We saw the film of 'Shy People' last year and it is a remarkably good film
and well worth checking out although I suspect it was not put out with the
help of the Southern States tourist board. We were wondering where 'Dancing
on a white moon' fitted in the film but if you listen carefully to the
radio playing in the daughter's bedroom, there is is.
The film version of these tracks is slightly different from the album
version. (maybe it's just our ropey video) Our favourite track is :
Civilised Illusions but 'Dancing on a White Moon' and the 'Shy People
(Instrumental)' are also superb.
One final quesion : who was the tall dark, shadowy figure stomping through
the swamp?

That was the husband (to Hershey's character; father to her children)
who was often spoken about as though he was dead. That point is
kind of blurred when Butrick's character shows up at the end of the

Well, perhaps I did make too much of this, Steve, but I think you
have gone too far the other way. Admittedly, there is some clearly defined
pablum in this release, but I do find some of the compositions quite
breathtaking. The variety of style, I also find interesting. Particularly
the oriental flavors, which I have a affinity towards, are very well done.
I will agree, some of Franke's other releases are more dynamic, but
I am impressed with the fact that this is his first 'concept album', and that
as a 'concept album' this is quite well done. I am also relieved that Franke
is aparently not resting on his laurels as a Babalon 5 composer, but is
instead exploring some other avenues of creative composing. Pablum not

What he was probably refering to was 'A Time For Heroes' which was a cd

a whole album of material. ( Meatloaf, performs a vocal version on the

There were releases of music from/for the 96

Yes, this is true and there also is a promotional issue of the CD in a
cardboard sleeve. Does anybody have this promo issue? I am curious if the
actual disc is different from the store issue or is it just the packaging

The promo issue that I have is in a stiff, clear plastic slipcover, with
two inserts; the regular insert that came with the store issue, and another

Is there any indication that Edgar Froese might release some of
the probable heaps of old TD tapes that he no doubt has in archive? There
must be thousands of hours of unreleased work after over twenty years of
recording. If he doesn't make these available, at least he should transfer
it onto a more reliable medium before the tapes are no longer playable. That

though I lived in Bonn for 10 years, I don't know too many good
places close to the Beethovenhalle in Bonn, except the 'Bazooka',

I played it last night, and the story is true. I always thought there was
something different about the album, but I guess I never played them back
to back before. It is amazing this info has never come out before...(Not
even 'Voices...' makes reference to the error. Maybe Edgar doesn't even

How and when was this first discovered?

Those tracks were from Poland (The segment of Barbakane titled 'Warsaw in
the Sun'), and Le Parc (L.A. - Streethawk).
A Time for Heroes (The Theme of the 1987 Special Olympics, that TD
composed) is somewhere between Barbakane and Optical Race in terms of its
'sound'. Anthemic; with electronic horn sounds....and cheesy as
Velveeta. In fact, it sounds like it could have been a theme from some
early eighties TV action show (like Streethawk? Hee hee!). It was a
limited edition, and as such it's quite the collector's item, but I traded
mine because I really just didn't care for it much. I'm sure a few hard
core collectors on the list still have copies though!

Subject: 'The London Concert' - criticism and other heresies
Really-From: Mark Filipak
** Long Post **
Hi Dreamers,
I've been going through my CDs recently culling out the weak
ones, and came across 'The London Concert' and 'Pacific Coast
Highway.' No, I'm not going to cut out either, but it does
remind me of the fact that I found 'Klemania,' boring and
derivative and recycled it to the used-CD place. I'm not a
completist and will not hesitate to get rid of a mediocre work
by even the most gifted artist. So I spent several hours
listening to 'The London Concert' as I worked at my computer.
I then ran across an interview with Chris on why he left TD. I
replayed 'The London Concert' and would like to share some of
my heresies with you for general discussion.
Put simply, 'Empire of Light' is a 5 minute string of sound
effects. It nicely serves to put the listener into an
expectant mood -- which must have been very memorable to the
live audience -- but his makes the nature of the material
immediately following all the more surprising and perplexing.
The next track, 'Purple Waves,' is a simple, repetitious song
for half of its 16:36 and comes as a real let down after
'Empire of Light's' ominous and expectant rumblings. After
eight grueling minutes, it goes into a extended bridge to
nowhere consisting almost exclusively of repeated argepios
before returning to a reprise of the initial song for the final
four minutes. Along the way, Franke hints at just about every
base construction TD has ever used. Unfortunately, these
constructions are dropped as quickly as they are picked up
without leading to any new structures -- as though we were
being taken on a museum tour of ancient implements, quickly
going from one diorama to the next. Every time I hear 'Purple
Waves' I almost cry for its utter lack of spirit, for it's
forlorn, almost powerless feeling, as though all the life had
been sucked out of it -- and for missing Edgar's touch.
'Cloudburst Flight' brings back some of that old TD because it
harkens to those elements of musical construction that are TD's
hallmark. It layers a 16 note fugal progression, rapidly
played, over an _abstract_ melody line, to which is added a
guitar lead and an underlaying drum base. It's classic TD and
about as different from 'Purple Waves' as you can get. It is
this classical construction that is Edgars and which Chris can
reproduce, as he does here, but cannot duplicate.
In 'Black Garden View' Chris returns to his 'song' form. It is
a very nice little song -- reminding me a bit of Pat Matheny
and Lyle Mays -- but it is just a song, and not a very durable
one at that.
But in 'Vermilion Sands' Chris shows his strengths to
perfection and reminds us again why we love him. It consists
of a marvelous, 4 minute long rock'n'roll piece with backbeat
percussion and abstract 'oriental' lead that is far too short
for my tastes. If you didn't know it before, this composition
announces to all that Chris is at heart, a rock'n'roll
drummer. It would be interesting to see the music industry's
reaction if Chris could put together a whole album of
compositions like this one. This track inexplicably ends on a
2 minute, dramatic etude that would have felt right at home on
the album 'Poland' but feels just tacked on here -- as though
Chris wanted to cover all the bases.
'Mountain Heights' reminds me of a classic TD song of the
Melrose years. In fact, it would fit right in on the album
'Melrose' and sound like an integral part, which is pretty
surprising when you consider the fact that Chris had left TD
three years prior to 'Melrose.'
I've always felt that 'Dolphin Dance' was more Chris' tune than
Edgar's. Hearing Chris' slightly faster rendition of it on
'The London Concert' has done nothing to dissuade me of that
opinion. It's a great rock'n'roll song. I wonder what Edgar's
rendition without Chris would sound like.
The last track on 'The London Concert' is 'Private Diaries.'
More than any other on the album, I think this song is
simultaneously a statement of Chris' musical aspirations and
limitations. It's a straight ahead, light rock song without
vocals, again reminding me quite a bit of Pat Matheny. As nice
a song as this is, its lack of development only serves to
highlight Chris' inability to build more complex and lasting
structures on the wonderfully rich and romantic foundations in
which he excells.
Listening to 'The London Concert' brings home to me how much
Chris and Edgar are missing from each other and how much we are
missing because they broke up. That said, I nonetheless think
that Virgin-years-TD minus Edgar produces a smaller quantity
than does Virgin-years-TD minus Chris. I'm not trying to say
that I think that Edgar is the 'better' composer. I'm saying
that they can only be obliquely compared, like trying to judge
the sizes of two objects across the room from each other -- you
can look at one and then the other, but you can't look at both
together, at least not any more -- and when the two were
together, it was impossible to tell for sure where one ended
and the other began. But Edgar's compositions seem to always
be unique even when repetitious whereas without Edgar's
teutonic structures, Chris' compositions sometimes get
formulaic and, too often, a little syrupy.
I will keep 'The London Concert' dispite the weaknesses of
'Purple Waves,' 'Black Garden View,' and 'Private Diaries.' To
get an idea how great this album, and all other Franke albums,
could be in my humble opinion, program your CD player to play
'The London Concert' in this order
1-3-5-6-7
and see what a difference it makes. Then try 2-4-8.
My general reaction is that though Edgar has been roundly
criticized for going commercial, I think the people who left TD
have gone more commercial than Edgar ever has. Also, I think
that Tangerine Dream is and always has been Edgar's band and
that it continues to retain the essence of the Dream, even
today.
Any reactions out there?

I don't know about 'more commercial' but I would certainly
say that the majority are 'just as commercial'. Perhaps in
Chris' defence, he has shown quite a range of styles since
leaving (extremes perhaps being Klemania and Celestine
Prophecy). But I don't think there's any denying that
Pacific Coast Highway is one of the most Americanised
albums TD or ex-TD have released.
Other notable 'commercial' ex-members include Paul
Haslinger (whose two albums I really like) and Peter
Baumann. I was very shocked when I heard Phase-to-Phase and
heard the vocals. Sounded like John Foxx to me!
Johannes Schmoelling, IMHO, has stayed closest to his
'experimentation' roots (first 3 albums, anyway), although
even he shies away from the long tracks toward the short
pop-song.
IMHO, of the four ex-members and TD mentioned above, only
TD (and possibly Schmoelling) are going anywhere. Franke
bounces from one project to another, changing style and
reception as required. Baumann, obviously, is out of the
music business. Haslinger, IMHO, has produced two albums
which are very good, but which are too similar. If he isn't
going to disappear from my 'must-buys' list, like Franke
has, then his next outing must grow, change, evolve.
Any comments on my comments? Reactions to my reaction?

Tangerine Dream
'Stratosfear'
Published - 1976
Copyright -1976
Purchased - 1976
Format - LP
Label - Virgin International
Catalog - VI 2068
Personnel - Froese, Franke, Baumann
Is that _little_ _Jerome_ on the inside jacket of this LP? It sure
bears a resemblance. The haircut looks similar, too.
Very space moody. Maybe more mood than music. It appears to have
the personality of an unused soundtrack. The music is obviously Tangerine
Dream, but the lead instruments are missing for the most part. When there is
a melody, it is very subtle.
For some reason it is difficult to come upon any thoughts or
feeling about this recording. I'm not particularly connected to this music,
either positively or negatively. As it plays now, I wish it would do
something other than just sit there, but it doesn't. So, .. .. .. .. .. ..
tomorrow I'll listen to it again and see what happens.
<------> <------> <------> <------> <------> <------> <------> <------>
<------> <------> <------>
A new day.
And an answer.
Volume is the key. 'Stratosfear' works in spades at high volume.
It appears that at medium to low volumes, where I was set yesterday, that
much of the subtleties and nuances are lost. Today, with the volume at the
three o'clock position, there is much more life here, and it doesn't sound so
much like mindless noodling. Of course three o'clock doesn't mean ear
shattering. On my pre-amp three o'clock is just comfortably loud. With a CD
three o'clock would blow the windows out, but this is a low output
moving-coil phono cartridge running into a medium gain pre-pre-amp and then
into the phono pre-amp, so even with the volume control pinned at '10' it
would still not clip the amps.
All this makes me wonder what the CD sounds like. Maybe time will
tell.
This is good, I think I give it one more listen.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot - - favorite track - - 'Stratosfear'

Regarding Rolling Stone, I think the reason they ignore it is the same
reason they panned Progressive Rock (they're often lumped into the same
category). According to the book 'Rocking the Classics,' a new book on
Prog Rock, it doesn't have a sort of neo-Marxist, anti-establishment
attitude. The author maintains that RS and others think that anyone with
talent or formal training in music is automatically part of the hated
establishment. Never mind that Prog and E-music has always been far
removed from the mainstream, more so than any of the so-called
'alternative' bands that RS drools over now. Those bands are the ones
they should _really_ hate, since they're just a facade of
anti-establishment-ism covering a corporate money machine. Take REM, for
example. (One of my favorite bands, BTW) They once were the kings of
alternative rock, now they signed an $80 million record deal with Warner
Bros.

Hi,
Stratosfear: a favourite! (and 5 my-S)
compared to the albums before (Ricochet, Rubycon), TD seem to
compose and play with 'economy' - there is so much nice silent
space between the notes, which makes the space sound and breathe.
And - also in contrast to previous albums - they play some
chord progressions.
I cannot really decide for a favourite track - maybe I'd say
'The Big Sleep in Search of Hades' with that wonderful
bass and harpsichord arrangement, and '3 am.....'
(ping ------ blop ------ ping ------blob)
^ ^ ^

lots of beautiful space here!
and so many nice sound effects in the background. Really a
landscape! And no muddy disgusting 'bridges' = glue sounds out of
boring sperical keyboard voices, whose purpose is just to
avoid some nice silent space.
btw: Stratosfear was the very first TD album I spend money for.

Ha, a question for me!
This has something to do with astronomy. The 'Plejades' is a
star cluster, one of the very very very few you can see with naked
eye (right now, in winter time!!!). If you want to look for it,
I can tell you how to find (provided you're not living too far
in the southern hemisphere).
I understand the album 'Zeit', just like the whole trilogy
'Alpha Centauri', 'Zeit', and 'Atem' (to me this is a trilogy) as
a description of the evolution of the universe and the origin
of life. (think at the sleeve not to alpha cen: this album is
dedicated to everybody who feels obliged to space)
'Birth of liquid plejades' has probably something to do with the
origin of stars. Imagine a huge gaseous cloud of lightyears size
('Nebulous Dawn'?). Such a cloud will contract because of its own
gravity. Under certain circumstances, the cloud developes some
denser, clumpsy cores (with some I mean anything between some dozens
and some hundreds). These cores can/will become so dense and hot
that nuclear reactions are ignited: then you have a star, still
imbedded in a dense cloud.
I spoke about a lot of cores in this clouds: not just one, but a lot
of stars are created more or less at the same time. The strong
(ultraviolet) radiation of the hottest and biggest stars (these
are those with high masses, up to 10 of the sun) will evaporate
and blow away the rest of the dust. What you see then is a star
cluster, just like the plejades, with no or just a bit of gas left
(photographs of the plejades actually reveal such remnant gas).
Why 'liquid plejades'? In some manner, though this is not true
physically, the original 'cloud' is like the smeared out, 'liquid'
version of the cluster. After all, it is exactly the same material.
About the connection to Dali - probably less related to astronomy -
I guess it is just very probable that Froese had this Dali title
somewhere in his mind.
so much for now about astronomy

I'd have to disagree in 2 cases: Schmoelling, and TD itself. Current TD
*is* still a great deal more accessible than in many previous
incarnations, even if it is several cuts above 95% of 'all the other stuff'.
I played _Dream Mixes_ to a bunch of my friends in biology last
year--most of them didn't even like techno/dance, and it was a pretty big
hit! I *don't* think they'd react the same way to _Ricochet_, though.
And their tendency to hire Satriani-clone guitarists, with all the
stylistic baggage that brings, has brought them a good deal closer to
mainstream rock than a lot of (ex-)fans are comfortable with--not that
it's winning them airplay, but there is a great deal less difference
between TD and Yes than there used to be.
Schmoelling is definitely the *least* commercial of any of the TD
stable. (Why is it so many people seem to think 'short piece = commercial?')
Although I thought 'Songs No Words' was pretty insipid, his post-TD music is
probably the most 'personal' of all the TD stable.

I've not heard any of Baumann's solo stuff, but most people here seem to
think anything he did after _Transharmonic Nights_ was, as the Brits
might put it, shite. I guess he moved into what, Human League-style
electro-pop? I don't know if I'd label Haslinger 'commercial' just yet,
although I feel forced to question his motivations for getting MTV air time.

I was pretty unprepared for how _World Without Rules_ changed my view of
_Future Primitive_! After having gotten used to _WWR_, I must say that
_FP_ sounded, well, 'much less mature'--it just doesn't quite have the
same 'venom' that _WWR_ does. Although I must agree with John Battema's
assessment that Paul seems to have sacrificed a lot of his musical
idiosyncracies between those two albums in favour of the more outwardly
'global' sound. (which I'm sure he isn't losing sleep over)
> going to disappear from my 'must-buys' list, like Franke

As Paul Haslinger, he will probably keep on the global/ethnic path. He
has other projects, though, like Coma Virus, where he'll explore
different facets of his musical personality (e.g. the 'Lightwave' style).

Brain has never issued CD's. Their parent company, Metronome, re-issued
some of their stuff, but to my knowledge, after Brain died, nothing
appeared with the Brain label.
If people are interested in learning more about the Brain releases
(which includes TD, Ed solo, and some other Kraut-rock bands) I can post
an article that appeared in Progression magazine a couple years ago
about Brain. Pretty interesting article.

Erdenklang (twice, _Wuivend Riet_ and _Songs No Words_), Polydor (_White
Out_), and the now-defunct Theta (which _Zoo of
Tranquility_ was originally issued on.) I really think his music has NO
commercial appeal.
The TDI reissue business is probably more like a favour from old friends deal,
and only TD fans who like Schmoelling's music will be aware of that (the UK
Dream Mixes got almost ZERO exposure here--I found it as an import in what is
normally a 2nd hand place).

Hi there. This was my second Tangerine Dream purchase back in 1986, a
few weeks after getting Exit.
The guy at the record store said that this was a quiet album. He was
right about that for sure. I think my favorite tracks are 'The big
sleeper in Search of hades' A friend once commented 'That sounds like a
jazzed up title for highway to hell. I like the chord progression and
the flute improv, and the spacemusic middle is pretty cool too.
My next favorite part of this recording is the piano part at the end,
though the guitar improv on Encore ads something to it.

Really-From: Michael A Jean
I don't doubt your story...I heard several people (some as far away as
GREECE) say the same thing... I don't know about you all, but whenever I
used to see a new TD album, I would always pick it up on the spot! I
remember reading the newspaper that Friday night when the movie opened. I
remember seeing TD mentioned in the fine print of the 'AD', but I don't
recall ever seeing the 'OST available on 'XXX' records...by-line'. For
that reason, I intended to go see the film in the theatre, so I could view
the credits. I don't remember seeing that phrase in on screen either. I
checked the local record shop, which always stocked TD rarities. I was
certain they would have kept the copies, even if they were recalled, and
they didn't have them! If this story is true, I just want to know why no
one has ever been able to produce a real live copy of the LP!!! I don't
doubt that a OST was intended for release ( given the German radio
broadcast of some material and the discography from TD themselves, that
listed it as being available in 1984). However, all our concerns may be
put to rest if TD finally goes ahead and releases it this year (as has
been rumored so many times before)....

Just buy good music! This business of artists ceasing to be of interest
once they're popular is so cliched. Of course, most really popular
artists ARE bland, but that's not the point.
I do, on the other hand, wholeheartedly endorse buying second-hand! CDs

His first and fourth are on the German Erdenklang label. The second
was on a now-defunct label, and the third is more-or-less available if
you search around for it--yet I think it, too, is out of print. The
first one came out in the USA on the now-defunct Lifestyles label, but
the others are all German-only, as far as I know.

No. Finding unauthorized uses of TD music in soap operas, sports
coverage, television current affairs shows and the like could keep a
team of lawyers in business...and does! Plus, movie studios may reserve
the right to use music composed for one of their movies in the trailer for
another. Witness the use of Dead Solid Perfect music in the trailer for
'Intersection'.

Really-From: 'Marcel Engels'
Froese was born in Tilsit in 1944
He studied painting and sculpture for 5 years.
He had classical music training , but that quickly
changed to rock 'n' roll/popmusic. This was in 1965.
The first group ('65) in which Froese played was called
The Ones. It was a conventionel rockgroup with
gituar, bass, organ, drums and singing.
Personel of The Ones:
Detlef, Charlie, Edgar, Mick and Wilfried
In 1966 their first single was: Lady Greengrass/Love of Mine
Labelnr: 148593.
In summer 1966 they had to play in Cadaques, Spain.
There they met Salvador Dali. They played in his villa.
Froese was really impressed by Dali's work. Dali's always
said that everything is possible.
Froese thought of the idea that everything could be possible
in music too.
In September 1967 Edgar formed Tangerine Dream with the
following people:
Edgar Froese - leadgituar
Volker Hombach - flute and violin
Lanse Hapshash - drums
Kurt Herkenberg - bass
Charlie Prince - vocals
They started improvising with strange sounds (amplifying
the violin and then feedback the thing etc).
In March 1969 TD changed their personel.
Edgar played with a bassplayer from The Netherlands and
a drummer from Liverpool/UK. They only made a TV-soundtrack
and nothing else.
Then came Klaus Schulze and Conrad Schnitzler and the rest
is history. (well we don't know half of it, but anyway).

'Strange Behavior' was also known by the rather unappealing titles 'Dead Kids'

There are a TON of other TD-soundtracked films, but some were unauthorized uses
and many contain only studio music. Here's a few off the top of my head...there
are lots, lots more, especially from the early 1970s....and no, I haven't seen
any of these except Miracle Mile, Kamikaze and Rainbow Drive. :-)
Geradeaus Bis Zum Morgen (1972 german TV)
Ein Fuer Alle Mal (1973 German TV)
Oedpius Tyrannus (1974)--the stuff from the London stage play, of which there's
the track Overture on 'V'
Ninja (Japanese? 1978, unauthorized use of stuff from Sorcerer)
Future War 198X (Japanese? 1978, unauthorized use of stuff from Phaedra, I
think)
Something with a german title that translates to 'The Most Dangerous Game'
(1979, Edgar solo)
Something called 'Kneuss' (1979)
Spasms (1981)--allegedly lame horror movie about a killer snake
Kamikaze 1989 (1983, if you're counting EF's solo stuff)
Forbidden (US made-for-cable, 1985 I think)
Red Heat (1986)--allegedly bad women-in-prison movie, I think (no I haven't seen
it :) )
Red Nights (1987)
The Game of Love (1987)
City of Shadows (a.k.a. Nightmare City) (Canadian, 1987)
Miracle Mile (1989)
Rainbow Drive (1990)
The Switch (1992 US TV movie)
And don't forget Canyon Dreams and Oasis!

I doubt permission was given, but I can't say for sure. I know other soap operas

from Thief, for instance. I don't know of any other series they scored.

Jim. You are absolutely right. When I wrote that I wasn't thinking
about Johannes. The reason? Because I didn't know he had _any_ albums
out. How, you might ask, can anyone on this list not know JS has had 4
albums? Because I've only seen one, 'Wuivend Riet' which I bought as
soon as I saw it in 1987, and have since forgotten about. There haven't
been any other Schmoelling albums in the US.
I'm sorry I forgot Johannes Schmoelling. I find 'Wuivend Riet' to be a
totally honest, spontaneous, and heartfelt work. It's too bad that
almost guarantees commercial oblivion.

I had already purchased the US release of Dream Mixes, so it hurt the wallet
to have to buy the import. Iowa put me into a coma, but Sojus brought me

backwards! And it still became one of my favorites. After awhile I
noticed
it was backwards but assumed it was intentional. It wasn't until I
heard
another copy that I figured it out (and that took awhile to notice
too...I
had to verify my suspicions on a 4-track to be sure I didn't just have
some different version on import or something). Now I like it equally
both
ways! It's almost like having a double album! Try that if you want
another
perspective. It retains pretty much the same feel as the other way but
it
is a different experience. If you have a 4-track, open reel deck, or a
digital editor you can flip-flop it that way.

I absolutely agree with you.
BUT, today you still can make good music also on digital equipment.
Only some of the musicians don't bother to program it correctly.
But then again, nothing like the old Moog and Mellotron. (and about
all of the analog stuff).
One thing still wonders me. I have a very simple monphonic synth
which I bought 2nd hand from somebody for just a fart.
The filter inside is absolutely fantastic. My point is that nowadays
they make special DSP-processors to make filters etc. but they
still sound like shit. Haven't 'they' learned anything?

I played it last night, and the story is true. I always thought there was
something different about the album, but I guess I never played them back

Not to be a party pooper, but this has been discussed several times
during the last year. I've had this on LP for years and years and I never
realized it until I read it here a year ago. It sounds perfectly fine palyed
backwards or forward, at least until one is aware of the error. Now, of
course, it suddenly sounds wrong.

English summary follows...
Dirk...es gab 2 Tatorts mit TD Musik Mitte der Achtziger: 'Das Maedchen auf
der Treppe' und 'Miriam'. Eigentlich ist keiner der Songs auf einem Album
drauf, sondern nur damals als 2 Singles erschienen. Allerdings ist 'Das
Maedchen auf der Treppe' eine ueberarbeitete Version von 'White Eagle', und
daher kannst Du auf dem Album 'White Eagle' eine sehr aehnlich klingende
Version hoeren (die laut allgemeiner und auch meiner Meinung nach sogar
besser als die Tatort-Version ist). Die Tatort-Version gibt es auch auf
einem 'Schimanski' Sampler auf CD, dort sind insgesamt 3 TD Stuecke drauf
('Das Maedchen...' und 2 Stuecke von 'Miriam')
SUMMARY: Dirk wanted to know what album contains the track from the German
TATORT series from the mid-eighties. I explained to him that there were 2
mid-eighties TATORTs, that the tracks were only released as singles, but
that 'Das Maedchen auf der Treppe' is actually an updated version of White
Eagle (with White Eagle sounding much better anyway) and can be found on
the album of the same name. 3 tracks from the 2 TV-singles are available on
the 'Schimanski' compilation CD.

translation for the non-germans:
'Can anybody tell my on which album to find the Song from the mid-eighies
Tatort? Maybe on Exit?'
All I can say:
You probably don't mean the 'White Eagle' Version 'Das Maedchen auf
der Treppe' (In this Tatort Movie you also find 'Network 23' from
Exit played at somewhat lower speed).
The other Schimanski-Tatort 'Miriam' contains music you may find
on the TD Soundtrack 'Wavelength' in a slightly different version.
There have been singles and/or Maxisingles from both Tatort shows.
There is also a sampler with music of Schimanski Tatorts, but I don't
know whether there is more TD than 'Das Maedchen auf der Treppe'.

Yeah, makes you wonder why each album these days struggles to achieve
the range of sounds (or composition) that were present in Stratosfear.
Melodies, increible sequencer work, not a drum machine in sight.....
Seems that in the old days the gear was really put to work but now
it's just a matter of hammering a few notes of the famous electric

Subject: Synergy/Metropolitan Suite
Really-From: synergy
I thought that I might be able to clear up a question about the running
order on Metropolitan Suite. When the album was completed in late 1986
LPs and CDs as well as cassette versions were all for sale in most
stores. The 'real' running order is the one that appears on the CD.
That was the way I intended it. However the head of the Jem/Passport
label group, Marty Scott, preferred the more 'classical' Suite to appear
after the other tracks. My compromise was to let him run it his way on
the LP and I'd run it my way on the CD--with the idea that the CD would
probably survive longer. Redstone wasn't on the LP because it was
considered a CD bonus track at the time, but it did make it onto the
cassette which otherwise matched the LP running order. And that's all
there is to it.

almost! The Tangents version of 'White Eagle' is a slightly
tangentized version of 'Das Maedchen auf der Treppe', which is
a heavily 'tangentized' (better 'tatorted') version of
White Eagle.

Hmmm...I wondered about this too, I think it must be wrong, though!?!?. A
little history-check is in order here. From the information I have read so
far, Edgar was born in the city of Tilsit (Marcel posted this info
yesterday as well).
Now, Tilsit was part of the East Prussian ('Ostpreussen') part of the
German Empire, and after World War II was taken by the Soviet Union. It is
now called Sovetsk and is still part of Russia to this day. This region of
East Prussia had been German for a very long time and the story of millions
of German refugees fleeing from that area in the last months of the war is
firmly engraved in the heart of many germans.
I think the confusion might have been created by the fact that Lithuania
('Litauen' in German) had been in part belonging to 'East Prussia' as well
(the original country was divided up between Russia, Austria and
Prussia/Germany in 1795) and after a turbululent history of being occupated
by the polish, russians and germans as well as having regained
independency, was finally annexed (again) by Hitler in 1941.
After WWII, this part of East Prussia was also taken over by the Soviet
Union, and much later with the formation of sovereign baltic states there,
it is now again part of the state of Lithuania (Lietuva).
Well, I sure hope I got that correct...it's been a few years since high
school history classes...Anyway, I think it is wrong to say that Edgar is
from Lithuania...more correct would be to say that he is from
Russia...Maybe someone just looked at the map and said: East Prussia...well
that is Lithuania now! Or Edgar was born outside of Tilist...in the region
that is now Lithuania? Then again I am not too familiar with the history of
Lithuania, and maybe Tilist/Sovetsk was in fact in former times part of
that country...to my knowledge this is not the case, though.
Any history buffs out there???

I agree with you. If Edgar were to get together with Chris F. or Peter
Baumann and burn a CD/album with Mellotron/Moog and no equipment made after
1982 (except for mixing and possibily sequencing), I would pay $100 for it.

No, that means using gimmicky dainty instrument sounds and the short 'song'
style as opposed to the old developing orchestration if you will. TD was all
about the composition of the song back in the 70's and early 80's. Now it
seems like it is based on sounding as modern as possible with heavy drum
use. Heck, TD barely touched drums in the 70's and 80's and they did quite
nicely...

another copy that I figured it out (and that took awhile to notice
too...I
had to verify my suspicions on a 4-track to be sure I didn't just have
some different version on import or something). Now I like it equally
both

it
is a different experience. If you have a 4-track, open reel deck, or a

I stand corrected. I checked with the author of the article I mentioned,
and he said Metronome re-issued the Brain catalogue with the Brain logo,
but the company was defunct by then. A similar situation occurred with
the Grateful Dead's albums Blues for Allah, Wake of the Flood and Steal
Your Face. These were issued originally on Grateful Dead records, then
re-issued on CD in the '80s. GD records was no more, but the CD's said
GD records anyway.

Really-From: Kent Eskildsen
Hi, there...
The Keep was actually on the satelite channel TV Norge last sunday. I was doing
something
else, so I just had the the TV running without the sound (recognize that
situation?),
when I suddenly realised that this must be The Keep, which everybody on the
list was
talking about, so I pumped up the wolume in a flash.
I had not seen it before, but I think it was all right. Well, the ending was a
little bit
'too much'!
The music was - as always in TD soundtracks - in too manu short pieces, but
there was a
longer piece with choir which sounded interesting - almost classical in nature.
Another funny thing; In the beginning of the film there was a small boat
crossing some
ocean in the sunrise. Many years ago Edgar Froese played a piece called
'Fishermanns
Morning' from The Keep in a german radioprogram. I`ve always liked that piece
of music
very much and wondered what the pictures to this might be - I guess I have seen
it now,
but this time without the music...

I originally found this album as a cut-out LP in a used record

I bought Lightwave's 'Tycho Brahe' for Marshall Wood and decided that
before I send it, I should listen to it and make sure it's okay -- so I
did. (Now I wish I could keep it.)
What a wonderful album. It blew me away. Now I'm going to be looking
for one for me! I'll try to describe it.
'Tycho Brahe' is very spacey; with long ambient synth drones and many
intreguing and surprising sounds that rise up in happy clusters from
time to time only to die off gradually. Sometimes these sounds are
tinkely, sometimes rough, sometimes a violin, sometimes a growl, but
always subdued and somehow appropriate; and with lots of what Marcel
would call interesting spaces around the music. And music it is --
recognizably so -- but abstract -- just at that very engaging boundary
between recognition and random sounds, like some of Eno's ambient
series. I worked to this music for several hours and never found any of
it either overly demanding or boring. I highly recommend it. And
obviously, it is about as non-commercial as it could be.

Subject: Brain/Ohr article from Progression magazine (long)
Really-From: 'Plumer, Scott'
This is an article that was featured in Progression magazine a few
months ago. It discusses the history of Brain and Ohr records. It is
reprinted here by kind permission of the author.
ACROSS THE CHANNEL
by
Allen Gunnison
This installment of 'Across the Channel' will look into the world of
progressive rock record labels from Europe. There have been a host of
more or less independent labels that have cropped up over the last 25
years with the most intriguing country being West Germany. It spawned
some of the most interesting labels.
The seventies were a kinder and gentler decade for music in general and
progressive rock in particular. The development of AOR (album oriented
rock) radio allowed for great diversity of musical styles. AOR evolved
from the underground radio of the late sixties. The progressive era
began as the psychedelic era died. Top 40 was a dirty word and radio
programmers were ready and willing to experiment with a wider variety of
music. 'Rolling Stone' magazine had not yet declared progressive rock an
inappropriate form of rock music.
It usually started on the overnight shift, where DJs were free from
time and commercial restraints. Radio stations routinely played extended
tracks, since the rush for profit wasn't as poweful as it is today.
Moreover, the long running times of the cuts gave the overnight disc
jockey's a running shot at the bathroom.
It may be difficult to imagine in the grunge plagued world of the
mid-1990s, but the original 'alternative rock' was progressive rock. It
was alternative to the mainstream which 25 years ago was the three
minute Top 40 song. I was part of an early experiment in college radio
at Kent State University. WKSU-FM started 'Fresh Air.' It ran seven days
a week from 11:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. The playlist was a pantheon of
progressive rock with King Crimson, Genesis and Van Der Graaf Generator
the norm and not the exception.
'70s rock bands from any genre didn't need hit singles to succeed. Led
Zeppelin had only one top ten single ('Whole Lotta Love') and no rock
band was more successful than Zeppelin in the '70s or any decade.
Many of the major record labels jumped into the deep end head first.
They signed all types of artists and success came from some unlikely
places. 20 years ago a record label was needed for any band to succeed.
The goal of any band was to get signed. The cost of making vinyl records
really prohibited bands from developing their own careers.
The few independent labels that did exist had a magical quality. The
three German labels, Brain, Ohr and Kosmische Musik, were the most
visable. They all had some association with Metronome GmbH. Metronome
was a full service label based in Hamburg with all types of music from
classical to German pop. Metronome has been purchased by an
international conglomerate and no longer exists.
Brain was the biggest of the three and a direct subsidiary of
Metronome. There were more than 100 releases on Brain. The label was not
exclusively for progressive bands, but even the more mainstream bands
had a bizarre quality to them. Most of the albums were from German
artist, but they also released German pressings of bands like Caravan
and Greenslade. All the albums featured that unique Brain logo (see
figure 1) where the word 'Brain' became the brain on the label. The
earlier releases, up to about #1060, the logo was Brain with Metronome
just below (see figure 2). Some people think that these albums had
better pressings and increased fidelity. It is difficult to say because
all the Brain albums featured almost immaculate vinyl.
The first release was 'Lonesome Crow' by the Scorpions #1001. I've
never seen a Brain copy of this album. It was released on Billingsgate
in the States and later reissued on another Metronome label by the
mid-seventies. Second was Jane's 'Together' and there are other notable
albums from the first 10 releases including the work of Neu, Cluster,
Guru Guru and Grobschnitt. The first Grobschnitt #1008 from 1972 was
more psych than progressive, but hinted at better things to come. The
first 10 releases provide plenty of electronic and psychedelic madness.
The next 10 catalog numbers from 1011 to 1020 include some of the
rarest on the Brain label. Gash, 'A Young Man's Gash' #1014 was
extremely difficult to track down and a lost classic with extraordinary
cover art from P.V. Spreckelsen. Os Mundi, '43 Minuten' #1015 is an
album that's music almost defies description. Creative Rock 'Gorilla'
#1017 is fairly middle of the road rock.
The first Thirsty Moon #1021 from 1972 remains one of the great albums
from the jazz-rock genre. This seven man operation from Berman could
share the stage with any band in Europe. It had just about two of
everything -- keyboards, guitars and brothers. The cover art of Gil
Funcius defined the whole concept of cover art. As far as I know, this
album has not been reissued on CD. Novalis' 'Banished Bridge' #1029 was
their first and only one with English language vocals.
Curly Curve #1040 was one of those hard to define album's. It was
primarily hard rock, but with something extra. Thirsty Moon 'You'll
Never Come Back' #1041 was their last great album and the last one with
a seven man line-up. Like the first it features great cover art by Gil
Funcius. The only Brain release for Satin Whale 'Desert Places' #1049
and displayed their unique sound that mixed a little more rock than
jazz.
Edgar Froese's first solo project 'Aqua' came out on #1053 while Klaus
Schulze's first album on the Brain label was 'Blackdance' #1051. Froese
and Schulze were and still are two of the heavy-hitters in the world of
synthesizer music that was once called space music. Unfortunately, they
got lumped into the world of 'sewage' (new age if you want to be
precise).
'Ballerman' #2/1050 was the first of the true classic albums from
Grobschnitt. This double LP has one album just for the studio version of
'Solar Music.' The photographs of the band on the cover give a hint to
the insanity that was yet to come. Brain release two versions of 'Jumbo'
#1076 was the English language album and #1081 was in German. The German
pressing had a black cover and was rarely imported.
Novalis released their second album as Brain #1070. It was their only
album with guitarist Carlos Kargas. They also began the exclusive use of
German vocals. Thirsty Moon trimmed its roster to a quartet for 'Blitz.'
Unfortunately, they trimmed out most of the talent. This instrumental
album is filled with fairly ordinary funky jazz-rock.
Brain changed their numbering system after #2/1091 'Brain: History of
German Rock.' It was about this time that some of the magic came out of
the label the first 90 releases were special. Metronome switched the
numbering system to a 60 prefix for single albums and an 80 prefix for
double albums followed by a three digit number, e.g., 60.291 or 80.121.
The labels on the Brain albums came in different colors. The majority
of the LPs featured a green label with the Brain logo. In 1976, they
switched to orange. Grobschnitt was a special band and had some of their
later albums released with a black label including 'Illegal' and
'Razzia.'
Ohr began in Berlin in 1970 as an outlet for the growing psychedelic
scene in Germany. The logo was a human ear on a white background with
the phrase 'Macht das Auf.' Ohr was reserved for some of Germany's
strangest musical pioneers.
The first release was Floh De Cologne, 'Fleissbandbabys Beat Show' OMM
556 000. Floh De Cologne made four albums for Ohr and two of them were
live. The music is difficult to describe. It was hard rock, but with an
added dose of psychedelic insanity that made them nearly unlistenable.
Limbus 4 'Mandalas,' OMM 56 001 couldn't even be defined as rock. It's
a hodgepodge of assorted western and third world instruments. This four
man group from Heidelberg may have indulged a little too heavily on the
chemicals of the time. It had great gimmick packaging with a yellow
balloon inserted in the middle of the pink cover. It's difficult to find
one with the balloon still attached. I have one if anyone is interested.
The initial Tangerine Dream album 'Electronic Meditation' was released
in 1970 with the catalog number OMM 556 004. This album is the only
appearance of the Froese, (C)laus Schulze and Conny Schnitzler trio. Who
would have believed that a version of Tangerine Dream would still be
active in 1995 with a back catalog of more than 50 albums. The original
pressings of 'Alpha Centauri' OMM 556 012, 'Zeit' OMM 556 021 and 'Atem'
OMM 556 031 are still highly collectable.
There were many other legendary albums from the Ohr label. Ash Ra
Tempel OMM 556 013, 'Schwingungen' OMM 556 020 and 'Join In' OMM 556
032. Ash Ra was one of the pioneers in electronic music with Manual
Gottsching on the guitar and other devices.
The first Klaus Schulze solo album 'Irrlicht' originally appeared on
Ohr, OMM 556 022. The album mixes electronic sounds with an orchestra
and is subtitled 'A Quadrophonic Symphonie fur Orchester und
E-Maschinen.' The session was unusual to say the least. It seems that
the orchestra conductor never could quite grasp the concept of the
project. In fact, he thought Schulze was nuts. 'Irrlicht' would be the
only Schulze complete album on Ohr.
One of the most interesting artifacts of the time was the 'Kosmische
Musik' sampler OMM 2/556 027. Popul Vuh, Ash Ra Tempel, Tangerine Dream
and Klaus Schulze all contributed to this double LP. Most of the tracks
were from earlier albums, but Schulze and Ash Ra Tempel created original
work for this album. It's a very attractive package with M.C. Eischer
cover art and a booklet that provides information (in German) on the
groups and a history of the space music movement. Timothy Leary is
mentioned several times and that should provide some clues as to where
these guys' heads were at some 25 years ago.
Other notable albums from the Ohr label include Embryo 'Opal' OMM 556
003, Guru Guru 'UFO' OMM 556 005 and 'Hinten' and Annexus Quam 'Osmose'
OMM 556 007 and 'Beziehungen' OMM 556 028.
Kosmische Musik was the smallest of the three labels. It was reserved
for the space music crowd and included some of the comic jams that
featured most of the top German electronic artists. The Cosmic Jokers,
which was a who's who of German electronic musicians, had two albums KM
58 008 and 'Planet Sit In' KM 58 013
Ash Ra Tempel 'Seven Up' was first at KM 58 001. Klaus Schulze's
classic space album 'Cyborg' KM 58 005 remains one of the great double
albums of all time. It's a sonic powerhouse on all levels. The original
has a different cover than the Brain reissue.
Wallenstein's 'Cosmic Century' KM 58 006 and 'Stories, Songs &
Symphonies KM 58 014 are the only two albums on KM that could be called
straight progressive. These are actually their third and fourth albums
after 'Mother Universe' and Blitzkreig.' Jurgen Dollase (keyboards) and
Harald Grosskopf (drums) led this five piece band.
All the KM albums were the sound of the Cosmic Couriers. I'm not quite
sure what the Cosmic Couriers were all about, but they had an address --
The International Cosmic Courier Club, Cosmic News, 5 Koln 80, Postfach
850227. I doubt if anyone is still manning the space ship.
I tried to complete my list of catalog numbers for this article, but I
came up a little short. I know several individuals who claim they have
all the numbers, but they would never send me their lists. I'm sure
there is a book out there that has this information, unfortunately I
don't have it.
I know that there were two albums by the British group If on Brain.
Light's 'Story of Moses' was a very early Brain number. Walter
Wegmuller's 'Tarot' was on Kosmische Musik and Walpurgis had an album on
either Ohr or Brain. If anyone can fill in any of the numbers write me
at P.O. Box 29361, Cleveland, OH 44129 and 'Progression' will up date
the list in the next issue.

Thanks a lot, that was nice to read!
Two small remarks for those who can't read german:

Probably it is 'Fliessbandbabys' which would mean 'construction belt
babys'.

It is actually ''Macht das [the ear-logo] auf'', so it should
mean ''Macht das Ohr auf'', in english: open your ears.
I've never seen the original Ohr releases of Alpha Centauri, Zeit, and
Atem. The Ohr-Electronic Meditation is exhibited in the museum for
the history of the Federal Republic of Germany in Bonn. The
Virgin reprints of Electronic Meditation also do have the Ohr logo
(at least I've got a copy of these).

Subject: Re: 'Pacific Coast Highway' going, going, ... (fwd)
Really-From: Mark Jones
Following are my thoughts on Franke's 'PCH' project:
I never considered this album as 'New Age,' whatever that is anymore,which
gives it some credit. It didn't immediately sound
prepackaged-happy, as many albums do. I enjoyed the California ambience he
created by using the
guitar, piano, and flute instrumentation for the melodic structures and
framing them with the lush electric harmonies and chord washes. A nice
job of orchestration. I also liked the abstract-portrait effect,
eliminating any concrete narrative and relying wholly on the listener's
imagination to create the meaning around the phrases. Coincidentally, the
album makes for excellent driving music, which might be what he intended
to begin with. I live in the desert, so there's little ocean around, but
his music goes down very well while hitting I-10 at rush hour as the sun
sets.
At the same time, I was kind of disappointed with some of the 'flat'
qualities to the album. I'm not talking sonic excitement, but more a
sense of variation and difference in approach. The album also has a
curiously flat overtone. It's given to the same emotional feel over and
over again, just with a different melody line. Usually, good music (for
me) works just the opposite: taking similar variations of one theme and
creating a variety of emotional effects with them. That's what I've
always admired about TD. And some songs were just plain stupid. For
example,
Purple Waves, which shows promise for the first minute or so,
unfortunately descends into a nauseating sea of self-pity (ref the
bird-cry and alienated radio voices) ala later era Floyd. Rather
unoriginal.
However, I like the CD enough to keep it for the occasional moment when
it seems like a really good idea to play it. So there's my $.02, and
quite a lot of words for it. I'm new to the list and to discussion groups
in general, but I'm glad to be here and to see that there are in fact a
lot of people who are interested in electronic music to give it some
intelligent and critical discussion.
If anyone wants to post separate to the list, my email address is below.
Thanks for keeping the Net interesting.

Sorry Mark. It was a little presumptive of me to assume you were just
unsure about posting to the whole list, wasn't it?
Track 12 of 'Pacific Coast Highway' is titled 'Electric Becomes
Eclectic.' By writing about Track 12: 'Done much better by Deuter,
Kamal, Anugama, ...' what I mean is, I think Chris' work is derivative.
That Chris is ripping off any one of three new age artists that used
flute with reverb, better and more originally. I didn't even mention
Paul Horn and I should have because everybody have been ripping him off
ever since 'Inside' -- where the reverb was real reverberations within
the Taj Mahal! -- an absolututely amazing album. But by 1991, such
treatments were/are pretty passe -- afterall, how would you react if
Chris incorporated whale sounds? -- get my point. That doesn't mean
that reverb flute is off limits. It just means either 1, you'd better
be damned good (better than Paul Horn -- isn't going to happen), or 2,
you'd better combine this trite approach with something original
(something, if you are Chris Franke, that only Chris Franke would think
of).
Do you agree?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the version that I have. The reissue on Jive Electro. My memory
served me well. Really cheapo packaging on this one. The cover is a black
and green computer generated grid pattern, with the odd pyramid thrown in
to add that 'mystery' angle. Text in Copperplate Gothic font. The back
is plain green (an emerald green) with just the song titles and a big ass
UPC code. The booklet offers the standard band history ('name inspired by
the Beatles 'Sargeant Pepper' album'....YAWN!), and a band picture circa
1973. Edgar seems to have a....is that a joint in his hand? Well, he
seems to be smoking something, anyway. I seem to recall reading an
interview in which Edgar stated he gave up all drugs around 76 or 77.

Really-From: Boneheads1@a...
I seldom listen to Stratosfear. It seems to have captured a mood at a time
very well. I had forgotten the similarities between 'The Big Sleep In Search
Of Hades' and the end of Encore. Looking at the cover I would call it
brilliant. I remember someone telling me of people levitating at the
beginning of 3 A.M. At The Border Of The Marsh From Okefenokee.
I guess this is Peter Baumann's last studio album with 'em. He provided
counterpoint even in silence. This is some of the only TD music I ever heard
play on prime time radio. Stratosfear seemed like such a change in direction
after Phaedra, Rubycon and even Ricochet. It also came out at the exact same
time as Macula Trancefer.
If you listen to it over and over it turns into Zeit.

Lifestyle, the label that released Wuivend Reit in the U. S., went out of
business quickly. I don't know what other albums they released. From their name,
and the little bird emblem on the logo, I assume they tried to ride the New Age
bandwagon. Actually, I think that Wuivend Reit was fairly well received,
particularly the song 'Matjora is Still Alive'. I still hear this tune
occasionally on a local (San Francisco) station. The announcer inevitably
stumbles over his name and the titles. When it first came out it got regular
airplay though. I wouldn't be surprised that album airplay and sales were hurt
by Johanneses difficult to pronounce name, along with the difficult to pronounce
album title and 'hit' song. One can imagine someone hearing 'Matjora is Still
Alive' on the radio and attempting to ask their local record store clerk for
that album by....ummmmm....

Really-From: AslanFan1@a...
Just got the box set from RPM records. A few quick thoughts. The 5th disk of
new materials blows away the new material on Tangents (except Silver Scale).
Two of the tracks are actually quite good, one is alright (although a bit
demo-ish sounding) and one's kind of a snoozer. The reworks of the early
material (disc1) make the songs listenable for the first time, as for me, the
originals before Green Desert were painfully abstract and tedious. It's got
an impressive collection of photos, including tag lines stating the year and
location of each shot. For the life of me, I can't understand why Dolphin
Smile was left off of this set, though. Still, the new material was a
pleasant surprise. Let's hope Edgar continues to open the vaults and let the
jewels out. . .

Really-From: Mark Filipak
Hi gang. Still more early mysteries to clear up -- with the help of you
folk who have the old CDs.
The five albums below (first five if you consider when 'Green Desert'
was performed, not released) came out on CD at about the same time (same
year?) from Jive Electro. Sean Montgomery has identified C TANG 1 as
the version of 'Green Desert' with a 'Tron' look to it -- very
different. Someone else (sorry, I can't remember who -- perhaps it was
Sean) said that all of them came out with 'different' covers. Before
confusion ensues, there was a 6LP reissue in 86 that had them all on
vinyl with different sleeves, but I'm talking CDs here.
Also, Dave Datta apparently has an error in his discography because
these came from his list and there are two 'C TANG1's and no 'C TANG4'.
Sean has confirmed that his 'Green Desert' is C TANG 1, so that means
that the 'Electronic Meditation' CD from Jive must have been C TANG 4.
Can anyone confirm this. And were they all issued in 86 from the UK?
Thanks

This could be very interesting, because I think the surroundings

If you're interested in the music which influenced them, have

KTWV 94.7FM. 'The Wave' used to play a lot of 'new age' stuff. And
at one time actually had recorded the Artist announcing their own pieces.
'Matjora Is Still Alive' and 'Walking On Wooden Legs.' got quite a bit of
airplay.

Well....there are the numerous references to and reworkings of the track

Hi Mark.
I own the Jive release of 'Electronic Meditation',
and I confirm it's C TANG 4. The cover shows the same
'Tron' look as in 'Green Desert', but in pink (perhaps
to emphasize Pink Floyd influence? :-) )
I own also Jive 'Atem' as well as 'Green Desert', but
the only year I can find in 'Atem' booklet is (P) 1973.
Again the same pattern on the cover, this time in orange.
The 3 CD's were 'made in Austria by DADC'.

It was not meant as a put down on Macs and I know Apple invented
Quicktime. I just thought there may be a way to run it on a Mac even

Label - Ohr
Catalog - OMM 2/56021
Personnel - Froese, Franke, Baumann (and a host of others)
I've always thought it peculiar that the grooves (or should I say
groove, since there is only one) is/are jammed onto the outer edge of the
disks, with lots of space unused near the center of the LPs. I believe this
was done because there is more distortion at the center of the LP where the
groove radius becomes so narrow that the inner groove wall starts going by
the stylus faster than the outer groove wall, thus causing audible
mistracking. It seems to me that only the most conscientious of recording
manufacturers paid any attention to this phenomenon.

That many disks would qualify the work as a 'bootleg' and, since in this case
it would be the copying of copyrighted material, it is a bit worse than
bootlegging, it is piracy. In the case of doing just a few, it is just a way
of getting something that is not really out there, in a small enough operation
that will not be viewed as piracy for it is a limited release (and done at a
cost).
Morality wise, it is still a copyright infringment, and avoiding all that would
be simple by having the company legitimely release the CD's, as we all know.
A few CD-R's, I can live with. 1000, however, would hurt my principles,
however
elastic they may presently appear, especially that, at $1.60 a copy, it could
be seen as a way of making money (i.e. piracy).

Really-From: 'Francisco Salgado C.'
HI EVERYBODY!!!
Today is for me a fantastic day! I have just received a copy og this
fantastic triple CD bootleg.
N.P. fdisk 2: Digital Times, a live TD performance in 1992 (it's not
mentioned where this happend). This is an audience recording of amazing
quality and TD performance is of 4 or5 AS.
Disk 1, from 1976 is not bad ( the current TD improvisation of that
period) and is, maybe, the weeker of the three.
Disk 3 is called Paris Dreams, and date 1986. It's a very good recording
and performance as well. Ths bootleg is a bit expensive, but it's worth
every penny. I am sure I will enjoy it a lot more than Goblins (fools)
Club ( sorry Edgar, but I think it's time to begin un-dusting those
famous tapes of your past performances and risk a 10-20 CD release, as
did your college Klaus, I am sure I wold be a great success).

Well that's interesting....
Obvously one of them is Quinoa ( 1992)
Then the second one has to be Sorcerer (1977)
being the song ( and this is my guess ) Grind, theme nr. 7 of Sorcerer
and stragely played in the last theme of Quinoa ( or at least this is a

Well I saw it at progtron. But I didn't buy it there.
I got it from one of this list, but I think that it sould be
taht person who has to manifast itself.
I am sure that he can send private e-mails to the persons interested.
Progtron is at:

And it has a lot of bootlegs. Just search for Tangerine Dream.

First, I have every intention of getting Tier Dream 2 and 3 ASAP however I
have one comment. I too have been somewhat unhappy with recent TD
productions. Turn of the Tides was still quite good. Goblins Club is really
confusing because it has 8 songs and if you dragged someone off the street
and played it, they would think it were a sampler of 8 different artists.
However, I can say that there must be hope for old-TD lovers (70's-80's), a
good sign is track 8 from time index 1:45-3:15. There is some familiar
sounding stuff there...

Subject: thoughts on_Goblin's Club_ (long-ish)
Really-From: gyedid@P...
Well, I have *finally* worked up some time to say some things about these 2
albums; nothing very profound, mind you, and probably nothing that others
haven't already said.
I do think _GC_ is better than _ToB_--but not by much. If the Armin scale were
non-integer, then _ToB_ would get about a 2.9 and _GC_ a 3.3, maybe 3.4. I
still think the best things that have come out of TD's studio in the '90s are
'Quinoa', _TOTT_, and _Dream Mixes_.
'Towards The Evenning Star', after a month and half, still reminds me more of
an
Enigma piece than anything else--and it's not just those vocal samples. It's
something about those drum loops--groove-oriented, yet very crisp, and almost
martial-sounding at times. Is that real Minimoog on those bass notes? Anyway,
this is one of the better pieces on the CD--not overlong, doesn't say more than
it needs too, but a little predictable in its structure and development. Nice
to see the keyboards doing a little more melody work for a change.
'At Darwin's Motel', after its Six Pianos-like intro, changes into what sounds
(to me) like a not-too-bad development of Edgar's 'Metropolis'. The
Indian(???)
vocals sound like they are being sung by a munchkin, though, and are largely
VERY out of place. At times, they sound like they *almost* fit in, but the
overall effect is that that kind of stuff just doesn't come naturally to them.
The ending is effective and mysterious-sounding, but again, a rather odd,
seemingly misplaced conclusion with regard to the rest of the piece. Not the
first time TD has done it either, I don't know why they do things like that.
Without the vocals, the piece would have been a 4AS. Only a 3AS as it is.
Having got _World Without Rules_ with _GC_, I think I know know what separates
the boys from the men in the global-sounding game.
'On Crane's Passage': 'Jungle Journey' reborn a la Jerome, with a more
forward-moving, almost 'tribal' rhythm instead of 'JJ''s trip-hoppish drums.
The guitar on this piece sets the tone for the rest of the album--no more
show-offy Satriani-like solos, it doesn't try to dominate the piece or 'save'
the song--despite its similarity to JJ, this piece stands pretty well on its
own, IMO. The intro sequence is almost FSOLish-sounding.
If there's one piece that makes me understand why some people say the album
lacks 'tension', it's 'Rising Haul...'. Yes, I can sort of agree that it's got
a much more laid-back, almost 'bachelor-pad' kind of feel to it, but the
central
section is interesting, especially where it seems to almost jump out of time.
However, my feelings towards the piece as a whole change pretty much with the
phases of the moon! One day I can listen to it and be unmoved, the next I'll
be
thinking, 'that really wasn't so bad, in fact it's pretty good'. What bugs me
the most (regularly) is that 'wimpy' countertheme, the one that sounds like
'Lifted Veil'.
For me, 'United Goblins' Parade' is like 'Sun Gate' all over again. Edgar does
all he can to save this piece...with a guitar solo. I don't get the reason for
the 'angelic' instrumental backing, and this has got to be some of the worst
drum work I've ever heard in a TD piece--and it's by Edgar! Why is it people
say that it's *Jerome* who's got no talent as a drummer??? All this with a
guitar solo that harkens back to the days of _Thief_--it reminds me a lot of
'Beach Theme/Scene' and 'Homeless', and is a darn nice piece of work.
I find it rather tough to say things about 'Lamb With Radar Eyes', even though
I
think it is the best piece on the CD. Great sounds, none-too-predictable
structure, distinctive Jerome-sounding chordal progression and drums, and quite
complex sound layering. But the guitar bit seems a little snuck in there, like
the brief solo from '220 Volt'. The last 1.5 minutes remind me a little of the
denouement (and general feeling, actually) of 'Little Blonde...'.
OK folks, I tried *really* hard to like 'Elf June...'. Really I did. But
aside
from the nice oboe solo sequence, the piece makes me think of a wordless
Charles
Aznavour song! YECH! If this is what Linda's being in the band means, I'm not
going to be too optimistic for the future...this may be heresy, but I am
increasingly of the opinion that the band's salvation lies more and more with
Jerome.
The first 2.5 minutes of 'Sad Merlin's Sunday' are fantastic. Atmospheric
acoustic guitar and synth, similar to the end of 'Santa Elena Marisal', and the
additions to the Tangents version of 'Stratosfear'. But wait, what's this? A
70s style Moog sequence, with bell-like tones like on 'Tierra del Fuego'? Hey,
no fair Edgar! That's teasin' us!!! Once the sequence drops out, the piece
turns into an overlong distillation of ideas from various _BtS_ that doesn't
seem to explore far enough in any direction--and why should it almost, for
ground already (and more successfully) trodden, that didn't do more than it
needed to? This piece ends up lacking the warmth and charm of its influences,
and ends up being quite unsatisfying as a whole.
I'm on my brother's computer, it is late, and I'm being asked to leave...but I
think I've spoken my peace concerning this album. A 3AS, but just!!!

HI EVERYBODY!!!
Today is for me a fantastic day! I have just received a copy og this
fantastic triple CD bootleg.
N.P. fdisk 2: Digital Times, a live TD performance in 1992 (it's not
mentioned where this happend). This is an audience recording of amazing
quality and TD performance is of 4 or5 AS.
Disk 1, from 1976 is not bad ( the current TD improvisation of that
period) and is, maybe, the weeker of the three.
Disk 3 is called Paris Dreams, and date 1986. It's a very good recording
and performance as well. Ths bootleg is a bit expensive, but it's worth
every penny. I am sure I will enjoy it a lot more than Goblins (fools)
Club ( sorry Edgar, but I think it's time to begin un-dusting those
famous tapes of your past performances and risk a 10-20 CD release, as
did your college Klaus, I am sure I wold be a great success).

Subject: 2 letter acronyms for countries

Hi. A question for the friends in Europe for use in the TD

IT - Italia (Italy) US - United States
I would like to stick with 2 letter acronyms. I thought of using the
Internet top level domains, but they don't seem to make too much sense.
Any suggestions?

There is an international standard which gives both 2-letter and 3-letter
acronyms. It's called ISO-3166.
The Internet TLD (Top Level Domains) is based on this standard but where it
fails have creative wisdom been used. Changes in the world have however made
some of these entries more ambiguos then before...
Also, you should not distinct East Germany from West Germany any more... it's
just Germany (DE).
One page on the subject is:
http://www.iana.org/in-notes/iana/assignments/country-codes
This is the IANA page so it should hold for TLDs.

'CH' is used for Switzerland. It means 'Civitates Helvetia' (I guess,
my last latin lesson was 12 years ago. If I wrote it wrong, all
Swiss people might want to kill me...), is latin and means
'citizens of Helvetia', where Helvetia was the name for the region

the Roman Empire.

Yes, 'German Democratic Republic' = 'Deutsche Demokratische Republik'.

This is kind of what I was saying in my last message. The first couple
minutes are so incredible, acoustic guitar intro and then a lead in to a
very 1976-ish TD sound. Then it dies after 2:45 and there's 9 minutes of
rambling--let's try to come up with a rhythm before the CD's over--feel.

IIRC when TD signed to Jive in 86, Jive released a box set of LP's called
'In The Beginning'. The CD's were then all released separatley, all with the
same 'tron' style cover but in different colours.
Relativity released 'Green Desert' shortly after the box set was released, but
before Jive released the CD's. It was available here in the UK for a few months
before the Jive release. The Relativity release has the round picture of a
desert on it.

listen to the extended version of 'purple waves' which is one of my all-time
favourite sequencer bits. This beats a load of other albums (even a lot of
TD albums). An alltime classic. Just had to get that out of my system... :)

PS: By the way, almost everything in KLEMANIA was music from the Raven
series, even the techno-like bit. I once taped almost every episode of that
series and tried to put most of the music pieces on a tape.

Really? The techno-like bit that makes up the first track on _Klemania_
also appeared in the finale of the first season of Babylon5, at the New
Year's Eve party when Garibaldi was shot.

Folks,
I lost my student account and therefore am attempting to find out
how to access a far-away account directly via telnet rather than telnetting
from another existent account. It's reather messy. I cannot backspace

Each time I press the enter key, I see a dot (.) at the left reather than
any sort of cursor that I'd recognize. To get the computer to respond to
my commands,s I must use a control-x combination (which I discovered purely
by accident).
Can anybody help me out?

Subject: FAQ: Risky Business
Really-From: goozer@a... (Hermes Guzman)
Greetings all!
Yes, it's time once again for another FAQ! Please use a monospaced font
(such as Courier or Chicago) for display, so you may accurately view the
chart.
===RISKY BUSINESS===
Much has been made over the relatively small amount of music for what was
essentially a B-grade summer teen-flick. Add to this the fact that less
than 10 minutes of totally original music appear both on screen and on
disc. The rest of the material are merely extracts from _Force Majure_,
_Tangram_ (not included on any release), the song 'Sobornost' and _Exit_,
with new intros or instrument tracks. And yet, 'Love On A Real Train' has
become somewhat of a signature song for TD, as well as a fan favorite. In
fact, this song has a number of unique distinctions: there are _4_
different official versions (including the film version); it has been
remade in new versions for at least 3 other films (see below); and it has
been performed live on _4_ different tours!
Below is a chart which lists all of the music material from _Risky
Business_ that has been released to date. All track times are taken from
the original sources; in the case of the analog sources, a stopwatch was
used. The asterisks denote different versions of the same track; all
versions were played in A-B comparative sequence as well as simultaneous
sequence to determine any differences beyond simple fades. This should help
to clear up some of the confusion caused by erroneous information
(hopefully just simple typos!) in 'Voices In The Dunes':
Track Times:RBAK US LP UK CD DS T
Song Title:
The Dream Is Always The Same ---- *2:29 3:45 3:42 3:28
No Future (Get Off The Babysitter) *1:21 1:56 2:00 ---- ----
Guido The Killer Pimp *3:04 4:20 4:21 ---- ----
Lana *1:46 3:53 3:54 ---- ----
Love On A Real Train (Risky Business) *3:08 *2:21 3:59 3:58 *5:10
Porche Plunge I :30 ---- ---- ---- ----
Porche Plunge II :24 ---- ---- ---- ----
Cathing The Egg :11 ---- ---- ---- ----
Sobornost :57 ---- ---- ---- ----
If it is not asterisked, then it is not a new version, although the running
times may be slightly different. In the case of the song 'The Dream Is
Always The Same', the _Tangents_ version simply fades the last 17 seconds
off of the song, it has not been otherwise altered. The differences in the
RBAK versions of 'No Future', 'Guido...' and 'Lana' with the official
versions is that the new intros to these old tracks have basically been
removed. There was also a 7' release of 'Love On A Real Train', but it is
the same as the US LP version.
++And now for the 'Risky Mixes'! ; )
The following are alternate takes of 'Love On A Real Train' that the band
has done for the indicated films:
'Go To The Head Of The Class'-3 O'Clock High [3:12]
'Bonding By Candlelight'-3 O'Clock High (Simply half of the above track) [1:35]
'Running Out Of Time'-Miracle Mile (a very nice take on the song) [3:31]
'Taking The Test'-Catch Me If You Can (A truly _remixed_ version!) [1:30]
There are others, to be sure, but they have not appeared on any release to date.
++Live, baby, live! ; )
Once again, 'Love On A Real Train' has been part of four different concert
programs, as follows; '83 Polish Tour, '87 Berlin 750th Anniversary
Concert, '90 UK Tour, and '92 North American Tour. The track times are:
'Poland' ('Love On A Polish Train' remix) [8:40] from _Poland_
(Before anyone gets in a huff, the hi-hat and synth-flute rhytym tracks are
identical, as well as the synth-horn melody; do your own cross fade to
prove it! Fade in at 2:49 and fade out at 11:29)
'Love On A Real Train' ('Berlin Reichstag Station') [2:42] from _Antarktis_
'Love On A Real Train' ('Bristol Station') [2:49] from _In Den Garten Pharoas_
'Love On A Real Train' ('Seattle Station') [2:42] from _Three Phase_
And I'm sure more to come!

Subject: thoughts on_Goblin's Club_ (long-ish)
Really-From: gyedid@P...
>I do think _GC_ is better than _ToB_--but not by much.
I would agree. They both do seem quite similar. The main reason I like about
GC better than TOB is almost no
sax and more focus on synths sounds. TOB seems to be really guitar focused.
>'Towards The Evenning Star', after a month and half, still reminds me more of
anEnigma piece than anything else--and it's not just those vocal samples. It's
something about those drum loops--groove-oriented, yet very crisp, and almost
martial-sounding at times. Is that real Minimoog on those bass notes? Anyway,
this is one of the better pieces on the CD--not overlong, doesn't say more than
it needs too, but a little predictable in its structure and development. Nice
>to see the keyboards doing a little more melody work for a change.
Definitely one of the better tracks on the CD. I think your right about the
mini because the bass sound is
great. The track is really catchy and develops quite nicely but the drum track
reminds me of most of the drum
tracks used on Depeche Mode Violator CD when Wilder was actually playing drum
(so they say). It just seems to
distract from the composition which I think is quite good.
>'At Darwin's Motel', after its Six Pianos-like intro, changes into what sounds
>(to me) like a not-too-bad development of Edgar's 'Metropolis'.
The intro is great, I love repeating quick sequences but after the first minute
the song just completely
changes direction and doesn't ever seem to live up to the first minute.
>The Indian(???)
>vocals sound like they are being sung by a munchkin, though, and are largely
>VERY out of place. At times, they sound like they *almost* fit in, but the
>overall effect is that that kind of stuff just doesn't come naturally to them.
Agree. Not sure why it is so hip to use 'world vocals' these days but this is
clearly a track that it
distracts from.
>Having got _World Without Rules_ with _GC_, I think I know know what separates
>the boys from the men in the global-sounding game.
I think the reason why it works for Haslinger and not this track is Haslinger
is 100% into the use of throwing
sounds all over his track. Where on Darwinds Motel its just used hear and
there. I think the world effect
needs to be really strong and profound or it just sounds out of place or like
an afterthought.
>If there's one piece that makes me understand why some people say the album
>lacks 'tension', it's 'Rising Haul...'. Yes, I can sort of agree that it's
gota much more laid-back, almost 'bachelor-pad' kind of feel to it, but the
central
section is interesting, especially where it seems to almost jump out of time.
However, my feelings towards the piece as a whole change pretty much with the
phases of the moon! One day I can listen to it and be unmoved, the next I'll be
thinking, 'that really wasn't so bad, in fact it's pretty good'. What bugs me
the most (regularly) is that 'wimpy' countertheme, the one that sounds like
>'Lifted Veil'.
Probably my second favorite track on the CD. One of Jeromes best works. Some
really great synth sounds and I
love that chorus type section. Its a shame he didn't develop it a little
further.
>I find it rather tough to say things about 'Lamb With Radar Eyes', even though
Ithink it is the best piece on the CD. Great sounds, none-too-predictable
structure, distinctive Jerome-sounding chordal progression and drums, and quite
complex sound layering. But the guitar bit seems a little snuck in there, like
the brief solo from '220 Volt'. The last 1.5 minutes remind me a little of the
>denouement (and general feeling, actually) of 'Little Blonde...'.
I agree, best track. The first time I didn't think much of it but the second
time was a different story.
Reminds me alot of the 3 new tracks from Dream Mixes with a little less hectic
drum track. Again really great
sounds and I believe that the mini shows up again.
Elf June- I like this track it seems to follow the Lamb really well. Its
really flows well but again the
concept should be further developed. Have to admit I like the Haslinger/Frose
similar tracks better (i.e 29
Palms and Ghazel.
>The first 2.5 minutes of 'Sad Merlin's Sunday' are fantastic.
Atmosphericacoustic guitar and synth, similar to the end of 'Santa Elena
Marisal', and the
additions to the Tangents version of 'Stratosfear'. But wait, what's this? A
70s style Moog sequence, with bell-like tones like on 'Tierra del Fuego'? Hey,
no fair Edgar! That's teasin' us!!! Once the sequence drops out, the piece
turns into an overlong distillation of ideas from various _BtS_ that doesn't
seem to explore far enough in any direction--and why should it almost, for
ground already (and more successfully) trodden, that didn't do more than it
needed to? This piece ends up lacking the warmth and charm of its influences,
>and ends up being quite unsatisfying as a whole.
Agree 100%. I thought this was going to be the saving grace of the album. But
after the little sequences -
its just seems 12 string guitar. 12 string guitar and more guitar. I can help
it if I am synth kind of guy.
And it just doesn't seem to lead anywhere.
Oh well just my thoughts as well. If I had to put it on the AS it would fit
perfectly in between a 3 and 4.
The one thing that I do really like about the album is there are a lot of great
little parts to it. Certain
sections are really strong, some great sounds and ideas. But of course time
will tell, because it took me
about 6 months to really appreciate Dream mixes.

Just a reminder here, we know that Larry Fast is the band/artist

what most people don't realize is that he founded Sequential Circuits
& using his Electrical Engineering background designed the Prophet 5
synth that TD played. Sequential Circuits at one time had a large library
of sound samples for sale, most of which were the then new digital samples of
vintage analog sounds from Larry's personal collection.

Really-From: dhughes@g... (David J. Hughes)
Hi all,
I notice that there's been very little in the way of discussion of the
Network 388 compilation tape that a number of people from the digest,
myself included, contributed towards. I would have thought that such a tape
would be of interest to the majority of the folks on the digest and some
kind of review would be valuable both to those just starting out on a
musical career and those, like myself, trying to claw their way up the
greasy pole that is the music business.
Would anyone kindly like to do some kind of appraisal or critique of the
tracks on offer? I can't hide my own interests in this enterprise : a good
review means improved sales - that's the theory at least - so let's see
someone offer an opinion. There are a number of people on the tape whose
efforts are worthy of attention. Granted they may not have the equipment or
the budget to record their material to the same standard as the Tangs but
many of them obviously have a talent and a genuine musical ability that
shouldn't be ignored.

A person from the Tape trade comunity ofered me the posibility to do a

seed to begin with , I ask the persons who have a good tape ( such as
this famous that ended on Ardem-O bootleg) or any other, including a DAT
or minidisk form the Shepherd's bush performance, to contact me.
It's possible to do an analog and a digital tree. If this is successfull
we could organyze other trees to spread between TD fans those famous

I have to disagree with this statement. I'll admit that it is not story based
on morals or values. But it is
a classic story. A story which makes fun of probably the two biggest
challanges that most teen age boys/men
this about while in their senior of highschool
- Getting into a good university
- Sex (there I said it)
The story is great, not that predictable, Cruz is perfect in the role, some of
the lines (i.e. What the F???,
and Getting chased by Guido the killer pimp...) are timeless. Oh and How can I
forget the music is great!-its
fits the movie perfectly. While I think music for THeif does more for that
movie (i.e. predecessor to Miami
Vice) than the music does for Risky Business. There is no denying that people
who listen to movie music,
remember that Risky Business had that great electronic sounding score. And the
music defeinitely gave the
movie a certain effect that made it much more than a B movie.
And besides - for once some really good US esposure.

The only scene where I can remember really noticing the TD score, was
the scene where they make love on that tube train. I also remember that
it was the only memorable scene in the entire movie.
But I recall that TD enjoyed a certain revival about the time of the
movie. A lot of people bought that 3-lp set (with the ugly artwork),
which included two songs from 'risky business'.
I would also like to introduce myself:
My name is Lars Tangmark. I'm a swedish musician/student of 22. I'm into
a lot of elctronic music, especially the early/mid-period TD.
I'm looking forward to participate in the discussions on the list.
See ya!

> I do think _GC_ is better than _ToB_--but not by much.
I think GC is a considerable improvement. I tend to judge this kind of
thing by asking myself the question: 'would I like to just put this in the
player and listen straight through?' In the case of ToB, the answer is a
resounding no way. Catwalk is great, as are bits of Bride in Cold Tears,
but much of the rest just meanders. Goblin's Club, while still coming off
as somewhat disjointed in sections, parcels out its good stuff a bit more
evenly. And, yeah, the absence of sax was a big relief for me.
> I still think the best things that have come out of TD's studio in the

I'd certainly agree with Quinoa and Dream Mixes. And I'd say what made
those albums successful was that they had coherance, a focus...a point.
Turn of the Tides had some nice melodies, but seems overcooked and too
new-agey to my ears. And the 'Supertramp' section in 'Galley Slave's
Horizon' always makes me laugh.
In regards to At Darwin's Motel, I agree that the shift from intro to
main body is annoying, but I think the vocals are a great addition. As I
stated in a much earlier posting, I'm a sucker for this kind of world
music stuff, so I admit to being biased. Nonetheless, I prefer it to
Enigma's new album....which is marred by too many of Cretu's mawkish
lyrics.

True, although I think they're going for different effects. Haslinger is
going more for the guts and the groin. He isn't afraid to make his
music harsh if necessary. TD, on the other hand, continues its commitment
to painting cerebral sonic soundscapes. Rough edges are polished down.
There's a place for both, although I would agree that for some time now,
that polishing has made for less interesting TD product.

And I agree with you. A while back, I made a (somewhat ill-considered)
comment about Edgar needing someone in the band to disagree with him more.
I now believe that he already does - Jerome! Consider the difference
between 'Beyond the Storm' and 'Dream Mixes'. Edgar is obviously moving
towards classical influences more and more (witness cover versions of
Pictures at an Exhibition and Largo, along with ubiquitous harpsicord and
string sounds), while Jerome is injecting contemporary techno and drum n'
bass influences. I suspect much of the disjointed nature of some recent
TD pieces is a result of this clash of ideologies. Their albums work best
(Quinoa....Dream Mixes) when one or the other holds the stage
consistently.

I was interested to these influences at one point, and I tried to

Really-From: PNaunton@a...
19-Jan-1997
I was just reading about The Hermetic Order Of The Golden Dawn, a
secret occult organization existing between 1888 and 1903, and some
connections between them and specific people like William Butler Yeats and,
to a lesser degree perhaps, Salvador Dali. I began to wonder about Edgar and
his beliefs and their possible influence to his development as an artist.
Does anybody know anything?
I may be reading into it more than is reasonably appropriate, but
there seems to be a strong macrocosmic/microcosmic theme in the early TD
recordings, as has been discussed here during the last year or so.
Recordings like Zeit, Atem, Alpha Centauri, Rubicon etc. seem to focus on
this theme. This theme was also a cornerstone of The Golden Dawn philosophy.
Of course is could be complete coincidence, . . . . . . . . . . . .but as we
all know there are no coincidences.
Just curious.

I keep thinking lately that they should have stopped the current style
with _TOTT_. I don't know if it really was possible to develop it
further, aside from the groove/techno-ish influences Jerome first brought
in on parts of _ToB_ ('Little Blonde' and 'Bride In Cold Tears' being the
best examples). I sometimes actually wish for a full-out techno phase
out of them now! And since they do have 4 guitarists, I'd still love it
if they'd cover Metallica's 'Orion'.
Is there an e-mail address I can write to where one of the Froeses
*might* take this under consideration?

Well, to its credit, _GC_ continues with the more 'organic' feel that
_Dream Mixes_ had in spades; I mean the seamless transition from one
melodic/rhythmic idea to another that brought back more than a few
memories of the '80s TD.
er, which section of 'GSH' would that be? The opening bit with the tympani
underneath, or the third section with guitar solo and drum loop? But
_TOTT_ still has their best sax piece in 'Death of a Nightingale', and
their only really successful foray into the more 'ethnic' side of things
('Firetongues').

Well, I'm not sure I agree totally here...the MOST world-sounding pieces
on _WWR_ are two of its most ambient...I mean 'Dismissal of the
Hemisphere' and 'Asian Blue'. It worked really well on 'DoTH', with its
almost Lightwave-like opening and soft singing, but I must admit I find
'AB' rather annoying. I have to turn the volume way down for this one or
it really sounds like a braying assault to my ears. But you can hear the
flip side of what 'world' sounds can do for a piece of music VERY well on
'Monkey Brain Sushi'!!!
speaking of singing and _GC_: there is supposed to be a vocalist on
'Rising Haul'. I don't hear any vocal effects on this cut that TD
couldn't have done with their gear--where is it?

I'm not so sure about this...on _GC_ it seemed like the two of them were
working very much alone, 'Lamb With Radar Eyes' seemed to me to be the
only thing really approaching a collaborative effort. Jerome's musical
language is much more strongly chromatic than Edgar's, which...well, not
having perfect pitch, I can't name exact progressions, but often seems
much more modally oriented, or even strongly pentatonic (it has been in
the past--think of the melody of 'Detroit Snackbar Dreamer').
And Jerome is a much more consistent, competent percussionist than his father.
Edgar's (attempts) at drumming are admittedly less stereotyped than
Jerome's, but come off sounding anywhere from more 'conservative' (in an
old-TD-style sense) to downright missing the mark (like on 'United
Goblins Parade'). Pity too, because he actually had some pretty decent
drum tracks going on _BtS_! And he used to do such great stuff without
ANY drums at all!
So where this disjointedness comes in, if I must follow my own argument...
well...it seems to me that 'Sad Merlin's Sunday' and 'Haze of Fame' were 2
clear cases of trying to be all things to all styles. Contrast this with
pieces like 'Tierra del Fuego'--although it would meet the definition of
'commercial' many here seem to hold, it was directed, well-developed, didn't
deviate down other directions at all, and didn't say more than it needed to.
It expressed a single mood, and did it perfectly.
(Could it be Edgar has forgotten what made his old longer pieces so
successful?)
These newer attempts at long pieces seem to try to do too much with too
little, and when they contain multiple ideas, they either aren't linked
well or share a lack of relatedness. A piece I often think that does
both successfully is 'It Would be Like Samoa'; the closest the new TD has
come to pulling this off was, I guess, 'Birdwatcher's Dream'. Back to
the point of about what the current TD is doing, it seems like they
aren't really *meshing* at all. In fact, I don't know if their
ideologies have ever been more oppositely polarized than they are now!
As Edgar gets older, the rest of the band gets younger, but they diverge
more and more in their approaches.
(But maybe that's good...if they ever did try to *really* mix Edgar's more
classical leanings with Jerome's more contemporary sound...they might
come up with...Robert Miles.)
and now that I've kind of lost track of my point...

Subject: 'Iowa' and 'Livemiles pt. 2'
Really-From: Gabe Yedid
I was recently given a tape of the WDR broadcast of TD's '87 concert in
Berlin by my friend Jocelyn. It sure sounds like it would've been a
really interesting show to attend; I can't say I love it all the way
through, but there are some truly shining moments nonetheless, especially
in the first 45 minutes.
The version of the second 'movement' of 'Livemiles pt. 2' (as for the 1st
movement, I must say I prefer the concert version, much less saccharine)
struck me as being particularly interesting in at least one respect.
It's slower and less 'industrial' than the album version, and, once it
speeds up a little, has a familiar-sounding bass sequence and drum beat.
Where did I know that triple-stomp from...then it hit me! Both that
running sequence and the 'stomp-stomp-stomp' occur throughout 'Iowa' from
UK Dream Mixes disc 2. (Here I must admit to preferring the album
version over the concert one).
did anyone else notice this?

This is another vocal question I had that i didn't address earlier...in
addition to 'Rising Haul', it seems MOST of the vocal effects on _GC_
are nothing the band couldn't do with their gear!
I like to think I can tell the difference between an acoustic instrument
and a sample (having played in that environment for over 8 years now, never
heard physical modelling yet), and on a similar note, I think most of the
orchestral stuff on the first B5 soundtrack is samples and/or electronic
re-creations as well (hate to have to agree with Ford Thaxton, but...).
_Tenchi_ sounds like the real thing, though.

More likely, its a case of his deliberately not wanting to copy himself.
Both for artistic and commerical reasons. I sure wouldn't want to make
the same music every day for 30 years. Thus, I suppose he's just trying
to find something else. Although doing something like Dream Mixes
obviously opens the band to accusations of being copiers rather than
innovators, that shouldn't matter. It's not so much the fact that it
sounded contemporary and energetic that drew me to DM....it was the fact
that it was just well executed. And yet, as was pointed out by someone
else here, it still sounded like TD.
Now, there's something which has been crossing my mind lately. After
spending all of that time working on 'Tangents' and 'Dream Roots',
polishing up old tracks and all, will the band rediscover things from
their past that worked, and re-explore (as opposed to re-mix) them?
Although, this might lead to an Oldfield-like 'Phaedra 2' or something
like that...which would probably disappoint everyone...

And while you're at it, if you have access to any of the UK '86 Tour tapes,
you can find the original version of this song, complete with Edgar's

I dunno, I am something less than a rabid Supertramp fan, but I always
thought there was a lot of the ghost of Haslinger in that section. And
if memory serves, Linda is NOT credited on that track...Edgar's K2000

if that's true, that marks Edgar--as well as the rest of TD, past and
present--as, once again, pretty unique among a lot of EM artists! What with
albums like Mark Shreeve's _Red Shift_, Schulze's return to analogue, and
Jarre's upcoming album, _Oxygene 7-13_, I'd say EM composers--and the people
who praise them for just this kind of thing--are some of the most musically
conservative people on Earth! This in a medium that allegedly prides itself on
innovation and being different.

Right. And not a TD that you would say was trying to copy The Orb or
FSOL. _Dream Mixes_ has got to be one of their most distinctive albums
around, IMO. It really is their own twist on the techno sound. Maybe
not as 'avant-garde' as many consider FSOL to be, but it was unmistakably
Dream.

Touche. Yet I think at least part of this conservatism comes from a
deep conviction that traditional EM is a style that is *far* from
being mined out. Sure, I love the new direction of TD, but whenever I
hear the old stuff --- especially the really good old stuff, like
_Logos_, _Poland_ and _Force Majure_ --- the first thing that pops to
mind is 'More --- of the similar, if not the same!'

I may post some very short reviews of his CDs and some LPs when I get around

well to continue with this analogy, I guess Edgar Froese is more
comfortable with starting lots of little mines here and there, rather than
seeing just how deep into one he can dig. While I can sort of appreciate
what other artists might feel about this, to take _Red Shift_ as an
example...well, OK, I may have to prepare to stick foot in mouth since I
haven't heard it, but what has surfaced here suggests that it uses much
the same timbres as Rubycon-era TD, and the ideas it explores are not far
off that either. It's not 'mining out', it's recycling! This leads to
the trap of 'putting out the same thing for 25+ years'--which, whether
you like it or not, you CAN'T accuse TD of! While I will admit that
analog may have a lot of untapped potential (as might the DX7! ;) ),
well, it's just that they seem to be back in demand for precisely what
they COULD and HAVE done, not what they CAN do.

I dont think he founded Sequential. Dave Smith started sequential in his
garage (where every good company
should start). Fast provided advice to smith on what features musicians wanted
and may have also provided
technical advice as well. Fast did some very serious modifications to his
synths especially in the area of
interfacing synths and computers before midi was introduced.
SOme TD related material along the same lines.
Baumann commission EMU to creat a massive 16 voice analog synth named the
Audity. Bob Moog called it 'the
Ultimate Analogue'. They brought it to NAMM and only one person placed an
order for it due to its $70,000
asking price. There was maybe 7 built max and one probably sits in Baumann's
house. EMU saw the Fairlight at
that show and immediately started working on what would become the Emulator on
the car ride home from the
show. And of all the great US synth co's that built great Analog's only Emu
still exists.
Farnke was involved in design of the Roland Jupiter 8.
And the whole gang was very influential with Wolfgang Palm and the design of
his modulars and especially the
PPG Wave synths.

Subject: Mystery tour dates
Really-From: 'Plumer, Scott'
Hello all. While flipping through the 'Voices in the Dunes' tour date
list, I was sturck by several dates that were not fully documented or
had some oddity about them. I though, if I could compile all the tour
dates accurately, that would make an invaluable resource for tape
collectors such as myself. So, I humbly ask for assistance from the kind
folks on the list.
For those who decide to help me, I have some suggestions: First, if you
have a tour program or t-shirt that lists dates, consult that. Or, if
one of these mystery dates happened in or near your hometown, check back
issues of your local newspaper for advertisements, reviews, etc. Reviews
are usually indexed, so if your paper is indexed, use that. Naturally,
this requires a trip to your local library. Or, if that fails, and you
know the venue of the date in question, you could call the venue
(assuming it is still standing) and ask them.
Thanks a lot for your help.

If I may have a word, I think the main problem with TD is simply that
they're not innovative anymore. Innovative ideas I mean, not innovative
technology, anyone can ave innovative tech if they can afford it (and TD can).
They may be looking for new ideas but IMHO they haven't yet found any (and
no amount of money can buy that!)
All you have to do is look around (listen around?) to find dozens of lesser
known artists with little money but incredible musical potential (as an
example I'll just mention the Nightcrawlers who have issued something like
30 albums?!?). Edgar could invest his money in a label to produce other
musicians' work (what Baumann did with Private Music)?

Are there any Conny Schnitzler specialists out there? I've got a little
question here;
Is the song 'Silvester Anfang' available on any of the official CZ
records/tapes? From what year is it?
My bizzare encounter with this song was on Mayhem's mini-LP 'deathcrush'
from 1986. It's used as an intro. Lifted straight from Conny's record
onto theirs! I cannot imagine that Schnitzler wrote this one exclusively
for 'Deathcrush'. Anyone knows something about this particular track
or its appearance on 'deathcrush'?
Mayhem, by the way, is a norweigan black-metal band.

Really-From: feldon@n...
Anyone willing to get involved in a thorough look at the two boxed sets
Tangents and Dream Roots including song-by-song comparisons with the
originally released music?
I would have webspace to put up the resulting (even as it is in progress)
'report'.
For starters:
---------------------------------------------
Tyger (Jungle Mystery) vs. the Relativity '92 release.
Pros:
Clearer, cleaner recording (IMHO the Relativity '92 CD is very noisy!)
Cons:
The overdubbing (up to four recordings in some cases) of the vocalist seems
very obvious and makes me lose focus on the melody.
Notes:
The relativity '92 release version of the song could survive without the
lyrics, but the music part of the dream roots release is much thinner and
complements the lyrics. Dream Roots seems to have more minutes of Tyger
represented than any other album. No?
----------------------------------------------
Logos (Blue Part)
Pros:
A starting-from-scratch version of the song. I frequently listen to the Live
version and then play this version (from Tangents) back to back (too bad the
CD version of the concert is not indexed like it is on Tangents).
Cons:
The synth flute sounds that spiral up twice in the middle of the song are
really synthetic sounding.
Notes:
Not only is the version of Logos (Blue Part) located on the Three Phase
video edited from this version, but it almost sounds remixed in some places
and some sounds samples on the Tangents version seem to be missing on the
Three Phase video version.

Careful here! Though a CD-ROM _may_ be marked as Windows because some
installation program only works with Windows (but you may not need an
installation program) or because some utility (like QT for Windows) is
included, it is also likely that the file system on the disk is not Mac
compatible. Nothing beats a try, but I wouldn't buy it from any place
that wouldn't let me bring it back.

Really-From: PNaunton@a...
21-Jan-97
I know that some of you are not very fond of anecdotes, but I can't
help myself here.
Tangerine Dream
'Tangram'
Published - 1980
Purchased - 1980
Format - LP
Label - Virgin
Catalog - v2147
Personnel - Froese, Franke, Schmoelling
It was during this time that I was working in several theaters in
Chicago, Illinois, USA. My mentor and I were discussing a production that was
developing, and the subject of kinetic sculpture came up somehow. He was
also the curator of several public art exebitions in Chicago. He mentioned
that he had purchased several large sculptures done by Harry Bertoia, who I
had never heard of. He went on to explain that Bertoia's work was composed
primarily of large thin rods anchored to heavy bases which, when stimulated,
would move like fields of wheat in the wind. The rods of course would hit
each other during this process and create an almost bell-like random music.
He then said he had a recording of Bertoia 'playing' these sculptures in his
studio. Cruddy recording, but I did listen to the whole LP. I still have it
somewhere.
Sometime later 'Tangram' was released, and there in the middle of
side two was this 'exact same sound' used as a musical bridge. It snuck up on
me, and suddenly I froze, trying to figure out what was going on. It felt
like I was displaced in time/space and I couldn't figure out what had
triggered the feeling. It took me awhile to put the puzzle pieces together,
and realize that two totally independent events were being linked by this
sound that I had heard. It was real bizarre; kind of like deja vu all over
again. Ever since then I have held a particular place for 'Tangram' in this
little corner of 'The Twilight Zone'.

Tangram Part one remains one of my all-time favourite TD pieces.

And, why on earth do I say that ?
If Shepher'd Bush CD is to be considered 'live' because It was the
London Concert Encore, then with more reasons could it be considered
Tangram a live album since It was played around Europe in 1981 tour.
(Germany, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and England)
but nobody say it ? agree ?
And considering the webcast event a live album, well ... Broadcasting or
webcastinf is not a permanent media, ... or then Patrolling Space
borders is another live 'oficial' album since it was recorded from an FM
broadcast.
As for that limited tape edition of TD at Berlin,... then why not
Quinoa ?, performed live at The Cave, Berlin. Anyway I agree this
cassette has to be considered an oficial live TD album because It was
released live, but, then, it's time to correct Datta's discography,
because there isn't any entry for this tape.
Maybe the best solution for the contest would be Quinoa and TD at Berlin
Platz der Republic Aug. 29 '81, with no song connected those events, but
much less than 15 year gap between them.
Anyway, I still think ( and this is only a guess) that the original
tapes for the Sorcerer score is a mix of themes recorded during concerts
around Europe ( maybe taken directly from the soundboard without
ambience mics to avoid people noises); and I think it because that CD
doesn't say specifically 'recorded at Pepito's studio' but 'Recorded in
Europe'

Definitely one of their best albums. Long tracks were you
can get involved in.
I think this album has a lot of comparissons to classic music.
It's all very well structured and the music is sometimes
romantic and sometimes agressive. The balance between those
two are perfect.
I would definitely recommend the album to those who aren't
familiair with TD-music or like classical music.
This album has the perfect balance between the Baumann-age
and the Schmoelling-age, which I both like very, very much.
And thank God there are no drums in it.
If such an album would come out now, I would pay triple the
price of a normal album.

One of my all time favorite electronic recordings. One of TD's best. It's
symphonic, addictive, almost Vangelis-like. It stands apart from anything
else they recorded and to me, along with Logos, is the best of the
Schmoelling era. I've played it a bazillion times and never tired of it. This
was the album that hooked me on TD. This is all very subjective, but I just
plain love the disc.

technically the Tangents version is 'live' too, this was the version
played on the 1988 tour. I much prefer it to the original.

it is possible that the Tangents version could have been remixed again.
Near the end of the track you can hear the female vocals sound that 90s
TD uses, but wasn't being used (if it even existed) in the late 80s.

When I first heard Dominion back in 1986 I thought it was great....but by
the end of the decade it had come to sound like the theme to some lame 80s
TV show. Mind you, 'The Jogger' on Tangents is a far worse offender in
this regard.

I think the point we are trying to make is that, maybe we shouldn't call it
live unless it is recorded in front of an calm/screaming/sleepy/happy
audience and very little studio doctoring is done afterwards...

I should have clarified. The :45 second intro by itself is good, and the
song they performed live was good, but he should have re-mastered the whole
song not just :45 sec's. It *would* be interesting for him to do it in the
dreamy style (no pun!). I mean, converting a almost rockish tune into a
dreamy... well, you know what I mean.

Hi all Dreamers,
I don't know what you guys think about SPAM e-mail, but it really gets on my nerves........this has been mailed from Hong Kong.......if any of you are interested.
There has been a lot of talk here about this, because Netviagtor is run by the HK Telecom (the monopoly of HK's Telephone lines). And they have been breaking all the ISP's moral codes.....by logging in to all the other ISP's and getting the list of users, and spamming us with all sorts of junk mail.
I must apologize that there is no TD content.......

P.S I have nothing agianst the actual company offering the goods, that is not my grudge.

Oh but he did! Listen to the two back to back. Besides having a very
different soundstage (hope this is the appropriate term here), the
Tangents version has at least 3 patches not in the original.

I have to contradict you Gabe on this one - for me it seems it just mixed
45 sec intro to the original Dominion track - the live background also
suggests it. By my opinion I didn't like the 45 sec intro - not that it didn't
sound good - but it just does not link to the original '82 sound.
And you can see this all around tangents.
On the other hand - speaking of 5 cd sets - I liked the re-masters on
Dream roots of tracks like Journey through a burning brain,etc
I would love to see all first four td cd's - re-arranged with modern
technology - (but I don't think this will happen.) I think they would sound
just fantastic.
Florin.

Subject: At Darwin's Motel
Really-From: 'Andrew Fisher'
The track 'At Darwin's Motel' on Goblins Club contains a sample of a song
sung in sanscritt by a female Indian singer. This same song has been
sampled to a fuller extent by Michael Cretu on his new Enigma album, 'Le
Roi Est Mort, Vive le Roi'. released in November.
Does anyone know where this sample originated from, or who is singing it?
Is it commercially available?
Thanks!

(Forgive me while I catch up a bit!)
_Rubycon_ (1975) Rating: 4 AS
I didn't hear _Rubycon_ until after I had heard all the other
TD classics of the 70s, and until listening to it multiple
times this week in preparation for this review, I wasn't
really all that enamoured with it. But after spending time
at work and in the car with _Rubycon_, it's certainly moved
up in my eyes (ears). I now think that _Rubycon_ deserves
its place alongside the 'classic' TD releases.
Several people here have suggested that _Rubycon_ makes
excellent Halloween music. I only agree to an extent. This
CD is full of changes in mood. Both tracks have haunting
openings, but ensuing sections (especially in 'Part 1')
feature warm mellotron sounds that I find pretty uplifting.
Side 2 is similar, with the 'Ominous Mens' Chorus' (someone
here coined that term) and VCS3 wind effects providing the
suspenseful, spooky music, and constantly changing rhythmic
sequences to whisk the listener away to warmer climes.
I'll give _Rubycon_ a low 4 on the AS. I think that I may
have gone higher had I not heard some of the later TD CDs
before ever hearing this one.

Really-From: Marshall Wood
_Stratosfear_ (1976) Rating: 4 AS
Not many people seemed to comment on this release, which seems
strange. Wasn't this the album that really got TD some notable
exposure in the US?
Anyway, this is a great album. I disagree completely with the
poster who said that not much happens here. (Though I recall
saying something similar the first time I heard _Poland_, and
after several listenings, I took back those words.)
The title track is prime Baumann-era TD. Short melodies zip in
from nowhere, and fade out, giving way to others. (I love the
melody that comes in around 3:15.) Nice brief guitar bits from
Edgar tossed in there as well. 'The Big Sleep in Search of
Hades' is more of the same.
I can't say that the use of the harmonica at the beginning and
end of '3 am at the Border of the Marsh from Okefenokee' does
much for me. But the rest of the track is nice, ambient stuff.
Finally, 'Invisible Limits,' which is a highlight. And doesn't
it sounds like real drums making an appearance around the 3:00
mark? Franke is credited with 'percussion' in the liner notes,
after all. More moody guitar work from Froese, and some dreamy
piano to bring the whole thing to a close.
I love the cover art. Reminds me of the first pictures that were
returned from the surface of Venus. The Russian probe that took
them (Venera 9) stopped transmitting after returning a few grainy
pictures. That was in October of 1975, so the time is about
right. Also, the US Viking spacecraft were transmitting data
back from the surface of Mars around the time that _Stratosfear_
was recorded. So perhaps some of those photos were the impetus
for this cover? Regardless, the unearthly landscape depicted on
the cover fits perfectly with the music. My favorite TD artwork.
(But where is Jerome?)
I'll give this album a solid 4 AS.

Really-From: Marshall Wood
_Sorcerer_ (1977) Rating: 4 AS
One of my favorite TD soundtracks. The music is ominous
in the extreme, and very suspenseful.
'Main Title' is very eerie, and as times just sounds like
industrial noise. Maybe a bit too long at 5:29. 'Search'
is a great contrast to the first track. 'Search' is more
melodic, and perhaps too short. This is generally the
case here - the harser tracks like 'Main Title' & 'Abyss'
are long, while the melodic tracks like 'Mountain Road'
are relatively brief. I'd prefer the reverse, methinks.
'The Call' and 'Grind' are great, and are instantly
recognizable as TD. Multiple synth melodies gliding over
insistent sequencer backdrops. Some of the same bits
crop up in other pieces, like 'Betrayal.'
I really like 'Impressions of Sorcerer,' and I award this
track the best-on-the-album honor. The guitar work is
typically tasteful, and the keyboard percussion sounds are
quite varied, unlike the percussion of TD today. If only
this track was longer... I've only seen the movie once,
before I bought the soundtrack CD - is this track included
in the movie? When?
I have to say that I agree with whoever commented on the
ghostly photo of Messrs. Baumann, Franke, and Froese. If
that photo had been the first exposure of any sort that I
had ever had to TD, I might have been too scared to go
any further! :)
As is usually the case, the soundtrack is far better than
the film. But in this case, the movie isn't bad at all.
Roy Scheider is excellent in it. Worth checking out, IMO.
Certainly better than movies like _Dead Solid Perfect_ and
(yawn) _Heartbreakers_. And the music fit the film quite
well.
Easily a 4 on the Armin Scale. Might even compare with
the best of 'em on some days!
And for whoever it was that asked about the poem that was
included in the LP release: yes, that is there on my CD
version (MCA Catalog # MCAD-10842). The positioning of
the poem and the comments by producer/director William
Friedkin seem to indicate that he wrote the poem. Shrug.

_Zoo_ is scheduled to be re-released sometime soon on the TDI label. If
you want the originals, well, you'll either have to
1) ply the bargain bins
2) try second hand
3) find somebody who has them and really doesn't like them
both are still officially out of print on CD.

The Enigma album provides the names of a couple of its samples in its
liner notes. I assume that one of these is the piece you're looking for,
but I don't know about its availability. I suspect that it might well be
part of some sample library, thus explaining why TD used the same sound.

I didn't say that it wasn't the original track--you can indeed hear the
audience cheering right after the new intro--but all the Logos
excerpts--'Dominion' included--have been 're-equalized', you can hear the
difference: the bass and drums are very low and distant-sounding on the
original, whereas on _Tangents_ they are much 'crispier' and up-front.
In addition, new sounds have been added in--very subtly on the 'Velvet
Part', but on 'Red Part' there is a new brass melody, and the
'ka-konk-konk' bass (don't you just love these incredible descriptions of
the sound?), which becomes very 'buzzy' as the original progresses, has
been cleaned up.
The exception is 'Blue Part' which is a from-scratch re-working of that
section.
Yes, the new intro may not have much in common with the '82 sound, but
'Dominion' needs all the help it can get :P.

Anybody who wants me to get it for them and send it? I will. Better
yet, get me one of them Virgin TAND 5, remasters of 'Phaedra' and I'll
just trade you.
WWR is in cutouts. I guess that means it's out of print, whatever that
means. I think out of print means different things to different people,
but to me it means they have no plans for further production runs. I
don't know how many are in a production run -- low thousands?
Personally, I think getting put in the 'New Age' bin is getting to be
the kiss of death.
It's amusing to see what is happening. Roach is beginning to 'migrate'
from the 'New Age' bin to the 'Techno-Ambient' bin. I recently saw
Ultramarine on Warner in the techno bin at $25 for a single CD which,
I'm sorry to see, means the 'majors' have discovered techno -- it's gone
main stream. Disclaimer: I happen to like Ultramarine (I have 3 of
their albums), but they are fairly straight British pop, not techno,
IMHO. I suspect that in 6 months, anything with samples is going to be
called 'techno.'
I saw all this happen in the early 80s as the electronic-progressive end
of rock'n'roll emptied out and became new age.
Just my two cents. Over to the man up in the booth.

Subject: D: Tangram
Really-From: Paul Edwards
Tangram was my first ever TD purchase, and, I believe, itr's one of their
top four or five albums. I agree with most of the comments here, and would
go as far as to say that Tangram Part 1 is *almost* quintessential TD.
It's complex, yet accessible, varied, yet nicely repetitive. A solid 4AS,
very nearly a five
And it also make a great aid for teaching children how to multiply. I used
it once in a class that I taught as a student teacher -- one young lad had
never understood multiplication properly. He was also a very good young
flautist, and I played him the first couple of minutes of Tangram Part 1,
you know the bit with the kind of pan flute sound arpeggio. Anyway, the
upshot of it is that they kind of overlay, one playing three notes, the
other playing four, and they get back 'in phase' after twelve notes (3*4).
After having a bit of a listen to Tangram, this young guy (Brian or Bryce
or something like that) had no more problems with multiplication, even
stuff beyond the standard 12 times tables; he thought of the numbers
musically. If anyone's interested, this stuff is tied up theoretically
with Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory in the book 'Frames of
Mind', and to a lesser extent with Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of
Intelligence.
There's my anecdote for the week ;-)
Oh, the other thing is that I would have no hesitation in recommending
Tangram to a fan of the 'old' TD, a fan of the 'new' TD, or a non fan of
TD. It's about the only TD album that I own that can be recommended in
this way (I've found that Logos is too long for some people, Force Majeure
scares people, and a lot of people simply don't 'get' Ricochet, in the same
way that a lot of people don't 'get' Oldfield's AMAROK).
Cheers,
Paul

Yeah, if you listen to Logos:Dominion on Tangents, the first :45 secs are a
dreamy intro and from what my ears are telling me, he took the live concert
footage and just laid a couple of soft sinewave notes on top of it.

Sorry for dragging this thread out... Actually, everything on Tangents has
been re-equalized to the point that it's noticably better and yes, there's
lots of LITTLE add-ons such as bass thickening and sinewaves. The same thing
about Dream Roots. My Relativity CD of Tyger makes me think that TD recorded
it onto an LP and played it for 2 years straight before putting it on CD. I
was just thinking about this thought today: 'The biggest accomplishement in
Tangents and Dream Roots may not be the re-done songs, but the cleaning up
of songs and preserving them without having had reperform them...'
>Yes, the new intro may not have much in common with the '82 sound, but
>'Dominion' needs all the help it can get :P.
Well... (with a smirk and downward look) Dominion, Central Park, Vigour, and
the last track on Turn of the Tides just come out of no-where when TD will
has their rock music days...

Dave, I've seen this album in cutouts. To the best of _my_ knowledge,
that doesn't happen to albums until they go out of print. What makes

Really? My impression is that it is one of the few 'universally liked'

One of the last albums with full-side pieces, and definitely one of
their best. It's a very 'clean' sounding album, hinting a lot at the
sound direction TD was about to take ... and that detracts just enough
from it for me to give it a 4AS (but a HIGH 4AS...).
Definitely a 'must have' TD album.

Subject: FAQ Contest: reply
Really-From: goozer@a... (Hermes Guzman)
Greetings all.
All of the questions and speculations regarding the contest I held have
been amusing, if a little puzzling. I honestly expected far more than the
_4_ entries that I received! And while I'm here, let me clear up some of
the confusion that is evident in some of the posts:
1) Since the content of the FAQ was live albums officially released by TD,
I assumed that everyone would naturally understand the _context_ of the
question; i.e: only material performed live (or so stated) and officially
released qualified.
2) Quinoa is not live; 'live' being defined as a performance in front of an
audience. The Cave is the name of TD's Berlin Studio. Yes, they may have
performed it 'live' in the studio, but this doesn't count as a performance.
3) The nature of digital information transfer, especially as regards
anything connected to the web, can be construed in certain instances as a
publication for copyright purposes. The Shepards Bush show was 'published'
on the web, made available to a worldwide audience, and is still a file
accessable for download. Therefore, the Webcast of the Shepards Bush show,
in this context, is an official release.
A radio broadcast, however, reaches a narrow regional audience, and is
intended for a single broadcast only, with no repeat availablity from the
station. This then precludes any of the radio shows mentioned.
4) The individual track, 'Ozillator Planet Concert' was part of a
multi-artist compilation, not a full live album release by TD. Therefore,
it doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion (see 1) Same for _Electronic
Meditation_; it doesn't meet the criteria!
And specifically to Francisco: the _best_ solution to _my_ contest is the
one given! ; ) Put simply; My contest, my rules! ; )
I hope this ends the debate. Judging from the response, maybe I'll rethink
my plan to have a contest at the end of every monthly FAQ.

Hi Goozer (if seems all the mail to you has been address to Hermes, but
you sign 'Goozer' so until further notice, it's Goozer to me),
I hope you don't get too bummed out by this. I for one had fun reading
the debate and I learned a lot. As far as the contest was concerned, it
was 'no contest' for me -- I didn't even understand the question. Why
don't you skip the prize angle, simplifiy the questions to more common
stuff -- hard but not so f#*kin obscure -- and try again.
A few days ago I proposed a 'music courier service' consisting of people
who have rare stuff, like original fantapes, boots et cetera
('customers') and people we know and trust who travel a bit on a regular
basis, especially to Europe and back ('couriers'). I've had zero
response from the people who I thought would be all for it. I've had a
handful of responses from list-lurkers. Do you have any idea why no
response from the 'core' folk?
Cheer up and be happy :-)

well, then I was confused on this point, since 'The cave' I thought it
was the meeting place of TD fan club. so my mistake.

Yes, this may account for an official 'release', except for the
questiosn of 'publishing'; I mean, I though it was 'cast' (no right for
the listener to copy it on a permanent media, even more, Streamworks
doesn't allow to save it to hard disk - please correct me if I am wrong)
as opposed to 'publish'

I was mentioning broadcast as similar as webcast. I agree, it's not an
official release.

That was clear from the begining, Hermes. I was trying to raise

Sorry, Steve, but I'm one of those that doesn't really rate
Tangram at all. I haven't been able to particpate in the
discussion too much because I sold Tangram about eighteen
months ago and haven't bought it again yet (I'll buy the

But not necessarily a 'must keep once you have it' album.

Really-From: 'Craig R. J. Cordrey'
*** Standard Disclaimer Applies : All My Own Opinion ***
A bit late (I haven't done many of the last few albums) but
I thought I'd pass on some thoughts regarding this landmark
album.
In its own way, this always strikes me as a large step for
TD - a move away from the 'rambling', gurgling form of
Phaedra, Rubycon and Ricochet toward a more 'musical' form.
We seem to be back to recognisable instruments again, from
the opening strums of the title track to the surprise
appearance of the harmonica in 3am ...
In retrospect it's easy to take this as another small step
in greatness for TD, but I often wonder at the reaction of
the die-hard fans of the day. There's no slow-changing
warblings here. It sounds a lot 'crisper' and appears to
move with more purpose than previous efforts.
I like this album a lot. The title track and Invisible
Limits are certainly favourites, and I believe they stand up
as some of the best work TD ever produced.
A solid 4AS.

matter of taste. I think that the 're-arranged' pink years stuff
does not work at all. You cannot speak of rearrangement anyway, since
all Froese did was playing some boring chords with some 'spherical'
sound while the original was running in the background. And it does
not work, musically. This is like eating something salty next to
something sweet. It does not mix.
I assume that these pink years remixes are just about to make them
sell better. Todays listeners are not brave enough to take the
effort, or better: to take the *time* to dive into something
like Zeit.
I mean: *I* could even have done these pink year remixes. It sounds
like I put those nice old pink years records on the turntable, and
play completely bored on a keyboard.

Paul, your are right on!!!
A real-life example: I had totally and entirely given up hope that my wife
(who is from Central America, thus a totally different cultural background)
would ever be able to appreciate TD. Knowing her musical taste (Salsa and
Soft Latino-Pop), I already prefer to listen to much of 'my' music over
headphones, but on a few occasions, TD was actually on my stereo when she
was there...I recall her disgust at Dream Mixes 'What is that techno
stuff?' or Ricochet 'Sounds so annoying and monotonous'.
But, low and behold, only a few weeks ago on a snowy winter afternoon, I
just absolutely *had* to listen to Tangram...loud! And to my amazement,
after the last notes of the album faded, she actually asked me: 'So, who
was that? Really, that was your Tangerine Dream? Hmm....I guess they don't
play that bad (sic)...Actually I liked it, do they have more music that
sounds like that?' YES!!! There is hope after all!
