New? I bought mine four+ months ago in October.

| 659.2 | TD's older collection... | GENRAL::SEAGLE | Going nowhere, but making good time | Tue Mar 03 1987 19:43 | 8 |
| Does anyone have TD's "Dream Sequence"? It is a two-disc set which
is a compilation of their alleged "best" works over the past
10 or so years. A review I read claimed that this disc was incredible
and that the net running time was something like 135 minutes. Can
someone supply more information/input? Is this *really* their "best"
stuff or is that just media hype? Worthwhile addition? Help?
David.

| Well, I have "Dream Sequence" on vinyl; it's a three record set.
In my humble opinion, it's a great introduction to their stuff;
the recording does span some years, but I don't think it was intended
to be a "best of" compilation. I've been looking for the CD version
for about six months now, but have yet to find it - have you seen
it?

| re: -.1
Unfortunately I have yet to come across "Dream Sequence" in the
stores either. As you mentioned it is quite scarce. I was trying to
"do my homework" so that if, and when, I see it I can snatch it up
without hesitation! Sounds like this baby's on my shopping list.
I'll keep everyone apprised of the situation,

| About three weeks ago I saw "Dream Sequence" in Rock'n'Mania
in Framingham, Massachusetts. Don't be put off by the name of
the store -- they have sections of jazz and classical CDs also.
They also had five or six other Tangerine Dream CDs.

(Re .1)
Yes, I realise now it isn't exactly new - it's the latest, anyway.
I hadn't been looking under ``Tangerine Dream'' for a while, so I
guess I assumed it was new when I found it.

| Yesterday I got the last copy from World Records here in Indianapolis.
Keith, the owner said it was "rare". Thought it was hype, but guess
not.
Heres the index. You decide if it is "the best of" or not:

Love on a real train
Hate that work "excerpt"! By the way, I paid $40 bucks for it,
which I keep telling myself is O.K. since there is about 3 discs-worth
of playing time there. ... and you don't have to flip it over

| 659.8 | Tangs rule OK | DECWET::THOMAS | A legend in his own lunchtime | Fri Jun 12 1987 21:12 | 9 |
| On a (sort-of) tangent - does anybody out there remember the original
Tangerine Dream, when they still used drums and guitars (and presumably
just one guy on Cynthia Size A). The only title I can remember was
Atem. Excellent stuff.
On a different tangent, I stopped listening to the Tangs around
the time they came out with Rubicon, but recently have started
listening to that stuff again. Can anyone tell me how their latest
stuff compares ?

| 659.9 | Get "Green Desert" | KALLON::EIRIKUR | Eir�kur Hallgr�msson | Mon Jun 15 1987 14:30 | 29 |
| The very first T.D. album, "Electronic Meditation" with
guitar/organ/percussion is out on CD from "Relativity."
It's a piece of history. I played it once and shelved it. I really
should get it out again. I went through a rediscovery period and
played "Atem" and "Alpha Centauri" often for a few months. I'd
like to find "Zeit," a double album from that period, on a single
CD, but I haven't seen it at all.
BTW: I hate the Relativity label CD reissues. They have a generic ugly
cover that is exactly the same for all of the old T.D. albums, changing
only the background color. None of the text or art from the original
release is included. Phillistines!
I recommend "Green Desert." This mid-period album was never released.
It was recorded between "Phaedra," a personal favorite of mine, and
"Rubycon." It has a lot of guitar on it, which is interesting since
the albums which bracket it do not. It is on the "Relativity Theory"
label, and has real cover art. It has just been reissued on
"Relativity" with the ugly generic cover--at least it's green.
Snap up the "Relativity Theory" issue with the real cover.
Wish I had a midified Mellotron, I do, I do.

| 659.10 | Another Tangerine Dream disk! | HPSCAD::DDOUCETTE | Care for life. | Fri Jul 31 1987 13:06 | 6 |
| I've just got ZEIG, and two disk TD I picked up at Lechmere
for only $16!! (18.99 less 15% discount). It's (c) 1987 and has
about 80 min. of music, I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet,
review to come after this weekend.
This is the second album this year!

| 659.11 | Edgar Froese solos appear! | DSSDEV::HALLGRIMSSON | Eir�kur Hallgr�msson | Fri Jul 31 1987 15:21 | 26 |
| I've been hoping that some of the solo albums from the core Tangerine
Dreamers would appear, and it seems that we are in luck!
Edgar Froese's "Aqua" and "Epsilon in Malaysian Pale" are out on CD
from Virgin, the original label. These come with the original covers
and liner notes.
"Aqua" seems like a bunch of sketches that were left off of "Phaedra".
It's heavy on the sound effects and random noodling. Pretty dated.
"Epsilon in Malaysian Pale" is one of my very favorite recordings ever.
It consists of two orchestral-keyboard fantasies for solo double-manual
Mellotron. This album doesn't mention the two-keyboard Mellotron Mark
V in the liner notes, but since I think that this was essentially
recorded in one pass, that has to be what was used. This one is right
up there with the very best Tangerine Dream albums, and personally, I
find it more listenable these days. Since it's a fairly quiet album, I
was longing for the CD without all of the LP surface distractions.
(Now I'm waiting for Peter Baumann's "Romance '76," and
"Transharmonic Nights.")

| 659.12 | ZEIG two-disk album | HPSCAD::DDOUCETTE | Care for life. | Mon Aug 03 1987 14:27 | 12 |
| Boy did I screw up..
First off, ZEIG was origonally published in the early '70s. It is an
interesting album, not like their later works. It's good meditative
music, almost hypnotic. It was released this year, but the Master is
in excellent shape. I think that they may have digitally filtered the
Master before the recording since there is virtually NO noise.
I haven't seen any new albums this year, the one I thought of was
"Underwater Sunlight" which came out last year.
Oh, well.
|
| 659.13 | TYGER | COMICS::HUDSON | that's what I think | Thu Aug 06 1987 09:04 | 10 |
| There is a new TD album out just recently here and available on
CD with an extra track not on the lp - "Tyger" [sic]. I haven't
bought it yet.. they seem to have a policy over here of discounting
td albums not long after the initial release, thus you can get
underwater sunlight lp/cd for �3.49/�8.99 respectively, whereas
the just released stuff is around �6/�12, so i feel like waiting
a while.

ps isn't the album mentioned in .12 called ZEIT?

| 659.14 | Soundtrack to Risky Business | HPSCAD::FENNELL | Tim Fennell | Mon Aug 10 1987 17:51 | 10 |
| Was some Tangerine Dream material used some of the soundtrack to "Risky
Business"? I remember liking the music, and finding out later they did it.
If so, Is this a representative sample of what they sound like? Is this
music on any of their albums? I have been trying to find a soundtrack so I
can look it up, with no success.

| 659.15 | Ayuh | HPSCAD::WALL | I see the middle kingdom... | Tue Aug 11 1987 09:40 | 11 |

I don't how representative that is of their music, but that's
definitely them on the Risky Business soundtrack. I don't know
if they wrote original stuff, or adapted it from other albums.
Some of the pieces have titles like "The Dream is Always the Same"
and "Guido the Killer Pimp" which only make sense in the context
of the movie.
I haven't seen the soundtrack on CD, much to my chagrin.
DFW
|
| 659.16 | Ok, but not their best format. | DSSDEV::HALLGRIMSSON | For that reason; consequently; hence. | Tue Aug 11 1987 15:08 | 9 |
| The "Risky Business" material is fairly representative. Unless
you are particularly fond of some cut from the soundtrack, I would
suggest that you get "Underwater Sunlight" instead.. The soundtracks
tend to consist of short (scene-by-scene) pieces that are short and
chopped-up compared to the lengths that T.D. usually works in.

| 659.17 | If you've got the time, I've got the ears... | CSC32::D_RODRIGUEZ | | Mon Aug 31 1987 21:11 | 5 |

I know of TD, but don't have any of their music. Would anyone
know all the releases they've had? Care to list your favorites?
Dan
|
| 659.18 | My notion of their high spots | DSSDEV::HALLGRIMSSON | Eir�kur Hallgr�msson | Thu Sep 03 1987 10:46 | 32 |
| My absolute favorite is the cut "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand
of Nightmares" from the 1972 album "Phaedra." "Phaedra" is, structurally,
mostly analog sequencer-pattern bass lines, Mellotron (keyboard
activated tapes of orchestral strings) chords, and modular synthesizer
melody voices. There is also a fair amount of "found" sounds and
treated percussion. It's a relatively quiet album, quite low levels
in spots. The CD medium saves it from the surface noise that marred
the LP.
There are lots of T.D. albums...
The "Encore" live double album (uncut as one loooong 70+ min. CD) is an
excellent value (single CD price) and a nice sampler of their material,
though it's a mid-70's snapshot. Good sound, especially for a live
album.
If you find that you like the '70's TD material, be sure to get
"Epsilon in Maylasian Pale," which is a solo album by Edgar Froese,
on Virgin.
The recent "Underwater Sunlight" album is quite nice, too. I wouldn't
have thought that their style had a place for the bright mallet
percussion sounds of the Yamaha DX architecture digital synthesizers,
but they fit them in beautifully.
I'd stay away from the latest, "Tyger." I could swear that they
produced this to break a contract.

| 659.20 | Thanks for posting this list! | DSSDEV::HALLGRIMSSON | The piano has been thinking... | Thu Dec 24 1987 11:02 | 17 |
| I assume that you are looking at your copies of the releases in
question, or have some reference... This is an impressive listing.
Hmmm. Green Desert comes before Phaedra. I question that. It
has electronics replacing the role of the Mellotron as used on Phaedra
and Rubycon. Maybe they came late to the Mellotron, but that seems
backwards to me. Weirdest thing about Green Desert is the normal
rock-band percussion! I haven't played Atem for a while and I forget
if it uses percussion.
It would be nice to fill your listing in with the solo albums.
I'd have to get my records out of the basement. I don't trust the
paucity of data on the CD's.

| I saw a 1987 film last night, "Near Dark," which had a nice Tangerine
Dream score. It was by far the best score/film integration that
I have seen them accomplish. They must have had access to the
film--they often haven't.
Anyone seen the soundtrack? This film disappeared without a trace
about one week after opening. I saw it at a revival house.

| 659.23 | Optical Race, and Tour! | DSSDEV::HALLGRIMSSON | Eir�kur, CDA Product Manager | Mon Aug 15 1988 14:42 | 20 |
| New T.D. studio album: "Optical Race." I like it. Recorded
May/June 1988. On Private Music, the label run by Peter Baumann,
formerly of T.D.
This album is the first time I have seen T.D. with less than three
members. "Optical Race" credits just two composers/performers, Edgar
Froese, and an unknown (to me). The album was sequenced on an Atari ST
with Steinberg/Jones software. It doesn't sound sequenced.
It's a very nice sounding album. It sounds to me as though they
have picked up some Kurzweil gear.
My eagle-eyed housemate spotted mention of a T.D. concert in New Haven,
Connecticut on September 9th. I don't know what the venue is or
how to get tickets. Anyone with that information, please speak
up! There is supposed to be a New York City date as well.
Eirikur
|
| 659.24 | The tour is for real | BENTLY::MESSENGER | Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics | Wed Aug 17 1988 13:53 | 17 |
| The other member is Paul Haslinger, who has been around since
"Underwater Sunlight". He replaced Johannes Schmoelling, who didn't
want to tour anymore (or so I'm told). "Optical Race" is Haslinger's
4th album with Tangerine Dream (the others are "Underwater Sunlight",
"Tyger" {need I say, "Yecch"?} and "Livemiles").
Yes, there is a North American tour SOON. They will be playing at
the Berkeley Community Theater and a venue in the LA area in or
around 22-Sep-1988. I heard that Andy Summers will be opening for
them in Berkeley...
Regarding the loss of Chris Franke... he's been with Froese and
Co. for a _long_ time, and provided the rhythm nerve center for
TD. His loss is severly felt in "Optical Race"... the rhythm all
sounds sequenced and mechanical, without Franke's subtlety...
