Really-From: Steven Feldman
First of all, sorry about that post about the aol virus. I didn't
know that the act of forwarding it was the virus itself.
Now then, I met with Lars Jones this past Saturday to trade stuff
and he asked me to post to the TD list that he is back in town and that
all the stuff he said he'd be bringing with him is indeed here. Heck,
I saw the piles of CDs and whatnot with post-it stickers on 'em (to
indicate who is supposed to get what), myself.
Lars said that it will take him a few days to fix his stateside
e-mail account because of there being too much stuff in it, and that's
why he wanted to relay this message to you all.
So, now you know. Feel better, now?

Subject: GREEN D, ZONING, D ROOTS, and OASIS Recorded *When*?
Really-From: Steven Feldman
Sigh. After listening to OASIS and then noticing that the credits
list the CD's contents as having been composed in 1996, I dug out the
OASIS video and checked the date on the box to make sure: yep, the date
listed is 1991. I called up Lars and asked him about this. If I recall
correctly, he says he talked to Edgar about this after one of the shows
he attended and Edgar said something to the effect that the guy who
filmed the stuff that wound up on OASIS is also the guy who filmed the
NATURAL STATES, CANYON DREAMS, and TRUE NORTH videos for Miramar--and
that snippets of film from OASIS appear on some Miramar videos. It
seems that this guy stopped doing business with Miramar at some point,
and that the material for OASIS was shot (and copyrighted?) in 1991.
Hee hee. This could explain why this guy and Edgar got together:
I mean, they both had a falling out with Miramar, didn't they? ;)
So, this leaves us with four TD recordings which have hazy
origins, chronologically speaking:
o GREEN DESERT (raw tracks in 1973; 'remixed' in 1986)
o ZONING (early 1990's movie remake; TD did both soundtracks?)
o DREAM ROOTS CD #5 (did Chris participate on this recently?)
o OASIS (footage is from 1991, but music is from 1996?)
The one that's really bugging me right now is the fifth CD
from The DREAM ROOTS Collection. After having heard most of Chris
Franke's releases and becoming fairly familiar with his sound, I
think it's safe to say that Chris' contribution(s) to the music on
this CD definitely come from a period after 1989 (which is the
last year that Chris was a participating member of Tangerine
Dream). Anyone (dis-)agree?

I think that this music just gives us a little hint of what he was about
to do after leaving TD. This music was written and recorded what, about a
year and 8 months before he left? That's not a lot of time. Who knows how
long Franke was tinkering with his own music before he finally left? Even
parts of some of the 1985-87 TD soundtracks seem to hint what he going
to do solo... Just some ramblings. :-)

Subject: Mandarin Cream: Pe-tooey!
Really-From: Steven Feldman
Kee-ripes, but the Orb's 'Mandarin Cream' remix (if that's what it
is or is supposed to be) of 'Towards the Evening Star' is a piece of
shit (no '***' in place of vowels--or should I say bowels?--for this!)!
I can think of only two reasons for this:
1) The Orb hates Tangerine Dream and therefore turned in a real piece
of crud as a statement re what they think of TD
2) Tangerine Dream hates The Orb and saw to it that their remix was a
travesty so as to perpetuate the notion that TD are ambient Elder
Statesmen whereas The Orb are second generation wannabees.
According to Lars: TD and The Orb never met, and The Orb submitted
two remixes, one of which Edgar *rejected*. I guess Sequel forced him
to go with at least *one* of them since The Orb and TD are both on that
label (sort of like the case where some of TD's catalogue is now in the
hands of Windham Hill, hee hee). How could the PR flacks at Sequel be
so clueless as to release such a piece of drek, though? I mean, hardcore
techno fans might actually be able to get a cheap thrill from listening
to a metronome set on top of a grand piano--and hardcore ambient (an
oxymoron?) fans might be able to bliss out at the laundromat (listening
to the hum of the tumbling clothes: hey, who says Beavis and Butthead
have cornered the market on stupid?), but that shouldn't mean that
they have no taste whatsoever!
There *is* one more possibility, though: the record-buying public
at large might think that the remix is good whereas TD's original is
overly melodic, old school electronics--with none of the 'old school
charm' (i.e. analogue sounds). Am I way off base, here? (In a way,
I sort of hope so.)

Uhmmm!, well, that really has a meaning. Issue nr 3 of Future Music,
Spanish edition, had an interview with those guys, here is an excerpt.
****************
'In 1996 they were contacted by Trident II Studios in London, where they
recorded 'Orblion' and were pressed to finish at double speed remixes of
Tangerine Dream, Gong and those boys 'heavy-trash' called Nine Inch
Nails.
It's curious to mention as their influences groups of the 70'ies.
Tangerine Dream, Gong, Eno, Can- So what do Andy and Alex think about
remixing TD and Gong ?
After a thougthfull pause, Alex smiles and said: ' Can were good, but I
don't know very much about Tangerine Dream or Gong, Really I don't like
them.'
*****************
Well, that tells something about the spirit that moved them to do that
remix.
I can't understand a supposedly artist doing a job he really doesn't
want to do ( or he doesn't care at all), except for the money, a
powerfull creative force indeed.
By the way, the CD that comes with the magazine included a song by Gong
( Toxygene ). Not a song that will make history indeed!!. ... Very much
like hundreds of bad techno titles out there. I don't say that there
isn't good techno, just this song is forgetable, Maybe not to be heard
out of a dance plateau. FSOL is miles ahead!!!.
Just my opinion.--- Francisco

I'll have to say that over all the excitement in Orb's music, I decided to
give this group a try.. I mean, if it's okay with T-Dream, then it must be
okay with me! So lets see here.. that album.. hmmm.. let me remember the
silly name of the darn thing.. gee whiz.. only bought the thing 3 days
ago.. um.. er.. 'Orbvs Terramvm??'
close enough..
It was in my hands once.. after 75 minutes (really! a 75 minute CD.. :) of
garbaged non-relating noises and thumps of bass.. continuing in every
direction except the direction of order and sense, I sent the lil' disk
back where it came from.
I guess 'Rolling Stones' got it right when they said: 'The Orb inspire awe
by splashing a profusion of unfocused noises and samples across a grid of
billowing, textured synth lines.' Although the awe come more in actually
reading that people conposed this stuff.. sounds like two people playing
catch with an e-ball connected to every noise known to humankind--IMHO :)
So I don't even want that Remix.. don't even take me there!

Now, now -- I'm in no way trying to defend the Orb here -- I want to
stay impartial -- but I know for a fact that the Orb are NOT known for
remixes that are even close to the original. As far as an Orb song
goes, it's really a good remix. As far as a TD fan may be concerned, it
sucks. I have to say that I really like both, but regardless of the
fact that it's a remix of TD. Sorry, but I do like them both for
different reasons...

I think that you may have touched upon the subject a bit - anymore, the
Orb use more analogues than TD - the pioneers of analogue. Don't know
why, either...

Really-From: Matt Williams
Hi Everyone,
Been a little bit naughty with my credit card recently...well ok very naughty
in fact I have been so naughty the company have written to me demanding I cut
my card in two and send it back to them....
Well this demand annoyed me very much so I went to my local second hand
CD/Record dealer and brought all the TD CDs I have been a little weary of
buying in the past you know ones like Electronic Meditation,Zeit,Alpha
Centurai.
Thankfully this perticular CD dealer doesn't have one of those credit card
machines that are linked up to the phones,these ones check your account...he
has the old fashion one that you have to pull a lever across with your
hand...its cool cause the only time the bank knows about it is when they get
the recipt you have signed :).
Anyway I am afraid my concerns about the CDs were justified,with Schulze on
Electronic Meditation I didn't expect to like it...and yeah well it is a
little out there to say the least,Zeit was also a bit 'difficult' but Alpha
Centurai isn't too bad....I have the new Castle remasters they only cost 7-50
pounds brand new which is good value I guess...you get the original covers and
picture disk CDs.....there is also some interesting info on the sleeve by a
guy called Julian Cope......is this that singer Julian Cope or is it someone
else??.
I also picked up Le Parc.....I was convinced I would love it seems its a
schmoelling album but I don't like it too much,I'll give it a few more trys
though.
I almost fainted too,I actually have an album by Schulze which I enjoy...its
Royal Dome Event Pt 2.....I have no idea why I love it cause it's completey
nuts....maybe its because I'm nuts too..
Oh yeah to top it off I put down a 30 pound deposit on the 'Brick' box set..I
paid that with my credit card to....
Now my fun is over I'll buy a pizza wih the card then I shall cut it in two
and send it back to the nasty credit card people with a note of thanks!.
Finnaly I'm thinking of buying Picture Music by Schulze can someone give me a
little info onwhat its like?
Do I get the award for most sensible credit card user? :))

Really-From: Vic Rek
Being States-side, I had to import (Lars' Imports) my tour CD single (along
with most any other music I purchase). I received it today and I like it.
First of all, the single is not titled 'Das Madchen..' like I've seen
mentioned before. It is simply titled 'Limited World Tour Edition 1997' and
has 3 tracks:
1. Maedchen on the Stairs (Rien ne va plus - sunset radio mix)
2. Maedchen on the Stairs (Rien ne va plus - sunrise club mix)
3. Order of the Ginger Glid
I never really cared for the 'Madchen..' music, so in this case I think the
remixes are superior to the originals. I can finally enjoy them! This is a
rare occasion for me indeed! So Edgar, if you hear me, send me that promo
CD of this stuff!
This maxi single comes in a slimeline case and has a cover similar to TOB.
The disc is unique in that it is clear on the outer diameter and the inner
part is painted with the new TDI logo which also allows for the music to be
read by your CD player.

The Orb is not on the Sequel label. Sequel is the North American branch
of Castle Communications (the EU branch is called Essential). The Orb
is signed to Island Records I believe (subsidiary of Polygram?). I
don't believe that TD is signed to Castle Communications either, but
just has a distribution agreement with them. I'm pretty sure TD is
'their own man' now (TDI). Besides, I don't think Castle is into
signing bands and is just a album retreading operation like Jive was
(Jive was a jazz reissue house).

Try the older stuff from The Orb, specifically, 'The Orbs Adventures
Beyond the Ultraworld' and 'U.F.Orb'. Nice stuff. Dr. Alex Patterson
seems to have lost his way in the last few years and I agree with you
about 'Orbus..' BTW, anybody know exactly what AP is a doctor of?

Subject: Bounce vs Digest (No TD - Help Needed]
Really-From: 'Craig R. J. Cordrey'
Yesterday, I subscribed in Digest mode (for an experiment)
and continued in bounce mode too.
The digest I got this morning has far more messages in it
than the messages I get via bounce. For example, Michael's
question relating to 'World Without Rules' (which I can't
help with) did not appear in bounce mode, only in digest.
Is this a common problem (Dave?) or does it represent
down-time of the server which doesn't bother to catch up
with itself?
Thanks for any help,

I subscribe to both also (handy). I got Michael's question regarding
'WWR' by bounce so I think the problem is with your mail hook up.

Well, I read via bounce mode forwarded through a local newsgroup. I
saw the question about WWR here. I have noticed a bunch of bounced

Thanks Dave (and to you too, Mark). I'll have a word with
the administrator at this end and see if he has any ideas.
I'll keep with the digest at the moment too to make sure I

I totally agree here. I mean, it's not Tangerine Dream, but so what? It
succeeds on its own terms. I also like the new single 'Toxygene', even if
it has a disposable pop quality to it.
As far as the Mandarin Cream remix itself goes, I found it diappointing.
To be sure, The Orb have always obliterated the songs they've remixed, but
I had hoped for something a bit more imaginative, something that would
impose some melodic structure on the Orb's characteristic bloops and
swirly sounds. But obliterate the original song they did, turning it into
something that sounds like an outtake from Orblivion. I'm not sure it'll
make anyone happy. Very few Ambient/Electronica fans give a toss about
current TD (except for the Dream Mixes, perhaps), and TD fans seem to be
ganging up on The Orb. I imagine this means that Edgar will be even
less likely to let others tamper with TD music now. Which is sort of a
shame. I think the two camps could learn from each other.

As far as I know, there _was_ a CD single titled 'Das Maedchen...' which
contained yet more remixes, and was released before TD started touring.

Funny though, that TD go out of their way to re-mix a song that was itself a
remix of 'White Eagle', isn't it?? I don't think I'll ever see the point in
that. I
agree that the remixes on the Limited World Tour CD are quite nice, anyway.

Looks nice, eh?? I wonder why it has only been so recently that they
rediscovered the logo which initially appeared on the 'Tyger' LP...it appears
in the web pages as an animated logo now, and the only slightly different
TDI logo is about everywhere from the Oasis cover to the World Tour
Teeshirt.

Franke never did any solo recordings while he was a member of TD,
either...so it could well be that the music on DRC is his _personal_ style of
the time that he was still in TD. As a member of a group consisting of two
more people, though, this style was never fully reflected in the TD works.

Subject: How Many TD Videos Are There? Anyone Got a List?
Really-From: Steven Feldman
How many videos have TD made? I'm talking about stuff made for MTV
(or VH-1, at least)--whether it was ever released commercially or got
got any airplay or not--and stuff made for video projects like CANYON
DREAMS, MANDELA, and OASIS.
I'm asking this because I just saw the following quote in a review
of MTV's 'Amp' show which ran in the May 16, 1997 (Arts Section, p. 9)
issue of the BOSTON PHOENIX:
[written by Dan Tobin:]
| The real beauty, though, is that this is essentially electronica's
|grand presentation to the masses. Sure, MTV played the Chemical
|Brothers' 'Setting Sun' and Prodigy, but AMP marks the first program
|wholly dedicated to the genre and its history. 'As much as we can, we
|tip our hats to the old school,' says [AMP creator and producer Todd
|Mueller], who boasts of playing German electro-pioneers Kraftwerk as
|much as British torch carriers the Chemical Brothers.
Groan. Playing Kraftwerk on MTV is not exactly an unprecedented
event. It was played on MTV's late lamented 120 MINUTES show fairly
often. I wonder what 'old school' videos besides 'Pump Up the Volume'
by MARRS [which is also mentioned in the article as getting play on
AMP] Mueller could be referring to. ;) ;) There ain't much. And
Kraftwerk gets airplay partly for the goof factor and partly because
the videos are cyberpunk of a sort.
So, what TD videos exist that could be shown on AMP? Are there
any tracks from CANYON DREAMS or OASIS that stand a chance? Is there
a video from 'Dolls in the Shadow' or 'Touchwood' or 'Catwalk'? I
would think that perhaps 'Phaedra' from THREE PHASE could be used.
It's a live version of a seminal 'old school' LP, after all. ;)

There was a video made for Melrose, and I think that the Dolls in the
Shadow segment on 3 Phase used some of that footage. I dunno about any
other videos...

I'd think that one of the Dream Mixes videos might qualify...San Rocco?
I have seen videos for 'Tiergarten' and 'Optical Race' with my own eyes,
although I would cringe to see Optical race on an 'electronica' show.
There is also a Melrose video somewhere, the only evidence of which is
seen on the album cover, and the 'Three Dolls in the Shadow' segment of
Three Phase. I could see Phaedra qualifying as old-school, but a) the
version on Three-Phase is the Tangentized version and b) The video sucks.
Why can't a band as creative as TD get better videos put together for
them?

Subject: D:Tangents (CD5)
Really-From: 'Jens Peschke'
Hi dreamers !
Although it seems that there´s not much interest in
D:Tangents on the list I wanna review the CD5:
CD5 (Previously Unreleased Material)
1 Vulcano (E. Froese)
Typical solo E. -the boring- Froese (like ages)
Material for 1 min runs 4:42 (wipe it out!)
2 The Jogger (Froese/Schmoelling)
TD goes Popcorn. Sweet kid tune. 4:01 (4us2 skip)
3 South Dakota (E. Froese)
Very familiar tune (really unreleased ?)
The best on it is the running time 3:22 (2AS)
4 Coppercoast (E. Froese)
Diamond Diary sequencer line (Wow !)
More of this Edgar ! 5:17 (3AS, cause its not really PUM)
5 Great Barrier Reef (E. Froese)
Nice to have 3:59 (2AS)
6 The Night at Ayers Rock (E. Froese)
Good night, Mr. E. -tb- Froese Huuuuuhhhhaaaawwhhh
3:18 (to short to fall asleep :<)
7 Afternoon on the Nile (E. Froese)
Back to complex sequencer lines !
6:54 (3AS)
8 Crane Routing (E.Froese)
More of Mr. Edgars PUM - not really bad
5:55(no comment)
9 Silver Scale (E. Froese/Franke)
Oh Chris, how I miss you :)
Diamond Diary sequ lines part two enhanced with extra bass line
and new variations. My fav track !
Chris Franke - the master of sequ lines !!!
12:50 (4AS)
10 Jamaican Monk (E. Froese/Schmoelling)
Drums & percussion + new ideas ! Seems not to be pre 83.
5:35 (3-4AS)
Unfortunely the CD5 comes with CD4 in a douple CD box -
otherwise I would maybe offer it to the list.
---- No I never would ---- I´m a collector :)
Please Edgar, don´t release more of your solo PUM stuff
(asuming this is your best PUM)
Stop it !!!! now.

My guess is that the Oasis video was released in 1991 with non-TD music
and a running time of 1 hour. Pay attention to the two stickers:
The silver star-shaped on the upper front cover saying 'Music by TD'
and the small one on the backside just _below_ the text '1 Hour Hi-Fi
Stereo' reading '45 Minutes Hi-Fi Stereo Digitally Mastered'.
Both must have been attached later, after adding the TD music. Camera One
was actually to lame to print new cover!
Dream on, Stephan

Subject: D:Hyperborea
Really-From: feldon@n...
I thought I'd be a little unorthodox and do a post with guaranteed 100%
Tangerine Dream content!
Anyway... I purchased Hyperborea, listened to it twice (front to back) and
then put it down, wondering why I purchased it. (before you hit DELETE,
there's lots of positive stuff coming up soon...)
First of all, I already had Tangents... Secondly, my initial reaction to
track 4 was, 'hmm... a 15 minute preview to the Poland concert.'
So I went back to playing Logos, Logos Set One (a CD-R I made of a fantape),
and Poland 2CD... non-stop, mind you!
Well, I put Hyperborea back in yesterday, and my reactions so far have been
quite different.
Yes, track 4 (Sphinx Lightning?) has a few themes underlying in Poland, but
it does stand on its own right... By the way, I recognize the
'piano/harpsichord slam' sound on this song from the first note heard on
Poland before the announcer starts talking, anyone know if they played a
snippet of Sphinx Lightning before the concert as a Soundcheck?
Anyway, from 1:45 to 4:30 is really cool, especially the drumbeat, sort of
technoey, just like from 15:45-20:15 of Horizon (Poland disc 2)...
So what's my opinion on the whole disc? I give it a 4AS... I really like
it, but still think it was a 'relaxer' between Logos and Poland.

I was quite surprised at first also when I got this album a couple months
ago. I thought the first track.. is something that Tangerine Dream
'dreamed' of making in their earlier years (sort of that Indian/pshycodelic
era) as Castle's sleeve notes agree that it's a look back upon those years.
'Sphinx Lighting' to me, has some good development, but I thought the
transitions are too subtle--looking for the wonderful Tangram and Logos
transitions that are not present or not developed enough. So this means to
me, it's hard to stay very focused through the entire track as it gently
moves into new areas. But I do like the entire album.. even if the thrid
track stuck out like a sore thumb as did two of the 'songs within the 2nd
track' on Poland.
I like it! But over too fast for me!

I must admit that I was very unimpressed with Hyperborea when I got it
(when it came out !) Apart from 'No Man's Land', I really couldn't get
into any of the tracks. For me, NML was the only focussed track on the
whole disc.
And that's the way it's stayed. As studio albums go, it's one of the
few Virgin ones I wouldn't care if I never heard again. Not the
classic that many (most ?) Tadream members would make it out to be.

Aparently, it's a sample from a Godley and Creme album which uses
the 'Gizmo' (a guitar bowing device) intensely. I can't remember
the name of the album, but I'm sure I heard this first on Tadream.
Perhaps another list member could back this up.
The 'aaargh' sound which appears at 16:37 on the SBM (ironically,
one of the best 'TD sounds' of all time) is supposed to come from
the same album.

I agree that Liz Fraser is more suited to electronic music, but in
saying
that, I don't think I could stand any vocals in TD. 'Cyclone' is
different
because I see it as a space rock/prog rock album featuring Edgar and
Chris
on keyboards, not as a TD album.
When I heard Tyger, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I ended up
laughing and deciding never to buy another CD by a band who could turn
out such drivel. I've never regretted that decision (Coefficient of
Aural Expansion I & II doesn't count).

A one-hour meditative music video made for an HDTV broadcast in
Japan. MANDELA is a variant of the word 'mandala,' or at least that's
what I was told when I got the info about MANDELA. I don't recall
what year it was shown. I seem to remember dimly that Matt Hargreaves
knew something about this . . . or was it Elana Mell Beach???

Subject: Tape THE KEEP When It's on Local TV! -- A Plea
Really-From: Steven Feldman
This is a plea for a videotape of (the longer version of) THE KEEP
that runs on local and/or network TV, i.e. not on cable. The version on
regular TV has a 4 minute section at the end that does not appear on the
videotape, the laserdisc, nor cable--and it contains the most intense
music in the film.
It would be really nice if the entire 11 minute end-sequence of the
film was caught on videotape in the 2-hour (Short Play) mode in stereo
for those of us who love this part--and for those who've never seen nor
heard it.
This film comes on regular TV about once a year. Someone is bound
to catch it. If and when anybody does, please tell us that it's going
to be on in advance if possible.
-----
On another note, I just watched THE KEEP videotape for the first
time--since having read the book--last night. It was really rather odd
actually being able to understand how Michael Mann (the director) thinks
inasmuch as I understood quite often how what he chose to film and how
he chose to film it could and even should have worked in of itself--but
how in the greater context of the entire film, it didn't really come
together. I also was able to see where other parts of the film that had
been filmed might have been chopped. For example, when the scene shifts
to the weird pylons in the cavern below the keep--before showing Dr.
Cuza rummaging for the talisman, there is an abrupt cut in the music.
Also, when Magda Cuza comes to warn her father away from Molasar, she
says, 'It [the talisman] belongs to Glaeken Trismegistis, not Molasar,'
which is odd indeed, considering that neither of these names are ever
uttered anywhere else in the film.
I know someone who is a big fan of (Mann's) MIAMI VICE who has
correspsonded with Mann a few times. I plan on writing Mann myself to
see if he can restore THE KEEP and issue this version on laserdisk.
After having read the book and seen the movie afterward it is plain to
see that 'saving' this film from 'bomb' status wouldn't really be all
that hard. Reportedly, test audiences laughed and booed and Mann came
up with all sorts of alternate edits--none of which succeeded. I've
been told that there are actually a total of nine different versions
(i.e. edits) of THE KEEP film.
The biggest problems are: 1) we aren't told who Glaeken and/or
Molasar are, 2) we don't understand the motivation nor importance of
Glaeken's tryst with Magda Cuza, 3) we aren't given a satisfying
conclusion in that Glaeken's comment, 'When he [Molasar] dies, *I*
die,' isn't really reconciled, and 4) we don't find out Molasar's real
reason for feigning to be upset with the Nazis--which was to fool Dr.
Cuza into thinking that his plight as a holocaust victim-to-be had any
bearing whatsoever on his--that is, Molasar's--real concerns, which
were the corruption of the world on a level higher than that of Hitler
to begin with. In the book, Molasar--whose real name is Rasalom (the
name spelled backwards)--was actually the last surviving champion of
a race of extraterrestrial gods prefiguring Atlantis who corresponded
roughly to 'Chaos Lords' (in the Moorcockian sense). Glaeken, in turn,
was actually a man named Glenn who was the last of a line of champions
called the Glaeken which did the bidding of 'Lords of Order' of a sort.
Rasalom was made stronger than the Glaeken except for the Glaeken's
sword, which was made up of a rune-inscribed sword blade without a
handle that connect to the 'talisman' in the film which in the book was
the handle itself. In a great sequence, we learn that Rasalom has been
re-animating the corpses of the dead German soldiers nightly so that
they may dig out the buried talisman from the dirt (not shale) of the
cavern every night. Once the soldiers reach the talisman--about six or
eight feet down, Cuza climbs down into the ditch to retrieve the handle
for Rasalom, never suspecting that the handle is a handle, not what
Rasalom said it was. Also, the crosses on the walls of the keep look
more like a sword handle in the book (the symbol is used to separate
sections of chapters in the book dozens of times), so when we learn
that the talisman is actually the handle to the Glaeken's sword, it
is a great revelation. During much of the book, Cuza is led to assume
that Rasalom was a Romanian boyar loyal to Vlad Tepes, and that it was
Rasalom who was responsible for the lore of vampirism in the Balkans,
but this deception was merely a ruse to get Cuza to doubt his Jewish
faith when Rasalom pretended to be afraid of a Christian cross.
-----
Also . . . I noticed last night that the scene where Glaeken awakes
in bed and then goes by sea to Romania has a version of 'Moorland' for
its musical accompaniment. For those who never heard 'Moorland' (the
B-side from the 'Daydream' 45--off the TATORT German TV show), this is
close and quite nice. 'Moorland' is one of my top-fave TD tunes.
Scrutinizing THE KEEP quite closely last night, I noticed that the
music in the film differs greatly from that on the Blue Moon CD which
claims to derive the bulk of its contents from a studio master tape.
Still, it is odd that although there is a track called 'Brothers in
Arms' on the Blue Moon CD, it definitely does not correspond to the
scene where Glaeken carries Molasar in his arms inside the cavern below
the keep (the 4 minute scene missing from the video, LD, and cable
versions of the film). Also, why is 'Fisherman's Morning' (one of the
tracks that was played over the air on a German radio show) named what
it's named? The only boat that appears in the film is the one Glaeken
goes to Romania in, and it is a variant of 'Moorland' that is played
throughout, not 'Fisherman's Morning.' Strange.

It might be from a 3 lp release of Godley and Creme called 'Consequences'
I've got a copy and will see if I can find it. I also recall a sample from
a video of theirs that sounds like 'hold up'. As to the Gizmo, it is a
device they invented that has small rotators that hit the strings to effect
a 'bowed' sound. Consequences was used to showcase the thing and, as the
booklet explains, things got out of hand and it turned into 3 lp's. I don't
have the TD piece to compare.

I couldn't resist to comment on this. I think every track on Hyperborea is
a classic, except Cinnamon Road, which I can't stand (just like Dominion
from Logos) and I don't understand why it pops up on compilations! I
program my CD player to skip this track. The sounds on this album bring me
ecstasy! This was the last Virgin album I purchased on CD. I bought it in
Toronto while visiting a friend and we must have played it at least 10 times

First, let me offer a few comments about AMP. I've been watching the show
for about a month or so and, frankly, I'm unimpressed. Granted, at least
SOME form of electronic music is getting airplay but I find the mix of
artists on the show to be rather limited in style. To wit, it's mostly
either the monotonous beat-beat-beat compositions that go nowhere or it's the
blissed-out banality of tracks like 'We all want to be free' by Tranquility
Bass (NOT T-Bass!!). If I want some ambient stuff, Brain Eno is STILL
miles ahead of these newcomers. I don't recall seeing any Kraftwerk but perhaps
I just missed that week's show. The only video I've seen on AMP that held
my interest was one of the new Oxygene tracks from J-M Jarre.
I think that the show is more of an outlet for the video artists than for
the music itself. Some of the video techniques are innovative or at least
interesting while much of the music seems to take a backseat. But there's
also a lot of the rapid-fire image sequences that MTV is famous for. I must
say that FSOL's 'We Have Exposive' video is particularly guilty of this and
I find it to be one of the most annoying videos I've ever seen. Wasn't thrilled
about the music either. As for the Chemical Brothers, I'd like to see a
video OTHER THAN their 'Block Rockin' Beats' video. (So much for variety on
AMP!)

The only TD video single I have seen is Tiergarten. It appeared on the long
defunct 'New Visions' program on VH-1. Sure, the show was mostly for new age-
like artists but they had some interesting stuff, too. Don't expect it to
appear on AMP, though. It doesn't have enough beat to it nor does it seem
to be 'alternative' enough. ('Alternative' to what? ;^)

I was listening to the TD track 'oszillator planet concert' on a faster
speed the other day (don't ask) and I noticed--especially toward the
end--that there was this prominent melody line that was only apparent at
the higher speed (well, at least to me) and the melody was none other than:
'we all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine ...' (no vocals, of
course) OK you get the idea (now you won't be able to get that song out of
your heads for 2-3 days and will blame me for it, sorry) ... does anyone
know anything about this? is this some sort of tribute to the beatles? or

What is the deal with the 5cd Tangents compilation? It is a great
compilation, but, while listening to it, what do I hear? The same Rubycon
track on discs 2 and 3. They are both identical with different titles. On
disc 2 it's called Rubycon(The Decision). On disc 3 it's called
Rubycon(Crossing Part). Running times of each track are identical and so is
the music. Obviously this is a serious error on somebody's part at Virgin
records. I'm sure Edgar knows his own music enough to know that he
accidentaly put the same track on 2 discs. It could'nt be his fault. I feel
kind of cheated because now i'm curious to hear what would have been this
missing track. Does anyone have any information or explanation for this?

O.k. Here we go! Let me get this straight. You think Rising Runner is one of
TD's best commercial sounding tracks and you program your player to skip
Hyperborea???? Rising Runner has to have the most horrible vocals I ever
heard in any song. I would have enjoyed it more if they just left this track
instrumental. I guess 'different strokes'. Hyperborea has to be one of the
most moodiest TD pieces, that's why I love it. I do agree though about
Cinnamon Road. I love it's melody and it gets me in a happy mood. Goodnight
and God Bless. (Red Skelton)

Not that this settles anything, since it's just another opinion....but the
only track on Hyperborea I really care for *is* the title track. In fact,
it makes my TD top 20 tracks ever list. It has an...atmosphere, a
majestical mood, like 'Charly the Kid', 'Cottage', 'Bus Station', and
yeah, 'Love on a Real Train'. It's a track to get lost in. It's more than
just a showcase for the sounds of the new keyboards of the day. I will
admit that I've never totally liked the transitition between it's two
'movements', but it's over in a few seconds and then I can just sink
into part two...

Everybody has a different taste. I also like the track Hyperborea
very much. Compact, spooky and still some nice melodies.
I don't like C. Road either, the rest is good.

Hmmm. It seems to me that of all the tracks on HYPERBOREA, the
one most like Edgar's PINNACLES solo (from the same year) is 'Cinnamon
Road.' Am I stretching things by opining that 'Cinnamon Road''s
bounciness is akin to the opening section of PINNACLES' title track?
I wonder how many people who have HYPERBOREA also have PINNACLES.
Better still, I wonder how many people who like HYPERBOREA don't like
PINNACLES, and how many people who like PINNACLES don't like HYPERBOREA.
I ask this because HYPERBOREA tends to be on TD fans' Most Favorite
*and* Least Favorite lists of owned albums.
It's odd, to me, to hear 'Cinnamon Road' take such heat while all
the while I thought it was 'Sphinx Lightning' that turned so many folks
off to HYPERBOREA. As for myself, I like the opening two minutes of
'Hyperborea' (the album's title track) because it's similar to the
opening of David Bowie's 'Big Brother' (from the DIAMOND DOGS album),
but once the echoey tsching sound appears in the mix, it all sounds
sort of thin to me.

I can't say I agree with this either. Dominion, Cinnamon Road, and Rarebird
are TD being 'modern rock just for laughs'. Ok, I'll get raked over hot
coals for that one, but anyway... I like these tracks, but they are
definately not Phaedra!
Speaking of Phaedra, anyone else's nose twinge when they listen to time
index 3:30-5:30 on Sphinx Lightning? Listen closely!

I have to say that for Logos and Poland, I like the whole bloody thing (ok,
not Barbakane --burger king). But White Eagle and Hyperborea... how can I
say this delicately... on both discs, I think of the final track on each
one. -Sometimes- I remember the other tracks...

I agree with you. Cyclone is grossly under-rated. And yes, TD would have
gone the way of the dodo if they kept Steve Joliffe, but it was cool for one
disc, right guys? And you can't say the woodwind instruments didn't add
ambience! Seriously!

I have 'Hyperborea' but I don't have 'Pinnacle'. I do like 'Hyperborea' but
I do not seem overly excited about Cinnamon Road because I don't atune to
the 'bounciness' and repeatative nature of the track. If I want to listen
to instrumental music, it should have strong, definite emotional feeling as
does the title track. I want the music to go someplace other than
revisiting the same area over and over--as does Cinnamon Road for it's
short few minutes. I think this track was maybe Schmoelling's idea? He seem
interested in simple commercial type sounds--so says re-released Castle CD
inserts.
As far as Sphinx Lighting.. I really like the chime's reverb bass effects
at the start..
and especially the ambient section around the 9 minute mark.

Steven, you need to read your last posts about 'scam-a-thons',
commercialism, and the like. I thought you'd be the last one I'd hear these
statements from about commerical TD tracks. And tell me, do you believe
because it's on a compilation that it has to be 'good'. But I did play
Cinnamon Road once more tonight. The first 22 seconds are OK. skip->

I have both Hyperborea and Pinnacles. Hyperborea was the 2nd or 3rd TD CD
I bought. Pinnacles is among the late additions to the collection.
On the whole, I like Pinnacles a lot more than Hyperborea. On Hyperborea,
the title track is absolutely the best one. :) No Man's Land is somewhat
annoying, must be that 'oriental' feel. But nowhere near as annoying as
Cinnamon Road. It's probably the combination of those sharp sounds and
happy, poppy feel of the tune. *shrug* Dunno. Of Sphinx Lightning I don't
remember much (I'm not near CDs & player now), apart from the opening
sounds. I think it's rather okay, but forgettable. Hyperborea on the other
hands sticks out like a rose among the weeds in the garden. It's calm
and soothing and ... anyway, I like it a lot. One of my favourite single
tracks. The 'happy' qualities of the tracks aren't so in-yer-face on Pinnacles
as they are on Cinnamon Road. They are way subtler. In the long-track
contest, Pinnacles wins hands down. I remember comparing these two before,
and noting that Pinnacles stays together very well, not so disjointed as
Sphinx Lightning. That's my impresssion, YMMV. :)

I find No Man's Land to be my least favorite on this album. I love the title
track and Sphinx Lightning the most. Sphinx evokes images of a lightning
storm over the monuments of Egypt for me. I like the space in this
music...notes implyed but not actually played. I like the tune Cinammon
Road, but agree it doesn't really fit with the rest of the album. I have a
theory on this. You have to take the year this album came out into context.
At that time ('80 - '83) the 'New Wave' synth band craze was in full swing
and there were a plethora of foundling techno bands around (like OMD,
Polyrock, Our Daughter's Wedding, A Flock....etc. etc. ad nauseum). I think
either 1) the record company insisted TD have something more commercial on
the album to compete in this market; or 2) Edgar and company wanted to remind
all these newcomers who's who and where their roots came from and who they
were 'stealing' from! That's why Cinammon is so heavy with repetitative
sequencer patterns ala Kraftwerk or Devo. Just an opinion!

Hi there. I got my copy of the double cd of network 388 and it's really
good. I like the extra tracks and the quality of them is great.
Maybe i'm getting too far ahead of myself here, but i was wondering if
anyone has thought of possibly trying to market this compilation on the
internet to a larger audience? I know there's an independent group of
musicians on the internet called the creative musicians coalition and, if
you guys who put the diks together, I can inquire if it would be possible
to have a joint artist membership for a year, which would reduce the
amount that each of us would have to shell out for a membership
separately. Let me know what you guys thing, either on the list or by
direct mail. talk to you later.

Subject: Mandala
Really-From: Mathew Hargreaves
Ok Gang,
Lets gets the title for this little mysterious video correct. It is called
'Mandala', Not named after Nelson 'Mandela'. An easy confusion.
The short film/video was a demonstrator for the Japanese analog
High-Definition Broadcast TV system. The second definition for Mandala in
Websters dictionary states: '2. a graphic and often symbolic pattern usually
in the form of a circle divided into four separate sections or bearing a
multiple projection of an image.' I do remember the film being around 30
minutes, not 1 hour. Supposedly the scenes were shots from around the world.
Since the world is round(circular) I assume this fills part of the
definition. So I am assuming the film is broken into four sections.
Has anyone on this list ever seen the film ?

I suppose what the Castle text means by Schmoelling's 'commercial'
sound is that he (or his arrival with the band, you never know _who_ finally
came up with the idea) introduced to TD music a more determined
preconceived structure (i.e., elevating composition above improvisation)
and the idea of 'suite-style' movements, which develop from one motif to
another instead of elaborating on one musical idea and then ending the
track. A first, vague impression of that approach is already audible on
'Monolight' (i.e. pre-Schmoelling!), where the later 'tangentised' authentic
Monolight part leads on to completely different musical ideas, namely the
part based on 'Stratosfear' and, finally, the 'Invisible Limits' Piano Solo. On
previous albums, this structure was completely absent, whereas it
appeared on almost every single track of the Schmoelling era.
BTW, I don't think that we should label the sound of a particular track
'commercial', as this is too vague a term to apply to musical style. What
makes 'Cinnamon Road' commercial? What makes, say, 'Phaedra', um,
'not commercial'? Phaedra, for all I know, _did_ get into the charts, while
Hyperborea didn't...

As far as I know, Tangerine Dream had nothing to do with the remixing, it
was a Private Music in-house job. I can't imagine LoTB at 120 beats per

Patrick O'Hearn's 'Chattahoochie Field Day' on Mixed Up, so who knows?

liner notes of all the remasters, but in NML, the group found a unique
sitar-like or middle eastern sound which I haven't heard on many other TD
albums.
The discussion on this album just goes to show that the music of TD
can't be summarized, agreed on, etc. Now, how about some US dates, it's been
almost five years! Jeff

Hyperborea remains one of my top ten TD favorite albums. I like all of the
tracks, for different reasons, even Cinnamon Road. Someone here mentioned
that they didn't like Cinnamon Road for the same reason they didn't like
Dominion from Logos. I think I understand why but let me confuse things
further by saying that I like Cinnamon Road but don't care for Dominion.
Seems like we have no shortage of different opinions here. :-)
I also have Pinnacles and enjoy it as well, although it's not my favorite
EF solo album. It has similarities to Hyperborea but seems 'simpler' in
style. I think I enjoy Hyperborea more because of the additional layers
of complexity. (OK, maybe Cinnamon Road doesn't have much complexity to it
but I like it anyway.) Plus, I've always thought that both the title
'Hyperborea' and the album cover artwork were really cool! :)

O.k. nobody responded with an answer to the first posting of this letter so
here I am posting it a second time. Does anyone know the answer to this? I
got one response saying the explanation is in Beyond the Horizon.
What is the deal with the 5cd Tangents compilation? It is a great
compilation, but, while listening to it, what do I hear? The same Rubycon
track on discs 2 and 3. They are both identical with different titles. On
disc 2 it's called Rubycon(The Decision). On disc 3 it's called
Rubycon(Crossing Part). Running times of each track are identical and so is
the music. Obviously this is a serious error on somebody's part at Virgin
records. I'm sure Edgar knows his own music enough to know that he
accidentaly put the same track on 2 discs. It could'nt be his fault. I feel
kind of cheated because now i'm curious to hear what would have been this
missing track. Does anyone have any information or explanation for this?

OK i'll add my 2 cents to this discussion, I like both Hyperborea and

Hyperborea and think it is one of their best albums (5as) and it's in my
top 10 list. I love all four tracks, especially the Eastern/Indian feel to
it--I think this was some really innovative work by TD! I have also always
liked Pinnacles as well but its rating will have to wait for the D:solo

RACE . . . and the bulk of THREE O'CLOCK HIGH (and there's only 15 mins.
to choose from!) . . . and 'Loved by the Sun,' and most of side two of
ROCKOON. Whoops, and I almost forgot 'Cool at Heart' from MELROSE. But
'Caleb's Blues,' from NEAR DARK? Yep; this is a turkey.
I guess I'll have to go with the title track to OPTICAL RACE.

Subject: Hyperborea related Link
Really-From: 'Greg Heil'
Speaking of Hyperborea, I ran into a link about it without even looking for
anything about it! It dosn't have anything to do with TD's music, but if
you want to learn more about the idea and the word Hyperborea, go here:
http://www.levity.com/eschaton/hyperborea.html
It gets into some very odd ideas about time, pshycodelics, and Eastern
ideas.
I do think Hyperborea follows Exit in the addition of New Age ideas in
music. Just be warned about all the oddity and quite far out things on this
page! I heard the man who created this page on an interview over the
radio--so there is quite something involved with Hyperborea--

I'd say that most of Destination Berlin is worse than Optical Race. And

Don't you think the pinnacle of TD's commericial tracks was in the song
Optical Race? I'll tell you, when I hear that 'orchesra hit' sound in that
song.. that's enough to drive a lot of dedicated fans away. So much for
being in a circus--I think we do about as good here as video game
music--what do ya think?

Inquiring minds want to know, eh? :-)
I think the letter from Herr Froese to Beyond the Horizon said something
like this: that it was simply human error that the same track was
included twice. After the whole thing was assembled, no one person was
able to sit down and listen to the whole thing start to finish. So the
error was not found before the release. This is coming from memory, so it
may not be 100% correct.
This goof must be the reason why Tangents is already out of print (at
least in my neck of the desert)...

I have to agree with you 110% Scott! That's the only song I routinely

can't be a representative of the Blues! It's so canned, bland and totally

Hi Everyone,
Just a mail to say I agree with everyone who has been slagging the orb remix
of 'Towards The Evening Star'.....I brought it on limeted edition picture disk
vinyl because I tthought it would be worth something one day....after hearing
it I think I'll be lucky to give it away :).
I was tempted to buy an Orb album a little while ago but after hearing this I
have definitly changed my mind...all I can say is the only orb I will be
listening to is the one with ital at the end of it!!.
Seems the brill Tangents has been a talking point lately I would like to warn
people they if they don't own it and are thinking about it you had better
hurry up,my copy got nicked a while back so I have been scouting around for a
new one,a couple of places are telling me its deleted.....your be able to get
a copy from suppliers who have it but once all the copies in shops are gone it
looks like it will be gone for ever..Think I'll lock my copy away in the loft
somewhere!.
I'm still buzzing with the news that TD while be touring us Brits

sick waiting for them to show up last time at the Bush gig :(

I cannot decide on the worst between Destination berlin and optical race
so I'm gonna listen to them both and decide once and for all.....

I'm even more radical on this: Hyperborea is one of my top 4 TD albums,
together with Force Majeure, Tangram and Logos... Keep scratching your
head, Morgan :-)
When I listen to Hyperborea, I play always the whole album and enjoy
every note of it.
I still remember when the 'Funny noises' list was posted last month, I
put Hyperborea in my CD player just to find the 'I often did I often
did' part. Well, even after that part was found, I couldn't press the
stop button and played the whole album!
Also, considering that the 4 tracks were included in Tangents, can I
guess that Hyperborea is a Edgar Froese's favorite?
I also have Pinnacles and I like it too, but not as much as Hyperborea.

After time index 14:00, out of approximately 35 sound
effects/instruments/samples/notes (a horn sound, a tapping sound, a
slurshing sound, etc.) I have a negative physical reaction to about 28 of
them....
I mean, how can I describe this... the notes that are *almost* in key but

Hi all -
Knew even before I went to the site, it had to be Terence McKenna. I've
seen him three times - once for a 6 day gathering in Southern Cal at Joshua
Tree, and again in Eselan for a long weekend, and then a couple of years
later in Arizona for another long weekend. Spellbinding - for those who
haven't had the pleasure of hearing him weave his web of words, tapes are
available.
IMO his stories are the verbal equivalent of TD's best emusic.

Subject: Re: How Many People Who Have HYPERBOREA Have or Like PINNACLES?
Really-From: Mark Jones
I have both Hyperborea and Pinnacles and like them both. They are
both very similar, and I've spent no end of time wondering which
influenced the other. My preference is to believe that Pinnacles
influenced the making of Hyperborea; ultimately this is the chicken and
egg thing all over again and isn't that important.
Overall, Pinnacles seems to be much more meditative in quality, capturing
that aspect of the desert which lulls the mind into a state of sleeping
awareness. I'd describe it as 'music for staring at nothing in particular
for long periods of time.' It's very unobtrusive; each piece just kind of
'hangs in the air' and doesn't attempt to do anything overwhelming.
Hyperborea, on the other hand, takes a lot of the same thematic material
and turns out a very impressive display of hyperactive sequences,
expansive chord progressions, and thundering percussion. I tend to pick
this one apart more critically than Pinnacles. I didn't like No-Man's
Land: it seems to want to do what 'Specific Gravity of Smile' does for me,
which is to kind of relax the mind, leave it open so that it will not only
hear but listen to itself. However, there's too much boinging and
thumping around, and as a result, I keep waiting for the piece
to 'do something,' even after the nth time of listening to it. The tracks
that follow, however, are much 'better,' by which I think I mean that they
achieve what they set out to do: to instill a sense of awe and wonder at
what the synthesizer can do in the hands of the right person or people.
Even the maligned Cinnamon Road, for being a filler piece, has its moment
of glory: I'd say toward the end, when the melodic string-thing that
sounds like a sitar but with a bit of an edge to it starts improvising
along the melody line. It would have been interesting if TD had combined
Cinnamon Road with Sphynx Lightning.
Anyway, that's what I thought about it.

I agree. 'Museum Walk' and 'Running Out of Time' remain among my favorite
pieces. One question: is this piece 'Love on a Real Train,' which I keep
reading so much about, the same as 'Running Out of Time?' The reason I
ask is because in a posting several months ago listing the program for the
'92 Scottsdale gig, someone had written that they had played 'LOART.'
However, it was my recollection, however mistaken, that the piece was in
fact 'Running Out of Time.' I was wondering if the pieces were similar.

'NYAHHH-NYAHHH-NYAAAAA!!!! Lookee what he did!!!' note attached. I would
love to see the two (Jean-Michel & Edgar) get into a contest to see who
could do a more retro release ('Take that, Herr Froese, just a Mellotron, a

Earlier I had said that this was my LEAST favorite on the album...still is.
But to clarify my position, I like what they were trying to do. It is an
interesting experiment in eastern/Indian music, an attempt to mimic the
sitar, tabla, etc. sounds with the synthesiser. I just don't feel it was
wholly successful...none-the-less pretty amazing for the time. In the end,
though, I think I'd rather hear this music performed by the real masters of

It is probably underrated because it is so different from everything else TD
have done, especially at that point in time when it was actually released. It
seems less electronic and more rock-ish than Encore, does not have the
'flowing' mood of Pergamon or Tangram, and is more sinister and somber
than Force Majeure. Above all, it's got vocals. I suppose that most TD fans
don't like it because it seems to be so different, almost alien, and not really
a part of the development of TD. It doesn't seem to actually be a transition
between Encore and Force Majeure; it is in some confusing way
extraordinary, say, _odd_. Conversely, having vocals and a very clear rock
structure, I reckon it might be quite accessible for non-TD fans. It was the
one and only TD record my father ever bought, and it was my own first TD
experience.
Personally, I like Cyclone, especially 'Bent Cold Sidewalk'. It's got a very
narrative, almost epic style (somewhere between The Doors and Jethro
Tull) that for some strange reason always reminds me of some scenes from
'Neverending Story'. I really don't know why.

Yep, that track is no fun at all. It seems to be the most uninteresting, trite

You aren't kidding. In fact, I've only played the last eight TD
releases that I own a mere -8 times. Can't stand them all that much.
Unless I've been a bad boy and had too much to drink, then they get
pulled out because I have built up my (liquid) courage enough to give

*lol* this is funny. I think that a competition would screw the music

billion of retro releases, he should pull out the old machines!

Well, I haven't really listened to Poland recently. As you know, all I have at
the moment is the 'Excerpts from Poland' version, and the full version
(which I'm looking forward to receiving quite soon) would be spoiled if I
played it now. I remember Barbakane as a really nice piece, though. As far
as I can recall, there's that really peaceful, almost minstrel-style intro in
some sort of flute-like sound...then a few drum loops, effects and melody
fragments, nothing particularly catchy, but nice and atmospheric and still
rather peaceful and relaxing...and finally, it all blends into 'Warsaw in the
Sun', which in my view has a much greater effect when concluding the very
slow and mellow build-up, rather than being played on its own. As I said
before, the same things also goes for the 'Two Bunch Palms' version on
Quinoa. Regard the piece as some sort of musical narrative, and the lack of
melody in the opening parts of 'Barbakane' will be outweighed.

It is a really good album. If anything, though, it's _too_ similar to
'Oxygene'. The question is if JMJ will be able to keep up the 'spirit of the
70s' he employs in 'Oxygene 7-13' on future releases that are _not_ based
on Oxygene, Equinoxe, etc. in terms of melodies, sounds, etc. Knowing TD,
I'm sure they wouldn't go out of their way to do 'Rubycon Parts 3&4' or
'Tangram Set Three'. I wouldn't mind, though, if their style of composition
became more similar to the 70s method again...

Hi Everybody. This has been a fascinating discussion and a real
'learning thread.' I'd like to thank all participants for their
insightful remarks. Regarding which came first, I believe 'Pinnacles'
was recorded in May of 1983 and 'Hyperborea,' three months later, in
August. Personally, I love them both and I would rank 'Hyperborea' as
one of my three or four most favorite studio albums, but I don't see (or
hear, actually) any more relationship between them than between any of
the other albums of the early 80s. For example, 'Hyperborea' and 'White
Eagle' are more connected to me than are 'Hyperborea' and 'Pinnacles.'
It's funny how to the uninitiated, all TD sounds alike and to us, the
albums all sound different. I think each album is unique and this
applies to the Melrose albums as well. I like the Schmoelling era best
as I would guess the majority does. But think each album has been an
experiment of sorts and relative to other bands and their experiments,
very successful and 'developmental.' Back in December I started a
thread by trying to compare TD and KS. I said that TD has been more
consistent than Klaus. Most disagreed with me at the time. I wonder if
most still disagree? Cheers to All. -- Mark

Who's hiccuping on track two? Whatever sound that is, I hope they

NO! NO! I won't mention S**** G**** again - but the recent comments re:
Jon Michel Jarre made me think of the same thing - that JMJ is so popular
because he is a master of producing great melodies (amongst other things
like marketing, being married to an actress, looking good, presenting a
great image, doing blockbuster concert events etc), his first ever big hit,
'Oxygene' which got into no 1 in the Top of The Pops chart was because of
a simple but effective melody line - wrapped up with wonderful spacey
effects - TD were into producing long tracks like on 'Rubycon' and
'Phaedra'.
It does seem to me that TD have never been very good at producing at 3 mins
of memorable melody - and are now trying to do exactly that - again without
great success. Personally, I prefer the longer tracks which build up and
take you on a journey - much more of an experience - like a 3-course gourmet
meal rather than a MacDonalds Burger - both fill you up but the former is
more memorable and satisfying.
One of their nicest recent long tracks for me is 'Quinoa' - lovely chords
and sequences - pity the ending lets it down - seems like they got fed up
and thought
' Ah well, thats enough of that, lets draw it to a close - hold on - how
about a brass chord here? - ok and chuck in a change of drum
pattern.......that'll do - lets call it a day - should be good enough for
the fan club'
Again The long track on 'Hyperborea' is great because it is so subtle! and
the journey from start to finish evokes a lot of images - I do like the
'cows mooing' sound - know the one I mean?.

I think the new Oxygene deserves to sell more, but it will anyway as
most 'normal' people (so I don't include us lot!) are fed up with TD
due to too many substandard samey releases....
It'd take something extra special to lure me into buying TD albums

There's more to Jarre's music than catchy three-minute fragments, though.
Most of his albums are, basically, one-track...the excerpts that made it into
the charts are just parts of the whole movement. Think about 'Quinoa', from
which TD included the 'Two Bunch Palms' fragment in their 1992
show...that's roughly the idea. I know that the discussion about what is
actually a single track, and what is an assembly of tracks linked by effects
and crossfading, has been going on on the list a while ago, but regardless
of that, you cannot claim that JMJ's music was less complex or interesting
than the TD works of the time.

Well, I haven't heard 'Zoning', but as for 'Turn of the Tides' and 'Goblins
Club', what they certainly have going for them is that they have some sort
of quasi-narrative structure to link the individual pieces. TotT has a
distinctive 'panorama' feel, with the sounds and chords spreading out into
almost infinity; and GC has a very solemn, mysterious atmosphere to it that
makes you think of foggy plains, damp forests and the sea at night... To me,
'Rockoon' doesn't offer any of that sort. It seems to me like a totally
random collection of songs, maybe two or three of which are quite nice - but
I don't even remember which ones...

Use the source, Lars ;-)
The remix was done inofficially by Private Music studio staff.
Never officially released, just circulating (before Rare Trax 2) on a
cassette in the usual Private Music pre-release design. No number.
In my 'updates' I only review stuff that I hold in my own hands, so,
yes, someone on the list does have it. And there are still a few
copies of Rare Trax 2 available (limited edition of 20).
And for the dude who recently wrote here that Christoph hadn't done
any solo stuff during his time as a TD member: some solo demos are
on this very same CDR.

I was fortunate enough to discover a copy on Friday at a local music

My girlfriend, who's a bit familiar with Jarre from having heard me
play Oxygene and Equinoxe a lot, immediately recognized the connection
w/the original Oxygene. Both of us thought it was really well done -
the connection was clearly there (in a few parts, perhaps a bit too
much so), but it still had a 90's sound on it.

On this end, it's gotten more play than ToTT already, and is quickly
closing in on ToB. Oxygene 7,8 and 11 are my favorites at the moment.
Oxygene 11 obviously borrows some from 'Digisequencer', and that's
just fine by me, as it was about the only track on 'Hong Kong' which
was worth much, IMO.
>I would love to see TD do something like this; take the spirit and the

I keep waiting and hoping that it'll happen, but no such luck thus
far. If GC had half as many tracks and explored the musical ideas
there a bit longer, it would be getting closer. However, it really
ends up being a very 90's album, good for those with a short attention
span ... 'ok, here's this musical idea .. ok, next ... ok, next ...
don't want you to get BORED or anything!'
>Which do you think will sell more copies, GOBBLIN' CLUB or OXYGENE 7-13 (my
>bets are on the French guy on the Sony label...)
Not even a close call, at least worldwide. Interesting to see that
Jarre is now on EPIC here in the US.
Oxygene 7-13 is a pleasant surprise from an artist who I thought had
gotten too self-indulgent to produce enjoyable music. I'm glad I was
wrong.

I have the old Relativity release of Alpha on cd. In the opening minutes of

if they used a Lp to record this cd. Does the new Castle release have this

Subject: D: Tangents
Really-From: Boneheads1@a...
I think Tangents is my favorite Tangerine Dream album. I have pretty much
heard every TD album at the time they were released since I heard Phaedra in
1974. When CDs came out I was quite intimidated at the prospect of replacing
a considerable record/tape collection with CDs. I got Dream Sequence and was
disappointed to find out that many of what appeared on the outside cover to
be full length pieces were actually shortened excerpts. Later, I happened to
meet Matt Hargreaves in a local CD store and he told me about a new
compilation of remastered music that was soon to be coming out.
Tangents was such a suprise! It allowed me to rediscover so much wonderful
music that my ears/mind had become accustomed to over years of repeated
playing. I now have all the studio albums and live releases on CD, but I
still play Tangents quite often to provide that 'other look' at the music
which I think does a lot to keeping it alive. Thanks Edgar for taking the
time to give us something extra in this one!

To me, it is the next logical step after Force Majeure (except for the
vocals). Yes, it's harsh and sinister, but isn't Encore? It's been over a
year since I've listened to Encore and I need to listen to it again,

Optical Race, Zoning, and Destination Berlin are tied for worst, IMHO.
I don't see Turn of the Tides as one of the worst. You have to understand
that my first tape was ToTT and my second tape was Rockoon. Even after
having heard almost everything else released by TD, I have to put Turn of
the Tides and bits of Rockoon above Melrose, Optical Race, and even parts of
White Eagle.
Turn of the Tides may be sickeningly instrumental to some people, but I like
it. And yes, I do think it's exceptionally tacky that track 3 has car and
cricket sounds in it!! And let's not talk about the party sound effects in
that other track!
Yes, TD has over-done their Native American chants library, time to move on,
or move back, to analogue, n'est pas? And if track (I forget, 5 or 6) on
Goblin's Club is supposed to be a boys choir, why does it sound like
samples? I don't know boys that stop and start their notes like that!!! I
prefer the Mellotron choruses to the stuff on Goblin's Club.
Ok, spouting mode off... back to blind lover of TD...

It was released _before_ FM, though, wasn't it? It's true that if there's any
album of TD's that Cyclone would be similar to, it would be that, but still I
have the impression that it is a dead end that was given up after just one
record.

Encore (in my own personal opinion, as usual), rather than being harsh,
could be called somewhat coarse, as the links between the individual
elements of the whole suite structure (which was employed on 'Encore' for
the first time, if I remember well) are not as refined and fluent as they were
in the Schmoelling era. If you've got Phaedra, Rubycon and Stratosfear, just
listen to 'Encore' again, and I'm sure you'll like it. It's a good record and a
very interesting demonstration of the TD skills of that time - even if I like
'Patrolling Space Borders' just as much, if not more.

Disagree with you there. I don't have EM, but 'Alpha Centauri' is excellent!
Listening to that album first, and all the others until 'Phaedra' after that, I
actually get the impression that 'Zeit' and 'Atem' might have been a step
backwards rather than forwards after 'Alpha Centauri'. Does anyone feel the
same?

Okay! Shoot me everyone! I happen to like track 7--'Lifted Veil'
this is wonderful music to listen to in the dark.. with just a candle lit..
Very emotional! Although I just can't understand WHY they had to
put in a sax! The song in it's simple nature is fine without the addition
of the dreaded sax :) MHO. I also like track 8--'Penguin Reference' as it
continues the tempo of the last track. About the only time I see TD
having a direction in this album is between these two songs. Wish they were
combined into one track.. as the second leads the same tempo
into more up tempo stuff.
'Spanish Love'? Take out that clack-clack-clack-clack and it would be fine!

Subject: Consistency of TD
Really-From: Pawel Jachowicz
Dear Dreamers,
It has been a very long time since I last read or participated in the list.
I have been catching up on the reading today and there are some great TD
threads running.
Hyperborea: I remember when I first listened to this album in 1984. I
did not even realize that they released it until then. I was very
influenced by Tangram, Logos and Exit and Hyperborea seemed like
something totally different. At first I did not like it, but the more
I listened to it, the more I enjoyed the music. In fact, after awhile
there was a time where I continuously listened to it and found
something new each time. I completely agree that the album must be
heard as a whole. The second side complements the first side
enormously and it is one of my all time favourite TD pieces.
Consistency: I finally reached a point where I no longer expect from
TD to be consistent. I think it is natural for any band to change,
especially if its members change and almost thirty years pass since
their first release. I definitely prefer TD's 70's and 80's
repertoire, but their newest stuff is digestable with patience,
sentiment and devotion. For me at least, it is not as emotionally
absorbing as their earlier output. I have to agree with those who
claim that Klaus Schulze has been much more consistent over the years
than TD. I believe that the best measure of consistence is the
emotional attachment I feel to the Artist's music. I can still listen
to Klaus' concoctions and feel what he wanted to express. I got very
attached to his Beyond Recall album, even though it is not that old.
I no longer get this from TD's music. I tried, but I just could not
find that passionate attachment I felt during the earlier years.
Their music is still highly sentimental for me, and that is why I will
probably still listen to it.
Dream on everyone,
Pawel

Hi,
I remember that on some FAQ (guess the FAQ on the official TD
homepage) somebody asked TD what they would do if they are in a
restaurant and suddenly realize that their music is played. The answer was
that they'd pay the bill and leave.
I asked myself what restaurant would play TD? Even in really good
restaurants you mostly hear awful cover versions of mainstream pop
or classical music with underlying drum beats and bass lines - a rape!
But last week I've been in Palermo in Sicily. I had a wonderful 4 course
dinner at the 'Il Mirto e la Rosa' in Palermo, adress Via Principe
Granatelli, 30, for those who happen to be there and want to try.
During my primo piatto, I almost dropped my cuttery in surprise!
They played 'Catwalk'!

Tom,
I have listened (am listening) to the Castle remaster of
this album and cannot hear the dropouts you suggest.
However, the crackling you menion at the start of Fly and
Collision of Comas Sola (one of TD's best track ever, IMHO)
is certainly present.
There is also a very significant tape hiss at the start of
the first and third tracks, indeed wherever it is
particularly quiet. As a complete idiot as far as musical
recording techniques are concerned, I would guess that
these noises appear on the master tapes too?

I took a friend of mine to her high school Formal back in 1990, and we
went to a fairly nice resturant in Brantford, Canada. Le Parc was played

Subject: THE MAN INSIDE ( L'affaire Wallraff)
Really-From: 'Francisco Salgado C.'
Hi friends,
Now playing, a modest cassette copy of The Man Inside.
Whow!!
Speaking about sountracks this one seems to be one of the most
consistent, well crafted and a CD by it's own.
Speaking about melodies, somebody said here TD never did a good one -
like Jerre doed - Well, this CD has plenty of good, near comercial,
melodies.
Style similar to Destination Berlin ( haslinger hand here) but a lot
more consistent. A good balance between melancholic song and dynamic
energetic ones. Lots of musical background stuff for sports programs.
Soundtrack value: 5 AS
CD value: 4 AS
In the hands of the Sony guys it could be the comercial hit TD deserved.
I f you happend to see it bouy it. Ve-e-e-ry gooood value !!!
( I NEED A GOOD COPY OF IT BUYS !!, Cassette is only for a taste, so
I'll try to find it)

The music forn Neverending Story was done by Giorgio Morodor.
I don't know if the music is worth buying, I don't have it.
But I liked the movie and the music, so I guess the CD(?) would
be nice too.

Subject: :::::Le Parc:::::
Really-From: PNaunton@a...
26-MAY-97
Listening to 'Le Parc' again this morning.
I enjoy this concept album, although, in general, I don't find myself
attracted to the genre. This feels more like a triptych made popular in the
nineteenth and early twentieth century by composers like Mussorgsky or
Respighi. To me it is an expanding experience listening to TD's
interpretation of the various parks. The music is varied in mood and style,
shows good developmental creativity, and can be enjoyed on several levels.
I have never gotten involved in ranking the music of Tangerine Dream. I
have difficulty maintaining a consistent contiguous thought regarding this
recording or that. The music is flexible enough that it can fit a variety of
moods. Some recordings don't fit all of the time. I can't listen to 'Turn
Of The Tides' cavalierly; it fits in a particular niche of my personality,
one which does't come to the surface all that often. Once in a while, though,
this music will really carry me off to distant lands and dimensions. On the
other hand recordings like 'Force Majeure' I can listen to in almost any
situation to achieve musical enlightenment. Occasionally though, oddities
like
'Destination Berlin' take center stage as the 'recording of the day', and
then at other times it sounds trite and uninspired.
It is sometimes peculiar how changes in mood and drive will create different
perspectives on the music of Tangerine Dream. This is the case for me at
least. Perhaps mental instability has alot to do with it. ;-)

Were you around at the announcement of the new tour CD
'Tournado' (no, this isn't a wind up)? A supposedly
virginal CD of the second set of the current European tour?
And, of course, the most important news is the european

Of course, that doesn't help you much, but thought you'd

It depends which copy you have. If it's the radio broadcast, then
you're talking about Mr Tommy Vance, and it was taped from the UK
Radio 1 show, The Friday Rock Show.
If it's the Coefficients of Aural Expansion, then it's John Peel,
the Radio 1 DJ who did a lot to popularise TD in the early years.

Really-From: 'Grant Middleton'
Just listened to a tape of Kraftwerk playing live at this year's
Tribal Gathering in England (can't remember exactly where).
They still kick butt and no mistake. The crowd were in love with
them ! It's interesting to note that pieces they composed in
the mid '70s (twenty years ago, for those not so gifted at mental
arithmetic) are still relevant enough to get a few thousand ravers,
many of whom weren't born when 'Autobahn' came out, going wild.
If that isn't a definition of 'seminal', I don't know what is.

Yeah, but were they playing the originals, or 'The Mix'
versions? I assume the latter, given that the whole
'gathering' is about up-tempo thumpy music. If this is the
case then even TD have shown that they can achieve the sam
effect (Dream Mixes).
IMHO, Dream Mixes is better than The Mix. Not intended to
start another KW vs TD war, just a comment.
And with the klunk-klink-ping-gap of the original KW work,
it's not too difficult to augment a whacking great THUMP on
top without altering the underlying music much. Couldn't
really do the same with the type of music TD was producing
at the same time, eh?
Remember, Grant, you have to be nice to me for at least
another 8 days! 8-))

Right! I heard OXYGENE 7-8 on a New Age show (where it belongs)
two weeks ago and found it exciting (well, better than most of what
Jarre puts out) and so bought a promo of it at a used record shop the
other day. I think most of the album is really a bunch of nothing.
The opening two tracks are moderately entertaining, but they sound
more trite with each listen. I'd have to say that I like CHRONOLOGY
more than OXYGENE 7-10. At least it has two tracks that cook! Hey,
and re commercial, shallow e-music, there's stuff on Kitaro's recent
(two years ago?) live album that's better than anything Jarre's done
since WAITING FOR COUSTEAU.
I treat Jean-Michel Jarre like I do Klaus Schulze. I tend to buy
his stuff since as a fan of 1970's e-music I'm *supposed* to like him.
For the most part, though, I *don't* like his/their stuff.
>Again The long track on 'Hyperborea' is great because it is so subtle!

Very true. The title track to PINNACLES does much the same as
'Sphinx Lightning' for me, although in different ways.
>[...] I do like the 'cows mooing' sound - know the one I mean?.
Not offhand, but if you like such sounds, you *must* obtain a
copy of the Nightcrawlers' SHADOWS OF LIGHT. The second the two 25-
minute tracks has really intense, drawn-out synthesized moos and very
evocative synthesized lightning sounds that sound like a cross between
electrical sparking and ocean surf. For those who like Baumann and/or
Schmoelling TD the most, get this album. It'll be on the 2-CD
Nightcrawlers set on Mannikin and Cue Records.

I don't think you'll change your mind, Matt. 'Little Fluffy Clouds'
and all the Orb's work is blighted by an inability to exercise
restraint; Inappropriate samples and clunky changes do not
space music make. Orbital certainly have more to offer and I think
you'd be better spending your money on them.

That's my point. The KW stuff didn't require much of a rework
_because_ they were so far ahead of their time. TD's stuff (I
would assume, as I've not heard DM) would require far more
'knocking into shape'.
And then you have 'Rubycon Revisited'.....I rest my case.

What a stupid reason for buying discs. If you don't like it, vote with
your wallet and don't buy it. That's what I do when confronted with a

Subject: OFF: The Neverending Story by Klaus Doldinger
Really-From: Craig Shipley
I noticed that there were a few postings about the music to this film and
wanted to throw in my two cents. Klaus Doldinger (the prime mover behind
the fusion band Passport, which has, alas, forgotten the progressive roots
from which it sprang and is now a 'contemporary instrumental' sax-led,
forgettable, fuzak band. The early stuff, up until about the early '80's
was great, especially the 'green-cover' stuff like HAND MADE, LOOKING THRU
and SECOND PASSPORT.) recorded the soundtrack for the first movie and I
believe that there were at least two versions available. One had the title
track that was sung by that Limahl guy (and I think Moroder did the music
for that track) and then there is the German release, which is strictly
Doldinger ('Die Unendliche Geschichte'). Have only seen one copy of this CD
ever and it is in my collection :-). I think the Limahl/Moroder song was
for the English release of the movie only, since my CD has no indication
that the song was performed for the German release (the CD has a copy of
the footer that you see with most movie ads and only Doldinger is
credited).
That's all, folks...

Dream Mixes presents remixes of some of their early- to
mid-90s tracks, which already had thumpy bits. But
returning to the original music, I think TD and KW were
producing completely different types of music : TD's is
warm, layered, textured, engulfing and excellent; KW's is
mechanical, stand-offish and okay.
(Okay, I suppose part of the above deserves a 'IMHO', but
some of it is fact!)
As to who was more ahead of their time, we'd probably be
here for weeks arguing that one.
> And then you have 'Rubycon Revisited'.....I rest my case.
Yeah, but that wasn't a TD production. Any idiot can ruin a
piece of music - its creating great music where the skill
lies.

Amazing. All this time I thought Grant was playing devil's

them and prefers Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre!!??????!

No, no, no, no, no ! I didn't mean that KW were MORE ahead
of their time, just that the music they made in 1974 is
still sounding fresh in 1997. This, to me, puts to rest
the whole question of whether or not KW were 'seminal'.

KW and JMJ are better than TD in 1997. This is not an opinion.
This is not a question of taste. I can prove this on an 'Etch-

Sigh, if that's the case, I won't be buying any more Haslinger or
Chris Franke albums. Recent stinkers I've had the misfortune to have
bought and listened to:
o UNIVERSAL SOLDIER soundtrack -- Franke
o BABYLON 5, Vol. 2: MESSAGES ROM EARTH -- Franke
o MUNDUS SUBTERRANEUS -- Lightwave (with Haslinger)
o WORLD WITHOUT RULES -- Haslinger
Chris Franke stuff I've gotten fairly recently that I at least
find *some* redeeming value in is:
o NEW MUSIC FOR FILMS, VOL. 1
o ENCHANTING NATURE (the three new tracks)
o THE CELESTINE PROPHECY (*one* good track)
o DREAM ROOTS, 5th CD (I blame much of the lameness on Chris)
Thanks for deciding for me, Grant. No more Franke and/or
Haslinger for me! :(

Sure, it's a bit fomulaic, almost trite, but it's still one of the better

I taped this live from the BBC and IMO they just blew away all the House,
Dance and what have you music that had been on before. Although KW was the
inspiration for many of the _bands_ during Tribal Gathering they just
didn't have the spark that makes KW what they are. Same with TD - they do
manage to put the bits together.
BTW did you notice that although the KW content was the Mix, it was
_tangetised_ , updated just a little to make it sound right up to date. Or
maybe it was that they were actually playing live - it sounded like it.

I was at a restaurant outside Cleveland in about 1984 or 5, and they

It's a tape, so I don't know which. Which one sounds like Eric Idle? He

Doldinger also did the ST to Das Boot, which is really good. Sort of a

NES is by Giorgio Moroder and Klaus Doldinger. The score is electronic
and is actually a pretty good score, if you can overlook the vocal track
by Limahl...woo hoo! If it's good electronic music you want in a
soundtrack though I suggest Moroder's Cat People over NES. There's some
amazing analog & drum sequences on CP and Limahl is replaced by a more
competant vocalist: David Bowie. Believe it or not..I think most people
are so into TD that they don't realize how much non-TD music is out there
that is so much better. Of course, the whole bias thing comes into play.
I think too many TD fans have that 'Oh, nothing is as good as Tangerine
Dream so why bother' attitude. That's too bad because they are snubbing
some hair raisingly good electronic music.

No relation at all, apart from the genre they've been slotted into. No
relation to William Orbit, either.
Speaking of which, I recommend William Orbit's 'Strange Cargo 3' and
'Hinterland' to anyone who enjoyed the Dream Mixes. He works in a
contemporary dance oriented style, but not at 150 bpm.

P.S. Oxygene 7-13 is a superb album, one which we keep coming back to again
and again. BTW, anyone else tried Enigma's latest? Another superb album,
best with the lights off and a couple candles on the floor for improved
ambience.

Hey, all!!
I have two copies of Elemental's 'Lux Aeternae' CD for sale ($12 each
including shipping). It's 76 minutes of pure analogue heaven in the
style of early TD -- gurgling synthesizers, no MIDI, all analogue --
done on ARPs and the like. This CD is SO good, that it got a review in
the upcoming German KEYBOARD magazine!
I LOVE it. I have two copies myself, in fact :)
If anyone is interested, please let me know PRIVATELY.

B5 v2 is a great CD. If you liked the first, you should like this one also.
v2 has the same sort of flowing orchestral/synth soundtrack passages that
the first one has, but this time they are interspersed with the opening
themes from each of the four seasons.

Really-From: Rich Maggio
Steven,
Don't give up so quickly on Franke. I don't have any of the CDs
of his that you mention below, but I do have
The London Concert
Pacific Coast Highway
Klemania
Personally, I think all of these CDs are great. The London
Concert features a lot of tracks from Pacific Coast Highway,
so if you decide to try again, get one or the other for
starters. Klemania has long tracks that develop over
time - in the spirit of the old TD that many of us seem
to long for (I happen to like the new stuff as well as the
old stuff - though my preference is the old stuff, admittedly :-).
These CDs don't sound like new TD at all. I can't really pinpoint
a TD era that they sound like, just like it is hard to do
with Edgar's solo stuff. As you would expect, the music
is more sequenced than Edgar's stuff, not as melodic. This
does not mean 'bad' though, IMHO.
The point is that you may have beaten the odds (in the wrong
direction) by picking out all of his 'stinkers' by chance.
You may want to give it just one more try. Unfortunately,
I haven't heard any of the 'stinkers' to make a direct comparison.
Maybe you will listen to these and think they are garbage as well.
I don't want to see you cheat yourself out of some good Emusic -
it seems to be harder to come by nowadays.
Further comment much welcomed. Anyone else agree with me?

Coincidentally, these are also the only three Franke CDs
that I own. However, these have also persuaded _me_ to stop
buying Franke, so read into that what you like!

I agree these don't sound like new TD (though I don't why
they would), but I wouldn't say that it's ot as melodic as
TD or Edgar's stuff. PCH is full of sickeningly twee
melodies and tunes which, as you correctly state, often
appear on TLC too. Klemania just has a few tunes stuck
together in long tracks, IMO.
Hmmmm. Why do I still own these ?

Hmm, I don't feel Cyclone to be any more different than, say, Stratosfear,
Force Majeure, Tangram, Hyperborea, ... During that period (mid-70's -
early 80's) almost each album was quite different from the others. In that
respect I don't believe Cyclone's bad reputation to be from being
different. Perhaps it is the vocals, perhaps not. It is often hard
to pinpoint exactly what it is that causes the dislike. Well at least
for me, YMMV of course.
> Personally, I like Cyclone, especially 'Bent Cold Sidewalk'.
I like all the tracks. The lyrics are obscure enough (at least for me).
What surprises me when people are saying they don't like Cyclone, is
that almost no-one ever mentions Madrigal Meridian. IMHO that track
alone should prove that Cyclone is not the bad apple it's supposed
to be. It's wonderfully 'dark' and 'sinister' track, with lots of
emotion woven into it.

Dominion happens to be one of my favourite short TD tunes, along

Cinnamon Road is among the least favourite short tunes. Go figure.

Indeed. And that's what makes things so great and interesting. I hadn't

put that particular disc in the CD player.

Yup, I'd agree with that. I've mentioned before on this
list about how hard-core 'Pink Years' fans must have
reacted to (what I see as) the sudden change in direction
Phaedra represented. As you point out, Stratosfear is also
(IMO) a radical change, as is Cyclone, FM, and then
Tangram.
During the Schmoelling and then Haslinger years, there
seemed to be more 'direction' or consistentcy (or
repetition?) in the albums.
Now, if we look back over the last three official TD
releases, we perhaps see signs that TD's new direction is
to not have one!! Dream Mixes, Goblin's Club and Oasis are
all different from each other in quite significant ways.
And whilst we can explain these away by saying that DM is a
'remix novelty' album, GC is the standard studio album and
Oasis is a soundtrack, maybe that's being unfair to the
boys.
Maybe we're heading back to the days where picking up a new
TD album fills us with anticipation for whch new direction
will have been taken now, rather than the (IMO) formulaic
attitude of most of the Haslinger and early-Froese/Froese
years.
BTW, what does YMMV mean?

he writes good tunes and makes consistently good albums. Edgar is on a tiny
label compared to Sony and they don't have the cash to push TD into every
damned record shop in the country?
Why do we keep coming back to this same tired old theme?
Regards
Exasperated of Newcastle'''''
My dear Dave,
Too much rehearsing has diminished your mental process -( or should that
be 'made you mental'?).
My comments did not say or even mirror the sentiment that TD were better in
the old days!!!
Indeed, my own persoanl favourite TD album has to be '220 Volts' - which
was post Franke and analogue gear!
My comments were purely related to to the commercial success of JMJ and
relating that to the fact that he does right good tunes - whereas TD aren't
good at this and perhaps this is why they have never reached the plateau
reached by JMJ! And I think being married to Dumpling DOES have a positive
effect - its got him TV coverage - and I think you'll agree that that is
a big boost in the popularity stakes! And finally, all the record shops
have JMJ's albums not because they are 'pushed' into doing so by Sony - its
because they KNOW they are going to sell them! - I daresay, the record
shops are clamouring for the albums - whereas, poor Edgar is reduced to
putting his music out on his own label - a bit like you and me!!! I would
venture to add that even if people DID get to hear it on the radio and TV
etc, , because it doesn't have the melody of JMJ's hum-along tunes they
still wouldn't like it enough to buy it in droves! And in case you again
misinterpret - that's not to say JMJ's music is better or worse -
personally - I prefer the less commercial TD than the commercial JMJ any day.

Its time I came out and defended C.F.
Come on, OK I get a bit uncomfortable with some of the album sleeve notes
ie enchanting Nature and celestine prophecy (definitely to new age.
belongs in them shops where they sell black cat wind chimes etc), but the
music pretty uplifting. The london Concert is brilliant, a mixture of the
above mentioned uplifting (from Pacific coast highway/enchanting nature)
and some cool electronic sequences & sounds, the like of which we dont
seem to get to often these days from T.Dream, (although I have been
encouraged by some of the TD concert reviews and from listening to Dream
Mixes so I'm hoping to eat my words in November).

Yes, but I also can hear that crackling in the beginning of track 2 of my

Subject: alpha centauri
Really-From: slawlor
I just got finished examineing my copy of alpha centaui, and, I never
noticed all the drop outs before, or the crackle on the second song. The
drop outs seem to occur in the left and right channels at different
points. I've noticed a few of them when I had my first copy of this album
from the in the beginning box set. And I got my cd copy of this recording
from cdconnection in january of 96. Did castle reissue all the older
stuff after that date? Actually, I always thought the drop outs are
something i got used to, kind of like when they're adjusting the sequencer
or arpagiator in phaedra. By the way, it also sounds like the machine
they were using for all those arpagios got stuck in some kind of repetive
short loop when they first start it on Phaedra. These are the kinds of
things that make old T Dream classic, because i can always find something
new i never heard before in these recordings.

Thanks Gary! I will defend C.F. also. I enjoy all of Chris Franke's music
(and I really like Raven too). I really don't care if anybody on this list
buys his stuff or not. I'm not on this list to watch other people's pocket
books. But I will buy and trade for anything that Chris Franke has released
and ever will release, which means any CD, soundtrack, single, compilation,
various artists compilation, promos, collaborations, contributions to other
artists, releases with different covers, CD-Rs, etc... As a matter of fact,
I can't wait until we discuss for 3 months his works during D:Solo starting
up in June! Now how's that for NO more Chris Franke! Send your unwanted CF

Sorry to disappoint you, Phil, but most of the people I've enountered in
my travels that I've had an opportunity to utter those two magic words

can understand the general population never hearing of them, but I think

This is also how I reacted to 'Klemania' -- not really long tracks, just
long strings of short tunes without very good bridging. And the tunes
are very predicable. Which brings me to the reason for posting...
When I subscribed to tadream back in December I just listened to what I
listened to without really thinking much about WHY I liked what I
liked. I have about 700 CDs out of over 1500 that I've bought and sold
over the last 10 years. I cull out the weak ones, but I'd never thought
much about what made an album 'weak' to me. Well, I guess it's
predictability. JMJ became predictable. CF _is_ predictable. Michael
Garrison is predictable. I've stopped buying all of them and/or
recycled them all.
But predictability isn't all bad. You can't whistle along with an
unpredictable tune the first time out. Some folks are comforted by
familiar, predicable tunes (evidence: top 40). To each his/her own, eh?
Now, predictability doesn't mean repetition (though predictable tunes
generally _are_ repetitious). Trance inducing music is repetitious and
I love a good trance.
The kind of predictability I'm talking about is music that, while not
necessarily repetitious, one can hum along to even if you've never heard
it before. I have a friend who likes to show off by playing his synth
as an accompaniment to a previously unheard song. I played some TD and
he screwed it all up and got kinda mad about my choise of music.
Can anyone else relate to what I'm trying to say? Predictably -- Mark

I can certainly appreciate what you're saying about
predictability. You didn't say (but perhaps implied) that
TD are unpredictable, and that perhaps goes back to my
posting earlier today about their sudden changes in
direction between albums. This is also evident in some
albums within tracks themselves.
For a while TD did become predictable (I'm listening to
Zoning right now, which must be a candidate), but perhaps
with Dream Mixes, Goblin's Club and Oasis, that has changed
slightly.
I'd never thought of this type of predictability in music,
but it's always in my mind with books. I read an awful lot,
and find authors quickly fall into predicability. I quite
happily read Richard Laymon, Bentley Little, Shaun Hutson,
James Herbert and (even) Stephen King, although I think
they are predictable. They are even predictably
unpredictable, if you see what I mean.
But some authors are superbly unpredictable - Iain Banks
(who incidentally lives in Fife) is a master, IMO.
Anyway, sorry for the off-topic slant. I think I know what
you're saying Mark.

Really-From: GrafZeigen@a...
Well, I had the opportunity to watch FIRESTARTER again last weekend. It's
been a while since I've either seen the movie or listened to the ST cd. The
film is kind of entertaining...good for a rainy Saturday afternoon. But IMHO
it's not one of Steven King's best novels, not one of Michael Mann's best
films, nor one of TD's best soundtracks. I found it particularly annoying
how American TV (even on cable channel like the USA Network) can screw up a
wet-dream. Commercials every ten minutes and that penchant for running their
own promos over the ending credits...obliterating the TD music, of course.
Even so, the soundtrack was butchered and sparingly used in the film anyway.
I then listened to the ST cd and compared it with Miracle Mile. Miracle
Mile is far superior, indeed. So is Heartbreakers and several others! But,
like I said, good for a rainy day. Next time I'll rent the video, though!

Listening to the Don't Walk, Dream Now tape, I wonder why there

Think of this another way...what if the first TD albums you ever heard
were Turn of the Tides and Tyranny of Beauty? Like TD, The Orb has
experienced several lineup changes, and the groups' sound has also
changed. Go back...waaaay back. Try 'Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld'.
I also have an increased respect for them now that I've seen them live.
They toss most of the the gurgling and swooshing, and inject rhythm and
humour. I wish TD shows were as spontaneous!

(PAUL) HASLINGER (1986-1990) solos:
6 94 FUTURE PRIMITIVE
3 96 WORLD WITHOUT RULES
LIGHTWAVE
6 94 TYCHO BRAHE [pronounced 'TIE-co BRAY,' after an astronomer]
3 95 MUNDUS SUBTERRANEUS
While I agree that TYCHO BRAHE is a great ambient album, MUNDUS
SUBTERRANEUS is really annoying. In the CD's liner notes, Haslinger
says that he got a little carried away with elements of 'musique
concrete,' and he ain't kidding. Too dissonant, discordant, and jarring
to be ambient, at least to my mind.
Also, while I like FUTURE PRIMITIVE to some extent--especially
when 'in the right mood,' I find WORLD WITHOUT RULES forced and almost
entirely unappealing. For those who dislike the 'Indian feel' of
HYPERBOREA, stay away! There's a picture of Krishna in the center of
the quasi-mandala on the cover of the WORLD WITHOUT RULES CD for a
reason! (Hey, and I used to *be* a Hare Krishna devotee, too!)

The question is when you stopped buying them...you might have missed
something. Listening to Franke's Babylon 5 STs (both parts), for instance, I
cannot find any trace whatsoever of the hum-along predictability you
mentioned. In fact, and with the possible exception of the title tracks on the
Volume 2 album, these pieces are so complex that they remained
completely unpredictable to me even after I'd listened to them over and
over again. It is true that stylistically, they sound similar (the same goes
for
the majority of Jarre's albums, and for TD as well - say, the
Phaedra-Rubycon-Ricochet phase). But predictability, in my view, is not to
be confused with stylistic coherence within or between compositions. In the
end, the way in which he shapes his ideas into a meaningful whole, is part
of every composer's musical handwriting. Still, there should be room
enough for unpredictable turns - on a large scale, Jarre's U-turn back to his
pre-ZooLook style or Franke's recent orchestral efforts have certainly not
failed to surprise. On a more molecular level, the last 'Babylon 5 Vol.2'
piece is strikingly melody-based in comparison with the preceding, more
orchestral, compositions.
Neither in Franke's nor in Jarre's recent projects can I find any of the
predictability I encountered in late-Melrose/early-Seattle years TD. In fact, I
found myself listening to an entirely unknown track, predicting drum loops,
guitar solos, and sax parts...

Hmmm. Mine would go something more like this:
3 91 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY [namby-pamby light comtemp. newagey pap crap]
1 92 UNIVERSAL SOLDIER [boring soundtrack, played by others]
7 93 THE LONDON CONCERT [TD-like concert]
3 93 NEW MUSIC FOR FILMS, V. 1 [average soundtrack stuff]
9 95 KLEMANIA [great TD-like but more agressive]
2 94 ENCHANTING NATURE [it's still PCH]
7 95 BABYLON 5 (pre-release) [great soundtrack]
? 95 KLEMANIA [only have the earlier version]
8 95 BABYLON 5 (3 cuts more) [great soundtrack]
? 96 THE CELESTINE PROPHECY [can't bear to try it, given the BS topic]
8 97 BABYLON 5, VOLUME 2 [great soundtrack]
So I'd recommend Klemania, LondonConcert, and both B5 soundtracks.
Stay away from everything else. (Anyone want to buy my PCH? :-))

Seriously, Zoning is pretty good - definitely NOT the worst TD album ever as
some have said. I know I slagged it off a while back (saying only the first
track was any good), but it's really grown on me. That first
track is probably the best thing they've done in the 90's - a really great
'tune' and it's already made it onto my 90min 'Best of TD' tape for the car!

It's great to see such a positive message. Nice thoughts on comparing new

Really-From: 'Greg Heil'
Hello All..
I just bought this album as I was quite surprised to see it for sale at my
local music store. My opinions on this album are quite good, although I do
NOT think this album is any better than any recent TD albums.
This album proves to me how wonderful the analog synths can sound and the
quality that is capable there. I do like Jarre's sequenced tracks but it
falls in the techno hole too quickly--but still they are good. The melodys
just don't have as much feeling as say Logos or Tangram as we all know the
feeling TD got out of the warm brass-sounding synths.
I do say this album goes further back into the 70's than I've explored
into with TD. I do not have Jarre's earlier Oxygene 1-6 so I cannot
compare.
The music sounds fresh, full of texture, quite spacy in areas, and keeps a
good movement.
I would like to know where in these tracks the old synths were used? Can
anyone point out an area where the Mellotron or VCS3 synthesizer were used?
I'm just curious.
Thanks
Greg...

Really-From: AslanFan1@a...
Bring on the flames!
If I could have any cd come out this year from any artist, I'd like to hear a
solo cd from Jermome.
Look, we already know what Edgar does when he has complete creative control.
So many on this list seem to give Jerome no more credit than being good for
haircut potshots.
His first track off of Canyon Dreams is, in my opinion, the best on the disc.
Melrose is brilliant. (as is Ricochet, Logos, Tangram, White Eagle,
Underwater Sunlight, 220 Volts and The Dream Mixes).
And every disc he's been on has at least a couple of tracks that I think are
excellent and innovative, even if the cd as a whole wasn't their best effort.
SO let's see what he can do on his own! I'll bet a bunch of us would be
surprised. That's the top of Christmas wish list. And for the record, his
guitar solo on the 220V tour kicked butt. Edgar's was good, but Jerome's was
great. Pardon me while I reach for the fire extinguisher now...

Subject: Fabric Softeners and CDs
Really-From: Mark Filipak
I've always been careful handling CDs and try very hard to never let
the clear, non-label side touch anything. But sometimes a used CD has
to be cleaned. I've always used a non-ionic (read: not very good) soap
that can be bought at a commercial restaurant supply (cause it's cheap)
to clean the CD (using plenty of water to dilute it) followed by a
light drying using a clean, very high quality, all cotton dish towel --
the kind that do not leave lint behind.
All went well until I started to notice that certain CDs started to
skip randomly even though nothing appeared to be wrong with them.
Cleaning didn't seem to help. It was beginning to make me craz(y/ier).
To make a long story short, here's what I found.
My CDs were getting coated by fabric softener from that dish towel. I
couldn't see it until I tried cleaning a particularly reluctant CD with
Kodak lens cleaner.
I discovered the CD was covered by a thin film of what acted like
grease. This grease I believe was the fabric softener put into almost
all laundary detergents.
Even with lens cleaner, the best I could do was to get this film to
ball up (as viewed through a flourescent ring magnifier) which I could
then lift off with a clean lens tissue. I tried all sorts of
polycarbonate-friendly solvents, but I could find nothing that would
actually dissolve this crap.
If you have similarly reluctant CDs that skip, but not consistently,
then try cleaning the non-label side with lens cleaner and lens
tissues. Expect to go through a dozen or more tissues per CD.
Whatever you do, don't use ordinary tissues -- they will scratch the
hell of the CD. Big scratches are no problem since the laser can focus
past a big scratch. It's a field of little fine scratches and/or
surface coatings that create the big problems.
And don't ever 'clean' a CD with the tail of your tee-shirt. The
combination of body oil and fabric softener is almost impossible to get
off. And no matter how soft a piece of cotton feels, it will make fine
scratches when rubbed even moderately across the surface. Oh, BTW, the
white waffle material used by Case Logic is _really_ bad news.
Another public service from Mark Propellerhead (looking forward to
Krell music on little metal cylinders -- indestructable, non-magnetic,
don't have to be kept clean)

Well.. there can be mellowed out rooms where TD is played as a soothing
stress releiver. And maybe if we can get the sound equipment.. we all could
play TD across all the lands of the world! Where every person yearns no
more than to listen and work.. destructive people would listen to Tangram
and Logos.. and to solve all the global country problems, just use Exit!
Think about the possiblities! World Wide peace.. no more criminal acts!

FWIW, here's my feelings for where old instruments were used :-
JMJ never uses a VCS3 for melodic effects - it has a joystick instead
of a keyboard. It is used mainly for 'sweeping' and 'burbling'
sounds (I believe he has 6 of the buggers). Try sounds at :-
Oxy 7 at 1:00 (the chuffing white noise)
Oxy 7 all the large 'wave like' white noise whooshes.
Oxy 7 4:50 high sweepy 'bird chirps'
Oxy 7 5:10 stereo 'bubbles'
Oxy 7 8:00 'rain'
Basically, any abstract, non melodic sounds are produced by the VCS3(s).
He also has an AKS, which is basically a VCS3 with keyboard and
digital sequencer (VERY advanced for its time of design).
The mellotron is used mostly for the idiosyncratic strings and
choir sounds (Oxy 7 has a lot of choir).
Oxy 7 at 3:00 The strings play the melody
Oxy 8 at 1:28 The strings play the melody
Oxy 9 at 2:40 The strings play a falling melody in the
background
The Yamaha CS80 is a huge-sounding analogue polysynth.
Oxy 7 9:00 the big orchestral strings.
Oxy 9 3:20 the big 'Vangelis' brass sound.
I'm not sure where he uses a Theremin, but I'd guess
Oxy 7 10:50 the high melody line (but it might
just be a synth with portamento and
vibrato.
Oxy 9 3:50 possibly the high melody again.
Apparently, he's going to be playing Theremin live !
I'd love to know where he gets his 'guiro' sound on Oxy 8 (no, it's
not a preset on any Roland rhythm box).
Sorry for the off-TD post, but I just can't get enough of the
analogue sound. I'm currently writing music for a game here at
DMA and doing a 'Switched-On Bach' (every line is a monophonic
analogue sound). It sounds really fresh !

Right. I like both Orb and Orbital, and both for very different reasons.
I have almost all the stuff both have put out, too. All that Orb & Orbital
share are in my opinion the first 3 letters. The music itself bears almost
no similarity (apart from being crammed into the loose 'techno/ambient' genre).
Orb seem to rely heavily on samples and concentrate less on the melodic
structure (which is not to say it doesn't exist, mind you) whereas Orbital
goes for the melody and rhythm and not that much for samples. I can see why
Orbital has more appeal to a random TD-fan, a very good example can be
found on their latest album 'In Sides', the second part of the last
track (actually 2 tracks) 'Out There Somewhere?' has a very nice sequencer/
arpeggiator beginning. For a casual TD-fan I'd suggest U.F.Orb from Orb
and either Brown album (second untitled album) or In Sides from Orbital.

Thanks for answering my question! Jarre must really be working to use all
those instruments in a single track. I guess when a person imagines music..
they know their instruments pretty well..
I think the total freedom of the digital sampler and keyboard has destroyed
the creativity of many artists.. as anything is possible.. and I believe it
was technology that drove TD into newer and more ambitious sounds. Now
where do we start? Why so complex has the music become? Has the digital age
deadened us to the thrill of new sounds? I would say Edgar is not limited
to the technology... but I would say it was his breaking the limits of
early technology that made TD stand out. It may well be the digital age of
synthesized creation that is too wide open for artists to comprehend.. as
with all other forms of music.. there are limitations in the sounds
produced. Now you have a machine that can make people lazy--deter
creativity--not force musicians to create new sounds.
Why did the analouge sounds of past become mainstays on many digital
keyboards and MIDI stations? They had personality and a sound people had
become accustomed to. I have yet to hear a digital sound other than the
'orchestra hit' that has stuck out as so many other older sounds have.

Does this mean I can come out again? I said Zoning was great six months ago

Agreed. I like Orbital much more than the Orb, but Orb's music is
interesting and enjoyable when I'm in the right mood.
One of the things I like most about Orbital is the drums (take note,
those of you who hate Jerome's drumming!). With most techno-ish
music, the drums are there, but have no real identity and provide
nothing new or different in the way of sound or rhythm. With Orbital,
they are a key element of the music ('The Girl With the Sun in her
Head' and 'Forever' come to mind).
I'll concur with jhsa's suggestion of 'In Sides' as a good Orbital
purchase. Probably their best overall album. More techno than TD
will probably ever be, but there are some TDish elements, and a lot of
good electronic music. Check it out!

I gave Cyclone a listen the other day, and I still love it! This is the TD I
really came to know and love in the first place. Sure it's a little
different but what's wrong with that?
I would agree that it would be just as good without the lyrics...they seem a
little dated and kind of 'Hippy-Dippy' by todays standards, but every group
was kind of 'Hippy-Dippy' back then. I like the nostalgic feel of this
album!

That's what a large part of what GoldTri is FOR... I mean, there are so
many unknown and sort-of-known brillant artists out there who are doing a
fantastic job of carrying on this kind of musical tradition. Part of the
task of the GoldTri members is to find those artists and support them...
thus ourselves helping carry that tradition further.
What do we need to complain about TD not doing it anymore? They've DONE
their job in their vintage days, and that's to inspire the music to start
with! That task is complete; Franke-era TD has already accomplished their
much-needed role in emusic history. They've done their work already of
mapping and carving out this new road in the musical landscape.
We've been living on that road and we love where it goes... now it's our
job to us to roll up our sleeves and *pave* it.

What was Edgar's last solo effort that contained new, original material?
I wonder if the reason Ed hasn't done any solo stuff in a while is
because TD is totally his band now, and he has complete control without
compromising with other artists.
I agree, though, a Jerome solo would be interesting.

Yes, we're going to sub to GoldTri ASAP.
I think a better subject for discussion might be why some British EM fans
are so ready to whinge on about the lack of good EM concerts and venues
meanwhile EMMA have a bugger of a job filling the first two rows of the
concert hall. I'm not having a go at anyone on the list in particular but
it makes ya wanna puke when you realise just how much effort has gone into
this event only to find so few people apparently interested in attending.
EMMA needs people to support it. Without support from EM fans everywhere,
EMMA will die! Some fans are coming from as far away as Japan, Germany, the
US etc just to be there...Yes, I know it's difficult for some of you to
turn up especially since, for the majority of digest readers, EMMA means
travelling to another country and spending a huge amount of money. But when
Jarre sells out Birmingham NEC you gotta ask yorself where the audience for
our home grown EM bands has gone... You can't blame it all on the media for
not publicising the damned event. You can blame the apathy of some fans
though.
Anyway, back to the treadmill...

To be more specific, the Schmoelling years were consistant.
The Haslinger years were repetitive.

Anyone else agree?
If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 10 TD albums,
what would they be?
My vote:
Phaedra, Rubycon, Force Majeure, Stratosfear, Pergamon 2CD*,
Logos 2CD*, Poland 2CD, Miracle Mile, 220 Volt, Dream Mixes 2CD.
*albums not officially released and not presently available (although I hear
people are working on making these happen!) Don't ask me for them!

What do you mean rumored?
There are two separate Dream Mixes releases:
Dream Mixes (US release by Miramar) which has 10 tracks, 6 are remixes from
220 Volt, Turn of the Tides, and Tyranny of Beauty.
Dream Mixes 2CD (Austrian release by TDI) with the same first disc as Dream
Mixes and then disc two has two radio edits of 2 tracks on 'mixes, 2
re-remixes of _those_ tracks and two new godawful (oops, so much for being
unbiased) tracks Iowa and Sojus.
I've got both of them.

*gasp* I think Sojus deserved to be on the regular release! Okay, just

I think you are making a mistake with Night of the Running Man and the
B5 scores. I have all of Chris' cds and while I agree that U. soldier and
music for films are quite boring (even as far as orchestral goes) I think
that both B5 cds should be viewed as one. It just happens to be that the
best music is on the first cd. Night of the Running Man is some of the
best non-TD Franke I've heard so far (very much in the B5 vein but
better in my opinion)....but ignorance is bliss. If you haven't heard
it...you might be missing out. I also highly recommend The London Concert
and Klemania. See? As with almost all composers it's a hit and miss
thing. VERY few composers can be consistantly amazing. I know of only
one....and that would be Mark Shreeve.

Even there, I wouldn't necessarily agree. It is true that the impression of the
second CD is spoilt because the filled-in season titles make it appear very
disjointed. Hence I'd like to take your recommendation even further by
suggesting to regard the two CDs as a single entity, _skipping_ the titles
and regarding them as 'Single Edits' or the like. In this way, the whole thing
becomes much more coherent, and the excellent music contained on the
second CD can be appreciated in all its dynamic beauty - without the
disturbing title tracks, which necessarily (as titles) are merely short melodic
fragments played at maximum volume...
Personally, I like 'Z'Ha'Dum' and 'Voices of Authority' in particular.
Dennis.

Actually I consider his music to be quite superior to TD's for two very
simple reasons.
1. He uses ROCK percussion, thick analog voices and rockin guitars verses
TD's flat electronic drums and fm synth voices (can we say...EDGAR!
ENOUGH WITH THE FM GUITAR VOICE FROM TREASURE OF INNOCENCE!). Quite
simply, as many have stated before, he is a wall of sound.
2. His music carries structured melody whereas TD's melody often wanders
aimlessy (I am pretty much referring to the current TD but also including
some past as well).
Don't get me wrong. I like a lot of TD. But consistency is the key...and
Mark has delivered with every release where TD has made me throw up and
cry with some of their bad music (try Goblin's Club...yuk!). If you
haven't heard the library disks you are missing out but if you don't like
Legion or Crash Head (his two best I feel) then you won't like anything
he's done probably. Shreeve is very aggressive music and if it's softer
new age, repetitive boring sequences or droning sonic wall paper you
want...definately stay away from Shreeve.

Can anyone update my knowledge. Seems to me that there were two,
separate and different versions of this album by C.Franke. One is the
commercial release we are all familiar with -- picture of Chris in front
of a big rack of equipment I think -- or maybe two pictures, one of
Chris and one of equipment -- in a sort of space-age room (his
studio?). The other was ... well, you tell me please.

Weakness and predictability are not synonimous. Anyone familiar
with the music of Mozart, Stravinsky, Bach, Rachmaninoff, Couperin,
Thelonious Monk, Haydn, Gershwin, Scott Joplin, etc. can usually identify
other works of the same composer, just from hearing a phrase or two of a
piece that they have never heard before. This doesn't mean it is weak.
Likewise, just because you can hum along with a Beethoven or Mahler Symphony
doesn't mean _it_ is weak.
Sure, much of CF's London Concert is repeat stuff. It is redone
and performed to the maximum capability of the equipment and the artists in a
live arena. Klemania is a compilation of some fan recordings, so we can't
really expect fresh new never before heard, stretched out jams here, now can
we?
'Celestine Prophecy' _is_ brilliant! Even the pop vocals
exceptionally well done provided you don't examine the wordage too closely.
The Babylon recordings are masterpieces of composition as well. These three
recordings and the live London concert are prime examples of Franke's
expertese. They contain more of a concentration of his compositional
capabilities than you can find available from any other single artist on four
discs.
Is it any wonder that the most frequently favored period of
Tangerine Dream work is in the same time frame when Chris Franke was a
member?

All respect to you Morgan, but 'lost' is very subjective. That's okay,
but when I started this thread about predictability it seemed to me that
I had caught on to something.
Some people like a certain amount of predictability in their music and
some don't. Sometimes predictability is a plus for certain moods,
sometimes it's an irritation. Likewise, unpredictability can be a plus
for certain other moods, and an irritation at other times. Some of TD's
output is predictable but the vast majority of it is not, IMHO.
There is two sides to predictabililty of course. One sort of
predictability comes with familiarity. For example, Frank Zappa's music
was never predictable to people who were not familiar with it but to an
FZ fan, it had a bizarre predictability. Likewise, Paul's keyboard
treatments were predictable only to someone who was very familiar with
the band and with Paul. I'd like to call this type of predictability,
'familiarity.' Seems rather obvious, but I just want to distinguish
this type of predictability from what comes next.
The other type of predictability is what I will call
'genre-predictability.' This is the 'new age' sound, or the 'trite'
sound that to me, characterizes Chris' solo work, and Linda's sax, and
most of Jerome's drumming. Let me give some specific examples. I have
Johannes' latest album, 'Songs No Words.' It's totally predictable, but
it has no genre associated with it and I find it to be refreshing (and
fresh) music. Chris' 'Pacific Coast Highway' on the other hand, has
new-age-predictability that I find boring. Yanni has this same sort of
genre-predictability, and so does an awful lot of later JMJ. To many
people, this genre-predictability is _why_ they buy it. I think we can
all agree that all this music is 'good' music from a technical
standpoint. But the reason I don't like it is a personal thing. I
don't think Yanni or John Tesh is 'bad,' just that they have a certain
genre-predictability I find annoying or boring.
I just finished a couple of tapes for Grant. One is a sampling of Loop
Guru, and the other, Banco de Gaia. Genre: ethno-techno.
Genre-predictability: not yet -- either the genre is too new or I
haven't been exposed to it long enough to find it predictable (read:
familiar), but the progression of sounds and melodies are, to me,
entirely new and novel. On the other hand, Larry Smith recently sent me
a tape of some of Michael Garrison's latter output. I found a lot of it
to be .... (ready for this?) 'rock-n-roll turnaround' or variations of
basic rock-n-roll themes. Genre-predictability: very high. Does this
make Michael Garrison's work 'bad?' No. Does it make it boring? To
me, yes.
I think genre-predictability can be a value-neutral description of the
style of a piece of music. If you can readily identify the genre of a
piece of music, then the odds are that it has genre-predictability. Now
here's where to two types of predictability come together. In the
context of music marketing, genre-predictability can translate to
instant familiarity. Instant familiarity _means_ popularity within a
well established genre, like 'new age.' And of course, we all know what
popularity means in the music business -- $$$$.
And finally, there are the artists that have the talent or awareness or
independence or whatever, to use the hallmark sounds of a particular
genre in new and novel ways -- the boarderline genre musicians. This
music has enough genre-predictability to be recognizable and marketable
to a specific audience, but with novel treatments that set it apart form
'the rest.' This is precisely where I think TD is. Sometimes an album
will use too much genre-specific sounds leading some on this list to
reject it. That's okay and is merely a statement of preference, just as
I have made such statements about Chris Franke. In TD's case, and in
Chris' case, we're dealing with the pioneers of much of the
genre-predictable sound that gets overused sometimes, IMHO, so the
picture gets somewhat muddied. To Edgar and Chris, their music is just
their music. I'm sure they don't think of it as _any_ particular
genre. In fact, I think Edgar wisely rejects genrefication.
Now here's where the rubber hits the road. Does John Tesh _try_ to
achieve a certain sound he thinks will be popular? IMHO, yes. Does
Michael Garrison _try_ to use familiar rock-n-roll themes to lend his
music a certain 'legitimacy' in the ear of the general public? IMHO,
yes. Does Edgar 'use' new-agey sounds in an attempt to 'be popular?'
This is very hard to judge as many of those sounds are just his sounds
and have been attached to a genre that he helped to create. And now the
big question: does Chris 'use' new-agey sounds in an attempt to 'be
popular?' In my opinion, yes. Case in point: 'Enchanting Nature.'
I'm sure that in our personal lives we've all known people who _try_ to
be popular. Usually this leads to disrespect -- the feeling that this
person is not being 'genuine.' (Is everyone still with me?) I think
this is closely related to some people's feelings about Edgar and
Chris. I have tended to reserve judgement about Chris precisely because
he was the originator of many of what have become genre-predictable
musical treatments. so I try to resist ascribing something like
'Enchanting Nature' to a lack of integrity or a desire to be merely
popular (and rich?).
If this is hard to pin down for Chris, it's even harder to pin down for
Edgar -- at least in my mind. Sure there's 'Rockoon' and sure there's
'Dream Mixes,' but these albums are, to my ears, treatments around the
boarders of genres -- TD variations on themes. Contrast these albums
with David Bowie's latest (the name of which I can't recall). To me,
Bowie's latest album is a totally transparent attempt to hijack techno.
But to a lot of 'the public,' adding Bowie's voice to techno-predictable
sounds gives the whole enterprise 'familiarity' and means that techno
'has arrived.' To me, it means Bowie wants to make more money as I
don't hear any new expression of art coming from him -- he's not adding
anything that I can hear coming from his heart. Do I have less respect
for DB because of it? To be honest, yes. Have I heard the same sort of
bandwagon jumpping sounds from Edgar? To be honest, no. And Chris?
Sorry to say that in my opinion, yes.
Though I've heard an awful lot of new-age-predictable tunes on Chris'
albums, I'm still really trying to be open minded about him and I still
have a lot of respect for him. I've been told that 'B5' and 'B5-VfE'
are really true and unique expressions of Chris' talents and
creativity. I don't watch television and have never seen Babylon 5, so
I don't have any experience with this music. But if anyone would like
to make a sampler trade tape for me, I'm sure I can make a tape that
will have some new and unique stuff to exchange for it.
Sorry to be so long winded about this post, but I couldn't figure out
any other way to get my ideas across. 'Familiarity' and
'genre-predictability' are not unique ideas, but I think they may be
useful in describing both the similarities and the differences between
albums and styles in a non-judgemental way. I wonder if any others on
this list think of music in these terms?
Regards to All -- Mark
PS: In re-reading this, it occurs to me that some pioneering artists
have, in a sense, overstayed their welcome -- they've nearly
single-handedly defined a genre (or sub-genre) and then drove it into
the ground without further evolution. This is where JMJ is to me, but I
have to confess that I stopped buying JMJ sometime after either
'Zoolook' or the album with all the spotlights on it (can't remember the
name -- a live album perhaps?). The same expresses my opinions of Mike
Oldfield and Vangelis. Have they done this to 'cash in' on their
popularity? I'm saddened to say that IMHO, yes. It seems to me that no
matter what can and is said about Edgar, he's definitely not guilty of
'overstaying his welcome' and if anything, has changed too much for some
peoples' tastes -- but this is his version of consistency, a consistency
I understand and appreciate. I know that in the past my camparisons of
Edgar and Klaus have left some people scratching their heads. Klaus is
less consistent to me because he will go in a straight line for a while
and then jump discontinuously to something totally different -- opera,
for instance. Edgar zig-zags around but has never been discontinuous,
IMHO. But I understand both Edgar and Klaus, I think that both have
very high integrity, and I enjoy them both immensely.

Thoughts of War was obviously more experimental (and one of his first
albums). If you'll note that after Thoughts, he moved forward profoundly,
unlike some other musicians (cough cough Klaus!!) who find a safe form of
music and stay there, even to this day.
Granted Mark's Red Shift is a remake of this classic style, but with
updated voices and thicker analog sound (which the others can't seem to
handle). It sounds like Rubycon or Phaedra 1997. It's different. If you
like Rubycon...you'll love Shreeve before Assassin. If you like F/F/S T.
Dream, Andy Pickford, or Jarre then you'll love Shreeve after Thoughts Of
War. Personally, I find TOW interesting..but dull in comparison to his
later releases. I like the Shreeve I can blast through my car stereo and
overpower the guy next to me in the VW blasting Alanis
Morissette....er...heh..or Spice Girls. Nothing TD has ever produced has
even come close to the power of the Shreevester.

There are two versions of this. I have a different version than a friend
of mine. Mine I got originally from Eurock when it was ONLY offered
through the mail. This version is mixed differently than the one that
Sonic Images released months later. Go figure. The inserts are the
same...but I'll examine my friends disk more closely when I get the
chance to make sure.

Why disqualify the soundtracks, Larry? 'Zoning' is solo, and it's

To me they are. Predictability is the quality that makes them weak in
my mind. But this is purely my personal reaction as I don't like
predictable music. But I think that rather than call them 'weak' -- a
matter of taste -- I'd rather call them 'predictable' -- something I
think we can all agree on -- and leave the value judgements up to each
individual person. If you don't like the word 'predictable,' then try
'familiar' as in this context, I think they are synonimous. Hope this
clarifies my values in your mind. Regards to All -- Mark

Thanks Dano. Hmmm.... maybe there are three versions. Specifically,
the version I'm thinking of buying is a numbered, limited edition with

To make things more complicated.
I bought my version at The Klem-festival with an insert
saying Promotional Edition, Number 202 and an autograph
from Chris at the front.
At the normal front-layout the letter A is in red, with the
special insert this A is enlarged and pink and Klemania is
written in a sort of japanese style.

I believe that I can apply predictability more to the visual arts than to
music. But in a sense, I truly believe the unpredictability comes in the
idea or Surrealism. Yes, I know that sounds strange, but I do believe that
when you combine many elements that don't fit together into a composition
that seeminly fits, it's based upon surrealism. Some poeple might disagree
with me, but as we all know Edgar's influence from Salvador Dali who said:
'Anything's possible.' which Edgar took on to his musical career.
Certainally, the idea is not as present in current albums, but any good
artist will explore outwards, and an especially good artist will not stick
with what's popular or made him/her popular.
In using the ever so popular Tangram as an example, I notice off the bat
that Edgar and Co. have masterfully taken sounds that do not fit together
and made them work wonderfully! It's all about transitions between sections
and never really a central theme to hold the artist down. Goblin's Club can
be accused of this, but it's my personal opinion that this was done to give
possible direction to the almost limitless possibilites of digital musical
devices. I also believe that is why TD has stuck to many familiar sounds as
Jerome's drumming and Linda's sax are. Now.. 'Anything's possible' as far
as music goes--I'm waiting for TD to prove this in today's age. Talk about
unpredicability!

Subject: Predictable Music
Really-From: Mark Filipak
I know that most of you have gotten my point, but I'd like to pursue
this 'predictability' thing just a little bit further and possibly
clarify it more.
I'm old enough to remember when the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were
dueling it out for the hearts and minds of America. After 1969, The
Rolling Stones became like a public utility -- want The Rolling Stones?
Turn on a radio, to almost any station, and (presto!): The Rolling
Stones. More so than Pink Floyd, more so than Led Zeppelin, more so
than Roxy Music, the music industry was built around The Rolling
Stones. Before 1969, The Beatles were in an even stronger position. I
can remember the time when The Beatles had seven or eight singles in the
top ten at the same time -- they litterally 'owned' the radio.
But I never bought a Rolling Stones album or single while I bought
everything from the Beatles starting with 'Rubber Soul.' Why the
difference? Predicability. The Stones' songs, most of which I dearly
loved, were interchangable to me. But The Beatles, especailly starting
with 'Rubber Soul,' continuously worked along the boarders of what I was
comfortable with -- what was 'familiar' -- and what I found challenging
and 'unfamiliar.' Some might say that The Stones failed to grow.
Others might say that The Stones fully developed their particular style
of rhythm and blues. I see those two positions as two sides of the same
coin -- sort of a zen viewpoint I guess. Perhaps in my old age I'll buy
a 'Best of' The Rolling Stones to reminisce to, but I doubt it. It's
just not my nature to be comfortable.
So there's TD with Chris Franke, TD without Chris Franke, and Chris
Franke without TD -- three sides of the same coin to me. I happen to
prefer TD with Chris Franke. But that was then, and IMHO, TD didn't
turn to jello after Chris left. That I have liked (in the context of
predictability / unpredictability) what TD-sans-CF has done more than
what CF-sans-TD has done is just my personal reaction. I guess it's
based almost solely on predictability. I can certainly understand why
someone would see it the other way around.
I've never done so much navel gazing about music before. I just hope
that the list can relate to what I've been writing.

Sure, although I haven't got/heard the other versions,
so I can't compare them with those.
Track 1: Scattered thoughts of a Canyon Flight 22:05
Track 2: Inside the Morphing Space 20:07
Track 3: Silent Waves 4:10
The first track begins like The London Concert, but then becomes a
techno-like song with some interesting sequencer-lines.
After that a quiet piece followed by a good sequencer-line
Track 2 begins very good with great sequencer-parts, very much in
the TD-tradition but after that there are really, really! 2 BAD parts which
sounds wwaaayy too commercial and a bad one too.
It's really a shame because it could have been a great track.
In track 3 there isn't much happening. Just a few bad seq.parts
You always see Chris in front of a modular synth, but I'm wondering
if he ever used one on his latest releases.

I think that a different distinction is in order, and I'll try to explain why.
>All respect to you Morgan, but 'lost' is very subjective.
It's certainly a subjective judgement. But taking into account your own
explanations of familiarity and predictability, isn't that very concept
subjective (and therefore, _not_ non-judgemental at all)? After all, to be able
to perceive composers and even genres as predictable, you have to be
exposed to them for long enough to know them and be familiar with them -
to other people who haven't had that exposition, the music will be
completely unpredictable.

This is where I think the 'genre-predictability' argument doesn't work. We
can discuss at length in a separate thread to what extent New Age is trite,
and Chris's work is trite, and Chris's work is New Age, but that's a slightly
different topic. However, with Linda's sax and Jerome's drumming,
genre-predictability cannot be a criterion, as they are not confined to a
given genre or even a given song. They could imaginably be displaced into
a different musical context, and even an entirely different genre. And the
very fact that they _have_ been displaced into all sorts of contexts on some
of the 1990s TD albums and have been used over and over again, makes
them musically predictable, but certainly not genre-predictable.
>Likewise, Paul's keyboard
>treatments were predictable only to someone who was very familiar with
>the band and with Paul.
This is where a basic problem about how we understand the music of TD
comes in. On the one hand, despite various efforts to attract a broader
scope of people, they should know very well that the people who buy their
music are their fans. In other words, someone buying a new TD album is
quite likely to also have the last one and the one before that, and the one
before that...
On the one hand, then, their music should, ideally, be _unpredictable_ as
that is precisely the quality that seems to attract most people to TD, the
quality that they like to emphasise themselves (see Exit sleeve notes), and
the quality that distinguishes them from any other group.
On the other hand, without a certain amount of predictability, nobody would
bother to follow a group. If an album were totally unpredictive of its
successor, who would take the risk of buying it? And after all, how could
anyone say that he/she likes TDs music when 'TDs music' is just a hollow
term due to the total absence of any kind of predictability.
Therefore, I think that a more adequate distinction to make than the
familiarity/genre prdictability one, is one between stylistic and musical
predictability.
Stylistic predictability is the reason why a given group or musical style can
have followers at all. It is the set of attributes that constitutes a
'personality'
or 'theory' that enables people to form their judgements and decide whether
they like or dislike the music. Still, internally, there can be a lot of
_musical_ unpredictability. I think that Free Jazz is a good example here. It
is founded on an aspiration to be completely unpredictable in musical
terms; but still, if the genre didn't have a certain distinguished stylistic
character, we wouldn't be able to even talk about 'Free Jazz' at all. As
unpredictable as it internally is, in comparison with other musical styles,
we still know what to expect.
This is in line with what was said on the list before about a number of
classical composers. They were stylistically predictable in that Bach
invariably sounds like Bach, and Mozart can instantly be recognised as
Mozart. But in terms of individual musical structures, they were rather
unpredictable
>I'm sure that in our personal lives we've all known people who _try_ to
>be popular. Usually this leads to disrespect -- the feeling that this

I know that you used that word in a different context, but I think it sums up
the point I made earlier. Would we still regard TD as _genuine_ if it were no
longer recognisable as TD? Certainly not. In other words, we _want_ them
to be stylistically predictable. Do we accept it when they get musically
predictable (you mentioned Jerome's drums before; the notorious
harpsichord sample is another example)? Most of us don't. Musical
unpredictability, then, seems to be part of the style we all expect from TD,
and hence, it is an element of the stylistic predictability that ought to
constitute the 'ideal' TD.

The reason Force Majeure is hard to find is because Griffin music, the label
that put it out, is now defunct. Cyclone was another one of these titles that
are now missing in action. Hopefully they will be re-released on a different
label, but I dont know when.

Can anyone who has the various versions comment? I'd heard that there
was a version of 'Klemania' that was nothing like the commercial
release, but what Marcel describes here does sound like the commercial

Hi Greg. The only version of 'Force Majeure' I've been able to find is
the Cema/Griffin version, catalog # GCD-350-2. Cema is a division of
Capitol Records so this shouldn't be too hard to find. I can buy it for
you if you can't get it. Hope this helps, and cheers -- Mark

Really-From: thesmitter@j... (Larry E Smith)
I excluded Zoning because (without knowing for sure) I assumed Jerome was
also involved since it is credited to TD. Also - and don't be offended
all soundtrack lovers - in my VERY humble opinion, I have a hard time
viewing soundtracks as legimate new music which is comparable to studio
efforts. There are some TD soundtracks which are fairly good but on the
whole I think they are of a lower quality than the studio or live
releases. The music usually consists of many cuts of shorter length
which I don't care for (I am one who likes the lengthy cuts of the
early/mid period TD). I think more effort is made on the studio releases
(whether it's TD, EF or CF). The soundtracks usually sound like they were
thrown together quickly - ideas that are cut off after a couple of
minutes instead of being allowed to pan out. Technically I am wrong, but
as I said earlier I choose to only consider studio releases. Someone else
can comment on post Pinnacles soundtracks. I just don't find the two
comparable - again IMVHO.

Well, the Logos 2CD may happen if and when Logotypes falls in my lap; which
hopefully will after I complete the Harrogate project in 2 weeks (promise!).
First, I have to publicly apologize for my delays in getting the 1986
Harrogate concert out onto a double-CD. Someone slap me a couple times so
I'll get working faster on it. The music is all in the computer and I'm
doing digital stuff to it to do a bit of cleaning. It's definately a keeper,
not only for their awesome version of Stratosfear, but over 42 minutes of
unreleased music; a decent bit of it being from 'Legend'! (and of course,
yet another, faster version of Dominion!)
Please! This disc is NOT yet available! Don't e-mail me unless you have some
photographs of the concert or any information i could put in the liner
notes, because I need those for the cover!
-----------------
The Logos 2CD project
-----------------
I've got a fantape of the show, so I have a roadmap on how to get as close
to the actual show as possible. But the quality is crap. If the Logotypes CD
contains as much music as I hope it does (including 3 mins of Tangent and
White Eagle, which were both played at Logos, no kidding), then I could put
together a 2CD version of the entire Logos, by digitizing Logotypes and the
original Logos release and doing a bit of editing. Here's the cool bit.
Since I am a TD nut and most everyone on the list is, I'm willing to sell it
at a loss for $35.
Now, what would be cool is if I could get a bit of unreleased music from
81-83 that sounds JUST AS GOOD as Logos but, well, is unreleased, and slap
it on the end of the disc just for laughs. Now that would be something
spiffy! Because there would be something like 30 minutes of empty space
across the two discs. actually, does anyone have a really good fantape of
the very beginning of part 2 of Logos, including audience noise, etc? I
could edit this in on the beginning disc 2. Otherwise, it will just fade
into time index 5:30 on the original Logos release. My fantape starts
rolling about five minutes into set 2 of the concert, also the guitar is
inexplicably different, maybe my 'set 2' wasn't really recorded in London,
but another of the '82 shows.
As far as Pergamon/Quixochette, the last mini-FAQ stated that someone's
working on making a 2CD of a good fantape of the whole darn show, if not,
editing a few fantapes (plural!) and doing a bit of editing. I don't have
any source material for this project, I'm just restating someone else's deal.

A track from my CD on a compilation CD, all e-music (June)
Working on my second CD (this summer/fall I hope)
KLEM-festival with performances from Radio Massacre International
and others !must be there! (October)
Lots of interesting contacts on this list!
I hope the second half of 1997 will be as exciting as the first one!
As far as I'm concerned this year is the best year for e-music!

Pergamon and Tangram? It's funny how much time I've spend thinking about
these two discs. Which one's better... does it matter... Wow, Schmoelling's
good... I have to say (and this is very subjective, as you all know), I
simply like Pergamon because it's live and actually because it's a little
*less* developed and refined. Just like I prefer the live White Eagle played
during Logos instead of the studio version, maybe it's because my fantape is
so echo-ey :)
Of course, nothing with TD is concrete, except they are not named after a
Beatles song! Some people love Destination Berlin to death.... well, maybe
not. But the Pergamon/Tangram relationship is very rare, perhaps the only
other releases that have a similar 'replaying and sounding different' are
Encore (stratosfear/richochet) and Quinoa (two bunch palms).
Any one prefer Pergamon to Tangram? Vice versa?

A good question! As far as I know, the final 12 minute song has yet to
be mailed. Right now, we all just have our one minute segments, and
although a suggestion was made to mail them to someone with a CD recorder
for compilation, lines on communication are hard to keep going. From what
I've heard of the piece, it's pretty standard 90s TD.

Wow! That's quite an analysis! Now I'm going to do what I'm famous for!
I like 220 Volt, Turn of the Tides, Dream Mixes, Miracle Mile, and
Livemiles. But yet, they are too melodic in a way, at least for me.

I think you're missing a point here: B5v2 is a soundtrack (B5 is a
soundtrack too, but arranged in a way that gets transformed in a more
'standard' [for lack of a better term] album), so the music must be
taken as a support for what you're seeing on TV. If you haven't seen B5,
then the music you hear doesn't carry the meaning it has for the people
that watches the show (like me). Example: the one passage described by a
friend of mine as 'sort of mean-moody music' qualifies to me as
'terrifying', but that's because it corresponds to the moment when the
Shadow Vessel awakens in _Messages From Earth_.
And, sure, I *LOVE* having the opening themes for each season. Remember,
it's a soundtrack...

Actually, Gabe...perhaps those of us on this side of the pond can put a

Subject: Enigma vs. TD & Vangelis
Really-From: Pawel Jachowicz
Dear TD fans,
I am not sure whether anyone else has noticed how blatantly similar
TD's 'At Darwin's Motel' from Goblins' Club is to Enigma's 'The Child
in Us' from Le Roi est Mort, Vive le Roi. After careful listening, it
appears to me that Enigma has copied the woman's singing from TD.
(Goblins' Club was released before Le Roi est Mort, I think) There is
no mention of TD on Enigma's CD and it seems to me that, outside of a
different rhythm, the singing is identical, being shorter in the TD
version. Have they collaborated on this? Has anyone else noticed this?
Another HUGE SIMILARITY seems to exist between Enigma MCMXC and
Aphoride Child's '666' released over 20 years before. Note the woman's
singing again. It is practically identical. No mention of Vangelis or
his band appears on Enigma's CD sleeve either.

When I was a few hundred miles out of of the way and into Pheonix, I went
to a Tower Records store and saw a Virgin release of Force Majuere with an
entirely new album cover. Since I had only money to get one CD, I choose
Hyperborea..
Can anyone confirm this? The album cover is computer generated and looks
like waves and a landscape. There was no sticker saying SBM on the front,
but I did believe it said it on the back. I believe the re-issue date was
1994.
I had wished I picked this up as well!

This was mentioned the day that the Enigma CD was released. While it
would be nice to think that this is a case of TD getting ripped off, the
CDs were released so close to one another that I can only speculate that
the the Froese's and Mr. Cretu were just exposed to the same vocal sample.
I believe that the source song is credited on the Enigma sleeve.

Thanks Dennis. I found your comments really enlightening.
Synopsis: About halfway through this, Dennis really hits the nail on the
head by elaborating on my simple concept of predicability and dividing
it into two parts: stylistic predictability and musical predicability.
This goes a long way towards clarifying what borderline innovation is
all
about and how TD can be both familiar and unpredictable at the same
time. His explanation will help me to relate TD to non-addicts.
Anyone not interested in such symantics can delete of course but Dennis'

Theoretically true but I think we can assume a common point of reference
in today's world. I would rather not get bogged down in a discussion
whether an objective reality exists. Everything is subjective, but if
we start from that premise, we'll get nowhere. My point was not
subjectivity, but predictability.

TD may not be genre-predictable, but Linda's sax playing sure was.
Which genre? Adult comtemporary, soft jazz -- hell I don't know. Point
is, one could hum along with Linda having never heard the piece before.

If I understand you correctly, the 'recognizable' part is the stylistic
predictability while the 'novel treatments' part is the musical
unpredictability. I think that just about perfectly describes what I
find interesting and engaging in the music I choose. This really is a
powerful model.

Such clear headed thinking bring tears to my eyes. Gotta hand it to you
Dennis, this is a wonderful way to look at music. A genre must have
stylistic predictability to be recognizable as a genre. A work of music
within that genre can have musical predicability or not depending upon
the objectives of the musician. I suppose this would apply to all art
-- from black velvet Elvis and little girls with big eyes to religious
icons in jars of urine.
I also agree that most of us don't appreciate TD when they're musically
predictable, but clearly some of us do. I think the confusion produced
by this difference in tastes has been much-misunderstood on this list.
I have claimed not to like musical predicability, but I guess the
evidence exposes the fact that I must have moods in which I _do_ seek
musical predicability -- I listen to and appreciate all TD, just
different albums at different times. I guess I'm more the slave to my
moods than I would have previously admitted. But that's okay with me as
I really think it's all sides of the same coin.
Thanks Dennis. Regards -- Mark

Thanks to all of you who participated in this thread, and to all who
patiently let it happen. Graig related it to books (I'll have to check
out Iain Banks, Graig) and I got nice support from others -- thanks
folks. But Dennis tied it all together very nicely -- much thanks
Dennis. I've been struggling with the third revision to the
'Introduction to Tangerine Dream' and Dennis' supurb vision will help
make it both easier to write and easier to read and understand.
Dennis' style predictability fits in quite nicely with my view of TD's
periods (soundscapes, symphonies, suites, concepts, and new age -- was
'TD-lite' but the truth is now unavoidable, IMHO) and will further help
to explain the albums that 'fit' and the albums that don't 'fit' --
basically, the ones that don't fit are out of style, or at least were
out of style at the time of their release. Perhaps the more concise
term to use here is 'stylistic consistency.'
Musical predictability (or just predictability, for short) is really a
new measure I can apply and it will be interesting to see how this
correlates with the consensus that has emerged from the 'D:' topic
discussions. The objective is to provide a roadmap for novice
TD-addicts wishing to enhance their highs without bankrupting themselves
in the process, and to present the roadmap in a value-neutral manner.

It's great to see such a positive message. Nice thoughts on comparing new
and old. I, too, don't care much for newer TD, but I also keep listening,
and probably always will. Unless they do that polka album. Gotta draw the
line somewhere. ;-)

I like the new. I love the old. And when the old was new I was
younger too.
The music made my blood rush to the surface, I was flushed with the
experience.
I'm older now, and much like the dog that no longer has the energy or the
inclination to chase its own tail, I sit here doing this or that while the
old or new TD music plays in the background. The history of TD has been
written and they have moved on to other things The music is still good,
though different. Only time will tell if the current music has any staying
power. If it doesn't; so what? If it does; fine. They will have already
moved on to their next project. I hope I will be around for the next
incarnation, but if not I will probably be beyond caring. (The Reaper has
made a couple of unsuccessful attempts at harvesting me in the last five
years.)
Right now Edgar may be thinking about some etherial music, perhaps
even playing it. I begin to feel this strange resonance; an odd compulsion.

Yes, this CD does exist; I own it. As you mentioned, the cover has a wavy/
spiky computer-generated design, as does the CD (very cool!). The date
on the back is 1995. Unfortunately, it has no SBM.
I had a very difficult time finding older TD CDs in music stores. Sure,
all the stuff from the nineties was there, but everything else seemed
impossible to find. Then at a Barnes & Nobles, I came across the jackpot!
They had Phaedra, Ricochet, Stratosfear, Encore, Force Majeure, Logos,
and more. This is where I bought the new release of Force Majeure.
I also saw Force Majeure once in a used CD store. It had the original album
cover, but I don't remember any other details about it. . . .

I always assumed Virgin had re-released it as SBM, just like Hyperborea,
Encore, etcetera. In the disk store I always buy in, there is a copy of
FM by Griffin music, and no one has bought it in almost two months - I
suppose that everyone is thinking like me: wait until a D.E.R. comes...

I think I don't like very much 'Goblin's Club' precisely because of the
use of ethnic samples. When in 1981 Brian Eno and David Byrne released
the album 'My life in the bush of ghosts', I was amazed with the use of
the vocal samples and still today I enjoy this album very much. When in
1996 TD released GC, it just sounded to me as 'deja vu'. Nowadays the
use of ethnic samples is over-explored, and IMHO Tangerine Dream didn't
make anything new or different in GC. Take for example Jean Michel
Jarre's Zoolook. Whenever you like or hate this album, you will agree
that Jarre made a different use of vocal samples in there, and so
Zoolook sounds unique. Goblin's Club on the other hand, mainy because of
the unfortunate choice of that vocal sample, sounds to me just like a
Enigma album. All my humble opinion, of course.
Let me just point out 2 aditional albums which I consider having a
briliant use of ethnic samples together with electronics:
Jorge Reyes 'Comala'
Roberto Musci & Giovanni Venosta 'Messages & Portraits'
If you can find these albums, give them a listen, and then you will see
why GC didn't impress me.
About Aphrodite's Child '666' and Enigma 'MCMXC a.D.', I also noticed
the similar samples, and in this case it's easier to say who copied who!

I prefer Tangram, maybe because it was the first _complete_ TD album I
listened to, back in 1983, whereas my first exposure to Pergamon was
only last year. I think that when someone listen to an album of a new
artist and likes it, this album will be always a favorite. This happened
to me regarding Tangerine Dream, but also regarding Mike Oldfield
(Tubular Bells), Vangelis (Heaven and Hell), etc. That's why I consider
the first exposure to an artist so important.

Hey. I'm young and I get all that blood rushing stuff. Either it's the music,

listening to:

Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties
Echo & The Bunnymen - Heaven Up Here
Bryan Ferry - Boys And Girls

Have you had a chance to listen to Michel Sanchez' (aka Deep Forest)
stuff? I am exploring Enigma for the very first time because I
loved his albums (and the Australian boot) he put out. Some CD
service states that Enigma is in the same category. (BTW, the fact
that the vocals on 'Boheme' are done by a Hungarian lady -- Marta
Sebestyen, on a Transylvanian theme -- my roots, just added to the
pleasure).
I never considered TD's GC in the category of ethnorock. Maybe I
missed something. Although Michel Sanchez' 'Windows' smacks of TD,
but certainly not GC.
Thanks for the lead on Jorge Reyes.

You have two of his best albums in 'Legion' and 'Crash Head'. They've never
struck me as being cheesy. They are incredibly well produced and well
written with a fine sense of melody and movement though your 'dated'
comment is probably a reflection of that fact that these albums were
written with typical 1980's synths (PPG, DX7, Jupiter 8 etc). Nocturne also
is very good indeed but suffers a little in that it's perhaps too long and
that most of the tracks originated on Mark's library CD's so they were not
particularly fresh to the fan's ears. It is, however, very clean and clear
and more varied in compositional style than his other albums. Contact Ash
if you're interested in a copy of this disc.

Well, we're back from the EMMA event and, although the audience was poor in

from some early technical problems.
Special thanks to those digest readers who we spoke to at the event. The
AirSculpture lads were very much in evidence and last seen diving into the

Sorry we couldn't make it to your bash, Paul, but EMMA was too demoralising
for us to stick around any longer. My God, the audience was down to forty

Yeah I have to agree with you Gabe...Cheesy is the word I would use for
Crashhead as well as utter crap.....I couldn't see the fuss about Shreeve

original,but then I didn't think about it in that way and just enjoyed it as
an album and forgot about the period of time in which it sounds and when it
wads made.....so I would say Shreeve is like Schulze.......either very good or
very crap!

So, let me get this straight. The unpredictableness of TD is when
they do predictable music. Other than that they are predictably
unpredictable. In fact the predictability is that they are unpredictable
most of the time. Some of the fans, however, are predictably tired of the
current rash of unpredictability because they can see it coming a mile away.
They would much rather see TD do some of the older predictable stuff,
because that would be totally unpredictable. They would, predictably, enjoy
it alot more. At least until it became predictable again. But then TD could
always go back to being unpredictable again at the last possible moment. But
I bet there would be someone out there who had predicted it ahead of time. I
know I would.
I should have dictated this; my fingers are all tied up in knots.

Probably nobody responded to this Phil, because nobody has any idea how
much involvement Dad had. But I'll bet Dad had a lot -- just
speculation really. No doubt Jerome took the lead, but it did go out
with the Tangerine Dream name on it, so I'll bet Edgar was right in

Well, I don't know precisely what Dennis was trying to say there. If he
responds, then perhaps you guys can trash it out. I got this started
and I'll speak only for myself as it appears my motives are unclear.
I don't want to get into a meta-arguement or an
ARGUEMENT: GO TO ARGUEMENT
arguement, but by predictability, I was referring to the music, not the
band. To me, if a band always puts out unpredictable music, then the
band is unpredictable -- they can't be predictably unpredictable and
still leave us enough room to carry on a discussion.
And to address your next point, TD has not recently been all that
unpredictable. Point is: perhaps that's the element in their output of
the last 7 years or so that some people find disappointing and,
conversely, others find so good.
When the pioneers finally settle down, they stop being pioneers and
start being homesteaders. Perhaps some fans aren't ready to settle down
yet? -- I know I'm not. And perhaps other fans are/have settled down
and that's how they prefer it.
But that's all tangental. I'm mostly interested in characterizing the
music, not the band. I'll let each newby 'discover' the band in their
own way and at their own pace. I'm just tying to steer people towards
the music they want (pioneering or settled) based on what they already
have. In that regard, the chart is probably all anyone needs. If they
have nothing, then the assumption is that have strayed in from some
cold, dark place (FAX Records? Rather Interesting? Fathom?) and any sort
of description of TD's musical epochs will be helpful.

I don't think Phil was really putting you down, Mark. I personally had
a good chuckle at the play of words and I'd say that that was all that
Phil intended.

But it _can_.
Let me paraphrase your query...
Does Electronic Music have to deny its origins in electronics ?
No !
> If we can forget that the sounds that we are listening to come from
> long plastic boxes, then the music has accomplished it's goal.
Must the goal of music be to make long plastic boxes sound 'natural'
or 'human' ? I personally get really turned on (pun intended) by
purely electronic sounds. Analogue filter sweeps, geometrically
perfect sawtooth waveforms, metronomic timing - Yes ! DX7 FM sweeps,
natural instrument modelling, live drummers - No !

I think you might be missing the point. Kraftwerk are not trying
to BE 'The Robots'. They're not claiming to BE a production line
factory (if this isn't the English translation of 'Kraftwerk',
I'm sorry). What they're doing is producing music which sounds
bloody great to themselves (using their own human value
judgements) and which they think will appeal to others, hence
they release it. And there's no shortage of people ready to buy
their output.
I reckon the _real_ sound of a pocket calculator (try listening
on an FM radio between the stations whilst pressing buttons on
your calculator beside it) is VERY VERY DULL. However, to
bring things full circle, it's interesting to note that the
first computer music was created after a computer scientist noted
the 'musical' quality of these electromagnetic emissions whilst he
was listening to his radio !
It's the age-old trap (which I'm still guilty of falling into) of
using rational agruments to support your own likes and dislikes.
Kraftwerk get off on their own music and so do their fans. TD get
off on their own music and so do their fans. They are both of
exceptionally high quality, and both have stood the test of
time. Kraftwerk certainly appeal more directly to the current
retro and techno vogue, but that is through happy coincidence, not
design. If you don't like it, don't buy it - it will have been
recommended because there are a LOT of TD fans who, like myself,
think the world of Kraftwerk also.

Thanks for the suggestion.. there are quite a few fans of this group, even
the music manager of my local store here in town is a huge Kraftwerk fan.
I'm just not
too excited about The MIX album, although I do like the Autobahn track. I
guess I'm looking for less of a digital sound remix of analouge sounds but
something from the
time when they sounds were new and the ideas were fascinating. I know I
would like
to hear a song composed about a Pocket Calculator or a Home Computer from
75' than from today!

Yes! But what I'm saying.. as a remixed album, I cannot take this album and
compare it to the current crop of techno and say it's any better than that.
I'm looking for something WITH analogue sounds--and yes.. perfect for it's
time.

I have only tried their current '91 album and I do want to try something
from around '75 or '77. I personally think it's fascinating to write a song
about a home computer or a pocket calculator from this time period!
Why? Because we as human beings were just entering the age of
technology.. home computers.. and yes, pocket calculators. Maybe
the remixes didn't stand the test of time for me?

What album would you suggest I get? Trans Europe Express? Autobahn?
I got quite a few suggestions from others.
What value would it be to listen to the Dream Mixes without knowing what
the original tracks sounded like? I do know this answer as I did not have
'Turn of the Tides' and the tracks on Dream Mixes that were from this album
did not please me like any of the famililar tracks did.

I didn't say I gave up on this group, in fact, I do like Autobahn (the
track) very
much as I have two versions of it.. right now I do, maybe not tomorrow when
I trade The MIX in for something older by Kraftwerk.

I agree about 'ZooLook', it's a great album, just as excellent as 'Oxygene'
or 'Equinoxe', just...very different. But as for 'Goblin's Club', I don't share
your view that the whole album was based on the ethnic samples. Well yes,
there's that UUUUH-AYEYIO sound on 'Towards the Evening Star'. And
there's 'At Darwin's Motel', of course. I like it, other people don't...take it
or
leave it. But there's a whole lot more to GC than vocal samples - I don't
think TD are going anywhere near Enigma's direction.

I entirely agree. Do any of the veteran TD fans on the list remember public
reactions to previous changes in TD style? I think it's quite possible that at
some point, people's opinions were 'God, that Schmoelling bloke, he
screws up the whole music. Wish we had Peter back', or 'I still don't know
why they decided to drop the cello - it was such a vital element of their
music', or 'Yuck, where do all these fragmented Exit and Thief tunes come
from? In the old days, they used to play for hours on end'. Everyone has
his/her TD styles of preference, and I certainly have mine. But you're right,
only time can tell how _good_ and memorable the music actually is. Maybe
in a few years' time, we'll hear ourselves saying 'Waaaahey, _Lily on the
Beach_, that was a classic album!' Who knows? Personally, I don't think
it's that bad at all.

Sounds like your taste in well produced music is lacking somewhat here lads
- irrespective of whether you like it or not, Shreeves music IS of a
professional quality - backed by professional production - it may not be
to your taste - but to call it 'crap' is undermining its professionalism
- I suspect you fall into the same category of people who think
Amstrad/Binatone produce quality hi-fi and are unable to appreciate true
'quality' - are you musicians by any chance?? - if so it would be most
enlightening to hear what you are able to produce - just to see if you can
match Shreeve either compositionally or on the production front.

Since you claim that professionals cannot produce 'crap'
work, does that mean we can't call the Spice Girls 'crap'?
Speaking as a non-musician, I can't see how that single
word can be so problematic. How about 'rubbish', 'bad',
'poor', 'un-interesting', 'un-inspired', 'badly played'? I
guess some of these are okay and others not?
I am a computer professional, and know for a fact that
other professionals do produce crap. Just look at all those
cheap games you can buy that are Doom/Duke Nukem/Quake
clones. Just because they are written by people who get
paid for it doesn't make them good.
And just because certain artists clone TD/Schulze/Froese/KW
and get paid for it doesn't necessarily make what they do
good either. And on the scale of quality, crap is a valid
mark as far as I'm concerned.

Subject: Somnanbulistic Imagery
Really-From: 'Vincent Goudreault'
For those in the greater Montreal area, I went to 'Rock en Stock' on Crescent
street this week-end and fond (and bought, of course, what do you think?)
the 'Somnanbulistic Imagery' double CD boot. It is very expensive ($69.99
Canadian plus taxes, which works out to about $60 US) but the guy at the
counter
said that he *may* have another copy left (he said that he got 2 or 3 total).
Now, if Claude or Gabe or whoever in the Montreal area may be interested
manages to get to it, post that info on the list. If not, I will get back
to the store next week-end and, if lucky, will have a copy to offer to some
fortunate soul on this list.

Subject: Nitpicky Stuff re VIDEO DREAM MIXES, OASIS, Australian GOBLINS' C
Really-From: Steven Feldman
Hi, All,
A couple of questions. First, what exactly is on THE VIDEO DREAM
MIXES? By this, I mean, is it the entirety of the US release set to a
visual melange? does it have tracks not on THE DREAM MIXES? does it have
different versions of any tracks? Does it have anything from the UK
(second) CD?
Second, I noticed that the writing and images on the versions of
the OASIS CD and the Australian GOBLINS' CLUB CD that came from being
sold on TD's European tour are black and white. Is this an indication
of their being tour-specific special pressings? I ask this because the
OASIS CD offered on the tour was stated as being a 'pre-release.'

Is this really that hard to find over there? I see this
quite often in the local Record Fair. Agreed it is quite
expensive (stlg25), but if there's a definite market for it, I
would pick up a copy of it next time I see it.

I don't consider GC in the category of ethnorock either. But it definitely
contains some ethnic elements such as the female voice in 'At Darwin's Motel'
and the use of a Balalaika in 'On Crane's Passage'. My point was just why had
TD to approach world music if they didn't have anything new to add to this
genre (IMHO). Another thing I don't like very much in GC is the diversity of
styles. As I've already said on this list before, GC sounds to me just like a
sampler of different artists, and not a concept album. Maybe I am missing the
'spirit' of this album?
Thanks Andrew for your suggestions on Michel Sanchez/Deep Forest. I think I
have a sample of one of his albums somewhere. I'll try to find it when I get
home.

I picked up this copy yesterday. It's not an SBM. I also ended up buying a

I think that 'Elf June and the Midnight Patrol' would have been a different
song if they had had the boys choir actually sing the whole song instead of
them using samples (at least that's what it sounds like to me---maybe these
kids have more voice control to stop and start notes than I thought!)

Sure Grant. Only $100. Please send a money order right away. I'm
running a UK special -- stlg 90. ;-) Accommodations and air fare extra
of course.
I know Phil wasn't putting me down. Maybe I'm just being a little too
serious about the whole thing, but I just wanted to avoid flames from
folk who didn't know what I was up to. We kick around opinions about
TD's style, all very personal, without touching on objective measures of
what it is about the various TD styles that riles us. Some folks have
gotten their feelings hurt when their opinions got discounted. Really,
there are many reasons people listen to music, and like blood chemistry
and drugs, they're all different to various degrees. I've tried cocaine
several times with absolutely no effect. But a very small amount of
herb and I'm off blasting through extraterrestrial regions. Well, the
War on 90s TD is like that. A little 'Rockoon' does nothing for some
people while others are transported.
My humor will return. I'm planning a trip to the Catskills. Adios --

Well, you tell me Craig. I've never seen it before, anywhere. It is my
understanding that only a limited number (~500) were put out. Is it true?
And, at stlg25, the price is lower than what I paid for it.

Yes, I guess I exaggerated on this. I find the similarity to Enigma only in

I would say that TD in GC are going in many directions, but not far enough in
any of them.
