Re-release of the original 1974 album by Gille Lettmann also known as Sternenmädchen. The album is an audio/music documentary about Timothy Leary, his flight to Europe chased by the FBI, meeting Walter Wegmüller in Switzerland, and his work with the Berlin Cosmic musicians. It contains album samples, some fragments of original electronics by Klaus Schulze and is hosted/narrated by Gille Lettmann. Many other voices are heard: Sergius Golowin, Dr. Timothy Leary himself, Brian Barritt, Walter Wegmüller, Liz Elliot and Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser (Ohr).

Sternenmädchen was not a band, but a nom-de-plume, a mystical persona created by Ohr boss Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser for his Cosmic Couriers cohort/partner Gille Lettmann. She became known as Sternenmädchen (which translates form German as Starmaiden). Unfortunately both Sternenmädchen releases sometimes end up being filed under Gilles Zeitschiff whereas that's the title (which translates from German as Gille's time ship).
