Epsilon in Malaysian Pale Epsilon in Malaysian Pale Epsilon in Malaysian Pale, also known as Ypsilon in Malaysian Pale, is Edgar Froese's second studio album, released in 1975. "Epsilon in Malaysian Pale" was recorded between June and July 1975, following Tangerine Dream's Australian tour, and was heavily influenced by the places they had visited whilst on the tour. David Bowie named "Epsilon in Malaysian Pale" as an influence for his Berlin Trilogy albums "Low", ""Heroes"" and "Lodger". "It was the soundtrack of my life when I lived in Berlin", Bowie once said. The album consists of two instrumental compositions, each originally filling one side
The Illuminatus! Trilogy the "what has gone before" introduction to "The Golden Apple" and the "Prologue" to "Leviathan". Some of the material in that foreword, such as the self-destruct mynah birds (taught to say "Here, kitty-kitty-kitty!"), appears nowhere else in the trilogy, likely a result of the 500 pages of cuts demanded by Dell. The omnibus edition gave a new lease of life to flagging sales, and became the most commonly available form of the trilogy from then on. The trilogy was translated and published in German, again both as separate volumes (the three covers of which formed a triptych) and an omnibus.
