  Florian, The Emperor's Stallion - Lipizzan Lipizzaner
Florian is a magnificent Lipizzan stallion born on the Hapsburg stud farms of Lipizza, who was sent to the Spanish Riding School in Austria.
Every single movement of Florian's revealed nobility, grace, significance and distinction all in one; and in each one of his poses he was the ideal model for a sculptor, the composite of all the equestrian statues of history.
Although he intended to stamp a circle into the tanbark of the floor, Florian pivoted with his hindlegs fixed to the same place, giving the breath-taking impression of a horse in full gallop that could not bolt loose from the spot, nailed to the ground by a sorcerer or by inner compulsion.

'Ralf and Florian' however, is the first LP on which the band were able to utilise a proper keyboard-synthesizer, in preference to the organs and electric pianos previously employed, and this fact is what undoubtedly shaped this LP's contents.
Florian's ensemble is far more uncommon; there is a fair amount of electronic gear on display, though none of these devices have a keyboard as such.
If 'Ralf and Florian' were to be re-issued one can but presume that it would have been part of that re-issue programme.
