The Eastgate Music Shop about the CD release"Summer In Nagasaki is the second part of the so-called "Five Atomic Seasons". The compositions reflect the experiences Mr. H.T. -- an 82 year old Japanese business man -- made during the time of the atomic bomb dropping in summer 1945 in Japan. This dramatic incident coincided with the relationship to his early love -- his student fellow named Ayumi -- who had no chance to survive that horrible attack. H.T. was so heavily shocked that he decided to abandon the world by going into a monastery. The music -- written as one long track of 54 minutes -- dramatically describes a part of his life and destiny."

In October 2007 this release became available as MP3 download at the Tangerine Dream Download Shop.

In March 2009 the album was re-released with different cover design as part of an extensive digipack series (consisting of a total of more than 60 CD and DVD releases) by the Germany based Membran record label, and in May 2009 it was re-released in Japan as part of a series of HiQualityCDs with mini LP paper sleeves.

Furthermore, the album was released as double vinyl album with completely different cover artwork in summer 2009, together with Views From A Red Train and Autumn In Hiroshima.
