Well, I'd say that link to Earth is pretty much the most important part of
the whole mission, isn't it? What's the point of sending out a probe that
can't/won't relay any of its data back to Earth? Aren't certain
politicians and lobby groups going to jump all over this and claim it's
another colossal waste of taxpayers' money by NASA?

who hopes the Polar Lander mission succeeds, but there's never any
certainty with these things...
From:
Glenn Reinicke From: Owens James Besides according to JPL, the Climate observer is probably in orbit, it
just failed to re-connect the link to Earth.
Doesn't look like it. And as far as them being separate animals, that
doesn't seem to be entirely true either. They were going to use the Climate
Observer probably as an amplifier or booster for the signals coming from the
Polar Lander.
[excerpt]
Cook said that NASA scientists had expected that the orbiter would approach
Mars at an altitude of between 87 and 93 miles (140 and 150 kilometers) when
it fact it came in at 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the surface of the
planet. He said the minimum survival altitude was 53 miles (85 kilometers).
The project's development manager, John McNamee, said, ``We don't believe
that (37 miles) is survivable.''
Cook said there was a ``significant drop'' in altitude in the last few hours
of the approach to Mars, but the reason for that had not yet been
determined.
Cook said the probable loss of the climate orbiter would complicate the
lander mission, but contingency plans were already in place for the lander
to transmit data directly to Earth through the Deep Space Network and via
the Mars Global Surveyor.

Probably not. But I'm sure the conspiracy pages are being posted as we

[excerpt]
NASA has launched successfully 20 unmanned deep-space probes in the last two
years, including the Mars Pathfinder mission that grabbed the attention and
imagination of the world with its little Mars Rover, which sent back
thousands of pictures and millions of pieces of information as it examined
the surface of the Red Planet.

My point here was that as long as the probe didn't burn up, crash
land, or go into some strange orbit, there's still a good chance they will
be able to re-establish contact.

Always! This is unfortunate. Most people understand that
everything has it's problems. Plus, if you increase quality control, you
just make each flight more expensive. The most dangerous part of these kind
of missions is launch from Earth. If it makes it through launch it's
usually pretty safe.

Of course there's no certainty, but they have a higher chance of
success than you have of making it to work alive in the morning, and you go
anyway...

Unfortunately, that seems to be exactly what happened. It went into orbit
too low, at an altitude where it probably would have crashed.
Now, is that something that the folks at Mission Control actually HAD
control over (i.e. did somebody screw up and send it in too low?)

Except for the Global Surveyor, NASA's track record with Mars hasn't
exactly been stellar (pun intended? maybe ;) ) Think there's any chance
they'll find out what happened to the Viking landers (remember them?)?

You're in favour of a manned mission soon, aren't you? ;)
To get this back on topic:
I bet Edgar hopes that the mission succeeds.
If Mars Polaris will in fact be his last album with TD, I don't think he'd
like the irony that it was a tribute to a failed mission.

Very true. Some of Stravinsky's premier works almost caused near
rioting by the audience. Talk about BAD reviews. Opinions today could not be
more reversed.
Fifty years from now when I am comfortably at rest in the confines
of my coffin or perhaps recycled in a can of dog food, I suppose it's
possible that the artistic vangard quality of Ambient Monkeys will be the
most significant music creation of the Ancient Music Ensemble know as
Tangerine Dream.

Right you are, amazing sequencing! I heard it yesterday while working in the

But to me still the best is Berlin 27 June 1976 (this is going to be officially
released as Soundmill Navigator). This is really one of the best pieces ever
made (and not only for TD) I can only hope
that Edgar & Jerome won't put too much effort into the remixing like they did

Lawry, I want a word with you! Get the old Country and Western music out, cos
'My wife's left me, she's taken the kid, the goldfish has died and I'm blue
The weather was wet, the TV broke down, there's no food in the house,
and I've started sniffing glue
Why did you force me? I had to listen to Zeit
And now that I've done so, my life's turned out sh*te'
Despite my well-known and oft-broadcast dislike for Rockoon, it is truly Zeit
that gets fewest plays in my house. I've never been a big fan of dark ambient /
true space music and the only reason this is still in my collection is because
it's TD.
Looking for the good points, the opening minutes of the album are interesting :
one wonders of the Cologne Cello Quartett [sic] had/have been asked to perform
such material before/since. The overall effect - the multi-layered-sounding
tones and the morphing background - is quite hypnotic and a little disturbing.
But after seven minutes that strong sound fades and we are left with a variety
of droning dirges that continue, more or less undisturbed, for the remainder of
the album. Without paying very close attention it is difficult to spot the
change of tracks - perhaps intentional in this piece with four Movements.
However, my dislike for the 'music' and atmosphere presented on this album does
not alter my appreciation of its importance. It was the first album to feature
what would become the group's first (relatively) stable line-up and undeniably
continued the trend of experimentation and boundary-pushing already in evidence
from Electronic Meditation and Alpha Centauri. I feel that this was another
step on the road toward the perfection for which they were (and possibly still
are?) striving. A singular diversion down the road of dark ambience which they
felt led to a cul-de-sac requiring them to reverse out to a slightly different
neighbourhood for the next outing, Atem.
It is only the historic importance of this album that forces me to give this a
2AS.

I bought two LPs y Adelbert Van Deyen i don't know if there are some other
albums.
- Atmospheres (very KS Timewind style)
- Mond Borg (more like Moodawn style)
I never heard (or saw) other releases by him. In early 80's some pieces from
these LPs were broadcasted on a French radio in Toulouse but that's all.
If there are some other titles from him i hope somone could help us

I was just listening to this one again (it has been a while) and just wanted
to comment that this has some of Klaus Krieger's best drumming work. The
dude is phenomenal...maybe not a Harold Grobkopf in his ability to stretch a
motif for 30 minutes without missing a beat, but very nice nonetheless.
Being from '78, this CD is the perfect complement to Force Majeure and
rivals it as, what I like to think, is TDs most progressive 'rock' album.
These are tasty morsels indeed.
Tropic of Capricorn is classic TD flavor sequencer/synth heaven with a nice
melody too! Actually, the whole album is pretty good stuff and with the
addition of some of CF's driving rhythms could have easily been a TD
release. Well, I guess it is a TD release, since it is 2/3 of the
group...Imagine what this could have been with CF's imput.
Oh man...has anyone ever listened to 'Pizarro and Atahuallpa' and compared
it to the chugging 'train' rhythm sequence from Trans-Siberia. Except this
one, I believe, is played on hand drums by mr. Krieger! Amazing similarity
here...talk about recycling...

Yes, but level-headed new paradigm thinkers will recognize that
since the presence of a Martian civilization has not been *dis*proven,
it is not altogether ludicrous to suggest that such might exist.
I would argue that some scientists don't deserve to be taken
seriously on account of their automatically throwing out the baby with
the bathwater when certain data don't jibe conveniently with status quo
'wisdom' (read consensus reality). Just because a scientist is haughty,
arrogant, and has the entire scientific community to back up his or her
spineless heckling doesn't make him or her correct. In fact, no one of
any importance ever accomplished anything significant by being a good
sycophant and towing the line without questioning deepseated
preconceptions. A lot of people found many of Nikolai Tesla's theories
nutty, impractical, and irrelevant to science as mankind then knew it
because almost no one was on his level -- and we all know what happens
when someone thinks up something revolutionary that can't be proven,
don't we?
For about 15 years, now, remote viewers have claimed that there
are Martians below the planet's surface, and in New Mexico on our very
own planet. Granted, no one's proven it publicly, but no one's
*disproven* it, either.

On a similar topic (totally off topic from TD) is the reverse speech web
page:
htpp://www.reversespeech.com
This page claims that while you're speaking forward, your subconcious forms
the word so that when they are reversed they say what you're REALLY
thinking.
Anyway, some clips from an Art Bell radio show where Bell is interviewing
some NASA guys about the 'Face on Mars' and the supposed Martian Ruins
popularly called Cydonia. One of the guys is talking about how the Hubble
space telescope doesn't have the resolution to check these things out.
Reversed it says:
'We're involved at Cydonia' !!!! Later on another reversal says 'There's
ships and men there' !!!!
Take it for what you will...

Hey Steve, would this be the same guy that remote viewed a giant cubical
alien
ship larger than Earth following the Hale-Bopp comet that came to pass a few
years ago?
When this story broke, the California based Heaven's Gate group commited
suicide
in prediction of finding God at the exact day Hale Bopp was cloest to Earth
in hopes to
live their afterlife on this ship. Yes I heard all about that and I figure
after one too many
Zeit sessions, your mind will start to create more interesting things more
apt for the loony bin!
Do I think the U.S. government would let us know if there were
extraterestrials? No. Do
I think Scientists have a shallow mind on the subject? Yes. I think there is
a good argument
that certain UFOs seen in the sky have certain abilities that do not fit our
current technical
achievement.

He's only the most infamous, namely Courtney Brown, who wrote the
book, COSMIC VOYAGE -- a whopper of channeling about Greys and martians.
Others had been doing so for a decade before Brown signed up for a class
with Ed Dames' Psi Tech remote viewing institute.

I know quite a few occultists who don't find what happened re
Applewhite's flock amusing, pathetic, nor a waste. They died for what
they believed in and did so willingly without physically harming anyone
else. That's more than I can say for a lot of people.

Sounds vaguely like the early Christians and many millions of Jews.
The dieing part at least, and the believing part as well, of course.
Regardless, I think you might find that there is only a very small
minority of people who actually do NOT want to die and will agressively
persue their survival beliefs through the priviledge of harming others. They
are called lunatics. Sometimes they are called anti-abortionists.

Sorry, but I can't understand this 'Armin scale'. What is 2AS? Is it like 2

They played Rheims Cathedral once a long time ago, and they literally crammed
the place with people, three times as many as the hall could take. The bathroom
situation got (quite understandbly) out of hand and people took care of their
needs in places not suitable for any place, even less suitable in a Catholic
venue. So the Pope banned them from performing in any such place for all time.
Sad, but true, and also a bit clumpsy. But that's the story as far as I
remember it. (If I'm wrong please correct me).

Subject: RE: Applewhite, Heaven's Gate, and Misguidedness
Your listowner here.
Marcel, please hang tight. This is not the normal tenor of the list, and it
is getting a little off track.
This might be the part where I get called 'List Police', or a 'List Nazi',
but so be it. Most people here know that I don't normally step in on
off-topic meanderings, or I handle things off-list. But when people begin
to misconceive the purpose of this list because of inappropriate posts, it
calls for a public missive.
There is a nifty feature of this list that we as list moderators have up
until now chosen not to utilize. It is the ability to automatically place
new list members and/or individuals, instead of the entire list, on
'moderated' status until changed by a moderator. The obvious advantage to
this is that it allows time for 'newbies' to become conversant with the list
and the rules of netiquette as they apply to staying on topic, baiting,
trolling, flaming, whining, spamming, etc. Things have been pretty smooth
here, so we haven't implemented this feature yet. I'd like to keep it that
way.
As this list continues to grow, off-topic meanderings will become a more
attendant issue. Just please remember that your posts are irretrievable,
and go all over the world. A rule of thumb for carpenters is 'Measure
twice; cut once'. Applying this principle to mailing list participation is
good advice as well. If that is not enough, the mature thing to do is to
take a break. You can switch your mail off without unsubscribing at
onelist.com. Or you can leave altogether; it's up to you.
Lastly, Lawry deserves tremendous kudos for his efforts to coordinate the
weekly album discussions, and everybody here benefits from the fruit of his
efforts. Disrespecting him or his efforts is rude. If you don't like the
weekly discussions, don't participate, but try not to piss in the pool for
the rest of us.
Thank you,

Subject: Froese: Beyond the Storm question
Hello everyone.
I'm listening to 'Beyond the Storm' by Edgar Froese at the moment. I bought it
when it was released, but havn't paid it much attention ever since then. I
always thought the original versions were better, but I'm starting to
appreciate it more and more. When I look at the tracklisting and compare it to
the originals there is one immediate questionmark:
* The re-mastered (and reworked) tracks of the album are as far as I understand
supposed to be available on previously released albums. Then what albums do the
tracks 'Carneol' (CD1) and 'Metropolis' (CD2) come from? I can't find them
anywhere. I'm of course assuming that 'Aqua', 'Epsilon in Malaysian Pale',
'Macula Transfer', 'Ages', 'Stuntman', 'Solo 1974-1979', 'Kamikaze 1989' and
'Pinnacles' are all the solo albums available with mr.Froese.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks beforehand

Maybe Mr. Wojtyla (aka JP², the pope) should forgive TD and allow them to
do a concert in Rio's Metropolitan Cathedral. It's like a pyramid, and it
seems ugly outside, but when you enter there, you see wonderful vitrals (is
this word correct?), you know, the painted glass panels, and the cathedral
is HUGE from the inside. It certainly would be a great concert. I can send
a photo (jpg) of the cathedral if anyone wants to see what it is like.

'Carneol' is a new track, previously unreleased.
It does have a generic early '80s feel to it, despite the modern synth
sounds used. I'd place its roots between '79 and '81, but I could, of
course, be wrong.
So, Heiko, what's the deal with this Edgar Froese piece 'Brandmale' that
only you seem to have heard of? Is this an alternate name for
'Sobornost'?
Or are you smoking something special that you aren't sharing with us? ;)

Brandmale does exist and it is from a soundtrack (not Sobotnost). There
is some dialogue on the CD-R with some music from another band I think.
There definitely is some new original Edgar Froese music. Vic

Curiously, despite the total state of chaos, the

a really awesome show. This is another one Edgar
should think about releasing (of course he won't,
and certainly not without tampering with it).

IMO all the TD official albums, and soundtracks should be discussed, then
when we reach up to the present day album whatever that may be, we should
then proceed discussing the solo albums....just my thoughts on the subject.

According to Mike Jean, it's a Froese soundtrack from the early '70s.
Is it more or less in the style of TD music from that time, then?
(i.e. Alpha Centauri or Zeit)

Hi! I wonder if anyone can help me out here. Recently I saw an 80s film on
video, called 'Manhunter'-directed by Dino DeLaurentis.
I especially liked the soundtrack so when I looked at the end credits I saw it
was by Michel Rubini, whom I dont know and also
included tracks by Red 7 and K.Schulze. The soundtrack was an MCA release.
However, I cant seem to be able
to find it anywhere. Its either out of stock or it doesnt exist at all. One
on-line store claims that Tangerine Dream actually
contributed tracks to the film, just adding to my confusion. Is anyone aware of
this soundtrack and if TD actually contributed
to it? Did it ever come out? Thanx.

Hi James,
this is a soundtrack recording for a German film done by Edgar in the 70's
(don't know the exact date but I think it's from ca. 1978/79). It's not an
official album!

Oh Lord, what have I done ;-)
I feel a little bit uncomfortably about this because this is a bootleg
recording. Only 20 minutes long with some dialogue. Some music is definetly
from another band which sounds a little bit like 39
Clocks (a great German band in the tradition of Velvet Underground). There also
exists another CDR from Edgar which is called 'Das verbotene Spiel' (1979) and
which is a soundtrack to German radio
play (some sort of early Jim & Pablo).
And this really is the last time I'm talking about Bootlegs!
This week's topic is 'Atem'....as usual a great album by TD, it still is one of
my favourites.
Is/was there any electronic musician/band which screamed like mad apes
('Wahn')? I guess not! And the cover was great, too.

Heiko

Hi!
I just wanted to tell you, that Atem is not my
favourite TD album. Because of its cool floating organ

'Wahn' comes, I wake up suddenly with a frighten.
Besides 'Wahn' it would be a beautiful intro for

Hi,
there have been some TD mp3s around. I have collected the following:
- extract from Coldwater Canyon
- a mailing list member's remix of Dominion
- Stratosfear
- Midnight in Tula played by the Commodore C64 in a Video game (cool thing!)
- and most recently, somebody here mp3-encoded the end of Resurrection
from Electronic Mediation *backwards* so that we can understand the
vocals.
That's all I have. If there is more, I'd be glad to know

Oh, there's all sorts of things wrong with the packaging for Beyond the

Mine has the labels on discs 1 and 2 swapped.
I heard a story from the old list from some guy in Australia who bought
it...not only are the labels on his swapped, but the tracks on disc 2 were
apparently recorded in the reverse order of what the booklet says they
should be! (or so I remember) Now THAT one's a real collector's item!
I will check mine for what it says about the old/new status of
'Carneol'...

Subject: Free System Projekt: Pointless Reminder
Hello:
Usually I'm pretty quiet here, but I wanted to make you all aware of this
impending
release. I volunteered to help Marcel with the artrwork/layout for his new
disc, and
thereby have had the opportunity to get an advance copy. It spends a lot of
time in my
CD players, both at home and at work. Keep in mind that I'm not a musician...
The disc opens with 'Substance' (16:51), which those who have the prior FSP
releases
will recognize. It has been reworked and I believe sounds far superior to the
original
release. One could make parallels to the work of others (i.e. virgin years
TD), but
Marcel's work has a feel and sound of it's own. This piece runs the gamut from
spacey,
to eerie to powerful.
Track two is 'Amalthea' (10:24), which was originally issued on the first
'GoldTri'
compilation. Similar qualities to 'Substance', but in a somewhat shorter piece
plus a
wonderful piano solo at the end. I like it better here because it can be heard
in
context with other FSP work. The downside of samplers is that you have to
'shift
gears' with every tune.
Track three is a new piece entitled 'Coal Sack' (10:09), which begins with a
'waves on
the shore' sound and choir, a sequence builds in and becomes the focus for a
while,
before the lead synth adds melody. I find that there are sounds present in the
two new
tracks that really reach out and grab you. Could be some new equipment?
Track four is 'Faraday' (7:14), from the second 'GoldTri' set. Reworked,
though I
couldn't tell exactly how. You musician types will probably be able to tell.
The last track, 'Distance' (11:30), has a similar feel to track three, with the
addition of a keyboard solo at the end, kind of like the one that closes
'Amalthea',
only different. I really like these solo pieces, and would encourage Marcel to
do a
whole CD of them, if he ever felt so inclined.
Though not a 'concept album', the music on this disc flows very well together.
Anyone
who has the previous FSP releases will surely not be disappointed, and those of
you who
liked his material on the GoldTri samplers - here's your chance to get more! I
recommend this disc very highly. It should be available through Quantum very
soon.
Cheers!
Tom
P.S. If you have any comments regarding the artwork, I'd like to hear 'em.

Atem
1976
Virgin
28990 XBU LP (Double with Alpha Centauri)
This I find curious. I have very little connection with this music. It is
most likely that it is due to not buying this issue until I lost my copy of
Alpha Centauri and years later snatched this up to replace it. I got the
bonus Atem with it. I never heard Atem before. Didn't buy it as an individual
LP when I saw it. I wasn't a completist at that time, only buying the TD that
I was strongly interested in.
On the whole I would say that I prefer Alpha Centauri, Zeit, and even
Electronic Meditation over this one. I cannot get over the almost annoying
aspect of this recording. Due to the similarity to what I myself had been
doing with a cheap three head reel-to-reel tape deck years previous, I found
this to be a bit juvenile because it was obviously taken out of context. I
notice that the discographical misalignment has not repaired itself even
after all this time.
Enough said on this venue. I will push on to more adventurous fields when
the increasingly fascinating and groundbreaking releases arrive for comment.
Any moment now.

Subject: D: Atem
Atem was the first pre-Virgin (is there such a thing? :-) TD CD that I
bought. Even though I had been 'in to' TD for awhile, I had always had the
impression I should steer clear of the earliest releases. But when I saw a
used copy of Atem, I played it on a listening station, and really liked it.
The sound quality was terrible on the Relativity version, so I went out and
bought the Castle reissue.
I know a lot of people, even fans who like some of the older stuff, just sort
of dismiss Atem as so-so. I don't know why, but I really get into it. It
reminds me of the early Ash Ra Tempel CDs, being part freak out psychedelic
rock (love the wild drumming for the first five minutes), and part laid back
space music, with lots and lots of mellotron. It meanders beautifully
through the last part of 'Atem,' into 'Fauni Gena' and 'Circulation of
Events.' It took me longer to get into 'Wahn' - let's face it, they sound
downright silly at the beginning. But then those great drums come in again.
I sure do miss those drums. Edgar and Jerome need a real drummer.
Bottom line: a solid 4AS.

Subject: D: [Studio] Atem
When I first listened to Atem in 1982 I was a little bit disappointed.
No sequencers, no melodies... But at that time I was 13 years old and
was expecting stuff like Stratosfear or Logos which where the first
albums I bought. In fact it took me a long time to appreciate the albums
that where released prior to Phaedra. It was too experimental for me at
that time and age. But if I had to make a top 10 list of all my fave TD
albums Atem would surely be amongst them. The first minutes are
absolutely glorious (or like Julian Cope said in his 'Krautrocksampler'
book: 'music to build pyramids to') It brings back memories of me
hearing this Side A as a teenager, lying in my bed late at night with
headphones on and the hi-fi full blast (and I mean FULL blast ;-),
waiting for this giant crashing sound to come (when the pyramids
collapse ? ) The last 10+ minutes of this song couldn't be different
from the start but are also very very beautiful. 'Fauni-Gena', the first
track on Side B.... When listening to this track I always thought about
prehistoric times, giant birds and dinosaurs. A world uninhabited by
humans. Another TD classic. The closing track 'Wahn' sounds a little bit
different from the rest... Some people going mad and screaming like
chimanzees, beating furiously on their bongos. A track which empties any
crowed room in a few seconds ;-) I love it. It really showed to me
Froese/Franke/Baumann had the guts to do what they wanted to and didn't
care about commercial success. (although later Atem was chosen as the
'Import of the year' album by John Peel. I guess TD owes him a lot for
he was the person who started TD's career) From all the albums which
where released until 1973, 'Atem' is my favourite of them all (but
closely followed by Alpha Centauri and Zeit).

Way back, in the mists of time (around 1993?), on the old Tadream list (RIP), I
started a rather unorganzed attempt to run a poll of the top ten (and bottom
ten) TD albums. That was a bit of a shambles - some ony offered 5 votes, others
listed 10 studio albums and 10 soundtracks, etc.
Not too long after, esteemed list member Armin Theissen suggested that a more
organized poll be conducted. He provided a list of all TD albums against which
each voter applied a score from 1 to 5. Armin offerred suggestons for what each
score would represent from 1 - poor to 5 - perfect.
And thus, the Armin Scale (AS) was born.

There's an evolutionary step taken here.
Not as radical as Phaedra, obviously, but there's a step away
from the exclusively drone mode and freak-out anarchy
of the earlier albums (Though both those elements here too...)
Why, there's an actual theme at the beginning of Atem, and what
seems to be an agreement on the structure as opposed to complete
improvisation. ( I.E. The intro theme, the build-up, the explosion,
the spacey part, the later 'windlike' climax all seem to be planned events.)
Circulation of events revisits the drone mode of Zeit.
Not much to add there, but I do like it. Wahn..... well... errrrr
(ahem) The intro is embarrassing. I'm not sure where I read this,
(Though I think it was the '70 to '80 box set) but someone wrote
that this was a rare example of the bands sense of humor...
Well, I think that's a just a little disingenuous. I think they meant it
to be 'cosmic' though it came out more flatulent. The rest of the
piece is fine ... but that intro.......

I just got that CD today, actually. Though I'm not too familiar with Roach's
music (my only prior experience being his collaboration with Robert Rich,
'Strata'), I like 'Light Fantastic' quite a bit. Like much of 'Strata,' it's
remarkably soothing and floaty and ambient, yet rhythmic at the same time.
Neat trick. Oh, and the cover art is great too.

As long as we are on the off-topic of Steve Roach, I second the comments
about both the great music and cover art on Light Fantastic. I thought Body

LF has more balance between those 'fractal grooves' and the spacier sections.
But speaking of those silly credits for fractal grooves and such, what in the

I have to concur. After 'Epislon in Malaysian Pale', 'Fauni-Gena'
is my favorite mellotron-centric song. And that bass line is very
subtle, but pure evil -- like a snake slithering along the jungle floor.
The tangentized version on DREAM ROOTS is a cool revisit of the
song with a supplemental bass 'thock' that brings out that
imagery.
'Circulation' is a great piece, too, but just way too short. If they'd
done a ZEIT length version of that, ATEM would be a fuller album,
IMO.
Personal historical TD note: I first heard those two songs when I
bought the double 'COLLECTION' album very early on in my TD
listening days (that was a shock) and they were my favorite pieces
in the collection. Eventually 'Burning Brain' and 'White Clouds'
grew on me and from that collection, I started picking up the Pink
Years albums.

The three remaining pieces are fantastic, and I was a fool to wait as long as I
did to buy it. If I had to give it a grade it would have to be: 3,5 As
>(I understand the principle of the Armin Scale, but can somebody please
explain where it origins from?)
I answered this (I think) the other day - check digest 220.
BTW, I believe the AS was specifically chosen to force individuals to chhose
between whole numbers. As such, you're score of 3.5 is 'invalid', forcing you
to choose whether it is simply average (3AS) or good (4AS).
Perhaps if Armin still has the specific gradings (i.e. what each number
represents) he could post it again?

He's got a pretty decent following. I like some of his stuff, but some is
just bleeps and blurps. I think he also records under at least one other
pseudonym, can't recall what it is. I think it's his DJ name, which I
believe is how he started out.
A very good ambient release is his collaboration with Pete Namlook on FAX,
Shades of Orion 3. The first track is kinda bad technoish stuff, but it's
really short, followed by two very long tracks (38 and 25 minutes), drones
with a lot of deep bass that vibrates the floor under my speakers.

Subject: D:Studio [Atem]
Please pardon the slight lateness of this review.
'Atem' is one of my more recent purchases, and I haven't given it as much
listening as I would like to have before writing a review. But hopefully I
can make up for it by paying close attention to it this time. (By the way,
shouldn't be quite as long as my 'Zeit' review.)
---
1. Atem
Out of an eerie whooshing sound comes the most immense, majestic melody I've
ever heard from TD, or from anyone, really. It doesn't sound much like TD,
actually, but I don't care. It's incredibly beautiful and powerful. I know
exactly what Julian Cope meant when he called it 'music for building the
pyramids to,' though I tend to picture a Roman emperor surveying his army
from a hilltop.
Before long, the deep, steady drum beat gets a bit more frantic, and is
joined by what sound like synth-horns (though, this being 1973, I don't have
any idea what's actually producing the sound). Various weird noises appear in
the background, though they don't draw much attention to themselves. That
amazing melody fades away gradually and is replaced by some less structured
string-like themes. After a while of this, there's a loud... explosion?
That's what it sounds like, anyway. And then, everything goes quiet...
Some soft, floaty chords appear out of the darkness, as does a meandering
flute-like sound. This is a bit like parts of 'Zeit,' but easier to listen
to. It goes on in this quiet vein for some time. Then water starts running.
This sound degenerates into static fairly quickly, though. After some time,
the sound starts to build up very, very gradually. About 15 minutes into the
track, the music is starting to get more foreboding. It's quiet again, but
now there's an odd oscillating sound. Shades of 'Aqua.' Creepy string-like
chords add to the tension. But apparently the foreboding was unfounded, as
the music fades gently away.
---
2. Fauni-Gena
I first heard this on an ancient cassette compilation ('Tangerine Dream: the
Collection,') I think. I was younger and less experienced in the ways of odd
music, and it was late at night, so it kind of creeped me out. But I like it
now.
To me, it evokes the atmosphere of an alien jungle in deep night. Unknown
creatures chitter and cry, but it's not threatening, just mysterious. The
wonderful flutey sound is like a human explorer cautiously investigating this
world he's landed on. (Now it's seeming like the soundtrack to an Andre
Norton novel.) Strings (Mellotron, I presume) join the exploration, like
other members of the explorer's party, trying not to make much noise and
speaking only in whispers, if at all. Some of these creatures sound like
Earth birds, but it must be coincidence. Near the end, a pulsing bass sound
appears. Perhaps the explorers are returning to their ship.
---
3. Circulation of Events
A repeating two-chord pattern over some rustling sounds. I feel the same
nighttime atmosphere that the album has evoked since that intro to the title
track went away. Nothing really stands out here except for the sequence-like
bit that comes in around the four-minute mark (IS it a sequence? Does anybody
know what this sound is made by?). This one doesn't interest me too much,
especially when contrasted with the fascinating 'Fauni-Gena.'
---
4. Wahn
I feel that I don't really need to describe the first half of this piece,
since several people already have. Some powerful drums soon back up the
yelping, and then said yelping is replaced by music. And good music, too. The
echoing beat is interesting, and the melody is another of those chord/flute
combinations that make up much of the album, but it's lighter in feel, and
quite beautiful. The ending, unfortunately, is a bit abrupt, but I can easily
overlook that minor flaw.
---
In the end, I find this album worthwhile, and much more listenable than
'Zeit.' The atonality is gone, and replaced by some very good melodies. It's
still a pretty strange album, but in a good way.

'nightmarish vision' is a bit of an interpretation.
'Wahn' means either 'delusion', 'madness' or 'mania'.
Immo 'madness' fits best with the music. It does sound
like what stoopid people (about all hollywood movies covering

Now the title/music combination makes much more sense
to me and fits whichever of your possible translations
I apply. I was always uncomfortable with the nightmarish
vision one as it simply didn't fit the second half of the
track.

Subject: D:Studio [Green Desert]
This album is very difficult for me to review as the (I feel)
inappropriate 'enhancements' blur the historical relevance
of the recordings. I just don't hear most of this album fitting in
the time line as we have been going back and listening to them.
This is most evident on track 3 'Astral Voyager,' where most
of the tonalities and compositional style seem more mid-80's
( I'm reminded of Pinnacles.) I really don't know what, if anything
at all was recorded in '73. The first track is a little more believable
with the drums and guitar and very basic drone. I could see these
things being done back then, but sizable chunks of the album
are simply out of time. Part of this opinion is based on having a
pretty good idea what they had to work with technically back then
and a large amount of this recording does NOT represent that.
I am perhaps a little more critical on this
point than I'm sure many of you will be. It's not that I don't like
the album, I do. I just have had the opportunity to hear some
bootleg live recordings lately that have really turned me on, and
would have very much liked to hear the recordings in the raw.
I recently read an interview with Edgar where he justified the
'additions' as giving the audience something new, which I can understand to a
degree, but I can take it raw, and in this case
would have preferred it that way.
I think I'd put my vote in for Green Desert being my favorite track.
This one feels closest to original though there's plenty of add-ons
here, too. Track 2 I'd believe the drums were original, but the
chord progression has no connection to anything else that was
recorded in this time frame at all. Track 3 I've already mentioned,
though I'm critical of it's inclusion, I like it as a piece of music.
Track 4, well again, these kinds of chord progressions don't appear
until much later in their music.
sooooo what is real?
What were the circumstances of Peter Baumann not being on this

is that Michael Hoenig peeking up at the camera on the first page

If you're that much of a Hoenig completist, you could always pick up 'Last
Live' (1974/5) by Agitation Free (the group C. Franke was in before TD),
which features Hoenig in the keyboard seat.

Subject: D:Studio In the Beginning
Since I received the first 5 TD albums at one time, I'll add my 2 cents
about them together. I received them as a gift, the 'In the Beginning' box
set from someone who hated the TD. A very thoughtful gift but soon I had to
make a choice between TD and her and well, TD is still around ;-)
Anyway, I'm glad I didn't buy EM as my first TD album. It would probably
have been my last TD. IMHO the music that I enjoy from this set comes few and
far between. The 2AS is generous as its there first recording and it is very
experimental.
The next came AC and this is where the beginnings of TD's 'classic' sounds
are starting to be formulated. Rating 3AS
Atem, which wasn't next but to me sounds like it is, expands on the work of
AC. It contains four tracks which are all strong in there on right. It
floats, it is experimental, its got some strong drumming. Wahn, with its
strange vocalizations, is a fav track as both the vocals and instrumentation
become more menacing in a buildup and then recedes peacefully. I can see why
john Peel liked this so much. 4AS
That brings me to Zeit. This is one of those albums that doesn't get played
much, and you must be in a certain mood to even attempt to play it, but I
always enjoy it. Where did they came up with the idea for the moaning
cellos that sound like they are in pain? This is definitely not to be played
with the lights out for total relaxation but it should not be played at
parties either. It is one of the most difficult albums to listen to. For
me its like listening to some of King Crimson such as 'Red', in that it is
very difficult but its very rewarding. Its either 1AS or 4AS depending on
when you play it.
The last album is Green Desert. For people who don't like when Edgar & Chris
changes originals, this is another example. It definitely has sounds on it
that do not show up before and do not appear many years after 1973 and thte
production is much cleaner. Having said that but believing that if it makes
it better than change it, I am a big fan of this album. It got some
beautiful sequencing, sound effects, and excellent mellotron. It also has
some serious Franke drumming. Does anyone know its origin of the drumming, 73
or 86? Indian Summer is one of the best tracks to kick back to that was ever
put to disc (IMHO!!!!). A well balanced album and enjoyable end to end. 5AS
Its been a while since I listen to some of these. Thanks for reminding me of
some of the great early music. I have been listening recently to a bunch of
the newer CD's (Quinoa, Ambient Monkeys, Transsiberia, Goblins Club). I was
beginning to feel like TD was, for me, washed up. If Mars Polaris wasn't
really to my liking, I was about to give up on them. MP, is a very good
piece of work so my faith has been restored but I wish they would add someone
with the chops of Schmoelling or Haslinger . I do though think I'm going to
pass on the 2 Atlantic and 2 Hollywood albums because the impression I get is
that much of this music is on other CD's. Is it true?
Can anyone tell me the sound quality of the CD's of the five albums? I'm
thinking of replacing all except EM.
Thanks,
Bob

Oh well...
just so you know that's not typical of the SSO project...I'm not sure what
is. I have two tracks from the album _Phantastische Phanomene_ (ooo I
hope I got that right) and it sounds much more like _Rockoon_ than like
Goa.

Well, technically speaking, Mozart and Haydn are the only composers from
the classical era. Back and Albinoni are Baroque and Scriabin (that's how
we spell his name in North America) is Romantic (IIRC). The Germans, of

I'm also a big fan of this album...but I hear no mellotron on
it...nowhere...which also shows that it isn't a '73 recording imo.
Everything they did in that period had mellotrons on it...but this not.

Hi Marcel!
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't 'Green Desert' basically re-recorded
in '84? In such case that might explain the abscent Mellotron...

The drumming on Green Desert - Green Desert sounds much too well
recorded, IMO, to be vintage 1973, but I've been wrong before. This could be

You're right, my typo. Can't blame that one on the insensitivity of my

Subject: RE: Green Desert
Night time or Day? I've listen to so many TD CDs in the desert, definitly my
band of choice. I can see the heat waves dancing with Green Desert. As with
most of TD Albums they seem to become intwined in my memory with the events
in my life at the time of first listening. After a day of backcountry
telemark skiing between the giant sequoias I made it back to my car at
twilight. After making some soup and hot tea under the brillant stars I
began my drive home. When Green Desert started I was just beginning down the
steep road under Moro rock, wave after wave of warm fog began to flow by.
The fog waves were so insync with the music that I pulled over next to a
water fall to watch and listen. I'll never forget it. The music has a
awesome power to it. Warm vibrations. Green Desert gets more play time from
me than all the earlier releases together, more than Pheadra, less than
Rubycon.

You sure ? Check track 1! What do you hear at the 3:17 mark ?
That's a mellotron choir FOR SURE - an unlooped to be precise.
I also hear a few instruments that fit well into the proposed recording
time of August 1973 - the VCS3 Putney, Solina Strings through a phaser, the
Mini Moog (melody on track two).
Of course the sound is way clearer/cleaner than on Phaedra for example-
it could well be denoised and remixed in 1984.
I'm not too sure about the melody flute on track two (around 3:40),
that's added and reminds me a bit on Stuntman.
Also the melody on track 3 is surely added later on and I hardly believe
the sequences on that track were done with a PRX II rhythm controller
triggering a mini moog - that track most likely is a fake (although the
played transposed quint
is simple enough for TD 73 and could well be played manually to the
all_notes
at_the_same_pitch (echo)_sequence_pattern (that could be done by trigering
a mini moog with an annalogue rhythm controller). All in all 5 different
notes,
3 at one time - the art of sequencing ! 8-) Nah, not really. ;-)
Track 4 sounds like a left over from stuntman again.
Well, we'll never know what exactly was recorded in 73 and what was added in
84.
In the meanwhile enjoy what you got. :-)

No way would Chris have gotten behind his kit again in the 80s. The drums
were definitely done back in '73.

An episode of Streethawk featured a great sequencer piece which later
resurfaced, albeit reworked and with an added vocoder effect/intro by Hans
Bosch, on Johannes Schmoelling's debut album, WUIVEND REIT, as 'Zeit (for

As a matter of fact the track with SSO didn´t sound like typical hard and fast

Hadn't Chris gotten rid of his drums by the time they recorded _Phaedra_?
So, then, do you think the guitar likely to be vintage, or added in?
(Personally, I don't think it sounds very much like Froese's '70s
style...)

So, is that the PC term in the US for 'landed immigrant' these days? ;)
As I learned it, one can only be a first-generation _______an if one is
born on that country's soil of immigrant parents. I guess that makes me a
1.5th-generation Canadian, since one of my parent was born here (to
immigrant parents) and the other *is* an immigrant.
To get this on topic: does that make Jerome Froese a 1.5er also?
Edgar was technically not born in Germany...don't know about Monica...
;) ;) ;)

It's pretty safe to assume so, but unlike his more recent Tangentizing
efforts, the guitar blends in so well, it's hard to say. If the original
master was lower and the added guitar track was this much *louder* then we'd
know for sure, but as it stands, the title track (of G.D.) smokes :-)

Funny you should say that... I got the same impression when I was
listening to it... so much so that I checked the date of Stuntman
(1979) but discounted it because it wasn't from 1973 or 1984..... but
the echoes of it can be found on GD for sure.

I happen to like this one a lot, and consider it his best solo

Hello.
'Wuivend Riet' is a wonderful album, powerful, full of sequencer stuff, very
rhythmical. I especially like the 'Zeit (for Stephan)' track. It's in my
opinion his best solo album. Remember while listening to it that it is from the
same year 'LeParc' was made. See if you can draw some parallells.
I don't think you'll regret buying it, but if you do - I'd like to buy the
vinyl copy you've found (mine's getting worn) ;o)

After years of looking I've finally managed to snag a copy of
'Ages' off of E-bay for a few bucks. It seems to be in mint condition - and
on VINYL!
It appears to be a German issue, but I am not quite sure. Can
anyone else help out here? It's on Virgin, Copyright 1978, Printed 1978,
Catalog Number 25 756-406
Next to the tiny Virgin logo is reads 'Im Ariola-Vertrieb' and
under that 'Printed in Western Germany by ......' Also the copyright warnings
on the labels are written in German followed by English.
This is the first set of LPs I've purchased this year. Rather a
long hiatus.

Well, it belonged to Germany in 1944 when Edgar was born.
Tilsit was part of East Prussia and has been occupied long before
WW1. It still was part of Germany between the world wars
and during WW2. After WW2 it has been occupied by the USSR
and is now part of Lithuania. So, Gabe, Edgar was born in Germany (which
isn't really important
actually), technically.
This has been a public service especially for the North Americans in our
midst -
I can't believe how few some of you know about the history of Europe.
Well, it really is more important to know who the 17th or 18th president of
the States has been, eh ?

Subject: Main Topic for a While or Number One on Wanted List. A Reply
I am sorry to have missed all of your kind words over the past few
weeks. Maybe I'll still be able to subscibe...
I have been told by a couple of my friends that I have become a
topic...I am know beginning to believe that indeed the end of the world is
comming.....
Unfortunately I do not have the original notes to be able to reply to you,
but here is a reply to what I have gathered from my friends (At least I hope
so).
Am I a Deadbeat. NO..
I am screwing people out of anything? NO..
which brings up a need for a definition.
What is a trade??? This kids is were you trade something and I give you
something. I have not PROFITTED IN ANY OF MY So Called Trades!!!!! Blank
discs you get back and you pay for postage (In the form of a cheque or
blanks). Under this definition. I get nothing for the transaction and you
get something (When you actually receive it (but I haven't) good point, we
will work something out in the e-mail to satisfy that request).
Why not make a profit, some have...I was just trying to do people a favour.
Ask Kevin, Eric or Sean M. they might agree). I too am a TD fan and know
what it feels like to have so little material and others who seem to have it
all. Share the wealth but for god's sake, back the band financially wherever
possible!
So why have you not received your goods in a timely manner. This Year
(Florence, I know you don't buy this, but coming from you I expect no less),
I have lost my e-mail twice, went through a burner and upon installation had
to re-install Windows 95, a death in the family (Again, lame excuse
Florence?). Understand something, I ran a SOD and RDE tree amd take a guess
how many cd's were done for a lot of people (Some who did not even say thank
you) Ah, you might ask, how much did I profit on that (one burned out
burner).Mark that's a good deal.
Another excuse, I have been on a project from work that has consumed a lot
of time in the last 5 months. Should I have voluntered to help out a few
people. No, I should not have, given that I would not be able to meet my
committement in a timely manner. I apologize and I promise not to volunteer
again..than guess what, you lose a topic! Any other excuses are no damm
business of yours (Sounds better, hey FLO).
I have the copies ready to go, all I need is addresses, I have misplaced
them (Mark not another excuse....FLO here). Please send them and my
conscience will be clearer but I will always carry the guilt. It's getting
very late...I'll give you PART II tomorrow. I'll explain the song by ELTON
JOHN...the bitch is back..
Also we find out tomorrow we find out why COREL is in such rough shape...and
if anyone has FLO's notes, please forward them.....I would like to have
another chuckle..I'm afraid that we all laugh too little.
Sorry to waste your time, but you have wasted a lot of time on me......there
the rub.

I don't know if there is an official Demo CD of Streethawk (i doubt there is

But we could find a double CD(R) boot called Streethawk Demo cut (or Rough

This items is simply a recording of the soundtrack of the different episode

If there is an Official CD it would be great to see a cover or listening to

Hello!
I'll confirm that. I actually have the .jpg file you're talking about. I doubt
however the CDR is worth owning. CDR1 has 89 tracks, and CDR2 has 69 tracks,
and more than half of them are shorter than 1 minute. Makes 'Dead Solid
Perfect' sound like a dream come true!
Anyway, if anybody's interested in the scan, contact me offlist, and I'll send
it to you.
Have a great day!

Atem [1973]
Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann
Atem
Fauni Gena
Circulation of Events
Wahn
If you recall my previous ramblings about Alpha Centauri, you'll remember that
I got this quite early on in my TD 'career', but never got into it as much as
AC. It still doesn't get as much play as that excellent album, but certainly
scores higher than both Electronic Meditation and Zeit.
The album opens with the same feel as AC, with 'organ' sounds, effects and, of
course, those frantic drums again. But after a less than six minutes, there is
a change of pace and, with that, I see TD bid farewell to the early years.
Having said that, before they leave for good, they do revisit their
space/ambient side with a reprise of Zeit-style music which is not quite as bad
as that album, but not far off.
The album's second track (Fauni-Gena) is a very 'descriptive' piece - the
simulated bird sounds are very well done (for their day) and the overall feel
is of peace and tranquillity. However, I feel the Mellotron is overused. Some
of you may know that I am not a fan of this piece of equipment and, in this
particular case, I really don't like it. This does surprise me a little as I
did enjoy the flute-work on Alpha, particularly. I don't know if I am
prejudiced against this piece because I _know_ it's not a real flute, or if it
is the playing I do not like.
Circulation ... flows by with minimal impact - something which cannot be said
of Wahn. I love this track - a return to the Electronic Meditation-style of
experimentation and totally unexpected within the peaceful context of the
majority of the remainder of the album. It is this which pulls the score of the
album up to 3AS.
BTW, real fans of this album may wish to seek out Artemiy Artemiev's Point of
Intersection which 'borrows' significant chunks of both the title track and
Wahn for one of AA's tracks. When mentioned on the other list some time ago,
there was some debate as to whether this was sampling the Atem album or using
the Mellotron tapes used on Atem. I don't know if that discussion was ever put
to bed definitively.

I always love it when music is characterized as sounding
'thoughtful'...so, what do you think is 'unthoughtful' about his style
today? If anything, I'd say he's gotten smoother and more emotional over
the years, in some cases to the point of an almost wistful
sentimentality. He was still a little 'psychedelic' sounding back
in the '70s. Compare 'Coldwater Canyon' to the solo from 'Song of the
Whale', 'Yucatan', or 'Magic Lantern'. Where do you think you'd draw the
dividing line? ;)

I don't know...I'd say that, based on the timbres and key, it could sound
like anything Edgar did between 1979 and 1983, more towards the
Kamikaze/Pinnacles feel. Structurally, however, this track reminds me of
nothing so much as...wait for it...'Mothers of Rain'! Both have the same
basic structure of a repeating chord cycle with an improvised-feeling
melody on a flute-like patch meandering over it. (The actual chords, key,
and development differ, of course, and 'MoR' has more layers and
percussion).
I wonder if doing 'Indian Summer' (in its current form) served as an
inspiration for 'Mothers of Rain'. Both _Green Desert_ and 'MoR' (in its
*original* form) made their debuts the same year...Edgar could have liked
how 'Indian Summer' turned out so much, he figured, 'I'll just roll off
another track in a similar vein to use for something, sometime'.

I don't think that there is a dividing line, actually. It is all --
more to the point of development of style and confidence. A musician doesn't
suddenly wake up one day as fully developed as Athena being birthed from
Zeus' forehead. It all takes time and work.
The term thoughtful was used more as an affect to describe from my
point of view (&IMO) that Edgar at that moment in time was inclined to play
sectionally rather than with 'flow.'
When I heard 'Magic Lantern' I was totally blown away by his
technical prowess _&_ 'flow.' I still have difficulty believing that this is
him, and I listen to this track every few days. It is remarkable. Some years
ago on the old list, I insisted that it was NOT Edgar - COULDN'T be.
Ignorance is bliss.
Anyway, at some point in the relationship of instrument and artist
the union of the two becomes inseparable. You are unable to find the seams
where one begins and the other ends. Like Charlie Parker or Thelonious Monk
-- the music just seems to arrive complete in a wrapped gift box. There is no
question about strengths or weaknesses -- that is irrelevant -- you just sit
back and let it shower you with its magnificence. THAT is 'Magic Lantern' --
It breathes!
'Thoughtful' is me being aware of the process -- I can see the
wires which support the magician's mechanisms. This diminishes the magic
slightly. I can still appreciate it, but I don't have to use my hand to put
my dropped jaw back into its normal position.

Same applies for Tyranny of Beauty.
Track #10 'Quaser' also isn't listed on the cover but is on the CD.
With 3 seconds longer it clocks at 3:46 :-)

TD albums also have wrong timings? This happens with ALL Jarre's CDs. For
example,Oxygene part 3. Cover time: 3'24. Correct timing: 2'56. Horrible. I
always have to write a piece of paper with the correct timings.

Hello all,
Sorry, but I've been off line for a vey long time. And, It took me
awhile to find out where the list moved to.
I just wanted to get caught back up with any new TD releases.
My last purchases were:
Oasis, Tournado, Timesquare, Ambient Monkeys, and Valentine Wheels.
What albums or soundtracks have been released since those?
I appreciate your help.

Dear Nick,
Thanks ever sooo much for the fantastic memory of your info!
This question has been on Phaedra_TD's mind for almost a quarter
of a century (Sorry Phaedra -- we're all getting older with plenty of TD
grace, btw!). We both appreciate the immediate feedback. Perhaps
now knowing the titles of: 'Quatermass series' or 'Tomorrow People'
this in itself will be enough to jar her musical TD memory! After all,
'Rubycon' is a true and pure 'TD classic' in every sense of the word
and one that is not likely to ever be forgotten anytime real soon... ;-)

I'm rather curious to know this too. I assume he's gone back to making
theatre music...an album every 5 years doesn't exactly pay the bills.
He still has his Riet-Studio, I gather, but he probably isn't the only one
who works there; I'd gather that other artists produce their stuff at his
place as well (for a nominal fee, of course).

I think it's more likely to be 'Children of the Stones' which was
produced by HTV in 1976. The link below has more info:

Subject: Avebury Stone circle and Rubycon.
I may be able to help here - with the TV series I'm afraid, not the music.
The series I think Phaedra_TD has in mind was called 'Children of the
Stones' and was shown on ITV in the mid Seventies. The lead character was
played by a Scottish actor (Iain Cuthbertson???)and he held the entire village
in his thrall by some mystical power. The abiding image is of some people in a
car attempting to leave the village and being foeced to stop by a woman in the
road who also appears to be a standing stone (yeah, I know, wierd!). They are
only able to drive past the stones and out of the village by destroying the
villain.
I'm afraid I have no recollection of the music used at all.
Hope this helps.
Tony.

While we're on the subject of Rubycon: I was in a cinema the other day and
was very surprised to hear Rubycon being played on the sound system prior
and after the film! I was half tempted to seek out the kindred soul who put
it in the cinema's playlist!
On another note: I've been listening to disc 5 of Tangents a lot lately,
especially Silver Scale. I've always wondered why this fabulous track was
never released on a regular studio album. Could this have been another
Green Desert? I believe the track was written around 1980, between Force
Majeure and Tangram, as it it is solely credited to Froese and Franke. TD
being a democratic group, did they decide that after Schmoelling joined the
band the track was no longer a group effort and therefore not eligible to
be included on the next release? The same theory could hold for Valley of
the Sun as well.
What other 'un-democratic' gems are locked away in Edgar's safe, one can
only wonder. Maybe the proposed rarities discs will bring some of those to
light. Can't wait!

BTW, Jon -- that was great research you did to find that URL listing for:
'Children of the Stones' and to include the date of 1976 as well. And,
Tony -- your amazing account of all those details including the Scottish
actor (Iain Cuthbertson), as a strong possibility. I've said it more than
once that this list (and, of course, the other Tadream OneList tangerine-
dream unmoderated list run by our friend and colleague Joel Mullen), is
without any doubt the greatest collection assembled of TD information
available anywhere on this planet. We can all be very proud!
As, for all the rest -- Phaedra_TD will simply have to continue pondering
the power and beauty of the absolute masterpiece that we all know simply
as: 'Rubycon' (Part Two), as the music that she recalls from the opening
sequence in relation to the choir aspect... But, for now, we will all have
'PHAEDRA' very much on our collective TD minds. Undoubtedly, for
the majority of us diehards -- this is truly (I'd better insert IMHO here
LOL), where most of us BEGIN...
Long live and prosper: 'TANGERINE DREAM.'

Subject: D: [Studio] Green Desert
Hmm, I usually try to get my comments in at the beginning of the week, not
the end. Now I know why - you guys pretty much said it all. I was surprised
looking back at how consistent most of the comments were. My two favorite
tracks, like many, are also Green Desert and Astral Voyager (AV is fun
because it's one of the few TD songs I can actually play on my synth, since
it's so simple, matching my level of musical prowess, i.e. little to none).
Funny thing is, I first had this on tape from someone else's CD, and, to me,
the transition is so good from Green Desert to White Clouds that I used to
think they were all one song - I just thought there was sort of a pause
before a big final movement with the drums.
BTW, can anyone tell me about the Castle re-issue on this one? I know the
cover art is VERY different - how are the liner notes? I love Julian Cope's
notes on the other pre-Virgin reissues, but I never got around to buying the
re-issued version of GD. I figured the sound quality wouldn't be that
different, since it was a later release, anyway.

Subject: D:Studio[Phaedra]
Well, here it is folks, the epicenter of The Berlin School.
We're all going to be scrambling for adjectives this week
to describe this most important album.
Phaedra:
even the intro (relatively close to what came before in their albums).
is a whole new sound for TD. A rapid sequence descends from above
and percolates while bells chime and from it emerges a whole new
world of exploration in the hypnotic bass sequence that has become
the signature for TD. Ghostly sound patterns swirl around it creating a whole
environment of mysticism. At about 2:30 in you can hear Chris
Franke adjusting the notes of the sequence. Apparently they did not
know that this was to be THE take! Choirs introduce the listener to a new
sphere bracing you for the gorgeous mellotron melody flanged to
lysergic levels. The melody races around the cosmos while the bass pattern
subtly changes underneath. There appears only once an enigmatic water drop
sound at 4:30 that I've always loved. Then, what seems to be an echoed bass
guitar ( I think so because of slight timing errors I can't see happening
with a sequencer.) playing a similar hypnotic
pattern takes over while sample and hold patterns scurry around like metal
rain. Ominous chords wash over and a new landscape emerges.
Froese, Franke, and Baumann are the priests summoning a portal to
different dimensions here. At about 6:00 in there are minimalist-styled
ecstatic patterns until it again changes and flute, and mellotron take
the trip to a much heavier level. Reverb on the flute washes in and out
continually changing the aural position from near to far. A low Piano
tone like a Tibetan monk chanting while the notes in the bass part
change again on the fly. Weird shrieks emerge with percussive tumbling
sounds. At 9:30 the bass pitch rises to a climax and a choir warns
of the impending explosion. We are now left to drift in space with splashes
of prepared piano flashing by. Alien bird sounds and yawning
voids open up while a mellotron choir brings a somewhat familiar element
to mix. Something to hold on to. Children's voices are tagged on to the
end in a very enigmatic way. (Later echoed on the intro to Epsilon)
Heavy. Futuristic. Raw. Visionary. Magical. Unbelievable. Liberating.
These all describe Phaedra to me. How can I possibly explain the
importance of this album, and specifically, this piece? The MOST
'Alternative' album of all time? I honestly can't think of anything more
radically different ever appearing on the charts. EVER.
Mysterious semblance at the strand of nightmares...
LUSH. like a dark rainforest covered in fog. This is (along with epsilon)
one of the greatest mellotron moments ever. enhanced by spare
wind and synth effects. The chords seem a perfect blend of
spontaneous and deeply felt emotions. Perfection. The whole piece
sustains this mood except for a brief staccato interlude where
the chords stutter like a strobe light. (inevitable '70's reference.)
I envision Beethoven at a mellotron with candles everywhere playing
a concert for the astral plane. At about 6:30 the mellotron lead
sounds as if it's being processed through a filter on the modular
system. Things start sounding more liquid, like an ocean appearing
from nowhere.
Movements of a visionary
This piece opens with a kind of chaotic sound field reminiscent of
(but in my opinion better than) Wahn. I suspect that it's their voices
being processed through filters. A soundtrack for Halloween.
Another pattern emerges out of this wash setting the mood for
the rest of the piece. Organ pads wash over the background while
percussive synths echo kaleidoscopically. I wonder what it must have been
like for them in the studio hearing this back over the speakers
for the first time. One thing that is apparent about TD as compared to
many others is that the main sequence was almost constantly being
altered on the fly. Kudos to Mr.Franke for such wonderful creativity.
Sequent C'
A beautiful ending to one of the greatest albums ever.
Peter delicately playing flute through a long echo in the style of
Minimalist Terry Riley. This piece is very organic as well as
hypnotic.
It may take quite a while before Phaedra is given its proper respect
as the revolutionary album that it is, and , knowing music history, I
have to comment that it may in fact never happen... but I suspect
that it will.

One of my favorite parts about Virgin era TD is those great album covers. I
think the abstract covers match the music perfectly.
My copy of Phaedra has another of those ubiquitous typos on TD credits -
'MysteriUOs Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares.' The outside track
listing is correct, but it is misspelled on the booklet - anyone else have
this? I've since seen used copies spelled correctly.
Enough of that, on to the music. I bought Phaedra fairly late in my TD
collecting, so in comparison to some of my faves like Ricochet and Rubycon,
it didn't impress me much. But now, seeing where it fits into the overall
development of TD, it really was quite extraordinary. Someone else said they
thought Atem was the pivotal album, but I'll go along with the majority who
seem to think it's this one. The step forward, especially on the
sequencing, from Atem to Phaedra, is nothing short of extraordinary.
The pattern gets a bit redundant on the lengthy title track, but there are so
many cool effects to go along with that I don't mind so much. I love the
drop off a precipice in the middle of the song where it gets minimal and
spooky. Very interesting the bit they do at the end with the sounds of kids
playing in the distance. It goes nicely with Jerome's picture on the back
cover.
The whole album is great. My favorites are 'Movements...' and 'Sequent C'.'
The bubbly sequencers in Movements are great, and the organ leads are, to me,
the only recognizable tie to Atem at all, bringing back memories of Fauni
Gena and Circulation of Events. The closer is perfect, short and sweet. A
bit melancholy, but not overly sad to me. A quiet reflective end.
Since the Armin scale doesn't allow half points, I'm really torn here. I
still don't play Phaedra as much as others, but I like it more every time I
do. A very high 4AS, I almost want to say 5AS - but that can wait for
Rubycon and Ricochet.

I agree, but Phaedra and Force Majeure's covers are the weirdest ones.
Phaedra, because it seems to have sense, but it doesn't. Force Majeure is
weird because of that ball. It's red on the front, and it's that...

Hi everyone, especially Gustavo!
Please tell me what kind of scale do you use for
rating those tracks. E.g. Phaedra - 8,5 points.
You mean 8,5 of 10?
If the maximum is 10 points, then my rating is:
Phaedra - the album: 8 points
1. Phaedra - 9 points
I think this was the first track that made TD famous
in 1974. Especially for the first, sequencer part of
it. The second part is similar to the second part of
Atem - spacey, mellow. At the end there are some
voices of children in a (school?) corridor. I don't
know the use of it.
2. Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares -
8 points
A beautiful track with beautiful mellotron sounds - I
like it!
3. Movements of a Visionary - 10 points
This is my favourite track from the album. I don't
know why some people doesn't like it. It's
interesting, mesmering... and so on.
4. Sequent 'C - 2 points
This shouldn't have done. Those awful flute sounds...
and it also hasn't got an end. Maybe I don't
understand this track - sorry.
That's it. I'm awaiting for your response. Bye!

Hi,
A bit late, but anyway, thanks for all the help with my question about the
Mellotron.
Now it is time for another one (in a series of highly interesting
questions):
I've heard a lot about the fifth disc of Tangents and it seems interesting
enough. Being a longtime collector of TD material I already have my
fair-share of compilations though and wonder if anyone knows if one can buy
that particular disc separately somewhere?

Hello
I surfed on CDnow and it listed Architecture In Motion with street date on Oct
12, 1999. I believe it is a related/identical release to What A Blast, so is it
going to be another W.A.B. CD on Miramar instead of TDI, or is it the video
release? Anybody has any idea, cos the Miramar website has no mention of it.

Nope.
As far as I know Tangents has been deleted. Once upon a time (well, about 4 or
5 months ago) I ordered it via 3 mailorder companies which all claimed to have
Tangents in stock. But in the end no-one
was able to fulfill my order. I was lucky to obtain a copy from a TD collector
in Germany who dissolved his (mighty impressive) collection. And for a very
reasonable price (about 40 US Dollars).
And at no time was it possible to buy the 5th disc seperately. But from what I
can recall it wasn't as good as the 5th disc from the 'Dream roots' collection.
Here you can find more or less solo
pieces from Edgar (with the exception of the great 'Silver scale' which was
used during their live concerts in late 1980 / early 1981).

I would like to put my A TIME FOR HEROES CD by Tangerine Dream up for auction

If anyone is interested, they should email me asap, as it's first come first

Subject: D:Studio [Green Desert]
Another late addition, and there's little to add to what others have said, but
here i is for all you 'completists'.
Green Desert [1973]
Edgar Froese, Chris Franke
Green Desert
White Clouds
Astral Voyager
Indian Summer
By the time I get around to posting this, there will inevitably have been a
number of posts explaining the background to this peculiarity. Unfortunately, I
plan to reiterate some of these for the purposes of my review/discussion.
1. Green Desert was recorded by Froese and Franke, when Baumann was on one of
his sabbaticals.
2. Green Desert was replaced by Phaedra (see next weeks' discussion) when TD
were signed by the fledgling Virgin label. I have seen at least two versions of
the reason for this :
a) TD were/are a democratic band and didn't want to release an album without
Peter's input
b) the album was intended as a demo to persuade Virgin to sign them.
Personnally, I don't believe either, wholely. I think Ed 'n' Chris created this
whilst between contracts and the only reason they didn't release it when signed
to Virgin was because their forwarding fee (or whatever its called) allowed
them to buy new gear and experiment before their new contract required an
album.
3. Green Desert was released in 1986, but contains remixed/re-recorded music
rather than the original.
I'll start by saying that I like this album - I like it a lot. The combination
of drums, guitar and background effects (particularly in the title track) lead
this right up my street. Musically, I think this album is out-of-line with the
albums around it, whether they be Atem and Phaedra or Poland and Le Parc or Le
Parc and Underwater Sunlight.
First off : I have heard a number of times that Chris threw away his drum kit
after Atem. The use (and prominence) of so much drums on this album is,
therefore, a quandry.
Are these reports incorrect or inaccurate?
Possibly (we'll never know for sure, I guess). Perhaps Chris threw his drum kit
away before Phaedra was released, but that could have been after Green Desert
was originally recorded. Or maybe the 'throwing away' was a metophorical,
rather than physical, act and he kept his hand in all through the Virgin years.
Perhaps Chris dusted the old kit off in 1984 and returned to his roots.
Was a studio musician used?
Well, TD has never shyed away from saying who did what on their albums (except
perhaps for more details of the studio musicians used on Beach Theme / Scene
from the Thief CD) and quite happily stated that Klaus Krieger played on two TD
and one Froese album, so I doubt this.
Secondly : When did Edgar start playing the guitar like that? The opening phase
of the title track contains a solid, melodic piece of guitar work, totally
unlike anything that appeared before and until much later (at least in their
studio work).
And finally, when did TD start the great synth melody lines? They moved from
the ambience of Zeit and Atem to the sequencer sounds of Phaedra and Rubycon
and by-passed the melody of Green Desert until Stratosfear? I think not!
I believe that this is a very complex, and much handled, album, featuring many
layers of music created over many years. The drum work and background chord
sequences etc. may have come from the original recordings, but I think all
guitar and lead synth work is new. I also think these parts were not originally
part of the album, but added in 1984 to more closely reflect the musical style
of TD at that time.
Of course, until Ed sees fit to release his memoirs, we will never know, and
musing on such matters are simply a waste of time. I enjoyed wasting my time -
I hope you enjoyed wasting yours.
BTW, this gets a 4AS from me.

Miramar is releasing the 'What a Blast' CD under the name 'Architecture in
Motion'. It will be the same as the TDI release, except it'll be leaving
off two bonus tracks (both remixes of other TD songs...Jungle Journey
and Timesquare if I remember correctly) that TDI added at the end. Given
the absurd price to order WaB as an import, I decided to wait for the
Miramar release. Whether it'll really be out on the 12th, however, is
anyone's guess.

Well, my Virgin Definitive Edition CD has 'Strand' becoming 'Stand' on
the back cover. That was one thing that really p****d me off with the
Virgin reissues, a myriad of spelling mistakes and incorrect info.
Having said that, the new TDI albums don't seem to manage too well
either. I think that all TD packaging should be proof read by a TD
die-hard beforehand. I'm sure that no mistake would _EVER_ get
through! Sad bunch that we are. :-)

this? I've since seen used copies spelled correctly.
Enough of that, on to the music. I bought Phaedra fairly late in my TD
collecting, so in comparison to some of my faves like Ricochet and Rubycon,
it didn't impress me much. But now, seeing where it fits into the overall
development of TD, it really was quite extraordinary. Someone else said they
thought Atem was the pivotal album, but I'll go along with the majority who
seem to think it's this one. The step forward, especially on the
sequencing, from Atem to Phaedra, is nothing short of extraordinary.
The pattern gets a bit redundant on the lengthy title track, but there are so
many cool effects to go along with that I don't mind so much. I love the
drop off a precipice in the middle of the song where it gets minimal and
spooky. Very interesting the bit they do at the end with the sounds of kids
playing in the distance. It goes nicely with Jerome's picture on the back
cover.
The whole album is great. My favorites are 'Movements...' and 'Sequent C'.'
The bubbly sequencers in Movements are great, and the organ leads are, to me,
the only recognizable tie to Atem at all, bringing back memories of Fauni
Gena and Circulation of Events. The closer is perfect, short and sweet. A
bit melancholy, but not overly sad to me. A quiet reflective end.
Since the Armin scale doesn't allow half points, I'm really torn here. I
still don't play Phaedra as much as others, but I like it more every time I
do. A very high 4AS, I almost want to say 5AS - but that can wait for
Rubycon and Ricochet.

* I'm going to have to agree with Phil here. I think this music demonstrates
to a degree what elements Baumann brought to
TD (IMHO) Simplicity, Beauty, and a very mysterious aesthetic.
I couldn't think of any better way to end such an overwhelming

Phaedra [1974]
Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann
Phaedra
Mysterious Semblance at the Stand of Nightmares
Movements of a Visionary
Sequent 'C'
Okay, before I start, a couple of questions about the track titles. First,
'Mysterious Semblance at the STAND of Nightmares' is what it says on my Virgin
Definitve Edition CD. I always thought it was STRAND - defective eyes/memory or
yet another Virgin typo error? Similarly, I recall the last track on the album
being called 'Sequent C'', with an apostrophe after the C - I assumed this was
French for something. Now it appears in single quotes, as though it is the
third part (A, B, C) of Sequent (whatever that is). Any thoughts?
The other main gripe with the remaster (as with the original CD version, I
think) is that the playground scene (i.e. with the children's laughter) is
supposed to be part of the title track and not Mysterious Semblance ...
As for the music - well, let me start by saying that anyone who doesn't place
this within their top three TD albums should be forced to listen to Rockoon,
Tyranny of Beauty and Zeit on continuous play for seven days and six nights.
Of course, I may be biased. Phaedra was the first TD that I bought and really
heard. Prior to this I had dim and distant memories of my father playing some
weird stuff that, once he and my mother seperated, she tried her best to make
me forget. Listening to Phaedra for the first time on my small, crappy hi-fi in
the confines of my bedroom is one of those formative events in a young person's
life that, even at that time, you know changes the way you look at life. Too
much Frosted Shreddies for breakfast? Perhaps, but there's no denying that this
is TD's landmark album, and not just for me.
With the benefit of hind-sight and a little more experience on the ways of
electronic music and TD in particular, it is clear to me now that the title
track is a number of shorter pieces segued together to form one long piece.
When I first heard this, though, this changing tempo and sounds were about the
most important thing about the album. The piece was always evolving and there
was no chance to be tired of one part because it would soon change again.
Although I would now say that the title track lacks what I consider a melody, I
do recall 'singing' along with the sequencer lines at various points as though
this were some form of mantra. Oh how the innocence of youth is corrupted by
the evils of the world!
I surprise myself with how much I like Mysterious Semblance and Sequent C' -
being so full of Mellotron moments as they are. Certainly, they do score
slightly lower than the other two tracks, but there is something about their
play which attracts more than any other piece of Mellotron work I have.
I also like the return to 'experimentation' in Movements of a Visionary - the
perfect intervention between two 'melody'-based tracks. Some of the sequencer
effects here are sublime and it is this piece, as much as the title track,
which makes the album for me.
If you hadn't alreday guessed, this gets a 5AS from me.

You're right. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Peter Baumann was using
older nomenclature to denote the key *and* tonality of the piece. In the
Baroque era, at least, keys were often written out as just 'C, c, g, G',
etc. -- uppercase letters meaning major, and lowercase letters meaning
minor. Thus, A would be A major, f would be f minor. I'm not exactly sure
what the apostrophe is for, but I'm sure I've seen that type of thing
elsewhere as well. I think it's there because it's an abbreviation (instead
of being C major, it's just C' ).
Hope that helps!

Might be the case BUT if Sequent C is in C major I visit me doctor soon

Not true. C' is C just one octave higher - at least that's what my music
teacher told me.
IMO the 'C' indicates either
the base key of the used scale
or that a 'C flute' has been used
or both apply
or I'm totally wrong. ;-)
Haven't listened to Phaedra for a while, btw.

That's correct. Actually, this grade goes up every time I listen to Phaedra.
Now it's probably like this: Phaedra - 9; Msatson - 9,5; Movements - 7;

I'm still listening to Phaedra (second time in a row), since I began to

Movements... is really the worst track in this album.

* Well I'd agree with that statement. I think they acheived heights in
originality and vision that VERY few other bands could lay claim to.
Especially during these years, but it is also something of an acquired
taste for some as it's not as 'pop' or whatever adjective you care
to use as their new works, which I have to admit pretty much stopped
(Brickwall!) after Tyranny of Beauty. Although being on this list has in
fact inspired me to go and start buying the newer ones again.
Does anybody have some recommends of recent works that would be
less on the sax and more on the visionary states for an old pair of ears who
were there early on and have a strong bias toward it?
Oh yes, back to the subject, there have been tests done on this
aspect of music in a working (or learning) environment and classical
had the most positive results. Which brings up a theory of mine
that classic TD is just that...classical...at least strongly in influence.
(I'm sure many will disagree strongly with this.)

The title track is so-so, the second track (VOXEL UX) is really
pretty good, but the last track (LHASA) is a stinker.

Lifeless cloning of studio tracks with some guitar added and much

This and DREAM MIXES II are the same album.

A turkey: animal sounds superimposed over shifting tribal-ambient

Feh; no! *Not* OASIS. The TD albums most like MARS POLARIS are
TimeSquare: DREAM MIXES II and WHAT A BLAST (a/k/a ARCHITECTURE IN
MOTION.
TimeSquare: DREAM MIXES II is actually a drum 'n' bass album.
As for DREAM MIXES, if you go for that one, go for the import
2-CD version rather than the single-CD version, because there are four
tracks on the 2nd CD that are well worth it.

_Dream Mixes_, _TimeSquare_, _Oasis_, _Goblins Club_, _TransSiberia_, and
_Mars Polaris_ are all sax-free. Of these, though, I'd argue that
_Goblins Club_ is overall the most like _ToB_ and the least like earlier
TD. It also has, IMO, no thematic unity whatsoever.

Strangest thing is that I only bought Ambient Monkeys from that list.
Don't like the others...I've listened to them lots of time, but that just
isn't my music...Okay Monkeys has a lot of atmospheric fxs, but at least it
has
atmosphere which I don't find anymore nowadays (expect AM).
btw: you still think Eds gonna quite in 2000? Don't remember when I read it,
it
was last week (over here) and saw that they were 'booked' till 2004, so I
don't
think he will quite. And if he is, then I would love to know what happens
next...

Hi Koulos personaly I would choose either of the above. ( Why ? ) Because
out of the list you provided I think they are the best , although I am sure

I'd disagree with that categorization, except for the track 'Digital Sister.'
I only point this out because I wouldn't want someone who wasn't fond of

Subject: On 'Melrose'........
On 'Melrose,' track 5 titled 'Electric Lion' the music begins with
a peculiar instrument, electric no doubt, which sounds like an electric
piano, electric xylophone, and harpsichord, and a number of other things as
well. Quite a variety of sounds which progress and change and regroup in real
time. I think the keyboard is played by Paul Haslinger because it is very
sophisticated in its chording manipulation. What is this instrument? The
meager liner notes just say 'Paul Haslinger:keyboards' I don't think I've
heard anything quite like this, though.
On this same piece, after the middle break, which is reminiscent of
a chorus of metal oboes in an underground garage, there is a long section
which sounds like Edgar on Guitar -- multitracked. Some of it just doesn't
sound quite real enough to be ALL Guitar. I thought that there might be
another keyboard mixed in at certain points. Anyone else have an opinion?

Why can't it be 2 of the 3? ;)
Paul is most likely playing lead, to be sure, but I'd venture that Edgar
is doing the harmony and chord foundations here.

They were still pretty heavily into the DX7 and Korg M1 at this time,
IIRC.

Actually, this is both Edgar and Jerome in their first guitar 'duet'
together. Jerome is the high keening wail sound, while Edgar is the
lower, more 'throaty' sounding one (IMO, of course).

Subject: strand vs stand and sequent c'
I dug out my trusty 1974 Virgin vinyl, and it's definitely 'strand' (on both
cover and label). Nothing wrong with Craig's eyes or brain on that one!
His memory on sequent c' also matches, as far as the placing of the apostrophe
goes. It's difficult to tell whether it's an upper or lower case C, as all
the lettering on the inside cover is lower case, whilst all the lettering on
the label is upper case, so whatever Herr Baumann intended is obscured
(possibly deliberately) by Edgar's sleeve design.
My German dictionary gives several words for sequence, none of which are
'sequent'- maybe someone who speaks better german than I do can help?.
However, there is an english word sequent, meaning (when used
as an adjective) following, consequent, successive, consecutive, or (as a
noun) a follower, that which follows.
As for the meaning of the apostrophe - I too was taught to read it as
meaning 'raised by one octave'. Apostrophes are also used musically to
indicate when a breath should be taken, which might be applicable to this
piece in particular. The WORD apostrophe means a sudden turning away from
the ordinary course of a speech - again, maybe appropriate to the contrast
presented by this track.
However, my personal theory is that the whole thing is a sort of linguistic
and visual pun: the apostrophe is used as it is in modern english, to indicate
the possessive, and the 'c' is to be read as sea. Thus the whole thing would
mean 'follower of the sea'.
After which display of useless erudition I shall retire blushing - I'm not
normally like this, honest!

I second Mars Polaris. Oasis had some songs that really grabbed me, and the
video is great, IMO. Dream Mixes was fun. Quinoa Extended, Thief Yang and
the Tangram Seal (single). There are quite a few standouts on the newer
releases. One of the things we could do when it gets boring here is vote on
the best tracks of the 90's. I've been having this TD compilation urge, its
been a long time since I felt like that.
Oh yeah I forgot, Electronic Orgy, Sea of Dreams, Real Dream Encores.

Just some words about Phaedra from me...
I love this album.
The first track is just awesome. Out of nowhere comes this big
sound which slowly develops into sequences. Later on the heavily
processed mellotron which is just superb.
It builds up to a (spooky) climax and after that lots of atmosphere.
Superb 'birds' like sounds and mellotron playing.
Somebody said that the sound quality wasn't too good, well I agree
with that but it fits...sometimes the sound quality musn't be top.
Second track is a wonderful mellotron track complete with noise
sweeps...not much to say about it.
Third track is imo the least good of all the tracks...I never listen
to it, mostly because of the annoying organ sound.
Last track is okay...a quiet ending sure...it fits, but the track itself
is not very special.
I like this album because of its 'simplicity'. I don't mean that they are
simple structures or whatever, but a sequencer, some chords and a leadline
(sometimes)...it makes the music so much better then what they do nowadays
with pumping the track so full that there is nothing left for your
imagination.
(but thats just prbably me rambling again)
For track 1 and 2 alone I will give this album a 4AS. (5 was the highest
wasn't it?)

The bass+keyboard intro and outro are very probably played by Haslinger.
I don't like them too much - they sound too sugary and clash with the
fabulous guitarfest inbetween...
I bet the entire guitar part is a Edgar/Jerome duet. Some sounds are
clearly not Edgar's style, but his typical playing is also easily
detectable in the mix.

Yes, Mars Polaris is a masterpiece, IMHO. You also might want to try the
Oasis soundtrack -- a lot of old-style TD sequencing in there. If you're
feeling really adventurous, you could check out Goblin's Club (a personal
favorite), but GC seems to be on many fans' *bottom* 10 list for some
strange reason.

*Well I'm from across the river and spend quite a bit of time there.
What does she like? If she reads tell her to go to Powell's Books.
It's the largest bookstore on the west coast. There are forests,
mountains, rivers, Up north she could see Mt. St. Helens which is amazing.
One thing for sure without a doubt have her drive up the
Columbia River Gorge, which is stunning. If she would more likely
stay in town nw 23rd is a nice upscale section, but I'm partial to the
funkier charm of Hawthorne. Portland is a beautiful city.
Music Millenium has a nice CD shop on Burnside, which is near
the Hawthorne area (My choice.) I don't know where you're from...
There's not an over abundance of shops carrying Berlin School...
MM is your best choice. Hawthorne (one more plug) has a million
used CD stores, as well as a Ben and Jerry's, Fujin (excellent
Szechuan) Biddy Mcgraws (Great Irish pub) Ehhhhh just have her
go to Hawthorne!!!!!!! ;-)
Let me know if there's anything else.
Also, Phil Derby lives there, I'm sure he'd have a few ideas

Phaedra
1. Phaedra
2. Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares
3. Movements of a Visionary
4. Sequent 'C'
Edgar Froese - Mellotron, bass, VCS3 synthesizer, organ
Chris Franke - Moog synthesizer, organ, VCS3 synthesizer
Peter Baumann - organ, electric piano,VCS3 synthesizer, flute
I'm relatively new in the list. My name is Christian and I'm from Bolivia. I
started to listen TANGERINE DREAM with the albums Melrose and Rockoon.
When I got these albums I did not know anything about the Virgin years
(Phaedra, Rubycon, Ricochet, ..). Finally I could get Phaedra (and all the
Virgin records) after eight years (1998) of my first album.
Phaedra is an excellent album in both senses: experimental and artistic. It is
also the result of Franke effort with the Moog synth at Hansa Studios. (I
thing, It is the second time that Jerome appears in the back cover).
The first track 'Phaedra' is the result of years of experimentation with the
Moog Synth. Franke studied this Synth for aproximately 2 years (all the
connectors and those things). After this, Franke discovered that he can do and
endless sequence. In the other side, Edgar is a master on the Mellotron. Both
Synths are in Phaedra. Phaedra starts with an excellent sequence (Moog) and in
the 10:20 starts the Mellotron. It is interesting to know the differences of
opinions between Franke and Froese. Franke wanted to produce sounds by means of
the Moog (sounds generated electronically), while Edgar preferred the Mellotron
(with pre-recorded sounds). I think, this difference of opinions is present in
Phaedra. Maybe I'm wrong, I'd like to listen some opinions about this?
The second track 'Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares' is very
peaceful and here we can listen the preference of the Mellotron by Edgar
Froese. This track is very similar to the first work of Jean Michel Jarre
'Oxygen'
Again In 'Movements of a Visionary' there is an excellent sequence. In the back
It is possible to listen the Mellotron, which one makes me remember 'Drunken
Mozart in the Desert' (Stuntman)
Sequent 'C' is Baumann work at the flute.
Finally, I'd like to say that It is good to listen diferent opinions. It was a
good idea talk about one album per week.

Many thanks for your eloquent points, Marion. I like the 'follower of the sea'
idea. For some reason, I had always seen the term as French - I didn't realise
there was an English word 'sequent'.
And it's good to see the female population fo this list now counts 2 (or is it

Not at all! GC is in a tie with MP for my favorite of the '90s (well, DM1
is up there, too, but in a slightly different category).
IMO, Sequent C' is just fine, but not my favorite track on the album. If I
had to pick a favorite from Phaedra, it might be Movements of a Visionary.
In a way, Sequent C' kinda reminded me of Oasis' Cedar Breaks (although I
don't really care much for Cedar Breaks).
One thing I've noticed big time though: using headphones to listen to TD
reveals much you cannot hear while driving down the highway, or passively
listening as you perform other tasks. I'm constantly amazed at the new
things I find in music I've heard 1000 times when I use headphones!

What is everyone's opinion on what TD's best live album is? I'm torn between
'Ricochet' and 'Logos'. 'Poland' and 'Encore' are also fine albums, but they
do go on a bit.
I'm also looking for a copy of Peter Baumann's 'Trans Harmonic Nights' -

Perhaps it was meant to be read together, i.e. 'sequence.'
Phaedra on the whole is fabbo, IMHO. It was my first TD album, in 1983,
after seeing 'The Soldier.' I was expecting something a little more hip and
upbeat, and was actually kind of bummed after hearing it the first time, but
then when I realized that there's some music from Phaedra in The Soldier, I
liked it a lot more and now it's among my faves.

Hey Simon,
Live Miles IMHO, is the best live album. Poland is good as well :)
However, Valentine wheels is growing on me. Anyone want to get technical by
saying that because these albums were slightly modified that they cannot be
considered true live albums?
As I am unsure, I am under the impression that Poland was modified by Edgar
as we have seen he almost always has to contribute a few touch-ups.

Subject: D:Studio (Phaedra)
Track One: Phaedra
Although Phaedra showcases some of Frankes earliest experimentation's with
Moog loops I feel it is the general atmospheric feel to this album that gives
it its unique character. Maybe I will upset a few list members by saying that
in my opinion this album plays like a trial run for Rubycon, but Phaedra is a
very fruitful and interesting learning curve.
I am a great believer in the theory that the general physical characteristics
of the area in which you work is greatly reflected in the output. You can
almost picture the frost forming on the grass at the manor studios as another
short December days ends.
Track Two: Mysterious Semblance
This has always been my favourite track on Phaedra. Quite why the childrens
voices were included at the beginning of this track on the remaster CD as far
as the track separation is concerned I have no idea. Were these vocals at the
end of side one of the vinyl or at the start of part two?
Anyway .... Lovely textures ... quite reminiscent of zeit, excellent use of
the Mellotron.
As much as I hate to compare TD to Jarre, Oxygene in general does have a very
similar feel to this track.
Track Three: Movements Of A Visionary
Technically this piece is probably the best produced track on the album in my
opinion but it doesn't seem to have the vibrancy and feeling consistent in
the rest of the album.
Track Four: Sequent 'C'
I really like this track... simple but very effective ... again very nice
textures.
Overall: An interesting album, an important learning curve the band had to go
through. Ironic that it is to the best of my knowledge still by far there
biggest selling album. In my opinion Rubycon was there first truly
outstanding album ... but thats another story.
Thanks for all the reviews guys, very interesting reading.

I'd have to say either Logos or Pergammon, though Logos is my first choice.
Logos is the first album I ever heard that really made me feel like I had
been a part of the concert. Starting with the enigmatic '...thank you for
being patient...' and ending with the very enthusiastic applause after the
remarkable encore (Dominion). (There's plenty of cool music in between as
well...)

PS: I don't think Poland goes on too long at all. I just have a special
place in my heart for Logos, and the music seems to have more continuity. I

From the live tapes I've heard, Poland is fairly well intact from the actual
concert. The difference is that some previously released material that was
played was removed from the album (and Space on the vinyl was a problem too
I'm sure). Also, according to the TD web page, there were several power
outages during the concert. The equipment was cold enough that it had to
constantly be re-tuned as it warmed up. Also there was a severe ice/snow
storm just prior to the concert which had left several FEET of snow on the
roof of the stadium, threatening to collapse it. If you ask me, this is a
miracle concert, and we should be happy to have the music from it in such
nice form. (And happy that our favorite band survived the experience!)

James,
Nice to know you felt part of the 'Logos' gig.
I was lucky enough to be there and offer you the following memories: 'Thank
you for being patient' came about because the gig started 45 minutes late!
They did two shows at the Dominion that day and the first one finished late.
The applause was enthusiastic as the atmosphere in there was unbelievable -
the bass at the beginning of 'Part 2' vibrated through the seating (at least
in the circle where I was!).
'Dominion' was the last of three encores - the first half of 'Mojave Plan'
came first, then 'White Eagle' (the photo on the cover with planet earth
back projected) then 'Dominion'.
I was also at Shepherd's Bush in November 97, but I don't have a copy of
'Valentine Wheels'.
Take care,
Tony.

Both Synths are in Phaedra. Phaedra starts with an excellent sequence (Moog)

Exactly... I think this is why Edgar tends towards using presets on his
modern digital synths. The Mellotron is considered
the first sampler and I think that the modern digital synths with hundreds
or even thousands of presets represents the same thing. I think the sound
Edgar likes the most comes from an acoustic birth -- like the harpsichord,
guitar, violin and piano. Jarre differs in that most of his work is through
electronic means and he accomplishes a more surreal electronic sound by
moving away from more acoustic instruments.
Funny how things shifted. Chris seems to have adopted the electric/acoustic
idea in his Babylon soundtracks. But he tends to use actual real acoustic
sources rather then electrically faked (I think I heard this about how he
communicates and records with an orchestra during composing through a long
distance direct tele-wire.)

Hallo Dreamers!
James, I have to agree, I think that Poland is a masterpiece, what other
'songs' did they play during that evening?
You must consider that this was before they all hooked up on the Steinberg
Sequencer software, so they were still triggering each others customized
sequencers. Quite staggering sequencer-loops there, nicely blended together
with the crystalclear PPG´s and the powerful
Jupiter 8´s and so on and so on....Poland is absolutely magnificent!!

While we're on the subject of live albums, I'd just like to say that my
favourites are 'LiveMiles' and 'Valentine Wheels', the former because it is
so different to their other albums and has a kind of 'icy coolness' about
it, and the latter because of the smooth 'bridges' between the tracks,
little gems in themselves.

Subject: Miscellany
1) Favourite live albums: Whilst Poland is probably the most evocative - try
listening to it through headphones on the train - I think 220 volts is
absolutely AWESOME. Mind you, there may be some reason why you guys don't
class it as a live album - I'm not as clued up on all the detail as many of
you seem to be.
2) Productivity: I find listening to any non-verbal music enhances my
productivity, especially when I'm keyboard bashing (programming or
writing reports). Obviously, I don't need to tell you what the best non-
verbal music in the world is! I found this out when I lived in a noisy hall
of residence at uni.
3) Headphones: I definitely agree that the best way to pick up every
nuance is to listen through cans - I rarely play TD through speakers,
except when I'm sharing it with friends. Maybe if I had a better system? It
also helps with the productivity enhancement, as it cuts out external noise.
4) Females: don't count me as one - I'm just a tomboy who never grew up!
5) Time marked reviews: I agree, it's a great way of helping someone else
to understand your vision. Unfortunately, an awful lot of my TD collection
is on tape (or taped from my own vinyl), so it doesn't help me personally.
6) Goblin's Club: thanks for prodding me into giving it another listen! I don't
usually rate TD albums as being better than one another - I have days when I
want to listen to Zeit, and I have days when I want to listen to Hyperborea -
it's just that there are more of the latter than the former! Goblin's Club
isn't one I listen to very often: it seems 'bitty' to me, with some good ideas
incompletely worked out. But I particularly like 'Elf June' and 'Rising haul'.
Dream on!

Subject: Re: Live albums
For me Livemiles is the one. It is in fact my favourite album overall let
alone my favourite live album. It contains dark, mysterious, beautifully
layered sequences that connect together as fluidly as TD have ever done.
Granted that this is due to touching up in the studio and adding link
sections but I think that is what makes it so cohesive.
It is unique to the music of TD where many of the album favourites are live
albums, as with most bands the tendency is for the live albums to the least
liked. This is certainly the case for me as Poland and Ricochet would also
appear in my top 10 favourites.
However I still have not yet heard Pergamon, although I will rectify that
situation soon.

That's why I tend to call TD an 'electronic rock band', or anything like
that. They use a lot of acoustic instruments, but they know exactly how to
blend acoustics and electronics. Jarre is a 'true' electronic composer. He
rarely uses acoustic instruments (he did in Chronologie, but that was
Patrick Rondat's electric guitar.)
Just some lines I wanted to add to this thread. :)

Subject: D:Studio [Phaedra]
Another long and somewhat late review from me. Last weekend was busy and I
had no chance to write (which can take some time when you're verbose).
I've had this album for a while and listened to it many times, unlike the
other two I've reviewed so far, but I'm not sure if that'll make a difference
in how I write about it.
---
1. Phaedra
From the very beginning, it's clear that this is something different from the
previous albums. It opens with a bit of ambience, and a couple of odd sounds
come and go fairly quickly. A sort of bubbling or flowing sequence plays for
a moment before solidifying into an eerie melody. (It's a melody by my
standards, anyway--there was a brief debate about this on the old list.)
Chimes and wavering chords punctuate the atmosphere. The sequence is joined
by some nice Mellotron sounds--not as nice as the ones on, say, 'Rubycon,'
but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Does anybody know what produces that morphing tone that comes in at about
3:35? Regardless, it's cool. I can't imagine how futuristic this must have
seemed in 1974 (I wasn't around then).
Everything quiets down for the bass guitar (that's what I assume it is,
anyway--the liner notes refer to a 'guitar-bass'), and after a bit of that, a
new, shorter sequence appears and is joined by various blips and bleeps. I
think I'm on a spaceship of some sort now. The sequence changes a bit and
starts moving from ear to ear. Something that sounds like a heavily filtered
guitar goes flying by, and then there's more bass guitar (I think?) playing
along with the Moog. It's starting to get pretty intense, especially with
that deep buzz coming in every few moments. The sequence keeps changing until
I have no idea what's going on, and then it starts to rise and rise until it
explodes in a frenzy of oscillation.
A beautiful Mellotron sound shows up for just a moment, and then it gets
quiet, with a few noises echoing past at intervals. The 'quiet with noises'
theme goes on for a couple minutes, and then, gradually, my favorite part
gets going. I LOVE the ending to this track. Unlike many of the tracks on
'Zeit' and 'Atem,' which just faded away when their time was up, 'Phaedra'
makes it clear that it's leaving by way of a long and grandiose outro. This
ending challenges the intro to 'Atem' in terms of majesty and general
hugeness, though it is significantly more subdued. The final chord is
spine-tingling. This is easily my favorite track on the album.
---
2. Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares
I have the SBM version of the album, so the extremely faint sounds of
children open this track rather than closing the previous one. There isn't
too much to say about them, but then the Mellotron strings come in. Spacey
whooshes and rumblings and oscillations underline the Mellotron chords (even
if in space no one can hear you whoosh).
At about 5:20, the background sounds disappear, and some additional Mellotron
lines (I think; I have no expertise in this area, but that's what it sounds
like to me) fill their place, taking the melody in a somewhat different and
more conventional direction, but a minute later, it returns to the original
theme. Some more overtly electronic sounds fill the space around the
Mellotron. From this point on, it doesn't change too much. It's a good way to
spend 11 minutes, but not a favorite.
---
3. Movements of a Visionary
One of my favorite ambient artists, Dilate, sampled the first few seconds of
this track and used them on two of his pieces ('Farewell' and 'Terrace
Serpent'). Apart from that factoid, I don't find the intro too exciting. But
soon, a really unique sequence shows up. The weird effects from the beginning
have more impact on me with this flowing sequence backing them up. As the
sequence starts to change a bit, a great organ line comes in, reminding me of
one of my favorite TD-related pieces, Edgar's 'Upland.' An interesting
keyboard (electric piano?) comes in around 3:45 and plays a rather attractive
tune. The sequence continues to change, the organ continues to be cool, and
in general, this track is fascinating me. After a few more minutes,
everything goes quiet as some sporadic sound effects bring about the ending.
The track could stand to be a bit longer, but apart from that, I love it.
---
4. Sequent C'
A bit of flute atmosphere to close the album. It's nice, but it's short. (On
a side note, I always assumed the C' meant 'C prime,' not that it makes much
sense in the context. I haven't had any musical training beyond piano
lessons, so the alternate interpretation escaped me.)
---
All in all, 'Phaedra' is not just an important album, but a very entertaining
one as well. I don't think anybody needs me to recommend it, but I will
anyway.

Well, I've only seen the webpage (didn't download his music).
Hmmm...I don't know - personally I don't like CDs/cassettes
where a big picture of the artist is on it.
It's okay (imo) to put in somewhere else (backcover/inside).
Second...I don't know who made this page.
If it is himself then I find it very strange that he calls
his music beautiful and wonderful. If it's a fanpage then
it's probably okay. I personally would never say in my
web-page that I make beautiful music...thats for the listener
to decide.
These are just my thoughts.

You must be speaking of the earlier live performances; up to and

guitar riffs and the 'live' sax parts seem to be very much in the can --
virtually note for note.
As someone in the 'other' list said some years ago, ' At the
concert Edgar and Jerome showed up and played their Midi-files for us.'
What is this 'Live Feel?'
Don't get me wrong, I like the live albums, but the older ones,
where they were obviously struggling, had so much more pizzazz.

Live's yes, solo's no. The solo albums will be a separate discussion

Bear in mind that there is an enormous amount of solo work if you

When I was involved with DREAMS WORD magazine, I remember seeing this guy's
ads in some older issues of the mag. He was from Portland, Oregon (where DW
originated, not-so-coincidentally where I live). I never met him, don't know
anything about him other than that. He definitely did seem to like posting
his face prominently in the ads - my guess is the webpage is his, though I
haven't checked it out.

Subject: D:Studio [Rubycon]
Well, this one isn't so late. I've been looking forward to reviewing this, my
favorite TD album (and my favorite album in general, by anyone).
---
1. Rubycon (part one)
It starts with some wobbling chords, and some low bells. Something sounding a
little like an oboe plays an exploratory little tune, as the intervals
between the wobbles and bells shorten. A flutelike sound replaces the 'oboe,'
and then, just before the two-minute mark, comes an amazing sound. A chorus
sings a note, and then the most beautiful chord ever floats in on Mellotron
strings, with what sound like simulated whales joining in. Glorious. It's
joined by a restrained lead melody (I'm not sure what kind of instrument it
comes from) and some electronic bleeping, and this theme lasts a few
minutes. That vocal sound returns with some nice chords of its own.
About six minutes in, it all goes quiet. A low synth drone appears, with some
eerie sounds echoing above it. At 7:15, the best sequence ever gets going,
deep and powerful. Stirring Mellotron strings accompany the sequence. I
envision an alien landscape, icy and deep blue, lit only by... I don't know,
actually. Something blue. My mental picture isn't detailed enough. (Perhaps
the planet is near the Witch Head Nebula.)
The bit that plays at about 10:30 (and repeats a couple of times later on) is
really powerful. It's hard to describe, though. A buzzing sound grows louder
and louder until it releases in a sound that I can't associate with anything
that exists in reality. The intensity is growing, and the sequence is
starting to warp. More Mellotron strings show up around 11:30. I really love
those. The overall effect is very dramatic. Something vaguely drum-esque
augments the rhythm.
Eventually, the sequence suddenly slows. This amazing piece of music is
starting to wind down. There's not too much to say about the ending; it's not
too abrupt, but it's not the dramatic exit of 'Phaedra.' But the beginning
and middle of the track more than make up for the nondescript ending, and on
the whole, part one is my favorite of the two. Easily my favorite piece of
music in the world.
---
2. Rubycon (part two)
This one takes some time to get going. The beginning sounds a bit like a
slowed-down siren. Some eerie Mellotron voices eventually replace the siren.
There isn't a whole lot happening. I think what comes in next might be the
instrument that reminded me of synth-horns in my 'Atem' review. Finally, at
about 4:20, the sounds solidify into a tune. The sequencer plays one
repeating note, which becomes two, then four, and suddenly we're right back
into the sequence-and-Mellotron-strings action. I wasn't too fond of the way
the track opened, but this stuff is great. The sequence continues to get
more complex, and it shifts around rapidly, creating a sensation of exciting
uncertainty (more like the sequences in 'Phaedra' than in part one of this
album).
The mental picture is still otherworldly and deep blue. I think I'd like to
visit that world sometime--I'll be sure to bring a Discman and a copy of 'Ruby
con.'
At some point, the sequencer quiets down a bit and steps into the background
as the Mellotron takes the (blue) spotlight. Soon after, all traces of melody
disappear, replaced by some whooshing (there's that word again!) effects.
They occasionally sound a bit like waves on a beach, but that doesn't fit
with my mental picture, so I'll just imagine that it's wind blowing through
the icy rocks, or something.
As the other instruments return, another pseudo-flute meanders through. The
music starts to return to formless ambience, and it becomes clear that the
journey is, sadly, coming to a close. The final note belongs to the flute.
---
In the end, the only thing I really don't like about 'Rubycon' is its length,
a mere 35 minutes. But then, I can always listen to it twice. As I've said,
this is my favorite album in the world, and I expect it to stay that way.

Subject: Tangents Box Set
I have posted this question to the TDI guestbook about 6 months ago with no
reply. I also just posted a few days ago.My question,which has probably been
answered in some form or the other before.is in regard to the 2 sections of
Rubycon that are supposedly different on this release(the decision) &(crossing
part)..Was there ever a corrected CD issued that had different 'sections'
instead of just the different names? How would I get a 'corrected' CD to
replace the one I have? Thanks in advance for any info

'Craig Chambers' I also recently found an album which may be of interest to TD fans - it's
called 'The New Age of Earth' by a 1-piece band called Ashra.
Ahhh! You are now initiated in the church of Ashra...formerly of the Ash Ra
Tempel.
You now have a journey in front of you to explore the musical bounds of the
man known by his earthly name Manuel, who will be your spiritual leader...
No seriously, Ashra, ART, MG solo...these are IMO some of the best
electronic/guitar (and I mean GUITAR) albums to come out of the Krautrock
scene of the 70s. Check out the early Tempel stuff with Klaus Schulze on a
hellish drumkit (you just thought CF could pound those skins!). Also the
later stuff has its own groove going, especially the two recent live albums
to come out.
Oh and don't forget to try and find 'The Private Tapes', which is a 6 CD set
of early, unreleased and live performances...

Subject: Kosmische Musik
Oh guys, what a hassle I've had getting through to you today! First of all
Netscape communicator crashed, and left itself in some indeterminate state,
unable to get through to the netscapeonline host. So I switched to IE. Tried to
delete some mail, which didn't work and left the mailbox in a right state, so I
can't open that mail client either. However, I could still get through to
onelist using IE. But IE doesn't know my password. I couldn't use the 'forgot
your password' facility, because it sends you a code in an e-mail! So I thought
I'd re-register, using my other e-mail address - but of course, you hae to
respond to an e-mail to complete registration! Finally, I thought to open up my
mail file in a text editor, and found the original registration from onelist
with my password in it - phew!
Guess I'll be spending tomorrow re-installing IE AND Netscape!
Thank Saint Edgar I've got some decent music to calm me down (Pergamon - bought
it today after all the good things you've been saying about it.)
Anyway, what I wanted to ask was: does anybody have an English translation of
the sleeve notes to the Ohr Kosmische Musik sampler (OMM 2/56027)? If you
haven't got it electronically, I'll happily pay copying and postage costs. I'm
sure some of you 'completists' out there will have it. Please?
I've posted my Rubycon review separately: I wrote it earlier before all the
hassle.

This is less of a review, more of a little trip through my head (those of a
nervous disposition should skip to the next post). Sorry I can't time index it,
I don't have it on CD.
Part 1
I'm standing on the shores of a midnight ocean. It's cold, dark, alien. There
are bright white pinpoints of stars above, reflected in the water below.
A surge of sound heralds the sunrise. The sun is huge, but gives no warmth.
Birds cry coldly, greeting the dawn.
It's becoming warmer. The sea is calm. Small waves ripple onto the shore.
There's a gurgling sound from a small stream in the distance.
A choir begins to sing. Gradually all other sight and sound fades away, and I
have become the soaring voices.
I take form again, travelling, unaware of my surroundings but knowing that I'm
descending.
A sustained organ-like note impels me to motion, and I'm running, tirelessly
through a sunlit forest. Simultaneously, I'm aware of a smoothly working,
well-oiled machine running outside of time and space. Am I dreaming of the
machine, or am I the dream of a machine?
I continue to run, powerful, catlike, effortless. Surges of light reveal long
cathedral-like vistas between the trunks of trees.
Now I'm out of the trees, still running, on short upland turf. The
clarinet-like tone suggests a distant view of something indistinct among the
trees below - maybe an overgrown temple, like Angkor Wat? There's a sourceless
tapping.
I'm running still, knowing that I'm near my goal, along a high ridge. I leap, a
swandive into empty air. I soar, volitionless, neither falling nor flying, in
the cool fresh air beside a mile high waterfall.
Part 2
Soaring again, but now the updraft is hot, ominously so. From below I hear the
night cry of a cat, and then the sound of birds - tormented doves?
Now I hear voices - the cries of doomed souls, or an anthem for an alien god?
Again, I am subsumed into the voices, and am nothing but sound.
Now a remote consciousness, I enter a vast hall, heralded by sonorous tones.
The hall is full of engines, working smoothly. There's an occasional blast of
steam. The machines are all black iron and shining copper. Pistons pump,
dripping oil.
Now I'm tending one of the machines. My movements are smooth, dancing,
ritualistic.
I'm running again, along the shore line. The footing isn't sand, something firm
but yielding. I splash through a shallow stream as it spreads across the shore.
Dusk begins. I'm running more and more lightly, scarcely making contact with
the ground. Finally I'm aloft, leaving the world behind. Bathed in the
interstellar tides, I long for the shore I've left behind. I feel cold and
alone.
I view new stars and constellations, the birth of stars, the movements of the
galactic clouds. Gradually the universe begins to feel warmer, and I know I
belong there.
(For Heaven's sake, don't show this to a psychiatrist!)
This album is very precious to me. This is partly because of what was happening
in my life when I really got into it. But it's also because the mental pictures
it evokes are so powerful, I can get high as a kite on fresh air. If I could
only listen to one album for the rest of my life, I think this might well be it.
Dream on

a certain soundtrack is being offered with a release date of 12/31/99 so

Are there really plans to release it to more than a few hundred?

I admit I haven't heard the Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack, but I think the TD
music has just the right ethereal, folklorish quality to it. The
instrumentation gives it a 'magical' effect that just doesn't translate well
from traditional instruments. I hadn't really noticed any 'asian' sounds
specifically, just the usual TD sound processing. Some might interpret this
as 'asian', but I tend to think of it as doing magic with sound. I also
can't imagine watching the movie without the SPECTACULAR vocal 'Loved by the
Sun' at the end. I think this is one of TD's finest pieces, even if they
weren't happy with someone else adding lyrics to it. Jon Anderson has just
the right vocal quality to really top off the excellent musical score.
I think the Unicorn Theme in general has just the right blend of mystical
and majestic elements that perfectly describe a Unicorn with music.

Don't forget the Klaus Schulze classic 'In Blue' with the 45-minute track
'Return of the Tempel'...this is a seq/synth orgy overlaid with some of
Manuel Gottsching's most intense guitar work. A true return to 'classic'
form for both artists! (Plus the other 100+ minutes of KS solo on this
release ain't bad either).

This is my last notice for anyone interested in the RARE Tangerine Dream A
TIME FOR HEROES lmtd edition collectors CD. I've put it up for auction over
at Ebay and I've only had two bids. The reserve's been met, so it's there for
whoever wants it. Just thought I'd mention it as I've heard a lot of folks
are looking for it.
Thanks for reading.
As for the live albums, I guess I'd have to venture to say that I like TD's
'live' albums better than most of the studio ones. RICOCHET, ENCORE, LOGOS,
POLAND, LIVEMILES and 220 VOLT are all excellent imho. I couldn't choose one
of these. I wish TD had stuck to the formula of only releasing new material
on the LIVE albums, Valentine Wheels and Tournado were pretty pointless to a
fan that buys all the studio stuff.

The unicorn theme being, unfortunately, the only piece from LEGEND that I
know, I have to agree wholeheartedly. Being a self-confessed fantasy nerd as
well as TD fan, I find this particular composition very inspiring. It helps
me think of new storylines for stories, scenarios, and games. I really can't
get enough of this style of TD music.

Subject: D:Studio [Rubycon]
This album is the perfection of what was hinted at in Phaedra.
Not nearly as raw but IMHO even more evocative of deep space.
Rubycon has THE BEST BASS SOUND EVER RECORDED. That is not
my humble opinion, that is scientifically proven fact. ....
They certainly achieved an excellence in their sound here.
I think this album balances the earlier artistic tendencies with
a superior level of recorded sound. I mean the production of
this album takes a Quantum leap over the rather harsh sound
of the albums we have discussed up to now. For example check
out the wash of sound that appears at about :56 to 1:21. Side A.
This to me sounds like piano drenched in reverb with perhaps some
volume swells on the fader. Listen to how every element on
this album comfortably fits with the sounds around it. Nothing jars
the ears in a fingernail-on-chalkboard sort of way, and yet this is no
yanni-melodic-noodling-happy-music, this is visionary and vital,
not compromising their position in any way. Imagine the freedom
they must have felt to go into a higher class studio with the backing
of a relatively popular album behind them (I.E., label support)
Now they could really fulfill their dreams. This music vibrates the
excitement in a very tangible way. I get a contact high every time I listen
to it! Some highlights for me : The haunting oboe melody
at about 9:04 side A, 11:43 side A - now strangely enough TD has
always had a very deep space feel to me in their sounds, but this one always
reminded me of a typewriter....14:58 side A the Bass changes
and fades among washes of prepared piano very psychedelic, and
strange to think of, very acoustic...Side B intro, now this is fun to
review this close to Halloween very ghostly, complete with mock
theremin sounds. Nice how they did the panning, or moving the
sounds around the stereo field. This gives way to a really rocking
stonking bassline. I love how they revisited the Mellotron through
a phaser effect that is a prominent part of Phaedra.
6:35 side B this is prime Chris Franke Bass sequence manipulation.
He really shines here, remember, he was a drummer originally,
so he really is responsible for the flesh and blood, or the earth
of TD, this bass sound is pure rock and roll energy. Fantastic.
I really don't think Chris gets the respect he deserves for making
TD what it was. (Standing ovation from me.)
In a perfect world this would have been a double album.
One of the best Albums ever made. That simple.

I'd just like to echo the other Craig's comments regarding Ashra's (and Ash ra
Tempel's) works. For the uninitiated, Virgin's sampler Sunrain offers some
choie moments from the three main 70s albums : New Age of Earth, Blackouts and
Correlations.
As for Gottsching solo, I think E2-E4 is an excellent album - full of seqnecers
and excellent guitar work. I'd also recommend his 1976 collaboration with
Michael Hoenig, released in the 1990s as Early Water.

Dan, I know exactly how you feel. However, as many people on the list may

It was less money than at the store (including shipping) & have been doing
it ever since. The only thing preventing me from completing my collection

Money! LOL

Because TD has *so* many albums, most stores (even the ones with a
good selection) only carry a portion of it at any given time. So I
totally recommend shopping on line. I do it all the time, and I've never
had a problem. It's reasonably fast and cheap, and you can get just
about every TD album that's still in print. The only drawback is that
it's addictive, and you may end up spending too much money!

I have this release and I like it very much. Anyone interested in it should get
a copy a.s.a.p.! There were only 500 pressed and unless sales pick up
significantly
there may not be a second pressing. Definately a worthwhile purchase in my
opinion.
I can post a brief review of it if anyone is interested.

You mean the quality of recording or the quality of the sounds/ambience?
I agree with the latter...but I think the recording is one of their
'worst' (probably not the right word).
But then again, maybe it's the 'bad' recording quality that we like so much.
(okay of course its also the music!)
Maybe we shouldn't be so obsessed these days by how the recording
will sound like (quality-wise) but how the music will sound like.
Hmm do I make any sense here? :-)
Very short review from me:
When I first heard it, and it was my first TD record, I didn't liked it
at all. All these strange sounds and little melody...but I worked my
way back from lets say Tiger and then loved it!
It makes images of strange places, other worlds. But also of nightmares
imo. This isn't your 100th average new age record, no this is full of power
(maybe dark power?).
In the first track I just love when there's just one continues note played
and the sequencer comes in and the mellotron is played on top...now this
is electronic music at its best. Just simple, but at the same time not? :-)
I could go on, but its just a great record...just as every record they made
till lets say 83. They are all winners in my book.

Not really. It's more a medley out of tunes/riffs from TD ca. 75-85.
>> Any opinions from other readers who have heard this release ?
Not only the same instruments/sound patches are used he shamelessly
copied full fragments of original TD tracks. There are quite a few chord
progressions,
100% identical to the original. It sounds so shamelessly copied that it is
really good again, IMO.
:-)
(I know Marcel will have to agree here).
When I've got an early mix from the first track without knowing who actually
did it,
I've asked on several mailing lists for help including the now defunkt
tadream list at cs.uwp.edu
until a friend of Rob Essers (the producer of the CD) correctly identified
it.
As you can see I really liked it then and still think it is a good album.
> I wonder if Edgar considers it a tribute or otherwise ?
Not as tribute - Edgar surely misses the tangentizing (*) bits on it. ;-)
On a sidenote - there seemed to be another TD tribute done by Can Attila
available and released by Midas music once. This one obviously
is a hommage to TD of the 90s. Not really liking most of what TD did in the
90s
I've never got to listen to it, though.
Hope this helps
Jens
(*) that's adding layers of pads and stuff to music some years after it is
originally
recorded - sometimes to good effort (Phaedra on 'Tangents'), sometimes
to not so good effort - at least in the opinion of many.
np: TD - Rubycon - searching for those good bass bits Paul Ellis and others
were raving about. ;-) I for one rate it lower as Phaedra, Ricochet,
Stratosfear, Encore. Still good stuff. :-)

Good question, would be interesting to listen to his other stuff -
he's got obviously a lot of musical/technical talent - at least he's a
brilliant arranger.
TD - bit. I found an interview with Peter Baumann in the last KLEM magazine,
he seemed to be featured in that Electrobeat radio programme in Berlin
but I never noticed anything about that interview on the tadream lists.
Unfortunately KLEM is in Dutch, a scan won't serve many.

Steven,
Here is the recipe:
You gave 'Rubycon' a couple of listen. That was phase 1.
Now put the record aside. Do not think about it; just go
about your life. Forget about it.
In a few weeks, perhaps months, you'll have this after effect,
a strange sensation of soundscapes, and you'll feel empty for
not being able to identify them. You'll wake up at night,
just out of a dream, thinking that you just were about to
recapture the essence. You'll go nuts. That's phase 2.
Don't fight the madness, but resit until phase 3 before getting
the record in the sound system.
Then (that's phase 3) put the CD on, and do not really listen
to it, use it like background music for something else you're
doing -- but something that is quiet, like reading. Notice how
you mind keeps wandering from what you're doing? That's
Rubycon getting under your skin, boring right through your brain,
establishing itself. Now you're hooked. Hear those sequencers
beating, giving texture to a strange melody, one that remains the
same but keeps changing ever so slightly every second. Feel how you
miss the last second but can't wait for the next, walking through
a path that is so familiar yet ever different.
Then (phase 4), write back to us telling us you've seen the light,
concluding that you could not live without Rubycon, that is desserves
to be OUT of the Armin scale; that it simply IS.
Next, repeat this whole process with Ricochet.
That's the experiecne I went through. I cannot claim that it
went like that for everybody. It's been over 20 years already,
Rubycon and Ricochet are not albums I am likely to get over
anytime soon.

if you have a Border's Books and Music you should try them. although
they are at the higher end of the price scale they have the largest selection

right up to the new one 'Archetecture in Motion' on Miramar. good luck. tom

So I take it that Architecture in Motion was indeed released in America

think back to previous Miramar releases, this should not have been
surprising).

Gustavo, you may want to look on the wall where they have alot of Box sets
also, because when I was there last they had copies of 5CD box 'Tangents'

UK proggers Legend's title track to their _Triple Aspect_ CD runs 29:29. The
upcoming Neal Morse/Mike Portnoy/Pete Trewavas/Roine Stolt project
apparently features a 30-minute track, as well.

TD, at least, gave 'Caspian Sea' its name. It appears right at the
beginning of the (incomplete) playlist of the Berlin '87 show. So,
'Caspian Sea' is the first 'movement' of Livemiles pt. 2.

This actually happened with Force Majeure, Le Parc, Live Miles,
Tyger, Dead Solid Perfect, Catch Me If You Can, Poland (get the
idea?).
I have always wanted to bring this point up anyway. Why is it
that most of seem to agree that we need to go through exactly
what Vincent recommends for some TD CDs? I do not remember how
many times I have read posts saying 'it took me a long time to
get into this CD'.

That is what happened with Part 2. It made a definite
impression, just not a positive one.

I will of course follow your advice sir. The thing is, there are
certain TD CDs that I have LOVED on the 1st listen & some take
months even years. Others (wait till we get to them & all you
guys & gal will think I am nuts :p ), I just do not like, no
matter how many chances I have given them. Sooo....

Actually, of the music I am missing (Ricochet, Cyclone & a couple

immediately.

<< You mean the quality of recording or the quality of the sounds/ambience?
I agree with the latter...but I think the recording is one of their
'worst' (probably not the right word).
* Really? I think their albums up to this point had a harsh edge (EQ, or
lack thereof) I also think the sounds fit together in a more 'thought out'
or composed way. Also Rubycon to my ears sounds good on every
system I've heard it on, from el cheapo car stereo to high level tube amps.
That's my criteria for a good recording. What exactly don't you like about it?
But then again, maybe it's the 'bad' recording quality that we like so much.
(okay of course its also the music!)
* Part of what we tend to like about analog (Vs. digital) recordings is a
distortion in the even harmonics. It's a distortion, but is pleasing to our
ears. ( I know not everybody sees it that way, but generally people think
of analog as 'warm' and digital as 'sterile', or 'clinical')
Maybe we shouldn't be so obsessed these days by how the recording
will sound like (quality-wise) but how the music will sound like.
Hmm do I make any sense here? :-)
* Of course. I feel strongly that the music is always more important than
the medium. (As in I'd rather hear a scratchy old vinyl recording of Django
Rhienhardt than a CD of the Spice girls) However, I think it obvious that
when you can have both great music and superior recording techniques
That will produce the best results.

I can recommend Ash Ra Tempels' first 3 albums (Ash Ra Tempel, Schwingungen,
Join Inn). The first song from the debut album (Amboss) really blows me away.
What guitars!
What drums! A 20-minute freakout orgy. Closely followed by the
out-of-this-world beauty of 'Jenseits', the B-side of the 'Join Inn' album.
This track is on par with the best Klaus Schulze albums from that era (Irrlicht
& Cyborg). Recorded the same month like TD's 'Atem', this one is one of the best
albums ever to come out of Germany (IMHO, of course).
The Ashra albums I like best are 'New age of earth', 'Blackouts' and 'Belle
Alliance'.
I really like the almost 'un-german' laid back and easiness one can hear
throughout the tracks. Perfect music for your car hi-fi!
But be aware of the fact that both groups do sound very different from each
other. Ash Ra Tempel was more a sort of 'Cosmic space rock' group whereas Ashra
was more into electronic music.
Heiko
P.S.: I wanted to give a review of Rubycon...but everything's already been said
about that great album. I remember buying it as a 14-year old back in 1983.
Those early TD albums really changed my musical tastes for the better. Next
week's topic is 'Richochet'...ahh, sweet memories of youth ;-)

Hey there all. Wanted to pop a quick THANKS for all the helpful advice.
Quick note. There isn't a Blockbuster Music here that sells that large of a
quantity, BUT there is a Borders Books within a 30 mile radius. Wasn't too
concerned with the price, more than finding the Cds themselves (GRIN)< but
knowing that Borders is good, how about Media Play? There is one about 90
miles from my house (I visit friends out that way every month, BUT Media
Play is about 15 miles out of the way), worth the trip? I've heard good and
bad about it.
Am also (thanks again for the info from Pittsburgh) going to CD Now and
attempting to do online ordering. You are correct, there is a larger
percentage of theft in a Cd shop or a retail store than online as there are
more limited amounts of people online that handle your information (or so
I'm told), so thanks for the help. I'll let ya know what I find.

P.S. AND just curious again about the trading of live shows? Anyone
interested, please e-mail me. I KNOW you can't buy that stuff in the stores

Media Play has been a good option around Atlanta. They've generally been
cheaper than Tower or Borders, but *most* of the time, they have a good
selection of TD, especially when something's just been released. However,
I've noticed their not very good about refreshing back-catalogues of
E-music after it's been out for a while. Every so often you'll find a gem
there...

Another album that I haven't heard in a long time. I'm actually quite
looking forward to this after the surprise that I actually quite liked
Phaedra.
Rubycon (1975)
1. Rubycon Part One
(Edgar Froese - mellotron, guitar, vcs3 synthi: Chris Franke - double
moog synthesizer, synthi A, organ, modified elka organ, prepared
piano: Peter Baumann - organ, synthi A, e-piano, prepared piano)
2. Rubycon Part Two
(Chris Franke - double moog synthesizer, gong, synthi A, organ: Edgar
Froese - organ, mellotron, guitar, gong, vcs3 synthi: Peter Baumann -
e-piano, organ, synthi A, voice, arp 2600)
This is first time I've been a bit late posting my own thoughts on an
album, and as such have had the benefit of reading everyone else's
comments. They surprised me really, as most of you heralded this album
as the TD holy grail. I don't think it's all that good. (Asbestos suit
on! :-p )
Sure, there are some really excellent segments on this album (such as
the segment from 7:10 to 15:10 on track 1 which absolutely rocks -
admittedly almost half of the track! - and the segment from 9:00 to
11:40 on track 2 - can anyone tell my favourite bits are the
sequences? :-) )
Many people say that the first Redshift album is a complete rip of
this album, but in truth I prefer Redshift to this. It is not IMO as
so many of you describe, TD's finest hour (or perhaps that should be
TD's finest slightly more than half an hour), but I will admit that it
does have some of their finest moments encapsulated within.
As to the cover, don't you just love those droplet photo's? And the
colour is gorgeous. Probably one of my favourite TD covers (though a
lot is lost on the transition from gatefold album to SBM CD
cover....). Simple yet very effective.

Lawry

Someone probably long since answered this, as I'm a couple days behind on my

Well, I'll keep this brief, especially since I listened to Rubycon last week,
and didn't write down my impressions at the time.
This has always been one of my favorites, but I've come to realize over the
last couple of years that Rubycon Part 1 carries my 5AS rating. I think Part
1 is just about as perfect as emusic gets - with the possible exception of
next week when we discuss Ricochet.
Part 2, on the other hand, has that bleep-bloop quality to the sequencer
pattern that seems a little cheesy, and it goes on WAY to long - I'm talking
about the part that goes on for several minutes just after the cool spooky
part. What really drew my attention to this were the HORRIBLE (IMO) versions
of Rubycon on Tangerine Ambience 2 (uh, he's not on this list, is he? hope
not). I mean, that up and down sequencer just goes on and on and on, way too
forward in the mix, to the point I said, 'no way, this isn't Rubycon.' And I
went and played Part 2 and said, 'hmm, I guess maybe it is.'
Ok, it's not THAT bad, I still think most of Part 2 is very good. But that
part in the middle drags a bit. I probably should lower it to 4AS - but part
1 is SO good, that I'm sticking to my 5AS.
Again, I probably sounded harsher on Part 2 than I intend, it's just that one
part, and all IMO, of course.

According to a letter Edgar wrote to BEYOND THE HORIZON, the track
duplication would be fixed in the event of a reprint. I don't believe

Just one word of advice to anyone buying ART
albums on CD: AVOID THE TWOFERS ON PURPLE
PYRAMID. There's two different twofers they've
put out, one has I Schwingungen (or whatever it
is) and one has Join Inn (I think the other two
albums involved are Starring Rosi and 7 Up, but I
forget what combination the albums are arranged
in). Everything is taken from vinyl source, and
several of the tracks are shortened, in
comparison to the versions on the various Spalex
releases. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra
cash and go for the Splaxex issues of these
albums!

D'OH!
I bought this a couple of months ago - Join Inn and Starring Rosi. I did wonder
how they managed to get 2 albums into 75 minutes of music, but assumed they
made albums the same length as TD (i.e. about 34 minutes). Oh well, at least it
acts as a nice 'sampler' introduction to their music, which isn't like Ashra at
all, as someone already pointed out.

You should get Ricochet as soon as possible! It's a must have classic TD
album. I've bought the 'definitive' version of Ricochet in 15.10.1999 and I
play it at least once, every day.
And it's extremely good.

Yes, I know... Last time I went there I found that other 5 CD box.. What

Unfortunately, these boxes are toooo expensive for me to buy now. (I don't
work yet, and I have to ask (sic) for money.) But I'm still discovering TD
- all I have is Phaedra LP, Rubycon LP, Ricochet definit.ed., Stratosfear

I agree about Ricochet, it's just wonderful.
Now Rubycon... It's very very good, but I think my favorite studio is

I ordered RICH & CYC (Can you guys figure it out? :) for less
than $20.00 (including shipping) TEE HEE!!
Actually, a couple of more CDs & I basically got a relatively
(IMO) complete collection (excluding singles & 'dreams'=boots &
impossible to locate CDs :).
So I will hopefully have the pleasure of listening to Ricochet as
a 'virgin' (Don't Start!).
To the most beautiful moment in life,, Better than the deed,
better than the memory, the moment... of anticipation!

That happens because some of TD's albums are very difficult, at least for
me, a late 90s-00s generation 16 almost 17-year-old e-listener. I had to
listen to Phaedra for about 2 weeks to like it. Rubycon is taking a little
longer for me to get into, perhaps because the LP I bought is a little tooo
old and scratched. Some albums, like Force Majeure, I liked at the 1st
time, when listening to them at the store, before buying. When I first
heard FM, I couldn't undo an uncomfortable grin... Other albums I liked at
the 1st listen were White Eagle - Midnight in Tula was my first favourite
TD track -, Poland and Ricochet, and Stratosfear. Those 7 albums are all
that I have from TD. :)

Just out of curiosity, why haven't you tried out some more recent TD
albums? You do have a CD player, don't you? :) Since you're a recent TD
fan, you might like some of the more modern TD albums that aren't always
appreciated by long-time fans. (No offense intended to anyone.) You
might want to pick up Dream Mixes and/or Oasis. They're good
representations of a wide range of 90's styles.
Just doing my 90's TD pitch again, folks. ;)
Regards,
Jared
P. S. Speaking of Dream Mixes, I recently got the Dream Mixes import box
set. I had had only the Video Dream Mixes DVD previously. Boy, is there
a difference in sound quality! The DVD sounds worse than bad MP3
compression, whereas the Dream Mixes CDs are top-notch. Image
Entertainment sure did a lousy DVD mastering job. The DVD sound is PCM,
48khz, so it should sound *at least* as good as the CDs. But anyways...
thought some of you might be interested to find that out.

Well, I suppose it's not bad for someone who's
just hearing the band for the first time, but I
recall that something like 2-3 minutes was
missing from the Join Inn material. Yes, the
albums (or at least the ones I have) are in the
+/- 35 minute area of length, so they are kinda
short. Thing is Purple Pyramid seems incapable of
reissuing anything without messing it up. They've
messed up the various Brainticket releases
they've put out (actually managing to mix up the
masters for Voyage and Adventure, so when you
bought one, you were actually getting the other,
and inserting pauses between the tracks on
Celestial Ocean) and leaving a track of the Steve
Howe Mothballs CD they put out. I can't remember
what else they've messed up. Basically, the thing
to remember with Purple Pyramid is two words:
caveat emptor.

Well, the studio version is something like 9

TANGERINE DREAM IN CONCERT, OCTOBER 1975
The concerts are Tangerine Dream's first in Britain, since their
very successful tour in November 1974 -- except for the group's
sell-out appearance at the Royal Albert Hall in April.
One unique feature of the tour is the concerts in the
cathedrals. Tangerine Dream have already played in major European
cathedrals in Rheims last December and in Munich in April. Asked
why Tangerine Dream had planned the cathedral dates, leader Edgar
Froese said: 'The most important reason is that we prefer doing
special memorable events rather than a series of concerts.
Cathedrals have incredible acoustic possibilities, particularly
because most of them were built when amplification did not exist.
In no way are we attempting to create religious events, however, in
these buildings the atmosphere is more condusive to concentration
than elsewhere -- and our music demands concentration. The
intrinsic beauty of cathedrals goes without saying, and it is sad
these buildings are under utilized. Tangerine Dream consider it
something of an honour to be given permission to perform in
cathedrals. Representatives of the group have been liaising closely
with the cathedral authorities, and will continue to do so.
The concerts outside the cathedrals will likewise be special
events. Where space allows, the group will employ a contemporary
dancer, who will improvise to the music. The amazing potential of
blending Tangerine Dream's music with contemporary dancing was
proved last November, when the Ballet Rambert used 'Phaedra' for a
performance on BBC 2's Second House.
Tangerine Dream will be bringing over a wealth of new
equipment, far more than they employed at the recent Albert Hall
concert. As usual, full quadraphonic sound will be used whenever
the facilities of the halls allow.
Tangerine Dream are generally considered to be at their best
in a concert setting: as Steve Lake of Melody Maker has commented
-- 'Live, the sophistication of their approach invariably
convinces.'
Immediately following their U.K. tour, Tangerine Dream leave
for Los Angeles where they will see William Friedkin (Director of
'The French Connection' and 'The Exorcist') and discuss the
recording of the soundtrack for his next film. Concert dates in the
States are then planned, followed by visits to Japan and Australia.
The instrumentation of Tangerine Dream is:
Edgar Froese:
Mellotron 400 Mellotron Mark 5 (new model with double tape set
and double keyboard), Farfisa 400 double keyboard organ,
Farfisa electric piano, VCS3 synthesizer with EMS sequenzer
and EMS keyboard, Moog sequenzer.
Peter Baumann:
Farfisa double keyboard organ (first model) Farfisa organ
(professional model, Fender Rhodes electric piano, Mellotron
400, Elka electric string organ, two AKS synthesizers with
touch keyboards (EMS), ARP synthesizer 2600 with keyboard,
Moog sequenzer.
Christoph Franke:
Modified AKS synthesizer (EMS), Elka electronic string organ,
two Moog 300 P synthesizers (big models) with two 4-Moog
synthesizers (modified), ARP 3600, Farfisa organ Professional
model, Mellotron 400, special-built computer-operated rhythm
controller.

THE ECSTASY WITHOUT THE AGONY
Tangerine Dream under the microscope. Karl Dallas discusses their
contribution to modern music
Prologue
The vibration of the wire over the pick-up creates a changing
electrical potential according to the length of the wire and the
speed of its vibration. This potential is carried along conductors
to a complex assemblage of semi-conductors, potentiometers and
other electronic circuitry, whence it is conducted to a transducer,
from which is emitted a sound, the frequency of which is directly
related to the speed and length of the vibrating string -- which
may be varied at will.
It is possible, by the use of variable filters, to so modify
the sound that almost vocal impressions may be aroused in the
hearer: the crying of a baby, for instance, or the wailing of a
banshee. If it is connected with a revolving tape loop, the person
who lengthens or shortens the wire and causes it to vibrate, may
have what he has just played repeated so that he is, in effect,
playing with himself. He may therefore, within limits laid down by
the intrinsic noise generated by the control, usually
foot-operated, he may cut off the 'attack' at the beginning of a
sound as he strikes the wire, so that the characteristic nature of
this particular sound source is disguised by changing the apparent
'envelope' of the sound.
Is this a description of a new and particularly inaccessible
piece of multi-million dollar electronic equipment?
No, it's called an electric guitar.
Or try this.
Air is blown through a column across which are stretched cords
of elasticated material which, like the wire ('string' of the
guitar, sound 'high' or 'low' according to whether they are
tightened or slackened. The resultant sound is fed into an acoustic
filter of a virtually infinitely variable shape, so that the
fibrating column of air may be directed against hard or soft
surfaces, flat, rounded, or polymorphous. The resulting filtered
sounds may be used to induce pleasure or to communicate
information.
Easy, isn't it. The answer is the human voice.
The point is that the human voice, and even the circuitry that
has grown up around the electric guitar since T-Bone Walker first
electrified the blues, are regarded as simple because they are
familiar. Conversely, the electronic hardware of synthesizers upon
which a band like Tangerine Dream play is regarded as complicated
because it is unfamiliar.
And yet all of it, from the simplest to the most complex --
and who is to say which is the more complex, the small human brain
or the electronic computer which stores a fraction of the
information in several times the space? -- is designed to produce
a sound, and it is the sound we should be considering, not the
hardware that produces it.
1. They've just deleted Karlheinz Stockhausen's Greatest Hits
At the beginning of Jonathan Cott's book, 'Stockhausen --
Conversations with the composer', the subject quotes a conversation
he had with Suzuki, the Japanese zen philosopher, about what is
natural and what is artificial, and he records the zenman's
rejection of the distinction he was trying to make between older,
'natural' music and this modern 'artificial' stuff with tape
recorders and gadgets. 'You see,' says Stockhausen, 'he took
artificial to be something that is more than merely artful. If
something conflicts with our natural feelings and prevents our
being at one with ourselves, only then would that be artificial. So
a machine, a computer, is a quite natural extension of the brain.
It's like producing a baby.' As we all know from our biology and
physics lessons, everything comes down to electricity in the end.
It was interesting to see that Wilhelm Reich, in his 'The Function
of the Orgasm', uses a diagram to illustrate what he called the
sex-economy energy process, an equilateral triangle with the left
hand side an arrow pointing to the apex, marked 'tension' and the
right-hand side an arrow coming down to the corner of the base,
marked 'relaxation', and that in a book by Daphne Oram, first
director of the BBC's radiophonic workshop, she used a similar
diagram to illustrate the similarity between the electrical
discharge from a capacitor, the creation of a musical note, and a
musical work of art.
'The time taken for a capacitor to discharge its tension may
be a fraction of a second, for a trumpet to play its crochet, a
fraction of an hour,' she wrote. 'As phenomena they strike me as
being surprisingly alike. Each one an interplay of potential,
resistance and time resulting in the release of power. Each is
achieving its effect on the outside world by disciplining the
potential, by creating varying resistance so that the power is
modulated in perceptible, finite time.'
And in describing the pattern of the first side of 'Phaedra',
Christoph Franke of Tangerine Dream used a similar analogy, which
could in itself be symbolized by the shape displayed on an
oscilloscope by a so-called square-wave tone. Indeed, the word
'ramp' he uses, comes from waveform terminology: 'The envelope of
the whole piece is that you have a very slow ramp, having sound
coming from nowhere, at first very abstract and amorphous and then
slowly picking up melodies and rhythms, getting stronger to a
climax, there is a very quick stop at the end of the ramp and then
it goes very slowly up to the end, coming from very noisy sounds,
from very abstract sound to a very harmonic sound,'
There is a problem of terminology, of notation, In an age when
we are coming to the end of musical (and all?) literacy, when each
modern composer creates his own private language to demonstrate
what he is up to, we have to resort to visual images to describe
what we mean. Notes are described as getting 'higher and lower'
when what we mean is that they vibrate faster or slower. Electronic
sounds are described as 'white noise' (the sort of random sounds
you get if you tune an FM radio off the station without operating
the squelch or mute button) and 'pink noise', which means that some
of the frequencies have been filtered out to 'colour' the sound.
What this actually is is the end of the visual symbolism which has
dominated music (eg harmony is the creation of clusters of notes
observed to be in a vertical relationship on a printed stave) since
it became separated out into an art form.
And it is the attempt to elevate electronic music above other
more popular forms which makes the innovations of Stockhausen and
his associates less relevant to the needs of today than the playing
of any rock guitarist. Cornelius Cardew, an old associate, has
taken up a Maoist position on Stockhausen's work which relates his
mysticism (a charge which was once made by Marxists against
Einstein) to support for imperialism, but it is really the stance
of the classical composer which makes his music anti-popular, not
the medium within which he works.
Electronic music can only work if it becomes a popular form,
which means that it needs to fit into a rock context, to my mind.
2. I Like It Because I Can't Understand It
Few new bands have received such a bad press as Tangerine
Dream when they began to be heard in Britain. Steve Lake,
apotheosis of the avant garde, wrote them off as Muzak. The same
critics who had saved their most vitriolic epithets till then for
slagging off Mike Oldfield turned on the Dreamers with the same
adjectival aggro: somnolence, cures for insomnia, amorphousness,
perm any one of three charges. Up until then, electronic music, in
either the popular or classical field, had lived up to Lillian
Roxon's description of the United States of America, who in 1967
had been one of the first rock groups in the world to use
predominantly synthesized sound: ' ... their music was too
contrived, too mechanical, too cerebral.' A sort of negative
Stalinist position was adopted by those critics who might have been
expected to be most sympathetic to anyone blazing new technological
trails: if it was accessible, then it couldn't be much cop. To be
fair, this was a justifiable position to adopt. Walter Carlos's
brilliant (but musically insignificant) 'Switched On Bach' had
sparked off an incredible range of inferior imitations which lacked
his wit and used the massive resources of Robert A. Moog's
invention to produce poor mimicry of the sounds of 'real'
instruments.
We were approaching a situation where there was a direct ratio
between the level of musical boredom and the amount of electronic
hardware employed. After all, in Stockhausen's Mikrophonie he had
managed with a tam-tam, a mike, and an amplifier to produce his
effects. Perhaps we were suffering from technological overkill.
The 'difficulty' or otherwise of any piece of music is no
gauge of its value, either way; Leadbelly's Lousiana accent was
well-night indecipherable to a whole generation of British blues
fans, but that didn't stop his music from awakening a kindred spark
in their hearts which lay at the root of the entire British blues
boom and hence of rock and roll in this country. The musical
vocabulary of one genre, even one as simple as rock, may make the
music a completely foreign tongue to one raised in a different
tradition, where it is the entertainment of babes in arms. And a
music whose vocabulary eludes even those who profess to like it may
in fact have nothing to communicate.
3. The synthetic and the concrete
There was (and is) another reason why Tangerine Dream's music
sometimes sounds excessively bland, on the surface at least, to
those who have not bothered to get further into it, and that is the
use they make of the Mellotron, which makes them an uneasy hybrid
between the two kinds of electronic music, the Parisian and the
Kolnisch. Although composers have been experimenting with the
mechanical and electronic generation and manipulation of sounds
since as early as 1899, when William Duddell produced a musical
note by placing a coil and capacitor in parallel with an electric
arc, the first real break-through into electronic music as a genre
in its own right came from the studios of Radio-Television
Francaise in Paris and the musique concrete of Pierre Schaeffer,
who used tape recorders, filters etc to modify previously recorded
'real' sounds like street noises and even actual musical
instruments, resulting in music that could only be performed by
running the tape.
Although Stockhausen produced his first electronic etude in
the RTF studio, he switched pretty fast to the WDR studio in
Cologne where it was believed, in his own words, 'one can recognise
a first criterion for the quality of an electronic composition by
hearing the degree to which it is free from all instrumental or
other auditive associations. Such associations divert the
listener's comprehension from the self-evidence of the sound-world
presented to him because he thinks of bells, organs, birds or
faucets ... From this we should conclude that it is best for
electronic music just to sound like electronic music, that is, it
should as far as possible contain only sounds and sound-connections
which are unique and free of association and which make us feel we
have never heard of them before' (Die Reihe, 1961).
Of course, like that other enfant terrible of the avant garde,
John Cage, Stockhausen didn't always feel himself bound by these
rules, and in fact the whole history of electronic music has been
a record of the conflict between the two attitudes. But it has to
admit that when Stockhausen allows concrete sounds to intrude into
an electronic passage, as with the voice which intones 'les jeux
sont faites' during the fourth region of his otherwise brilliant
Hymnen, it destroys the sublimity of what has gone below and
reduces it to the banal.
This is what Mellotrons tend to do. The Mellotron is a
keyboard instrument which is loaded with tapes playing each of the
keyboard's notes: a tape may be of strings or voices or trumpets or
what you will, and with his ten fingers the musician can create a
ten-piece brass or string section or whatever. For this reason, the
Mellotron ran into understandable trouble with the Musicians' Union
at a very early stage in its career.
Now though Christoph Franke plays a Moog synthesizer, and the
other two members of Tangerine Dream play smaller synthesizers from
the British EMS company, if this was all they did they would be
reduced to playing single melody lines all the time, since at the
present stage of development it is impossible to play chords on a
synthesizer keyboard. This is why they rely on organs and electric
pianos and the Mellotron to create the full wash of sound against
which the single notes of the synthesizers can stand out like
pinpoints of crystal.
They use complex arrangements of electronics to modify the
resulting sounds electronically, phase shifters to make the sounds
appear to move spatially and up and down as well as across the
stereo image, filters, and so on, but they are still faced at times
with which sound to me like un-easy compromises and I am reduced to
imagining what their sound might be like if it were totally
synthesized.
This is especially so in the case of the Mellotron, for
reasons which I have found it hard to analyse. Perhaps it is the
lack of attack at the beginning of the notes, or the fact that some
of the commercially available tapes are not really of very high
quality musically or electronically (Tangerine Dream are working on
recording their own special tapes), but there is something in the
Mellotron in the hands of Edgar Froese which brings out all his
innate romanticism and almost spills over into sentimentality.
At times, like the noble theme he plays on Mellotron strings
on the ludicrously titled 'Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of
Nightmares' (perhaps it loses something in the translation from the
German) at the beginning of side two of 'Phaedra', his lyrical gift
triumphs over the shortcomings of the instrument, and the visions
conjured up, as Peter Baumann's synthesized wind noise sweeps
across the speakers, is epic. And again, at the beginning of his
newest solo album, he directs the resources of a veritable symphony
orchestra of Mellotron overdubs to produce a stunning effect. And
yet, live, they do sometimes lose their way into modal doodles
which are cloying rather than sweet, sickly rather than
stimulating.
This is one of the penalties of a music that is completely
free. While their albums are for the most part performed live, with
as few overdubs as possible, they do of course have the opportunity
to reject tapes which start promisingly and peter out into
meanderings, something which is likely to happen to the most
creative free musician, let's be honest.
There is also the melodic fact that unless you are going to
strive all the time for the note of anguish that so many associate
with avant garde music, which is not Tangerine Dream's aim at all,
you do run the risk of playing safe games on the black notes. Any
kid who lives in a house with a piano must have produced 'Chinese'
or 'Scottish' music on the black notes without any musical
knowledge at all. What he is playing is a pentatonic gapped scale,
which used to be regarded as discordant but now, thanks to the work
of Debussy and Ravel, is merely attractively exotic.
What is fun in the front parlour (if he doesn't keep it up for
too long) can be a sweeter kind of hell in the concert hall, and
while Tangerine Dream's creativity is of a higher order than that,
it's got to be admitted that while they wait for inspiration to
come, or to return, their playing does lack bite.
It is this uncertainty as to whether they are going to pull it
off and they usually do that makes each Dream concert an exciting
experience in its own right. But it is risky.
4. The personalities of an impersonal group
So far, Tangerine Dream have usually played in semi-darkness,
Not, I assure you, to create any mystical aura about them, but
because they wanted to focus attention upon the collective sound of
the music as a whole, rather than what any one member was playing.
They are beginning to recognise, however, that though to have
the lights go DOWN rather than up when a band comes on stage must
have been a refreshing change when they first began playing, it has
now become a restrictive image, and they are actively seeking ways
of smashing through the particular wall that it has become between
their music and their audience. Impersonality can, after all,
become the worst kind of ego trip.
Actually, if it weren't for the semi-darkness, the musical
personalities of the three members might be more easily
recognisable and, in my personal opinion, their music much less
mysterious to their fans who enjoy what they do without quite
knowing what is going on.
Edgar Froese, as I've said, is the great romantic of the
group. A big, slow-speaking man with sandy hair, married to the
lady who has designed most of the band's record sleeves, he plays
the Mellotron. He tends to be the spokesman for the band, though on
technical matters he defers happily to Christoph Franke.
Franke is the man who sits in the middle, in front of the
space terminal bank of the Moog. An ex-drummer whose rhythmic base
shows in the way he uses the Moog's sequencers to lay down complex
polyrhythms for the rest to improvise upon. When Peter Baumann left
the group briefly earlier this year to be replaced by Michael
Hoenig, the new man's rhythmic interests produced some of the
funkiest music I have heard the band play, but possibly tended to
over-balance the band at the expense of melody. For whatever
reason, he left and Baumann returned.
Peter is the only member of the band who started on keyboards
and it does tend to show in his playing. He is also very much into
the electronic modification of natural sounds and utilises the
whole vocabulary of electronic yelps and twitters and hows which
the VCS3 synthesizer puts at his disposal .
Of course, all three play several instruments, and the
electronic hardware they deploy to modify their sound is the
equivalent of several more, but this may give some sort of starting
point to who is playing what.
What needs to be stressed, however, as well as the individual
musical personalities of its three members, is the collective
identity of Tangerine Dream as a BAND, inter-acting and
intercommunicating on stage and in the studio. Edgar Froese's
analogy of their music with a good conversation is a true one, for
each of the other two will respond to what the others is doing --
and, in the process, react again upon the first musician.
In so doing, they build up a musical empathy which is,
perhaps, the most remarkable thing about them.
Ever since Louis Armstrong invented the cornet solo, and led
jazz away from the strict traditional confines of New Orleans,
musicians have been striving for absolute freedom, often
discovering merely a new kind of tyranny, the abhorrence of
concordant sounds, even as an accident, the neglect of the
underlying pulse which is at the base of all music, stemming from
the heart-beat and the labour process.
Freedom is seen as an ego-expanding situation, which must
necessarily be at the expense of the rest: collective
responsibility is disregarded in the sacred name of doing your own
thing, so the soloist becomes absolute dictator, if only for the
extent of his solo, and the other musicians his subjects, bound to
do his bidding.
This extreme individualism, which has its roots in the 19th
century romanticism of Byron and Tchaikovsky, which itself was the
expression of an age when individualistic entrepreneurs were
opening up the world for exploitation, will not be found in the
freedom of the playing of Tangerine Dream. They work together, not
against each other.
I was interested to find that, to the Dreamers, the supreme
test of their empathy is when they come to the end of a piece
spontaneously, without any overt message between them.
'We are now at the point,' says Froese, 'that we can find the
end of a piece without connection between us. It sometimes
surprises us too that we come to the end after 40 or 50 minutes and
we all begin to feel it must end, so we are going down and then we
stop without any signals from one to the other.'
Lovers of Indian music will not unfamiliar with this
situation, having seen the look of joy that will pass between a
master sitarist like Ravi Shankar and his tabla-player as they
finish a piece precisely on the same beat. As in so many things,
the true avant gardists are reinventing the past.
It was this sense of timelessness, of a connection, through
electronics, with a period when music was literally closer to the
heart of every man, and everything he did was a kind of sacrament,
that led Keith Michell to use Tangerine Dream to record background
music for his Chichester production of Oedipus Tyrannus. And though
the collaboration was a failure, this probably tells us more about
the irrelevance of proscenium theatre, even when self-consciously
brought out into the auditorium, to the cultural needs of the
present day.
Tangerine Dream have not yet reached the pinnacle of the peak
they have been attempting to scale since 1965, and it may be that,
without some fundamental changes in attitudes within the music
industry, the ultimate Everest is inaccessible for everyone.
Because they are developing a new musical vocabulary, it sometimes
becomes difficult to indicate verbally their more successful
excursions, compared with times when they just spend time seeking
for a direction.
They, themselves, are highly critical of their earlier work,
not merely their formative recordings for Ohr of Germany which are
so untypical of what they are playing now that they have tried to
stop their distribution in the rest of the world, but even parts of
their much more significant later British recordings.
But I feel that in their attempt fo find a new way of making
music that is accessible to every man and woman prepared to
surrender to the flow of the music, they are probably showing us
that there is nothing unusual, nothing artificial, certainly
nothing impersonal in electricity.
After all, that's what holds us all together.

invents.' Ludwig van Beethoven said that.

LIGHT ON A DARK GROUP
Talking to Tangerine Dream
The Beginnings
Peter Baumann: In the shops where they played their records they
had to renew the ceiling because it dropped down. This is when
we heard the first time of Tangerine Dream. It wasn't just the
volume ...
Edgar Froese: It was a free rock form with normal instruments --
drums, bass, guitar, flute and violin. In some of our earliest
experiments we had arranged songs by the Doors and people like
this and so when the group started in 1968 there were a lot of
aggressive points inside it. It was not the kind of musical
discussion like we have it now. It was another feel.
I started on guitar with the group, but I stopped because I
found I was getting so much of my inspiration from the old
ways, aggressive things, power things. Until then, we had
known only one thing and that was the loudness. Then it was
too loud, nobody could listen to the drums, the drummer
couldn't listen to the guitar, things like that.
After a couple of years, it's over. You can't find out the
very different things. The little things, the little sounds
are whispering you know. Christoph sold his drums and we all
sold our normal instruments. We were quitting the business, it
was all dead. We had been a rock group and we had a good
background for that but we couldn't listen to it.
Christoph Franke: We went through a long period of experiment. We
used other instruments, special guitars and so on, to try for
other feelings. I tried to change the style of my drumming
from beat drumming to other colours and structures. But it was
very hard, because instruments have clearly defined borders,
which you cannot cross. I tried other drums, not only European
drums, and then I tried to make myself electric drums with
special mikes.
Then I got rid of my drums and got a synthesizer which was a
better way, because there are far more possibilities. On a
synthesizer are very many instruments and each of us can
choose the instruments he likes.
Peter: I was playing organ in another group, and I was always
looking for something that I had never done before. I just
wanted to play and keeping playing and I did that for two
years without finding it. Then suddenly I heard a glass smash
in a kitchen and I sensed the electricity in the moment when
the glass fell down. When the glass fell in 2001, it was a bit
like this.
I realised there were different ways of expressing yourself,
and all that day I really started trying all sorts of
different sounds, twanging the blade of a knife on the edge of
the table, to find something to express what I wanted. Then,
later, we found that the best way to find those sounds was
electronically.
Edgar: The biggest shock I ever got as a guitarist was to listen to
Jimi Hendrix, I saw what could be done with the guitar. On the
other hand, I wasn't a very good guitarist. I was not a bad
one but I was not really a good one. I put it through a fuzz
box, put other things between the instrument and the
amplifier, then I put it into a synthesizer to change the
sound. But we were still trying to transform the music and so
I changed back to keyboards, which I'd played for about four
years, ten or 12 years before.
I wasn't actually very, very interested four or five years ago
in pure technical things. So I had to teach myself very hard,
because I hadn't very much sympathy for that field. But after
a couple of years, it's very open for me now. I think everyone
could learn it.
Peter: We started at a point where nobody was interested in the
music we were doing. There was such a small number of people
interested that there wasn't a name for it. It wasn't pop and
it wasn't avant garde, we just did it. It grew and the people
who liked to listen to it grew too and so it has just grown by
itself, with no one giving it a name.
Electronic music
Edgar: Our first idea after we got all the electronics was to find
out the sounds that have normally not been heard before. We
listened to a lot of electronic stuff on record and it's very
well known to a lot of people. If they went to an electronic
concert they would know maybe 80 or 90 per cent of the sounds.
But the problem for us is that we've tried to go further, to
find out sounds that are very unknown. We are now at the point
where there a lot of possibilities to mix all the things we
have, but to find out really new sounds, we can't do that at
the moment.
Christoph: Specially in America, there is a special image for
synthesizer groups. There are a lot of such groups but they
make very different music from us. We like to make our image
with our music, not with our instruments. If we use, next
time, other instruments, maybe computers or wood instruments,
then we are not a wood instrument group or computer group. We
like to make our names only for music.
Peter: Why does somebody learn to play bass? Why doesn't he choose
a guitar? Why does somebody learn to play organ and not Celtic
harp? I mean, it's personal feeling towards instruments and
there are some people who take a saw on the stage and saw a
table apart and that's part of their musical expression. And
there are others who take a glass and throw that against the
wall.
We've found that we use those instruments as personal
expression. They suit us best.
Edgar: ... we try to find the togetherness of all possibilities of
sounds. There's a normal way of producing music, you can
listen to the special sound: it's a guitar, or it's drums. You
have so much association to all things you've heard before,
that what's behind, it's impossible to listen to. So we've
tried to change all that. We play the guitar, not like a
guitar. We play an organ not like an organ. We change the
instruments to change the experience of listening.
Peter: We have tried to find the sounds we want by conventional
means. But we found in the end that the most direct method to
get the sounds we wanted was electronically. And so if the
audience finds it simpler to think about the electronics then
we won't mind. But the real point is to find exactly the right
sound for the mood we are trying to create.
Edgar: Electronic music isn't our theme. it's a little help of
ours. We can find every tone, much more for instance than a
flute or guitar. You know, you hear it's a guitar. You hear
the guitar lines. We shook it free of that.
Peter: I think you shouldn't talk too much about electronic music
because it sounds like lots of patterns, just sitting there,
and some kind of mathematic We just use electronics to do what
we want to.
There is a relationship between every kind of music because
music exists from certain factors -- tempo, dynamic, height of
the tones. This is basically what music is and there is a
relationship between every kind of music. But if you ask if
there is a special emotion or a special touch to our music, I
don't think we consider our music as any new kind of rock
music. We don't consider it at all. I think maybe there's no
need.
Edgar: We like to be thought of as a group working out good ideas,
new ways of music and possibilities for the future, but we are
definitely not a 'synthesizer group'. We like to integrate all
sorts of music, but I think a lot of readers of the papers may
begin to think of us as just human potentiometers. We are
still musicians. The musical conversation
Edgar. On one hand we are always talking about the togetherness,
how we must play together, we must do our things together, we
must feel together the same things at the same time and on the
other hand we are very different persons, we have really
different thoughts about music. And maybe it's that point why
we have come together on stage with our music, that each
member of the group can give from their different backgrounds.
Maybe one member of the group sitting down won't get any ideas
about the things he wants to do now. Then he gets a message
from left or right. And then the talk between us stops because
one will give a question to another and someone gives an
answer. It is just like conversation.
But what you can't do when you are talking is for one man to
say the same thing as another, only louder. He has to wait for
a space and then when he has spoken he has to fade out his
voice so that the others can give their comments. It's the
same in music.
Peter: It's silly to say that we play at every concert something
that we haven't played before. We can't do every day two hours
of completely new music. Of course, we could play for ten
hours just demonstrating what we've got on our instruments.
This is no problem and you won't hear us repeat anything for
ten hours. But this is not the togetherness of the music which
happens if it is a good concert.
Edgar: Some of the spirit on the first one or two albums, perhaps,
may have been mine. And even today in the recording studio,
perhaps, where you can stop the tape or emphasise one thing at
the expense of another and make overdubbing, but on stage it
is impossible for us to have a leader.
If I were the leader I would have to give signs about what's
happening now or to play louder now or what should be done on
the instruments but it's not possible. Each member of the
group has to respect the others. Another way is not possible.
Peter: We are different persons, of course, and we have different
backgrounds, so we play differently on the same instruments.
He uses the same synthesizer as I do, but he will never play
the same as I do, nor will I play the same as he does.
Everyone looks at the instrument in a different way. So you
can't possibly say that Christoph is playing Moog, that's why
he's making the most synthetic sound and Edgar is playing
Mellotron, so he's doing the most classical sound. It's very
hard to define by the instruments.
Edgar: Our way of playing music is the togetherness of all the
people in it, and it's not only the way of playing, of working
with an instrument, but the feeling behind the instrument.
Peter: It's all improvisation, but since we know each other there's
some kind of harmony between us that you cannot explain. We
have some basic feelings and emotions that will appear all the
time, but there are special ways, special scenes, it depends
very much upon the scenery where we're playing, they influence
the music so that every concert is different.
The tendency of the music of course is the same, but we never
have two concerts the same.
Edgar: I think we know exactly what the other one feels and the way
of playing is when one of us starts with a special thing, the
other two help him to work it out. And so, when he has done
that, another one of us starts to work his thing out, and the
other two help him. It's not a thing of solo parts, and to
fight it out how I want to be the biggest now. It's not our
way.
Of course, in Berlin we are not always together. We meet, one
or two times a week, for rehearsal or for talking about it,
and so we don't see each other in the meantime. Each person
has his own way, his own thing, his own private atmosphere. So
when you start to play again each person can bring in new
feelings, new experiences.
If we sat around each night and talking and talking and
talking, it will always be the same.
Christoph: Liquid, that's a very important word for our music, each
part flowing from one point to another, very smooth, very
liquid. You don't have very big cuts or breaks. It's like
water.
Sometimes there's a waterfall, maybe, but no stop.
Edgar: On the Mellotron I have about ten sets of tapes, each with
three different possibilities. There is one tape with a lot of
different noises, you know from steps on the floor or bells
ringing or drums, traffic noises, all sorts of strange sounds.
What we want to do now is to record our own tapes.
You can also use the Mellotron with something like a wah-wah
pedal or a fuzz box. I did it one time, but I wasn't very
satisfied with it The only thing I did is to change the sound
with a phase shifter or put the Mellotron into the
synthesizer. By that I could filter the sound or have a
special attack on a single key or I could change the wave form
a bit, things like that.
Peter: Hearing music at any time will never be the same as any
other time because the situation is very important and the
time you hear the music is very important. Every time you're
going to hear different aspects and you wander around in the
music. The music is there somewhere in the room and you walk
and look at the music and feel the music and see different
aspects.
Edgar: The time, it's moving, and so for the music, for the
feeling, it's the same. In one moment like this, we are just
sitting around, but this situation will never be again. It's
only in this time, only in this connection. It's the same with
a concert, it's a situation of maybe eight o'clock in the
evening and only then. It will never be again. Communication
from the darkened stage
Edgar: We like to go on stage in a dark situation, without any
lights and things like that. Going on stage and sitting behind
the instruments and starting to play and then going off again,
and not saying anything, you know, that's the image that we
have. But now I think it's not enough and I don't know how we
could work it out, but I think we must do some other things to
get a better communication.
Peter: When we first went on stage in darkness it was such a new
situation for the audience that they really got into what we
mean. But now, maybe it's become, 'Oh yeah, Tangerine Dream,
they play in the dark.' They know when they go there what to
expect. It's much too predictable.
Edgar: The audience at the Royal Albert Hall was really marvelous.
It doesn't matter if the audience is a bit noisy because we
start mostly with synthetic sounds from the synthesizer so we
can always integrate what they are doing. After a couple of
minutes they come down, they will be very quiet.
At the start of our second piece we used a tape loop from the
Rainbow concert of people handclapping and whistling. We tried
to show the people that they are a part of the music and there
is a feedback from them to us.
Christoph: Sometimes I get very angry if we finish a piece and one
second later a big noise is in the audience. Maybe we could
find out a system to keep the audience to one minute's
silence. Maybe with a very low tone, and the people understand
'Wait a minute', to keep that impression of that piece.
Edgar: What we had at the Albert Hall was what you could call a
satisfied situation where the audience was saying, you know,
'Come on again, play again, we want more'. So, I ask myself
why is it that they want more? 'Cause it's not a rock concert,
you know, and we really want to know why they want more. We
can't ask them, we can't go with a tape recorder and a mike to
everybody and ask them what they felt -- That's not possible,
so we have to test them with another form of communication.
We've thought that the first step could be to change the whole
environment of a concert. OK, that was the first step, and it
was working about thirty to forty per cent. But now we have to
think about a new form of communication.
Peter: Maybe we won't play together on the stage any more. Maybe
one on the stage and one in this corner and one in that
corner. I'm just suggesting, maybe something where we can get
to the point of what Tangerine Dream is about, again to the
people. When we started to do music it was a smaller audience.
When we started having bigger audiences, we realised that the
bigger the audience, the more the distance was to the
audience. Now we try to get back to the audience, very, very
close together.
Edgar: Everybody who wants to be creative, who wants to put out a
lot of things from himself, he tries to find his special way
to explain it, first to himself, what he wants. Because only
to think about it is not enough. I must work it out and see
what happens, and then I have the possibility to have
feedback.
The future lies ahead
Edgar: I believe that the next time we have a concert in England it
will be a completely new experience, because to repeat old
things is one part we don't like.
Christoph: Maybe we find out some new systems for rehearsal,
especially our personal interaction. Then maybe that will mean
we have to play with the lights on to see everything we do, so
that our music is maybe just a thing for the ears.
Edgar: I want to work more on the way to change sounds. You know,
it can be boring for me to play one and a half hours of only
Mellotron and organ, so I have to learn a lot of things about
how to change sounds, especially on the Mellotron, to work out
new technical possibilities with the Mellotron. It's one of my
main instruments ...
Christoph: I'm working with traditional instruments like the
harpsichord for my solo album. Then a new thing, an instrument
called a speech synthesizer which can produce vocals and
consonants in a way that you can synthesize your own speech.
I'm not interested to make sentences in a semantic way. I want
to use speech only as an instrument. On my next album I have
a rhythm programmer because I use pulses from one sequencer to
another at the same time, so that I have several different
rhythms in it. I can programme it up to maybe fifty bars but
I can make it return when I want, maybe after one bar, after
three, or after fifty bars. I can make a notation for it and
then I play it from the notation, with pins and notes and
switches, how many notes. For example, I have a scale, C, D,
E, and so on, and I take C, D and another C and in the next
bar I switch off the second C and take A on it, and in this
way I can get together any melodic line I want.
Edgar: The main change for the future will be that we have to work
much, much harder. With the group it means working harder on
a new project and working much harder for ourselves. I don't
know if it happens all the time in other groups, but I think
that success could make you very lazy.
When you've used two hands for half a year, then after a
couple of success situations you are only using one hand and
maybe one year later you would be using only two fingers. You
know what I mean? And so we found out that we must work harder
than we did in the past.
Peter: We weren't lazy two years ago. It was just a part of the
music. We are not the group to go into a rehearsal and start
to do some sounds and tunes. What we did and intended to do
was to go on stage and play what we felt.
You know, if you have done that for 3/2, no four years, up to
now, then it starts to get a little dishonest because you
know each other very much and you get in that way, lazy,
because you repeat what you know. It sounds quite good, and
the people like it because they have heard it not so often.
But you lose the feeling of the tension that you played the
first time.
Edgar: We have been working on the new things for the tour that we
have to make of America, not that it's an important gig or an
important tour, each concert for us is important, whether it's
the deepest countryside of England or Germany or France or
Carnegie Hall in New York, it's all the same for us, there's
no difference.
For us it's a great feeling we need before each concert that
we join the stage and really don't know which way we have to
go. We only know the three persons, one by one, and that's all
we know.
It's really good to have an open field, without any barriers.
It's inspiration, just inspiration.

DREAMING FOR THE RECORD
An Analysis of Phaedra and Rubycon by Karl Dallas with comments by
Christoph Franke.
Tangerine Dream have mixed feelings about recording. On the
one hand they feel that the necessity of selecting material which
can survive repeated listenings goes against the spontaneity which
they feel is so important. But the very fact of selection offers
them an opportunity of presenting a distillation of the best that
they can do.
They compromise by performing most of their recorded music
live, keeping the use of techniques that would only be possible in
the studio, such as overdubs, to a bare minimum, though Christoph
Franke is already dreaming of using the voltage controlled,
computer directed mixing desk at the new Manor Studio as a
programmable rhythm machine, its faders rising and falling to a
previously predetermined pattern -- something that I'll bet Helios
didn't have in mind when they designed it.
In the following analyses, the judgements are mine, and the
quoted comments are from Christoph Franke, but I would like to
acknowledge Christoph's help in sorting out who is playing what.
Phaedra
Side one: Phaedra
In classical Greek literature, Phaedra was a lady who fell in
love with her stepson. The story was translated into a French
classic by Racine and has recently been rewritten in an Indian
colonial setting for the London stage.
No attempt is made on the record to follow the story with any
kind of musical programme, though Edgar Froese once told me that he
had the poetic atmosphere of the play very much in mind when they
were composing the music.
The very slow beginning is in fact a very rapid sequence of
notes from Franke on the Moog.
'It is a very soft, slow, cloudy beginning, starting very
outside of the room, made with echo plates, and then it comes into
the room a little bit, going drier and drier, and the electric
piano from Peter makes some slow counterpoints to it.'
As the sequence is slowed down a rhythm pattern becomes
evident and the exact notes are perceptible. Baumann's piano notes
and chords become more and more bell-like. As the pitch and speed
of the rhythm rises and goes more into echo, Froese enters on
voice-tape Mellotron playing very high chords and the rhythm goes
into tape delay, doubling the apparent speed of the rhythm as every
note is repeated. The rhythmic pattern is taken over by Froese, on
guitar. 'Over this I made some glass noises with the Moog.'
The Moog takes back the rhythm sequence and simplifies it down
to three tones, to which Franke adds notes one by one, while Froese
plays phased long chords on Mellotron strings-tapes. Franke adds a
second rhythm sequence, three times as quick as the main rhythm,
while he overdubs a similar sequence on organ. This is the first
overdub to be heard so far.
The basic rhythm reasserts itself once again, with washes of
phased string chords from the Mellotron, and then a high, crying
note from Baumann's flute, jumping octaves, up and down, while the
intensity of the Revox echo delay on the sequence is changed
constantly, as well as the exact sequence of the notes.
Very low bass chords on the Moog underpin the sequence which
changes pitch and rises to a climax, while Baumann's flute notes
sail in and out of the mix, together with bottleneck guitar sounds
from Froese.
Baumann's synthi has added a percussive pattern of white noise
sounds in a similar rhythm to the sequence on the Moog, which rises
higher and higher as the colour of Baumann's pattern is altered.
The rhythm rises to a climax and Froese comes in again with very
high voice-tapes on the Mellotron, while the rhythm hits its
highest point and repeats over and over. Froese resolves the climax
with final Mellotron chords and a long beat on the tam-tam from
Franke.
'That's not a gong, it's a tam-tam like Stockhausen used in
'Kontakte'. It has an unvoiced sound. A gong has a little hill in
the middle and that gives it a voice. Then I try to make the same
sound like the tam-tam with generators and filters which is lying
now under everything. A tam-tam has a decay but I want to hold the
sound so I made it on the Moog. And I change the colour of the
noise sound with a filter bank, which I can do by pressing a key.
Otherwise I would need a whole bank of different natural
instruments to produce these sounds.'
Baumann's phased piano interjects over these basic gong
sounds, and then he produces a new sound on the synthi which Franke
describes as 'a very spacey sound, like a dog in the desert, which
I like very much'.
Froese's voice tapes sing out over more Moog gong sounds,
changing in pitch as Baumann's dog noises return, followed by his
organ and heavy string chords from Froese replace the voice, with
electric piano chords. The piece moves to a slow, almost heavy
conclusion.
Side Two
'The first piece is mainly a Mellotron piece from Edgar, with
some added wind noise from Peter's synthesizer. I don't play
anything on that piece. The second piece we made all together and
the third piece was made by Peter with very long and different tape
delays, played with this little wood flute, a recorder, like the
young people are learning at school'
Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares
'This first thing from Edgar is a very harmonic piece,
starting with wind noise. They are mainly minor chords and I get
the impression of going walking into a very empty countryside, in
the dark maybe.'
The sound of the Mellotron and the wind noise are both phased,
moving their presence about the stereo image. Later this phasing is
controlled by a generator which creates a flutter on the Mellotron
sound.
After a few Fender Rhodes piano chords from Baumann, the
Mellotron rises to its climax and subsides into silence, the wind
noise rises in power to be joined by twittering voltage controlled
oscillator sounds on a VCS3 synthesizer.
Movements of a Visionary
Baumann begins by feeding his voice into a synthesizer, to
which high-pitched noises are added, joined after a while by a fast
sequence of notes on Franke's Moog. 'It is several generators given
into a ring modulator which multiples the frequencies and you get
anharmonic overtones such as you have in all percussive instruments
like a glockenspiel or xylophone or a vibraphone or gongs or drums.
It means that the steps from one overtone and the next are not in
a proportion like one to two to three to four. If you hit a glass
you get anharmonic sound. It is the difference between a violin and
a church bell. It sounds here a little like a marimba.'
The sequence is echoed by Baumann's synthi and organ, and
Froese plays very high notes on Lowry organ. Baumann interjects
echoed chords on a Davoli piano. The whole thing seems to carry on
much longer than the amount of creativity merits, even though it is
actually quite short.
'In fact I don't like this side very much because it's not as
well done as it could be. It was our first recording in England and
we couldn't take as much time as we liked, The next record was much
better because we took more time.
'The thing is that we use the complete studio as an
instrument, so it is not possible for us to go into the studio and
play only pieces we have rehearsed before. We make the concept and
composings there in the studio. For instance, the mixing for us is
a real creative thing and the mixing board is an instrument with
which you control the dynamics, which are an important part of
music.'
Sequent C'
'That's just Peter playing. It's like a fugue made with a very
long delay so after maybe 20 seconds he can play a new melody line
over the old line. It goes a little in the Terry Riley way of
producing music which I like, in fact, very much. I like this piece
very much. I think it's a very beautiful end for this record.'
Rubycon
Part I
The beginning is Baumann on Fender Rhodes piano, 'playing very
lonely notes', with bell-like Moog tones from Franke, joined by an
oboe sound from Froese's Mellotron. All three lines come closer and
closer together, but there are quiet spaces between the notes.
'It's the first time we have put breaks between the notes, but
it's very important, so you can get your brain clear for what's
coming.'
A very high melody line on Franke's Moog comes over the long,
slow notes, is joined by tapes of mixed voices on the Mellotron
with glissandi from Baumann. The Moog melody returns and Froese
changes to strings tapes for a brief section of trumpet-like tune
and strings.
'Peter has some very nice voltage-controlled bits with the
synthi. Sometimes he comes very near with his glissandi, through
the well tempered melody line. I like it very much if there are two
scales of notes together -- a well-tempered scale and a
not-tempered scale producing, like birds, quarter notes, like
Schoenberg.
'This part gives me the impression of a very big river, at the
end of the river coming into a big sea, the ocean. It's very
liquid.'
Wind noise is followed by a cymbal-like tone created by a
cluster of 20 or 30 notes very close together and a very low bass,
with feelings of fuzz in it. 'It's a little meditation tone.'
After a rhythm sequence, Froese plays the main theme on the
strings followed by a remarkable duet between Baumann's Fender
Rhodes and Froese's oboe-tapes, in which they swap phrases and half
phrases. The rhythm continues, very ostinato, 'a repetitive rhythm
like the Negroes make it, very often', Baumann switches to organ
and the duet continues.
The rhythm doubles and Franke adds an overdubbed piano tape
loop: a backwards tape is joined to a forwards tape so that the
sound comes to its attack and then dies away.
The rhythm becomes very complex, with Moog tones and
snare-drum sounds, plus overdubbed piano, 'prepared' with pieces of
wood stuck between the strings to give a more percussive effect.
Over this Froese plays chords and Baumann plays a very high melody
line on organ.
A change in the rhythm is overlaid by clashing sounds from
Baumann's voltage controlled oscillator, played over a very
fast-running Leslie speaker and very long echo delay. Froese plays
a reprise of the original oboe melody while the decay of the snare
drum sound becomes longer and longer so that the beat disappears.
Later Baumann plays grand piano over a Leslie.
'In this piece I think all the melodies, rhythms and all the
sounds are much, much more complex and much better than on Phaedra.
I think it is a step forward, this record.'
The piece ends with a long sitar-like sound created by
scraping the strings of a grand piano with a piece of metal,
recording it, cutting off the attack at the beginning of the note,
and playing it back on multi-track at different speeds, giving
several different pitches.
The rhythm becomes simpler and simpler, moving from three to
two to one single tone, and the piano loops are faded across to
each other, making chords, slowly shifting.
Part II
'The second side is beginning with the sound of contemporary
music, a mixture of a gong sound and very complex glissandi sounds
made with several synthis, about seven different glissandi, three
synchronised on the Moog which is very easy to do, and other made
with other generators going up and down at different speeds and
between different intervals. So it is like the pile of a carpet, a
carpet of glissandi.
'I like this beginning because it is very different from
everything we've made before. It is really a piece of timbre music
with lines so close together that you cannot separate them.'
The glissandi section is followed by Moog sounds recorded on
Mellotron tapes and played by Froese. Baumann's Leslie organ goes
to a fundamental major C chord which is picked up by a very fast,
almost subsonic bass rhythm.
The very percussive rhythm is in fact two sequencers, and
Franke is switching from one to the other, changing notes in each
sequencer as he changes. 'I make accents on several notes by
playing the filter which makes the timbre higher.'
Over 'clouds of chords' on the Mellotron and Leslie organ and
synthi and Moog rhythm, Froese overdubs a backwards tape of guitar
played with echo.
The rhythm has changed to a deep heartbeat tempo, which fades
and then returns at a higher pitch, more prominently, under
Baumann's fast, staccato organ. A twittering sound is created by
oscillators controlling other oscillators.
'It is frequency modulation, controlling one tone with the
wave of another. That's what the birds can do with their voice,
changing the tone so quickly that you get a noise sound from it.'
The side moves towards its end with concrete sounds of sea
recorded on the South coast of England, played on two tape machines
with varying speeds so there is phasing, changing the location of
the sound.
'This technique is important for the work that Edgar did with
the artificial head on his solo album, 'Aqua', because with phasing
you can change where the sound comes from, not only from side to
side, like ordinary stereo, but also from front to back.
'You have only two channels for hearing, so with stereo you
can hear everything. Quadraphonics is only a game. It's not really
good, only pseudo-space.'
The piece ends with a relaxed sequence for three organs and
flute Mellotron, long, gentle chords with the flute flying at
almost stratospheric level, fading like the flute in Debussy's
'Afternoon of a Faun'.
'This is music that we would like to perform in churches, all
evening, without rhythms. Maybe each one of us is playing in a
different place in the church, and the natural reverb makes it a
very smooth sound.
'We bought a generator to make power so that we can make that
music outside, in total silence, in forests maybe.'

THE NATIONAL SOUND OF GERMAN ROCK
'Kraut Rock' is a meaningless genre invented by xenophobic
critics, claims Gerald O'Connell. In fact, Germany is the most
important centre of musical experimentation in the seventies. If
you have prejudices to shed, prepare to shed them now...
For the past five years or so there has been a gradually
increasing awareness of German rock in Britain and America, but the
process has been a slow, and in some rather unfortunate cases,
painful one, The generally accepted idea is that German rock is at
best brilliant but rather cold and uninvolved, and at worst
gloomily derivative of the superior Anglo-American product. Both of
these views ignore the most important point of all: German
musicians have grown up in a social and cultural environment which
is unique, and which has shaped their ideas in such a way as to
create a large body of highly original and worthwhile music, What
i want to do here is to examine that environment and perhaps
establish some of its main connections with the music.
The most startling aspect of the native German scene is the
extent to which it is fragmented. There are no established musical
centres like London, New York or LA where musicians congregate
around recording facilities and large audiences. Any list of major
bands reveals an equally long catalogue of place-names with which
they have remained in association over their whole life-span, The
result has been an almost total absence of cross-fertilization of
styles or any prevailing musical orthodoxy. Bands like Amon Duul II
in Munich, Can in Cologne and Tangerine Dream in West Berlin have
developed more or less in isolation, and their music has taken a
course directed more by the logical development of certain
individuals' artistic ideals than anything else. This lack of
elitism is a barrier in some ways -- nobody is likely to get into
a series of German bands because x reminds him of y and so on.
However, it does cultivate originality and avoid the mindless
bandwagoning endemic to Britain and America: psychedelic rock,
country-rock, glam-rock. What's next, Kraut-rock? No chance.
Of course, the other great impetus for this particularly
insidious characteristic of rock music is a commercial one -- it
simply pays well to follow the market leaders. This force too is
mostly missing in German rock. Those who copy British or American
bands tend to be ignored completely, and nobody of any originality
is making enough money to attract a spate of imitators. The mass
audiences of German youth are still largely wary of their own
culture -- the shattering psychological aftermath of World War II
in West Germany is still felt in areas like Music, where it is
considered more wholesome to import Anglo-American developments
lock, stock and barrel. A number of members of Amon Duul II have
admitted to me that they see little hope of financial success in
Germany, no matter what they do. The result is that they have
played the music they enjoy and feel to be most valuable, and then
attempted to sell it outside Germany.
This situation has also meant an absence of any large-scale
live audience for German bands. Consequently they have not been
under the kind of pressure to 'entertain' that we take for granted
in Britain and America -- nobody has ever had to stop to bother
about whether anyone can dance to their music (Germans are too
reserved for that sort of thing anyway), and records rather than
live appearances are the accepted medium. It is fairly easy to see,
therefore, why so many bands seem to be operating on the
technological frontiers of rock. The Kraftwerk/ Neu/ Cluster/
Harmonia family of groups -- the two members of Neu had been in
Kraftwerk previously, and when they split up, Michael Rother joined
the two members of Cluster and the band became known as Harmonia --
have consistently created music rooted in electronics and based on
machine rhythms, and are a good example of this tendency! In fact,
this type of approach often appears to be the sole common thread
running through German rock -- a fascination for pure sound and its
electronic manipulation in music is still an important factor. To
see why this should still be the case in Germany, while it has been
considered passe elsewhere, it is necessary to go back to the
contrasting situations of the late sixties.
West Germany in 1967 saw no 'Summer of Love'. The bland
consumer culture created by the post-war economic miracle was an
absorbing preoccupation in a nation anxious to forget its recent
past, and far too many young people were caught up in its delights
for such wild notions as 'flower power' and 'alternative
lifestyles' to gain much grip on their imagination. The system had
its critics, but they were few and isolated. Typically based in
universities and art schools, they regarded the majority of rock
uncritically imported by their contemporaries with justifiable
suspicion: it all looked like more garbage from the capitalist
conveyor belt. When, in 1968, Europe was swept by student unrest,
these strange little outposts found themselves in the vanguard of
a widespread change in attitudes. More significantly, in their
midst there appeared a series of musicians determined to carry
their political commitment into the musical sphere. This movement
was never discredited in the way that the Anglo-American hippie
phenomenon was: it even had its successes -- the downfall of the de
Gaulle government in France was attributed in large part to the
initial student disturbances of 1968.
By contrast, in England and America, the forward-looking
musical developments of the late sixties have largely been cast
aside in favour of a gradually imploding artistic form. We have
fled enormous resilience and sense of musical purpose which is
finally beginning to pay dividends.
There is such an enormous variety of music now coming out of
West Germany that none of the characterizations of 'Krautrock'
which have been made in Britain and America are at all adequate. On
the one hand there are a number of jazz-rock groups of varying
degrees of originality, the most prominent being Embryo led by
Christian Burchard. They have made a series of albums (two
featuring veteran jazzman Mal Waltron) of an extremely high
standard, which, had they been made by an English or American
group, would have attracted a good deal of attention. As it is,
they are still unknown. In another direction there are ballads like
Jane and Grobschnitt (both on Brain-Metronome) who sound very much
like British hard-rock bands, but with a higher level of
composition and musicianship. Jane in particular show a sense of
dynamics and swing not usually associated with continental bands,
and their first album remains an all-time classic.
Disproving the cliche that German rock is humourless and
over-intellectual, Guru-Guru's albums have been consciously
ingenuous in their own meandering sort of way. Enormous brass band
riffs degenerate rapidly into acid-distorted Chuck Berry and Bo
Diddley interpretations; but behind everything there is always a
great sense of fun in their music.
Both Jane and Guru-Guru have worked with producer/engineer
Conny Plank at some time, and his influence on German rock has been
tremendous. Plank's ability to get a crisp, immediate sound on disc
is unequalled anywhere - but he does not make this his sole
objective. Working with groups of various styles and aims he has
rarely failed to use advanced studio techniques in order to enhance
the musical end product. His views on his own role in the recording
process are highly instructive:
'It is my conviction that every music has its own sound
landscape and its own sound weather, and it is the task and duty of
the producer to feel and consider this very special climate.'
It is this willingness to adjust his approach to the needs and
requirements of the bands he is working with that makes Plank's
work so important in Germany. There is no such thing as the 'Conny
Plank sound' and this is deliberate. He is scathing in his
criticisms of developments in recording outside Germany -- the
progress made in the sixties impressed him, but then, 'this
development degenerated into an empty mannerism which turned the
sound of even good bands into insensitive music.'
And here perhaps he has encapsulated the difference between
what is happening in Germany and events elsewhere: there is still
a belief in individuality and experimentation for its own sake,
coupled with a healthy attitude to the future of rock, rather than
a necrophiliac obsession with its past. For my own part I believe
that this attitude is sufficiently ingrained to survive the
vagaries of financial success. Hopefully, the musicians I have
mentioned (and many others besides) will get the chance to prove me
right.
-----------------------------------------------------
TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT TEARS
The instruments that make the music discussed by Chris Simmons.
Future generations of music students will surely regard the
synthesizer as the instrument of the seventies. Although electronic
keyboard prototypes had been designed years earlier, it was only in
the seventies that the boundaries and conceptions of rock music
were greatly expanded by the widespread acceptance and use of the
new keyboards. Of the many exponents of electronic music currently
advancing the conceptions of sound, Tangerine Dream are one of the
most prominent. Their own success story is dealt with elsewhere:
here we concern ourselves with the workings of their chosen
instruments and, with the three members handling some four
keyboards each, the total array is a formidable one.
Technically, the proficient keyboard player can learn to play
the synthesizer without difficulty, but along with its advantages
it brings several drawbacks. While the sound of the electronic
keyboard is quite innovative, its capabilities remove all the old
conceptions of music making. The player and audience must both
learn to accept totally new modes of expression. With such new
sounds, then, it is gratifying to find the internal workings of the
synthesizer suitably complex. Fronting the T. Dream line-up are the
Moog, the VCS3 and the Mellotron, a potent combination more than
capable of providing their unique sound.
The original idea behind the design of the Moog, so named
after American founder Dr. Robert Moog, came from the workings of
the already established electric instruments. The guitar, for
instance, functions by taking an acoustically produced note, and
changing it via the pick-up into electrical energy and then back
into a different sound, perhaps louder and with different tonal
qualities through a speaker. The idea for the synthesizer was to
dispense with the acoustic origin of the sound, and use in its
place an electrical component capable of transmitting the same
characteristics in an electrical current as the magnetic pick-up.
This component was the oscillator, and forms the basis of the Moog.
Varying amounts of electrical energy can be passed through the
oscillator, determining the intensity of the current, and thus the
final note. So, almost by itself, the little oscillator facilitates
simple production of truly electronic music. The current produced
by the oscillator can be turned into the sound of a certain pitch,
and so much more voltage will produce the note a tone or semi-tone
above, and less current similarly gives out the lower notes. Thus
middle C on the synthesizer keyboard, although finally playing
middle C through the speaker, is simply the tab providing the
amount of current needed to make the sound of middle C. So far, so
good.
However, when another key is pressed down, our overworked
oscillator receives not two separate voltages, but the sum of the
two voltages. The resultant note would be well out of tune with
everything else, with the consequence that the oscillator is by
necessity monophonic. Still, the oscillator can be additionally
controlled from another source, to give it attack and decay for
example, and the tone can be altered by means of filters and other
components which can themselves be manually adjusted like the tone
controls on any amplifier.
For the production and adjustment of the note, the synthesizer
basically has three circuits; tone sources, tone modifiers and
control devices. The tone sources, as we have seen, derive from the
oscillator with its minor subsidiary noise generators. The tone
modifiers include several filters and modulators, controlled in
most cases by a sample and hold circuit. This is the facility so
often used by the showman who wants to impress his audience by
leaving his machine to 'play by itself' while he walks away from
it.
It is obviously necessary to tune the oscillators to the same
pitch as the other instruments in the band, and this has been one
of the primary problems in synthesizer technology. For T. Dream,
using so many electronic keyboards, keeping in tune throughout a
gig has been their major problem, expressed so often by band
spokesman Edgar Froese. 'We have tuned up half an hour before the
start,' he said recently, 'only to find that temperature changes
had forced the instruments out of tune.'
Nowadays any tendency towards temperament on the part of the
components is minimised at the manufacturing stage by a simple
survival of the fittest system. The completed instrument is left to
run for some hours, and anything that can't take it is removed and
replaced, and the test repeated until the instrument is stable.
Unfortunately this means that for the components to be stable the
machine must be given some time to warm up. A fine tuner control
allows final adjustments to be made if necessary, and the concert
is ready to begin.
The VCS3, also extensively played by Froese, has since its
inception in 1969 been one of the most popular synthesizer models.
Its attractive features include compactness combined with
versatility, and, like the Moog, is capable of producing the most
unusual sounds and effects so vital to the T. Dream music. With the
same basic oscillator principle, the VCS3 features attack, decay
and reverberation controls among others, and, while the panel looks
like the flight deck of Apollo 6, the instrument can turn out
noises ranging from simulated drum ruffles to vowel-sounding
coughs.
The third main instrument in the band's line up, already well
used by such exponents as Tony McPhee and Patrick Moraz, is the
mellotron. Though the mellotron sounds are as exciting in their own
way as the synthesizers', it operates on rather different
principles. Originally designed by another American called
Chamberlain, the 400, the most popular model, contains 35
pre-recorded tapes each with three parallel tracks. The depression
of a key causes one of these tapes to run. The normal sounds on
these tapes are flute, three violins and a cello, although a tape
of any instrument can be installed to particular requirements, A
track selector chooses a sound, and on adjacent tracks the machine
facilitates a mix of two tapes. The single keyboard model includes
volume, tone and track controls, with a patch controller for tuning
and special effects, plus the swell foot pedal. It is a sure sign
of the rapid advancement in the electronic keyboard field that
Mellotronics (responsible for manufacture and distribution) have
recently introduced a new two-keyboard model, incorporating 40
tapes mounted on movable and interchangeable heads.
Whether you like their music or not, the members of Tangerine
Dream are certainly fine and adventurous musicians and the
combination of such players and such machines should certainly give
the current music something to sit up and listen to very carefully.

Thanks Gustavo, the photo is interesting.
Here goes my contribution: I went to Coventry in 1992 and to the cathedral,
where TD played the broadcast Ricochet material. I have to qualify my
statement a bit, that I actually did not go into the cathedral but was only
peeping from outside, as I was then a student spending most of the money at
the end of a 3-month Euro trip....got to save the entrance fee...anyway, the
photo is from a cheap postcard I got.
I should have another diff. postcard but I must find it and also access to a

Did anybody ever take some photos of interesting concert venues??

Just a few comments concerning Ricochet part 2.
I might be a sequencer besotten nut who sucked that bit way too often
over the last 18 years and even partly agree with Greg's comments about the
harshness of its sound - but then Rubycon is pretty lo-fi sounding compared
to Ricochet part 2 - there's not much going on above the 10 KHz mark -
frequency wise -
almost everything around 0.5 - 1.5 Khz is way too loud in the mix, IMO.
BUT even after 18 years I still think those multi layered varied sequences
(with loads of overdubs that can't be done live in one take), that almost
changes every second bar
are the dogs bollocks. There's hardly any better sequencer work done by TD
let alone
other artists to date.

Well, fiddling with Rebirth surely helps understanding as well as knowing
how do use reverb and delay in sequences. I'm fully aware of what you can
archive with Rebirth, ARP*8,
SQ 303 (two other software sequencers/multilayered ARPeggios programs)
and hardware sequencers such as the Doepfer MAQ 16/3, the MAM SQ 16, the
RM1x1,
the ARP sequencer to name but a few (*). Still the overall developing and
variations
let alone the usage of multi layering *with* key changes (a,c,e) shown in
Ricochet part 2
aren't easy to chum out especially back in those days. Hence there's
still a lot of respect and love left even after 18 years! All IMHO, of
course.
Compared to the fantape recordings of TD live gigs around that time
where I often find the sequencer work pretty lame yet boring (Air Sculpture
for example recently put TD live to shame with a brilliant live improvised
sequencer stonker during their e-live performance a few weeks ago)
- Ricochet part 2 adds ice to the cake, IMO. Tasty, tasty. :-)
It would be interesting to know how Paul Ellis (D@T...) and Marcel Engels
(FSP)
rate the sequencer work of Ricochet 2 in particular.

Granted, Rog's voice was a little rough on the AtD album (I too gave the
regular issue to my brother so I would have an excuse to get the Gold SBM
version), but his performance on the recent tour more than made up for it.
He was rock solid. I heard a comment that he will rarely talk at all while
touring, and only in a whisper, so that he can save his voice for the
performances.
If you want to hear one of Pink Floyd's best performances since '81 check

Subject: Cymbiosis
Hi Everyone,
I came across an interesting item yesterday. It's a cd/magazine called
Cymbiosis. It comes in a double jewel case but has one cd and a jacket sized
magazine in the other. The 'issue' I found is Vol. 2 No. 1 and came out
sometime in 1988. The cd has two TD tracks, Canyon Carver and Canyon Voices.
The magazine has two articles on TD, one about the making of Canyon Dreams,
and the other a history of the band, 15 pages total with a few B&W pictures
and quotes from Edgar and Paul. There is also articles and music by Pete
Bardens, Bill Bruford and several others. There is also a fan review of a

I agree, the first track of Richochet is superb. In my opinion, it hints
at some elements of Sorcerer, but maybe that's just in my mind.
Actually, Ricochet Pt. 1, Sorcerer, and parts of Force Majeure remind me
a bit of 'fantasy music' in the vein of, oh, say Bo Hansson. (Does
anyone here know of him?)
One thing I must object to -- golden days, shmolden days. You know what
I'm talking about. Technology, or lack thereof, does not a musician or
composer make. I would say that TD may have taken many more chances at
that time then they do these days, but that's a choice they've made
independently from DATs, MIDI files, or computers. If they wanted to,
they could unplug all their computers, digital sequencers (BTW, THEY
DON'T USE DATS!!!!!), and the like, and just play a few of their digital
keyboards in the same way they did analog gear in the 70's. They
*choose* to utilize computers, digital sequencers, and MIDI files to
their advantage to present the music they like to present to audiences.
Be thankful they don't just techno-groove to incredibly irritating dance
loops like the bazillions of wanna-be EM artists all over everywhere.
MP3.com's a scary place. ;)
Anyway, sorry for rambling! Take care folks,
Jared
P. S. Ricochet Pt. 2 isn't my favorite, but I like it a lot. I think you
need to give it a few more listens, Greg!

We have a lot of new and forthcoming releases on our Voiceprint page
including Steve Jolliffe/Invitation:
The Music Of Jolliffe - Steve's career began in 1967, when he formed a group
with Rick Davies called The Joint, they evolved into 70's supergroup
Supertramp. By 1969 he had been accepted by the reknowned Berlin
Konservatorium, it was there that he met Edgar Froese and Klaus Schulze and
toured Germany as one of the earliest incarnations of the legendary
Tangerine Dream. He then joined blues/rock band Steamhammer who toured
Europe extensively with the likes of Pink Floyd and The Who. After leaving
the group in 1975,he pursued a new found interest in film and tv music. His
music continues to be used world - wide in these areas. He briefly rejoined
Tangerine Dream in 1978, recorded the album Cyclone and played to crowds of
up to 100,000 on a massive European tour. He then set about establishing
his solo career, releasing many solo albums and collaborations with Klaus
Schulze and Jade Warrior. He received major critical acclaim in America for
his 90's recordings, Escape, Warrior and Zanzi, which was chosen as
Billboard's Critic's Choice. In 1997 he recorded (Science Of The Gods) and
appeared with new wave dance gurus Eat Static and in 1998 he began working
with Springheel Jack. He released the evocative album Deep Down Far in
1999 ('an original finely hewn work ' - Progression Magazine ) and is about
to work on another Eat Static project.
On our ESD page is the long awaited
forthcoming release from Wendy Carlos, Switched-On Boxed Set. Music that
changed the world: a gorgeous collector’s deluxe edition of a decade of
revolutionary recordings by 'original synth' Wendy Carlos. Hear the actual
master tapes for the first time, painstakingly transferred, cleaned and
optimized, using ultra-high fidelity 20-bit “Hi-D” sound. “Carlos’s
realization of the Fourth Brandenburg Concerto is, to put it bluntly, the
finest performance of any of the Brandenburgs—live, canned, or intuited—I’ve
ever heard.” —Glenn Gould
Collect the Grammy-award family of Switched-On Bach, which propelled the
synthesizer to fame in 1968 and became the first Platinum-selling classical
album, with The Well-Tempered Synthesizer, Switched-On Bach II, and the
Switched-On Brandenburgs.
* Four 20-Bit CDs
* Two colorful books with hundreds of pages
* Dozens of photos
* The “lost” audio tracks
* Behind the S-OB scenes
* History of the Moog Synthesizer
* More images of the texts for your computer
* A working analog synth computer program
* MIDI files of Carlos’s Bach performances
We have a new collection on our Third Contact page
. Various Artists/Refuge - a benefit
for the peoples of Kosova - Take Refuge in a compilation of the best of New
York's downtown scene! The hottest new voices and a few old favorites have
come together to raise money for the people of Kosova and in the process
have created a compilation of songs that transcends the usual and covers
more musical territory than a walk through the East Village on a Saturday night.
While this collection was released by The Orchard and not Third Contact, it
seemed fitting on this page being produced by Joy Askew, mastered by Larry
Fast and featuring new recordings from each of them. In fact, Larry's
interpretation of Ravel's Pavane would be the first new Synergy recording of
this decade (with more to come we hope!). Also featured on this recording
are the familiar rhythms of Peter Gabriel backing up the provocative poetry
of his daughter Melanie Gabriel, Living Colour's Vernon Reid, Richard
Barone, Marina Belica with members of the October Project, Sarah Slean and
many more. And when you buy Refuge, you give refuge; proceeds from this CD
will be donated to the Kosova Relief Fund to help the people of Kosova
rebuild their homeland. The war is over, help us to end the suffering.

A very late email, but better late than never.
Smalltimeline ©® :)
1973 Atem
Green Desert
Tubular Bells
1974 Phaedra
***1975 RUBYCON***
1976 Stratosfear
Oxygene
1977 Encore
Rubycon - 1975
1. Rubycon part 1 (17:00)
2. Rubycon part 2 (17:20)
0:00 - Rubycon part 1 has a big intro, similar to and reminescent of
the Phaedra ending and maybe Mysterious Semblance. Very nice ambient
work.
6:00 - the intro slowly ends and some bass comes up.
7:10 - first sequencer part. a basic sequence with other elements.
one of the best parts of this album.
10:00 - the basic sequence changes and other sequences begin to
join the music.
12:00 - the other sequences start to leave and Rubycon part 1 very
slowly begins its end, just like Phaedra's second part.
12:30 - around this point, there's the climax. but this track is so
plain that the climax is almost invisible.
12:52 - another shift in the basic sequence.
13:20 - some small flute melody, the first melody I could notice in
Part 1. It seems that the flute is used always as bridge and to
signal the ending of the track.
13:51 - another change in the basic sequence, followed by other
changes. the sequence starts to be simplified, from a 3 note - 3 note
sequence to a 2 - 2 note sequence. (I don't have any technical
knowledge in music, I just invented this name. Perhaps it's
correct...?)
14:44 - at this point, you listen to the last effect of Part 1 for the
first time. the basic sequence, which was already slowly dying, becomes
a 1-1-note sequence and then is turned off some seconds later.
Rubycon part 1 is somehow a Phaedra version, but that Phaedra 'ramp' is
larger in Rubycon and the ramp doesn't end. Hmmm... language
limitations. How can I say? This part almost doesn't have a climax,
it almost doesn't have any melody, and I think this is TD first
sequencer-heavy track. I don't know why, but I love this part.
It could be a infinite track, something like a mantra. That's the
word. Rubycon part 1 is an electronic mantra.
0:00 - Rubycon part 2 begins in a similar way to part 1, but then we
listen to some haunting sound, which can be winds os howls. There are
other sounds like screams in the distance, and at 1:12 some owly
sounds. Very spooky intro. It continues with other sounds, and
moans dominate the track at 3:00.
3:40 - the intro seems to start to end.
4:20 - the ending of the intro.
4:35 - the sequence joins the music. This is one of the best sequences
IMO, between Ph.,R.,FM,Pol.,WE,Str. and Ric. which are the TD albums
I have. Unlike the stable sequence in part 1, this one changes all the
time.
7:30 - The sequence stabilizes.
8:30 - It begins to change again, but less often than before.
10:00 - A climax. the sequence starts to fade, with other sound which
made me remind of Phaedra's before 'falling off the cliff' sequence.
Is this sound from the mellotron?
11:30 - water. lots of water sounds.
12:05 - the last part of this album begins. As usual in TD interludes,
some flute. I could notice they use the flute in almost every
interlude, in all albums.
14:00 - the ambient final section, very similar to the beginning of
this album, continues with flute notes. At this point, it's obvious
that the sequences have left the music.
17:00 - Similarly to Phaedra's ending, Sequent C', this album ends with
Baumann playing flute, alone.
Rubycon is a very stable and cyclic AND mantric album. It's perhaps
TD's most uniform album. It's also symetric: begins with ambient,
then sequencer, then ambient, then sequencer, then ambient. It's
like a huge plain, with two hills. One, smaller,is part 1's nearly
invisible climax. The other, a little bigger, is part 2's Phaedrish
climax. I could say that Rubycon is Phaedra II. Very strangely, I LOVE
this album after listening to it and making this review! Now I like it
better than Phaedra.
Rubycon, TD's 1975 album, is the last of the early albums. Phaedra
and Rubycon, TOGETHER, and only together, are the true bridge between
the experimentation of early records and the sequencer-mania shown in
later albums. Phaedra shows TD beginning to write true compositions
(Mysterious Semblance is the best example). Rubycon has the best
sequencer experimentation. I can give this album a 6AS, but
unfortunately the maximum note here is 5As. Phaedra also takes 5 As.
As happened with Lawry Simm when he was writing Phaedra's review, I was
very surprised to see that now I like Phaedra and Rubycon (Phaedra II)
better than never!

Subject: D:Live [Ricochet] Warning... long, rambling review.....
Well, I agree with Jen's comments about working with classic
analog sequencers, (and recent emulators, my favorite being
seq-303 by technotoys for those out there w/PC's)
can only increase your respect for what TD did with what they had.
It is NOT easy to get the variations, multilayering, and key changes
with the gear they had available to them. That's a point I want
to stress. Also, as far as comments I've made on how these
recordings 'sound', I perhaps wasn't clear enough on my Rubycon
post. Sounds great? Yes, I still think so... Compared to, say,
Dark side of the moon, (roughly same time frame)? No. Compared
to what they had released before? YES! They simply didn't have the
money/clout to make recordings as good as The Floyd, for example.
(RECORDINGS, mind you, I'm not talking about the music.)
They did make a marked improvement after Phaedra, IMHO.
Okay. the album itself.
Ricochet Part one
I've listened to all these albums (up to Stratosfear) since '76, and while
I've
become somewhat affectionate toward it, I still feel compositionally that
the guitar 'theme' that starts the album goes on a bit too long. At about
6:40 I really like the synthetic groove that emerges... almost a kind of early
K-werkish sound. then this gothic pulse emerges out of it. Great to hear this
close to Halloween. About 8:30 more guitar comes out, and well, I'm not that
big a fan of some of the early guitar work (though I love Coldwater Canyon)
At about 10:30 another sequence emerges and develops a harmonic
counterpoint This is a classic TD section with wild drums. Now that I've been
recording for a while the edits are pretty easy to spot, though they don't
bother me. At 13:30 the original theme reemerges, though played much faster.
Then it slowly dissolves back to the original pulse making a kind of arc
for the whole piece. (ABCBA)
So this album is allegedly culled from 400 hours of recordings?
I'm not sure what they meant by that. Maybe they had 400 hours of recordings
from their tour that year, but this album says in the liner notes the
concerts
were in France and Britain. Clearly they were edited down, but I'd be
interested
to know from how many concerts It was REALLY culled from. Someone
mentioned that they didn't feel it mattered how much the live recordings were
'Tampered' with if the end result was great music. I agree. Distilling down
and editing like that is an art in itself.
Ricochet Part two
Well Jens, I think this side was a peak moment for TD. One of the great sides
they ever did. Of course you're not going to hear too much criticism from me
from Phaedra on Baumann era as it's some of my favorite music ever made.
Some comments: The handclapping at the beginning of side two...
Now why did they add this? To show that some of the album was
done in a studio? Maybe a reference to the Zen question 'What is the sound
of one hand clapping'? I like it whatever it's for. The piano/Mellotron intro
is sublime and one of the most beautiful moments they recorded in the
Baumann era. At 2:40 a high pitch sequence comes in and develops
into a one of the most beautiful counterpoints they ever did (Coming
out at about 5:58) The layers here are gorgeous. A Kaleidoscopic
journey through some Astral plane. I love the dynamic changes on this album.
The sound collage at about 13:15 is Very Surreal and somewhat
revisited on Encore. Then the Flutes call us out of danger to a
My favorite part of the album. Fantastic playing here....A perfect example
of the sequencer manipulation Jens was talking about. Amazing.
Live albums were a discussion earlier and I'll put in my two cents here
I'd say Ricochet and Encore would be my entries.

Ricochet....
what can I add to this huge album that hasn't been said before. I only
recently learned that this album was mixed together from various shows
played at that time. Each day you learn something new when you are
subscribed to both TD mailing lists :-)
Is their anybody on the lists who heard Richochet part 2 as often as I
did? I haven't counted it but I think it may be 100-150 times. I know
this track inside out, almost every single note. Wake me up at 3 a.m. in
the morning and I will gladly hum along the first 10 minutes (make me a
strong cup of coffee and I'll sing the rest for you ;-) . Part 1 is also
very good but doesn't come close to Part 2 (IMHO).
Also this has one of the best TD covers Monique Froese ever did.
1975 was a very productive year for TD where not only Rubycon and
Ricochet were released but also Edgars' beautiful Epsilon in Malaysian
pale album. I know that we don't discuss solo albums but this one surely
would deserve it.

There's nothing that can hinder you from talking about

Maybe I've got a bad copy of Rubycon because I still think the quality
is quite bad. Not much high frequencies. I've got a picture disc of it.
But the music is great and thats what counts.
A short 'review' of Ricochet.
Part one.
Excellent opening!!!
So simple and yet so beautiful and haunting/powerful.
I'm quite inspired by these intro's (as you may notice on the opening of
Pointless)
Nice mellotron brass which starts the track. Again a simple 3 note (or is it
4
if you count the muted note? :-)) sequence which some typical TD notes on
top.
After a while it really starts with some great sequencer, guitar and drum
work.
And ends the same as the beginning, I like that!
Part two.
This is the best track of the 2 imo.
In fact its imo almost the best track TD ever did (if you're in the right
mood).
Nice piano work and mellotron flute.
And then the sequencer...what can I say about the sequencer...it's just
fantastic.
But this is definitely studio-work...if you listen to Croydon '75 which has
a lot in
common with Ricochet then you don't hear any of these major
sequencer-changes.
I also wonder if that can be done live on stage. But nevertheless they can
'tamper'
any day like this because I like it!
I also think that there is some hand-played sequencer work in there...I
think not
everything comes from Chris's Moog.
After the voice part it's quite hypnotising and I could swear I hear some
kind of
voice being played when Chris tunes or changes a sequence...not the voice of
someone
but a coincidence when changing the sequence. (or maybe I'm ripe for the
nuthouse? :-))
Ends with some superb choirs...
definitely 5AS.

Ah okay...I also think it fits it. The EQ is a bit bad, but it fits.

Hi Jens!
Well, I think it's TD related ;-)
I bought 'Epsilon in Malaysian pale' in the early 80's at a record fair, just a
few days after 'Richochet'. Listening to these 2 albums one after the other one
can understand why it didn't take much
to become a TD diehard! The only problem for me was the sound quality.
Unfortunately I bought some crappy vinyl copies (well, you can't expect much
when you buy Epsilon for 1 DM ;-) and only recently
I got a CDR copy of the long out of print CD version. Now I can listen to one
of Ed's finest moments in glorious sound quality. Surely one of the best albums
that feature the mellotron sound. Of
course other bands included the instrument years before Epsilon was released,
but only as an accompaniment to their music (Moody Blues, King Crimson, etc.).
Dare I say that Epsilon is one of the best
EM albums ever produced? Yes? Thank you.
It must've frustrated Edgar that he failed to win the 'Deutscher
Schallplattenpreis' for Epsilon in 1975. Instead it was Klaus Schulze with his
glorious 'Timewind' album, another EM classic.

Hi guys,
just to avoid misunderstandings. The music on 'Architecture in Motion' was
already released by TDI in 1998 - under the name 'What a Blast!'. Both
releases are identical, content- wise (...I don`t know about the sleeve
design since I have not seen the MIRAMAR CD, yet), except that 'What a
Blast!' features one extra track.
All the best,
Martin Kay.

This one is called 'What A Blast' as well but only in reference to
the Video. Doesn't this count as copyright infringement to a greater or
lesser degree?
It is interesting that there seems to be no indication of a
publishing or copyright date or logo anywhere on the disc or packaging.
This all seems a bit unusual under any normal circumstances, don't
you think?

Yep, you're right!
Let's pissing off Lawry Simm with a brief D:solo discussion ! ;-)
(just kidding Lawry you surely deserve it, though. He, he,he. ;-))
Seriously folks, any discussion of TD's work is almost useless
if you don't take into account the solo releases around the same period
(Romance '76 anyone ?) - they are essential
for the developing of style of TD.
I too got 'Epsilon in Malaysian pale' recently on one of those
offsite backup CDR's. Sold the LP back in 1983 and didn't
really likes it back then, hence I never bought the CD
while it was still available.
So it took 16 years (boy, am I getting old) until I listened
to it again. I couldn't believe how good it actually was
and how good I did remember it. Mellotron heaven!

A good choice then! I've listened to Timewind at least as often

Ricochet part 2 is made up of a piano/mellotron studio construct at the
beginning. Then the amazing sequencing starts, almost a carbon copy of
Croydon (23-Oct-1975) except that Ricochet 2 seems to have an extra layer
of sequencing. When the first sequencing part dies down, we have more
studio constructs which leads into another sequencing routine. This one
again seems to be almost identical to Croydon. What seems interesting is
that where the studio construct comes in the middle of Ricochet 2 that is
where a lot of guitar was. There's a lot of guitar removed from Croydon
on it's transition to Ricochet 2. We've seen guitar removal before, on
Sohoman. The difference between the release of these albums (Sohoman &
Ricochet) is 24 years, looks like Edgar always had the urge to remove some
guitar from live albums. Now, with Soundmill Navigator to be soon
released - that has lots of guitar, will that be removed???
Anyway, my bet is that Ricochet 2 is almost identical to Croydon '75, now
how about Ricochet 1? Anybody any ideas on where this one is from?

If there were 400 hours of tapes I think some of them must have been
studio - they definately did not do 400 hours of concerts in 1975.
The vast majority of Ricochet Pt II was recorded at Croydon Fairfield Hall -
a listen to a tape of this will confirm. I one saw a quote somewhere
alledging bits of Coventry had also been spliced in. Sooooo maybe Pt I is

Actually, it wasn't just modular synths that
could do that. I know the Mini-moog had an
external input that allowed to process sounds
with the filter, for instance. Of cours, a
modular allows for far more flexiblity. You can
have any kind of filter configuration (ie high
pass, low pass, band pass or band reject/notch),
you could do ring modulator effects, etc. With
the Mini-moog, you were basically limited to that
one low pass filter and whatever kind of
modulation you can get from using the third
oscillator or the noise source. Nowadays, you
have all these 'virtual analog' synths, like the
Nord Virtual Modular or the Virus, which also
allow you to process sounds with that kind of
flexibilty that the modular synths offer.

'Mars Polaris' is the newest CD by Tangerine Dream (not counting the recent
re-issues of older material by TDI). It was released on June 18th, 1999. First
copies of it were on sale at the Mars
Polaris world premiere in Osnabrueck (June 12th). Since then there were

Tangram is a real (and I mean REAL!!!!) release CD. It's from 1980 and one of
the best TD albums ever (or maybe the best of them all. I even prefer this one
to Logos or Richochet). If you like it
then also watch out for 'Pergamon'. This is a live CD from TD's first
appearance in the former GDR on January 31, 1980. There you can hear some parts
which later were featured on Tangram.

nostalgia. I got it shortly after delving into EM. But the critical side

I'm surprised you didn't mention Meadow of infinity/Glass Bridge,
which I feel to be the highlight of the album, more visionary than
the three you mentioned, which have an almost 'pop' feel.
For those who like this sound, you should check out Patrick
O'Hearn's Ancient Dreams? It was one of the early albums on the
Private Music label (Peter Baumann's label.) and has a somewhat
similar brooding feel to Romance '76 Though in Patrick's own style.

Dan,
I believe that Mars Polaris is the latest release. I just picked it up
recently myself. I think it's the best work that they have done in a
while.
Tangram is a very good cd also. And yes, it is a studio release. The
cd I have says that it was originally released in 1980 on Virgin. I'm
sure it's still available. It's a Froese, Franke, Schmoelling
collaboration. Try the web if you can't find it locally.

IIRC, Departure came out around '78, though I think it was recorded in
'76...so maybe he learned a few tricks from Chris. Also, the other Hoenig
classic 'Early Water' was recorded around '76 and also features some very
similar sequence motifs.

Just to add my 2 cents worth to this conversation, I remember watching a
video on BBC 2 in about 77 or 78 of what i remember as the Coventry
Cathedral Concert, and i'm sure, in fact i'm positive, they played the
*whole*
of Ricochet live, i also have the Coventry gig on CD-R and it is *not* the
whole of the Ricochet album, my information states that they only did one
Concert at Coventry Cathedral and that was on 4/10/75, so this is a bit of
a puzzle, Could there have been 2 Coventry gigs ?. Maybe our resident
TDI Expert Martin Kay could shed some light on this one ?
BTW, I first heard Ricochet in 1976, and to this day it's still my favorite
TD album, and side 2 is just the most incredible, most played, piece of
shear brilliance i will ever have in my collection, and those that know me,
know that my collection is quite large, not as large as some though ;-)

Subject: Discussion Weeks (Provisional Schedule)
Remember, I'm aiming at recording dates rather than release dates
wherever possible, so as to better represent the chronological
development of TD. However, in the case of modified releases (such as
Sohoman), they will appear by release date. Some soundtracks are based
on the release date of the film as recording dates are unspecified.
Most notably are 1983 -1985 where things were often released out of
recording order...
All dates taken from 'Mysterious Semblance - A Tangerine Dream
Chronology' by Scott Plumer.
Also, I do not have all of the soundtracks, and some may merely
reissue music from other releases and therefore do not really warrant
a discussion of their own (unless we wish to discuss how the music
affects the film). So if you know of such items, please let me know
and I will adjust this schedule accordingly (this is only
provisional!). Conversely, should I have omitted something you think
should be in the list (e.g. compilations with unreleased material etc)
let's discuss is. This order of items on the list is also open to
discussion.... (dates will be added once the order is finalised)

Yikes! I still have those - they made me stop buying TD CDs.
I still blame Edgar & company for calling them Hollywood years -
fooling customers - as E&J never ever worked for Hollywood
and there's no Franke/Schmoelling bit in it as the title suggests.

It seemed like it was the twentieth generation of dupes.
You could barely make out ANYTHING at some points, at other
points it was better, and I remember candles burning, and it
seemed to me that they were just miming to backup tapes.
There was one point where they had a closeup of Edgars hands
for several seconds, and his hands were floating ABOVE the
keyboards... I remember someone who was there yelling out
'Well, play something already'!! I came away with the impression
that it was a promo of some sorts. (The tape also had a jam
session with Michel Huygen and Ashra)!!

Subject: RE: Is Coventry a town or just a cathedral?
I know the concert you are talking about. I've seen a video of it. The
concert is indeed inside the cathedral. I'm not disputing that they played
Coventry Cathedral in October. I'm just explaining my earlier mistake in
confusing the April Coventry (city) concert with the October Coventry
Cathedral concert.
BTW: The BBC broadcast is basically images of Edgar, Chris, and Peter
playing their respective equipment. The same sequences are looped (how
fitting ;) over and over, some in slow motion. There's some neat visual
effects added in between for atmosphere (they remind me of some of the
Doctor Who openings...). The music is an overdub of Ricochet, or at least
of a Ricochet master. There is one section where the music appears to be
*slightly* different from the Ricochet album. Basically one or two notes
are held a bit longer. This could be just a difference in the mixing, which
lends to the idea that the music is essentially Ricochet, but it's taken
from a pre-mix master tape, so is a slightly different edit from the album.

Heh, are you kiddin'? Seriously, DM1 is one of the best productions of the
90's, and I think a lot of long-time TD fans who may not be, uh, totally
impressed by some of TD's more recent output would agree with me.
I also think Jens is right, in that devoting whole weeks to rather obsure TD
soundtracks seems a bit too much. The 2 soundtracks in a week idea sounds
good to me. What do you all think?
Anyway, we're having fun -- keep those discussions rolling!

I wouldn't totally agree with that. I've only got _HY1_, but there are at
least 2 tracks ( ;) ) on it that feature wht I'd say is material from the
Franke/Schmoelling era--'Goldhunter' has the Swamp Hag sequence from
_Legend_, and 'Chronos Mile' is, IMO, structured rather similarly to the
80s renditions of 'Silver Scale', even though the instrumentation is
completely reworked. 'South Camora' from vol. 2 is Logos-era material.
If anything, I'd say there are clear cases of them passing off '80s
material under their names!
In principle, I agree with the sentiment, for the same reason I came down
so hard on _Sohoman_, an album which I still refuse to buy no matter how
improved (or not) it may be. Most of the time, I like what TD does as
musicians and composers. I do NOT agree with how they operate as a
*business*.

Well, that was my original plan, but a few people managed to persuade
me to cover all official releases in chronological order, and on
reflection I tended to agree. Especially as many of the live albums
are studio composites, and of course the soundtracks are all recorded
in a studio! :-)

As far as I know, the BBC broadcast was merely a playing of the
Ricochet album along with concert footage, as opposed to an actual
concert recording.
Also, to answer a question posed by someone else.. yes there were
_two_ tours in 1975.. the Australian tour which ran from March 13 -
March 26, and was topped off with a concert at the Royal Albert Hall
on April 2, then they played in Munich on 25th April, and then played
The Orange Theatre in Paris on Aug 16th as a warm up to the European
tour which ran from 14th Sep - Oct 29th.
They played in Coventry again (not the cathedral) in November 1976 as
part of the Stratosfear tour.
One reason I find many concerts apparently happening on more than one
date, is the difference in USA and European date representation. E.g.
Coventry Cathedral was on 4/10/75 (i.e. 4th Oct ) which is
represented in the US by 10/4/75 (which to us appears to be 10th
April). Perhaps this is where the confusion lies???

I agree... DM is one of my top 10 TD albums... my concern was that all
of the music had appeared on previous albums... though I suppose the
new treatment warrants it's own discussion (seeing as nearly all of
them are better than the original versions! :-) )

I personally think that the totally original soundtracks (such as
Sorcerer next week) do warrant a full week, but I also think that some
of the soundtracks, especially those that are just cues of music or
reworks of old tracks could be doubled up to two a week. I'll try and
condense albums that are pretty much adjacent to each other
chronologically... e.g.
> - Week 36 - Shy People (Soundtrack)
> - Week 37 - Dead Solid Perfect (Soundtrack)
become one week...
and
> - Week 42 - Catch Me If You Can (Soundtrack)
> - Week 43 - Destination Berlin (Soundtrack)
become another week etc as recommended by Jens.
Any one else care to chip in?

I don't have Ricochet's every note memorized, but it sure sounds like
Ricochet. I doubt that TD would have wanted them to dub over the original
music. At least, I HOPE they wouldn't have wanted that, but with as wacky as

If so, please tell me which is which. I can't tell by the explanation/

I don't have this problem as I get all messages from tadream@o...
archived into one, single, message delivered daily to my inbox. I think it has
something to do with one of the options you choose when you sign up. I'm also a
member of app@r... (the Alan Parsons equivalent to this mailing list)
and my mailbox constantly gets bombarded with messages - most of which I don't
read - because it doesn't have that option.
Regarding the weekly album discussions, I think all Tangerine Dream albums - be
they live, studio or soundtrack should get at least half a week. Obviously,
major releases like 'Ricochet' and 'Stratosfear' warrant full weeks because,
let's face it, they are just soooo good! But then again, there's the fact that
TaDream have released so many albums, it's going to take almost a year for us
to discuss every last one.... and who here owns every TaDream album in
existance? One thing's for sure - I don't. I only own between 16-20 of them!

The new Vangelis is a compilation CD like 'portrait'. It contains tracks
from various 90's albums and two unreleased tracks 'Bitter Moon' and 'The

Your choice. but to clarify (again), this list (tadream) started out with
boots as a taboo. this is no longer the case. discussion of boots is
encourgaged, as they are an integral part of the fan experience, and are not
really offensive to Ed's kiester (>>lips puckered smacking sound<<). but
conducting the activity of trading them on the list is not OK. Joel is not
only a moderator of the [tadream] list, but set up the [tangerinedream] list
as an outlet for this purpose, or as I understand it, just for anybody that
doesn't like the idea that moderators will step in if needed.
I don't know what to say about the issue of cross-posting, other than I
suppose people do it to try to reach the largest audience possible. But
most of what gets cross-posted is wholly appropriate for this list. Look at
Craig's post 'My Intro' on 10/28. That is the perfect use of
[tangerinedream], as I understand it. (Joel correct me ifI'm wrong about
any of this).

(was a bit stupid on my part to pay any money for the services I wasn't
using regularly), so that address NO LONGER works. Please stop using it
effective as of today (yesterday actually, so you might get some bounced
mail)
I AM always using kayleigh@m... but have activated a BRAND NEW
address as well, if you want to send anything there (NO JUNK MAIL, if I get
this stuff I will filter it immediately). Send it to tootiehoot2@n...
thanks.

Subject: Phaedra: it the one that did it for me...
It's been a long time since I officially posted something,
but the discussion of Phaedra brought me out of the woodwork again.
(Be honest now, anyone recognize my name?)
It was the summer of, what was it now, 1976? I think so.
The place: Berlin. The wall was still solidly up.
The connection: my cousins in Berlin.
The albums: Phaedra (TD), and Timewind (KS).
That's what did it for me.
If you ask my cousins now: they scoff.
I think they are wrong.
Hope I never get that involved with life that I forget about music.
We're only here for a brief instant. Might as well make it worth while.
:-)
All the best!

Tom and Gustavo,
I was more looking for the value of the set, or what price YOU would have liked
to get for it if you were going to sell it. Considering what I payed for it in
100% new condition 2 years ago, 30 bucks is nowere near my asking price. (I am
not beeing greedy, just trying to recoup most of the costs.)

I think $60 sounds about right, and you also have to bear in mind that it is

It's not escpecially rare here in the US. It's still very nice and quite
pricey. The best NEW price I can find is $56. I only count places that
claim to have the set in stock. I found 2 places on the net, one selling
for $56, the other $62.
I have seen it physically in a used CD store in Little Rock AR for $45.
Should have bought it, but I haven't really had the spare cash to do that.
