The music of Lustwandel is a series of ambient pieces for solo piano or electronic keyboards. Jim Brenholts, who reviewed Lustwandel for Allmusic, writes, in part:
These unique compositions have character, charm, and grace that separate them from standard e-music and avant-garde fare. Roedelius uses gentle acoustics and silence as integral elements of his sound design. He segues within his atmospheres seamlessly. The sound is distinct and fresh. Only Roedelius can sound like this.[1]
