Recording and music

Traumreisen is the third studio album which Rother recorded without any assistance. The entirety of the album was written and performed by Rother utilising guitar and electronic instrumentation.

In the interim between the release of his previous album Süssherz & Tiefenschärfe and the recording of Traumreisen Rother reunited with Klaus Dinger to record a fourth album as Neu!. The recording sessions were fraught and difficult, and the material was unreleased until 1995. The Neu! sessions were eventually released by Dinger as Neu! 4, and in 2010 remixed and re-released by Rother as Neu! '86. Traumreisen bears little relation to the chaotic Neu! sound, and maintained the increasingly ambient and delicate tone of Rother's solo work.

Releases

Traumreisen was first released on Polydor Records as an LP, CD and Cassette in 1987. In 1993, Rother secured the rights to his back catalogue and re-issued all of his solo albums with bonus tracks and remastered sound on his own label, Random Records. In 2000, Rother re-issued all of the albums again in partnership between Random Records and BSC Music. Expanded editions include the 1993-era tracks "Südseewellen – Radio Dance Remix", "Lucky Stars – Radio Dance Remix", "Trance-Atlantik" and "Südseewellen – Ambient Remix".

Reception

Traumreisen received positive reviews by the majority of critics.
