Ginkgo Garden - Back In Time (2002)

For their fourth album "Back In Time" Ginkgo Garden turn the clock back over 200 million years and enter the age of Dinosaurs - the so - called Jurassic Period. Mother Nature was still young then and the ginkgo, the oldest tree in the world, spread its first sprouts. Dinosaurs appeared and the existence of mankind lay far ahead. The symbiosis of animals and plants was peaceful.

Mastermind Eddy F. Mueller, who once again has written all compositions for this new Ginkgo Garden album, created a musical time travel and went "Back In Time" with his choice of instruments and elements: a mixture of voices, guitars, saxophones, Japanese bamboo flutes (Shakuhachi), analog keyboard sounds and "Far Eastern" sound samples adds up to an Asiatic/European retro sound which enhances the album’s central idea and fits perfectly into the unique style of Ginkgo Garden. Established characterisations like "New Age" or "New Instrumental" or "World Music" can only partly describe this music ­ because Ginkgo Garden use a multitude of styles to enchant the listener.
