cosmic Couriers —
      basically Ash Ra Tempel, Wallenstein, and whoever else producer
      Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser could rope in — create a remarkable soundtrack
      encompassing space rock, folk music, funk, psychedelia, and
      electronic music. Wegmuller's album followed in the footsteps of
      Timothy Leary's Seven Up, Ash Ra Tempel, and Sergius Golowin's Lord
      Krishna von Goloka, backed by Wallenstein, the duo
      Westripp-Witthuser, and keyboardist Klaus Schulze. Tarot, with
      almost all these musicians on the roster, is the culmination, a
      bizarre roller coaster ride through sonic soundscapes, while
      Wegmuller intones in his deep voice, sometimes augmented by more
      effects, though he often remains silent for long instrumental
      stretches. From the opening track, a funky number with blazing
      guitar and rolling piano over which a circus-barker voice announces
      the band with grand élan, to the side four track's nonstop blast
      into hallucinogenic after-burn, this one is a monster all the way.
      Shimmering Ash Ra Tempel guitar freakouts blend with Wallenstein's
      more rollicking psych rock, Schulze's deep space keyboards, and
      Westripp's cosmic folk to create strange blitzes of electronic
      weirdness. This album provide an incredible pallet of styles that
      all seem to gel in a cohesive mass of pure mystical wonder. — Rolf
