AllMusic[1]

Exit is the sixteenth major release and eleventh studio album by the German group Tangerine Dream.[2] The first track features an uncredited Berlin actress[3] chanting, in Russian, the names of the continents of the world and pleading to end the threat of "limited" nuclear war,[4][5] which was a potential danger facing the world during the late Cold War era in which the album was released. Exit reached № 43 in the UK, spending five weeks on the chart.
