They recruited Zabba Lindner (drums) from Sphinx Tush and recorded "Goodbye Future" (1972) as a trio, an ironic title considering the name of the group! According to Dag Erik Asbjornsen (Cosmic Dreams at Play) the album was technical better than the 1.st album as the engineering and production were handled by Conny Plank. The sound of Tomorrow's Gift had changed completely and now leaned towards instrumental jazz-rock with forceful keyboard and bass-interplay. It was indeed a very varied album: Canterbury-influenced jazz-rock with improvised free jazz parts, general Zappa - esque weirdness and musical jokes. The album wasn't released until a year after the recordings were completed.
The album was well received by all lovers of the genre. When sax- and clarinet player Norbert Jakobsen joined the trio in 1974 the new quartet changed their name to Release Music Orchestra and recorded five albums for Brain label. But that's another story. Album comes in exact reproduction of original cover (die-cut round whole cover), music remastered by Jörg Scheuermann, band story and rare photos. A real highlight, especially seventeen minutes track "Naturgemäß". Don`t miss this real gem!!

Powerful long tracks with plenty of guitar, organ, flute and drum solos and of course with Ellen Meyers strong vocals, often compared with Inga Rumpf from Fumpy or Janis Joplin. Indeed Tomorrows Gift and Frumpy musically had a lot in common and are highly appreciated by many fans till today. The recordings were newly remastered and for the first time there is a comprehensive story of the band with a lot of unseen photos describing the decline and fall of Tomorrows Gift written by band founder Manfred Rürup. CD comes with a 28 pages booklet; LP with 4 sided insert (in cover shape). Don't miss this all time classic of German Rock!
