Dream & Desire is a solo studio album by Manuel Göttsching, recorded in May and June 1977, but not officially released until 1991. This work is a classic of the Berlin School of electronic music and ambient, sharing a similar sound and meditative atmosphere with his iconic 1976 album New Age of Earth.Background & HistoryRadio Broadcast.

After a single broadcast in Berlin and Belgium, the recordings circulated among fans on bootleg cassettes and remained a legendary rarity for years.Official Release. The material was finally officially released on CD in 1991.
Unlike many electronic albums of that era, Göttsching used almost no automatic sequencers to create rhythmic patterns. The hypnotic, gently shifting tempo and pulsation are the result of his intricate live guitar playing on a Gibson Les Paul. The cosmic soundscape is further enhanced by ARP Odyssey and EMS Synthi A synthesizers, a Farfisa organ, and an EKO rhythm computer.

Despair — A bonus track recorded during the same period in 1977, which was not included in the original radio broadcast.
