Opium is a studio double album by German-born guitarist Ottmar Liebert and his band Luna Negra. The album's first disc is called "Wide-Eyed" and features an upbeat, nuevo flamenco sound,[1] reflective of Liebert's previous work.[2] The second disc is called "Dreaming" which features a mellower, ethereal sound.[3] Opium was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1997 for Best New Age Album.[4] The album was inspired by a postcard that Liebert received from his paternal grandfather, who had worked on the South Manchuria Railway.[5] Opium was produced by Ottmar Liebert, along with his brother, Stefan Liebert.
