"The soundtrack to this 1969 German sexual comedy was produced by Improved Sound Limited, showcasing their killer blend of experimental pop, blues, rock, jazz, funk, and easy listening, augmented with tape effects, phasing, and distorted guitar. Groovy songs influenced by '60s beat and psychedelia. The Wah Wah reissue adds two bonus tracks to the LP, originally both sides from Improved Sound Limited's debut single in 1966, plus an extra bonus EP featuring four songs from other soundtracks they did for TV series and films between 1969 (their single containing two songs for the Der Betten student film) and 1973 (including two songs from Krempoli, directed by Michael Verhoeven). Newly mastered sound by Jörg Scheuerman. Comes complete with an insert with photos and liner notes. Limited to 500 copies only."

"The previous three Improved Sound Limited CDs (LHC 7, 9 and 12) were re-releases of vinyl albums, Road Trax is a genuine first release of Improved Sound Limited music from three films. While the previous CDs contained predominantly songs of the band, 39 of them, here we find different musical forms: mostly instrumentals, fragments and 'songs without words'. Why is this album called Road Trax? Simply because the music is about being on the road, or at least it conveys a very mobile feeling. Acoustically, the music reflects the feeling of being on the move. It is a companion for long journeys, whether with the film camera or in a car. Moving at a slow pace, it portrays long and wide spaces, breathes melancholy, distance and boundlessness."

"Third album from 1976 of brilliant German band in the tradion of Beatles, Byrds and Eagles. 12 catchy songs with remarkable hook lines produced by David Hitchcock (early Genesis, Caravan etc.) and recorded in London CBS-Studio. 'Suicide Road' in a vocal version of the main theme from Wim Wenders movie In the Course of time of which the Soundtrack was composed by Improved Sound Limited. 'If I could read her Mind' is definitely one of the best ballads we ever heard. Great informative booklet with support of the band."

Artman, (Lord of the Rings poet), sophisticated compositions with intelligent lyrics, great mellotron on 'Humphrey Bogart', and fine guitar work (acoustic and electric)."
