Dutchman Gert Emmens is not unknown anymore in the world of electronic music. In 2001 his second album Asteroids”
Lloyd Braun / USA –
This cd is some of the best New Age space music I’ve heard in years. It takes me back 20+ years to the heyday or New Age synth music. I recommend this to anyone who likes the dreamy spacey music of early Jarre, Tangerine Dream and other pioneers of New Age space music. A must have.

When I heard Gert Emmens debut cd, I was impressed by his melodic sense and his variety of themes. I havent heard his follow up Asteroids, so I dont know if there was a transition, but Wanderer of Time arrives with a full-fledged Berlin school sound. Whereas his first cd had a few classic EM elements, this time he is armed with a full arsenal of vintage sounds, from Mellotron flutes to mesmerizing sequences and more, as on the 19-minute title track, a real attention getter. As it builds, beautiful synth strings soar. This disc compares favorably to NavigatorsOceanic Empire, as both discs are firmly rooted in the classic Teutonic style, yet they also include up-to-date touches and production.
About seven minutes in, Im sure Im listening to classic Tangerine Dream around the time of Logos. Several different themes emerge, each flowing very smoothly into the next. This is a fantastic track, and sets the bar very high for the rest of the disc. Gaspra” does not disappoint as a strong second number
