Overview edit
Mala Kunia was released as a limited edition on occasion of the Australian concerts in late 2014. The album features seven new compositions, including two which were co-composed by new band member Ulrich Schnauss together with Edgar Froese.
With this release a new Tangerine Dream era was started, "The Quantum Years", which focuses on a more back to basics approach to composition influenced by quantum physics.[3][better source needed]
This album is named for the name of two Aboriginal tribes – according to Aboriginal mythology – living ages ago around Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, whereas the Mala tribe lived on the sunny side and the Kunia on the shady side of the rock.[4]
The first 100 orders shipped of this release came with a photo postcard signed by all four members of the band.
