Schulte named the group, in fact, after his admiration for the music on Desert Solitaire, an album by American New Age synthesists Steve Roach, Kevin Braheny, and Michael Stearns. Solitaire's dark, textural pieces and occasional ethnic rhythms are a marked contrast to the sequencer- dominated heritage of the '70s German electronic New Age Music popularized by Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze. -------------------------------------------------------------------
