My old vinyl-record from 1974 still is in good shape . . . and the following
review is quite fair:

"Eberhard Weber's first record remains his most well-known and influential.
An ambitious work of what might be called symphonic jazz, The Colours of
Chloë helped to define the ECM sound -- picturesque, romantic, at times
rhythmically involved, at others minimalistic and harmonically abstruse.
Weber at various points combines strings, choir, synthesizer, and small jazz
ensemble. It's a brew that can bring to mind some of the progressive rock
and fusion of the era, although Weber's vision is a good deal more
idiosyncratic than that. The disc is comprised of only four tracks. First is
the atmospheric, stage-setting "More Colours," followed by the title track,
during which pianist Rainer Brüninghaus and drummer Ralf Hübner become
active. Next is "An Evening With Vincent Van Ritz," featuring deft Rhodes
chording from Brüninghaus and a flügelhorn solo by Ack van Rooyen. Finally,
there's the nearly 20-minute "No Motion Picture" (this was originally side
two of the LP), based on a fast, repetitive bass riff that keeps re-emerging
throughout the course of the composition. People will disagree about whether
The Colours of Chloë stands the test of time, but Weber's aesthetic played a
significant role in the creative music of the '70s, attracting a fair share
of emulators." ~ David R. Adler, All Music Guide

Well, I think it does.
