Small correction...I forgot about PERGAMON (1980) of course. Side 2 is
definitely only one track, no argument! So that must be the last
one...unless I forgot another album.

That's all very well...but where on the Sheperd's Bush CD does it say
'live', 'recorded live' or any such thing? I would think that the only
critera this CD fulfills is that it was a studio release officially
released by TD at a concert. To associate this CD with a live album is
pretty far fetched, no? :-)
Hey Hermes, take it easy, we are just giving you a hard time, cause you
gave us a hard time too with that contest! :-)
By the way, if YOUR answer to the question 'live albums by TD' includes a
*cassette* (mei englisch ist not so goot...ist a cassette considderd ein
album?) Then you *compeletely ignored* a very important official live
release: THREE PHASE past, present, future which undoubtatly contains live
material (as we can all see with our own eyes) and is an official TD
release!!!

No, Steve, I have to disagree a little here. Technically, you are correct,
but from a compositional point of view, Tangram is not an album with
full-side pieces. (has this been discussed already?)
In my opinion, the last album to *really* have a full-side piece was
Cyclone, 1978 with 'Madrigal Meridian'. Up and including to that point,
indeed most TD pieces consisted of *one theme* that was either improvised
around, or constantly slightly modified, thus evolving, shifting in
different directions...but still staying in the same mood or style. The
first exceptions to this rule started occuring around that time e.g.
Encore's Monolight first and second parts of this track have nothing to do
with each other.
Then take Force Majeure...it really is already a sign of things to
come...the title track for the first time really consists of 5 or 6 totally
different segments. Yes, they are all linked either by cross-fading or by a
whirl of noise and effects...but to me it makes no real difference if two
musical tunes are separated by silence (as was the case with Exit and
onwards) or by noises (as in Force Majeure).
Coming back to Tangram...I would say it is an album with 5 tracks (2 on
side 1 and 3 on side 2). Logos...also 2 tracks on side 1! Poland...about 2
or 3 pieces per album side (I would need to listen to count them now).
Livemiles...also some 3 to 4 tracks per side.

Ok, as a person who travels back and forth occasionally (about 3 to 4 times
a year) between the US and Europe, I would like to answer that I didn't
really understand what you are trying to do.
Your idea was that these important items should not be trusted to the mail
or a FedEx-type of courier. But could you really avoid that? If I travel
from Berlin to Miami via plane, wouldn't that mean that any tape I take
would actually have to be entrusted to the mail twice (first from a
European city to me in Berlin and then from Miami to the 'end-user' in the
US)? So where is the advantage? Or are you talking about a pure personal
transfer (i.e. I could then only help people that are located in Miami who
happen to be exchanging items with someone in Berlin, and I would have to
find the time to meet them in person while I am on a business trip with
little time to spare?)
Sorry if I misunderstood your plans, but maybe you should 'sell us' on your
idea a little...once we see the advantage I am sure you will get more
responses.

Subject: D: Tangram
Really-From: Armin Theissen
Hi,
Tangram gets the highest rating possible on any scale.
Tangram has a very special sound. I don't know exactly which
instruments have been used, but I guess you can
hear on Tangram the first PPG digital synthesizers, and whatever
polyphonic analogue keyboards like Prophet, Oberheim or Roland Jupiter.
Lots of sawtooth and experimental sounds with a rich frequency
spectrum.
There seems to be lot of modulation in the sounds, probably to
overcome the effect that all these Prophets, Oberheims and Rolands
analogue polyphonic keyboards sound just like a better organ
because all the 6 or 8 voices are exactly the same. Just like
a string orchestra gets its sound because of all the individual
violins (or whatever) sound different. Did somebody mention here
that Chris Franke was involved in developing the Jupiter 8?
I wonder what he could have contributed, since it is the standard
2VCO-VCF-VCA setup all these keyboard had. The only specialities on
it were, I guess, the high-pass filter, and the key-follow at the
2 ADSRs...which is the only effective tool to make the 8 voices
of the Jupiters sound different!
Moreover, Tangram, seems like a little symphony. No long parts like
on Rubycon, Encore, or Madrigal Meridian. Instead, a bunch of pieces
nicely arranged together to two big one Vinyl side composition (as already
had on Force Majeure). Maybe this can be regarded as the transition
to smaller pieces like on Exit.
Special remark: no drums (almost)
Absolute highlight for me is the beginning of Part II. Wonderful
melting sawtooth-ish sounds and chord progression.

Subject: Side-Long Tracks
Really-From: 'Craig R. J. Cordrey'
To follow-up on Hilmar's discussion of side-long tracks,
perhaps the idea can be reversed. Can a side of many tracks
actually fit together as a single piece.
I would suggest that Song of the Whale parts one and two
(separated by silence) go together perfectly to make a
single piece of music. Whilst there may be different
instrucments used to the fore in various places, I always
think there is a single 'feel' to these tracks, which is
entirely differetn from what appears on the second 'side'.
If you don't understand what I'm talking about, try
listening to the two parts on Dream Roots. Apart from the
obvious travesty of having ripped out the start and middle
of part two, the pieces also seem to lack something (IMHO)
sue to their isolation from each other.
Or maybe it's just because part two is my favourite
all-time piece of music (by anyone, ever!).

Some albums simply have some kind of a concept concerning in
what order the 'songs' are put on Vinyl (or CD).
For instance 'Stratosfear' and 'Exit'. Putting the pieces together
in a different order does not result in the same feel for me.
Whereas on 'Lily on the Beach' it does not make any difference.

I can't speak to WWR availablilty, but I WOULD rely on Dave's answer.
Having worked in record stores for almost seven years, there is a number
of potential ways a current album may end up as a cut-out...
Most likely, it was a promotional copy that some greedy employees decided
to unload for a price, rather than using it for in store play, or giving
it a customer to generate interest in the artist or genre...

as described in the tangents booklet, it was just a joke.
The production of Stratosfear was a catastrophe: electronics went
kaputt, timepressure, problems with Baumann. To prevent becoming
completely fed up or desperate, Froese took this harmonica he
had somewhere. The result must have pleased them, and the atmosphere
in the studio was o.k. again.

I agree. It's just some boring chords. It doesn't mix with the original
tracks. I don't like Tangents and I won't ever buy it. The only interesting
things on this CD-set are a few bonus-tracks. I borrowed them from a

No. JP8 had a brand new and then-sophisticated digital control method

Hello all!
Set 1 is the reason why I´m here. I listened this a while ago (1986 I
guess), and was the right entrance to Tangerine Dream music. I remember a
friend of mine copied a few discs and gave me two tapes: one was Tangram/
Rubycon and the other Thief/ Flashpoint.
Set 1 is truly progressive electronic. The climax of this part is simply one
of the best passages I´ve ever listened (in terms of musical tension). And
the second part, more abstract, even cold and far and diverse from the first
side, is the perfect balance.
I consider Tangram the beggining of the TD peak era (Schmoelling era). So,
5AS!!!!!!!!!!!!

8>< snip!
Really-From: Hilmar Kraft <73627.3675@c...>
A real-life example: I had totally and entirely given up hope that my wife
(who is from Central America, thus a totally different cultural background)
would ever be able to appreciate TD. Knowing her musical taste (Salsa and
Soft Latino-Pop), I already prefer to listen to much of 'my' music over
headphones, but on a few occasions, TD was actually on my stereo when she
was there...I recall her disgust at Dream Mixes 'What is that techno
stuff?' or Ricochet 'Sounds so annoying and monotonous'.
><8 snip!
I would have to agree about that. The only person in my family who
can really appreciate TD's music is my older brother Dave (who got me into
electronic music with Carlos' _Switched_On_Bach_) but he's not as much of a
Dreamhead as I am, although I did take him to see TD in '86 & '88 (to thank
him for getting me into this stuff). Although the audience applauding at
times during the concerts prompted him to ask me what piece they were
playing. (he being not as knowing about TD's music as I am.)
My younger sister's comment about _Logos_ (on a road trip in *my*
car up to SF. I *did* tell her that since *I* was driving, I intended to
play *my* music.) was 'What *is* this? It sounds like dead people's music!
(in reference to one soundform)'
My friends main complaint about TD is 'Don't you have anything with
lyrics?' although I have slowly gotten them to appreciate TD. In fact, a
friend of mine now owns copies of _Le_Parc_ & _Thief_, and another owns a
copy of _Poland_ (*not* _Extracts_From_Poland_, I made sure of that)
Oh well, such is the life of the TD enthusiast. The nice thing
about this mailing list is that us Dreamheads can discuss ad infinitum & ad
nauseum to our heart's content about TD, without terminally boring our
friends, spouses & family members.
'The world of music is something on its own. It's absolutely dust-free, clear,
and clean. Music is one of the most neutral things on earth. It symbolizes
the 'highest frequency' of all art forms in its abstract, neutral
manner.' - Edgar Froese

I have similar experience, though from another direction.
One of my best friends is a keyboarder. He plays Korg Wavestation,
and some Roland modules. He composes mainly with computers, and
he'd never be interested in a keyboard without MIDI (though he
regrets that he sold his first keyboard ever, a Korg MS20).
He also plays flute and sings. He likes Jazz most, just like me, and
we agree that pop and rock music is essentially dead, after a
climax of creativity in the late 70s / early-mid 80s (probably due
to this f*&%ing MTV which uniformed the music taste all over the
world).
I tried to get him into TD with everything (except pre-Phaedra), but
he always finds it boring. He does not complain about lack of
lyrics, but mostly about uninteresting compositions.
There maybe interesting sound synthesis, but this is not what he
is looking for (though he has got a Wavestation).

A phenomenal recording and a peak in their career. One of my all-time faves.
It still has a strong impact on me even after all these years. I never

PS: Those of you on the list back in October may remember I was just starting
my CD collection database. I am in the letter 'S' and have inputted 967 CD's.
(The 70 Schulze CD's slow things down a bit with all of the German text in the
Silver and Historic Editions. No offense, I type faster in English!) After I
finish the 'Z's' I have to enter my 700 or so classical CD's. The grand total
will be around 2400. Hmmm....I'd better check my computer's memory!

Easy...Mojave Plan is 3 tracks, Sphinx Lightning is 2 tracks. Actually two
good examples of so called 'side-long tracks' that abruptly change their
musical style completely in the middle of the music.
Think about it, if they had faded Mojave Plan after the first segment, put
a silence of 2 seconds and started up with Mojave Plan second segment
(titled something else of course on the label) would there have been any
difference to the feel of the album?
Now try the same with Pergamon (Quichotte II)...fade...silence...new track
with a different name...huh??? it is still the same music!
This becomes very obvious on Tangents (and DRC I assume)...some pieces feel
wrong, not because of the remixing/rerecording, but because they are
shortened and cut down to the 'highlights', others are cut exactly down to
the segment that they originally occupied and sound much better in that
respect.

When I think of my most favourite albums, TD or otherwise, they are the
albums where everything flows from begining to end. Tracks have a link to
others either by theme or by sound. I'm not a musician so my vocabulary is
short in this area.
Some albums are a collection of non related songs, musical pieces etc.
Others blend superbly well and the album become one piece of work.
A non TD example is Supper's Ready' by Genesis. A collection of different
songs which becomes one 'movement' and really can't be split.
It could be said that the later TD material is collections of individual
tracks where the best of TD is when it all comes together.

Subject: Sounds and Effects bootleg/last track
Really-From: Tom Coppens
Hi there,
someone had some questions about the last track of the Sound and effects
bootleg, this track is indeed NOT House of The Rising Sun but Mark Shreeve
playing a live version of 'Assassin'. 'Assassin' itself is a remake of a
John Carpenter piece 'Assault on precinct 13 (?)'(don't know if I got the
title completely right). If you would like to hear a GOOD quality recording
of this piece, check out Mark's new Live album 'Collide' which is really
great both for his fans and people who have yet to discover this amazing
musician.
People yearning for another Rubicon or Ricochet should get his 'Redshift'
CD, I personally think it's better than Radio Massacre International etc,
although if you're not into the retro style of music (it's against some
people's principles ;) ) then this isn't for you, I'm afraid. But if you're
in the mood for this kind of music it can be a REAL treat !!!
If you'd like to hear House of the Rising Sun played by TD, you could try to
find the Argonautica Americana Bootlegs, there not that difficult to find. HotRS
is on 'Collected Endings' if I remember correctly (the third in the series).
Sweet T-Dreams,
Tom

I have 'Sorcerer' on CD also and the one gripe I have is that MCA didn't
remix/remaster it. The sound levels are artificially low and fail to

Really-From: Claude Roy
Hi all!
IT's the first time that I comment any TD albums
on the list but for Tangram it's a must situation!
For me if the followed question was made: If you can
only keep one CD from your entire CD collection what
it would be? Well Tangram would be my choice. I remember it
as if it was yesterday when I first listen to it. A friend of
mine had a great classical cd collection but had also
one TD album at the time Tangram. At the time I knew
not much from TD except Optical Race, Lily On the Beach, Miracle Mile
maybe Underwater sunlight and Tyger.
When he put on this music. I was completly mistify by the sonority
of the album. I had never heard stuff like that in my hole life. I could
not define any instruments in what I heard. It is so well blend, I mean
the keyboards, guitars and percussion. Everything is mix together to
form on global sound. It can almost be called a symphony. The classical
influence on this one are incredible. Part I is for me the most greatest piece
of music made by the band with Silver Scale (1980 UK and USA tour).
Well as for the Scaling thing. 5 AS even 6AS would not be enough for
Tangram!!!!!

Really-From: Boneheads1@a...
The beginning of Tangram hooks me. Like the start of Ricochet Part 2 (or
Tubular Bells for that matter), I don't think I'll ever get it out of my
head. Where Force Majeure addresses power, Tangram embraces beauty. It
shimmers with inner warmth and with macrocosmic geometrical sensibility.
Tangram swings with extremes, from quiet, tiny sounds to thick evolving
layers, from soulful piano/flute melodies to angular guitar/sequencer
repetitions.
Tangram (as the title implies) is like exploring a hidden dimension.
Individual pieces fit together to become a whole, yet it is the relationship
between the pieces that is the revelation, rather than the pieces or the
whole. Like a mathmatical principal that can be re-applied and compounded,
tangrams are a model of human understanding.
Tangram relentlessly tickles the mind, coaxing it to follow hidden trails.
There's not a lot of predictability, but rather perpendicular symmetry.
Every approach is peripheral. Every arrival is wondrous.

Schulze albums and titles. Here are the results:
Top Ten Klaus Schulze albums
1. Mirage, with a total of 274 points
2. 'X' with 226 points
3. Moondawn (The Original Master) with 221 points (but most people
voted for this!)
4. Historic Edition with 207 points
5. Silver Edition with 190 points
6. Timewind with 173 points
7. In Blue with 167 points
8. ...Live... with 166 points
9. Audentity with 126 points
10. En=Trance with 101 points
Top Ten Klaus Schulze titles
1. Crystal Lake, from Mirage
2. Floating, from Moondawn (The Original Master)
3. Bayreuth Return, from Timewind
4. Sense (complete version), from ...Live... (CD version)
5. Picasso geht spazieren, from the Silver Edition set
6. Ludwig II, from 'X'
7. Velvet Voyage, from Mirage
8. Wahnfried 1883, from Timewind
9. Into the Blue, from In Blue
10. Dune, from Dune
Return of the Tempel, from In Blue
Added to all this is an album I found yesterday. It's a double CD
called 'The Essential Klaus Schulze, 72-93'. It has some great photos
of Klaus looking very impish, and of course, music!
THE ESSENTIAL KLAUS SCHULZE
1.1- Irrlicht, I. Satz: Ebene [5:16] (from Irrlicht)
1.2- Totem [6:25] (from Picture Music)
1.3- Wahnfried 1883 [10:51] (from Timewind)
1.4- Floating [11:30] (from Moondawn)
1.5- Stardancer II [14:11] (from Body Love Vol 2)
1.6- Ludwig II von Bayern [10:00] (from X)
1.7- Death of an Analogue [12:15] (from Dig It)
2.1- Weird Caravan [5:04] (from Dig It)
2.2- Freeze [6:38] (from Angst)
2.3- Miditerranean Pads [14:15] (from Miditerranean Pads)
2.4- Dresden Five [8:32] (from The Dresden Performance)
2.5- Brave Old Sequence [10:54] (from Beyond Recall)
2.6- Silence and Sequence [11:54] (from Royal Festival Hall Vol I)
2.7- The Dome Event (Presto) [12:44] (from The Dome Event)
2CD [1994] Caroline Records-US- CAROL 1896-2 7243 8 39300 2 9
I think with all this, I _may_ be ready for my copy of the Jubilee
Edition, 25 CD box, when it arrives this summer or fall.
I plan on recycling 'The Essential Klaus Schulze'. Anyone interested in
trading for this, contact me off-list. Preference will be given to
those who can offer the SBM of 'Exit'.
By the way, I liked almost everything on these two discs.
Thanks again and fondest regards to all who helped.

I agree about the cheesy vocals. I tend to tune out the words now - but
the rest of the album is pretty good.
BTW I asked my daughter in law about Perry Rhodan as she is german, but she

Couldn't have said it better myself. Tangram was our first real exposure to
TD when we heard bits of it at a friends house. That openning riff still
stands out as one of the most enthralling little sequences that they've
ever come up with. It's so haunting and they use it wonderfully in the film
'Risky Business' almost as Joel's theme. The line 'Get off the babysitter,
Joel!' still puts me in stitches...

In my very humble opinion indeed, the whole point to TD music in those
days was to create a musical impression of an 'assembly' phase in
which melodic segments (such as the individual parts on Mojave Plan)
are blended into a diverse collection of song fragments that yet form an
entity. In an interview, Edgar Froese talked about TD as a living and
breathing creature...I reckon it might be something like that. Think about
the earlier pieces and the elaboration on single motifs and sounds as a
gathering phase, about the first half of the eighties as a synthetic or
assembly face (holding your breath, trying to make sense of the
multitude of impressions that have passed your way...), and the
contemporary TD music appears to be a diffusion phase, or another
gathering of material. Accordingly, splitting Mojave Plan in half would
contradict the musical direction TD were taking during that time, even if
it could be done, as you say quite rightly.

This will be off-topic!!!
Perry Rhodan is a science fiction 'pulp' magazine adventure (no comic
books, but novels) which started in 1961. Every week there is a new
Perry Rhodan. It was intended to be an adventure of about 30 episodes,
but it was, unexpected for all, a mega success right from number 1 on,
so it still exists today. I think they are now at number 1850
(roughly).
What is the story?
It started with the first (american) landing on the moon, set in the year 1971.
A good guess for the year 1961!. Perry Rhodan and three fellows are
on this flight. On the moon they find a huge alien spaceship which
crashed there just some time ago, the crew is unable to repair, which
is attributed to the fact that they are essentially too lazy or simply
uninterested - kind of 'degradation' because they are more interested
in some sort of video games.
Perry and Co. return to earth with the ('undegraded')
leading scientist of the (human-like)
aliens. They land in the Gobi desert, where they occupy territory and
establish a neutral power between the (american) west and the (russian and
chinese) east. With the help of the alien technology, they peacefully
prevent a nuclear 3rd world war and build up an industry to build
space ships for the aliens to return home. This alien scientist sees
in mankind the successor of the aliens who govern a huge empire throughout
the whole milkyway.
The alien mission was to find some mystic planet whose inhabitants know
the secret of eternal life, and together with Perry and fellows they
find this solar system and meet some kind of body-less superior entity,
and Perry and some
friends get some kind of implant which makes them immune against any
kind of natural deaths and aging - quite important for the story
which covers about 3000 years.
What follows is expansion of mankind into the galaxy and later to
other galaxies, leaded by super-boss hero Perry Rhodan, taking over the
empire of the degenerated aliens they found on the moon. And right *this*
lead to the critics that Perry Rhodan is obviously fashistoid.
It has, however, to be said that the series was intended to be
a short adventure, and suddenly the authors (about 10) saw themselves
forced to continue the story. On the fly, they were just able
to turn their story of 'mankind, east and west, come together and life in
peace' in pure action adventure.
Some years later, they could overcome this and moved away from the
pure war-adventure concept and created some interesting cosmology
in which live plays an important role (quite amusing to read since
modern cosmology has nothing to do with biology at all). Also,
Perry Rhodan is no longer that superhero figure, but there are a
couple of important characters in the set, and Perry Rhodan is by
far not playing the leading role alone. The story proceeds on
several parallel lines.
I have the feeling that Star Trek took over some ideas from Perry Rhodan.
as the Q-Continuum (in PR there are 'Cosmocrats' which sended human
representatives to the universe as known by mankind) or the Borg
(PR once had to deal with a half robot/half organic civilization
appearing in giant cube starships - obvious, don't you think so? and
these robot civilastion appeared in PR in the mid 60ies!!!!).
Each period of PR maches quite exactly the general taste of the
time it appeared. Probably because of this, PR was never successful
in the US. The first 100 episodes or so have been translated and
published in the US in the late 60s/early 70s, I guess, but it
was impossible to sell early 60s science fiction adventure at that
particular time.
A lot of the gigantanomania and look of PR was caught in the movie
Independance Day - funny since the director of Independance Day
was german. The story if ID matches the feel of early PR.
So far so good. Greetings from an old PR freak.

By coincidence I have just bought this. I found it in a market stall for
£4 ( $6). I think I got my moneys worth.
Now I know why I couldn't get the tune from HotRS.
The sound quality is a bit toppy but the music comes through all the same.

Really-From: Mark Filipak
Hi Dreamers,
This is a fortunate time to be reviewing 'Tangram.' I just bought the
SBM remastered version (Virgin TAND 11 -- that somehow made it's way to
the US) after having the original CD (Virgin CDV 2147) for many years.
The covers are different of course. The new one has the original LP
cover, red with 'TANGERINE DREAM' in a circle in the upper left, while
the old one was ugly: purple, framed in gray, with 'TANGERINE DREAM' in
block letters across the top.
But the music is subtly different! The notes in the opening
progression are slightly different. I couldn't believe my ears. I
didn't listen further but I plan to do a careful A/B of these two
versions. I was just wondering whether anyone else had noticed this and
whether any of the rest of the remastered 'TAND' series were likewise
subtly different from their predecessors. I no longer have the LPs, but
I'd like to know which version of 'Tangram' is most faithful to the LP.
This seems like mice nuts to me, but it was so surprising, I just had to
mention it.
'TAND 11' has in it's notes: 'High definition digital remastering by
Simon Heyworth at Chop 'Em Out, London.' It is not a new mix -- just a
remastering. How could the (musical) notes be different? How much
liberty does someone take when they remaster something?
Input from anyone in the industry and with first hand knowledge would
be very welcome.
Cheers,
Mark

I've got the definitive edition CD and the original Vinyl pressing.
The music is the same!
The cover of the CD is terribly wrong, crediting Peter Baumann instead
of Johannes Schmoelling.
The inner sleeve of the Vinyl Tangram had two additional photos.
They must have build a huge 'Tangram' logo and set it somewhere into
a rainy winter landscape. And: somewhere hidden, very tiny: Jerome.

Really-From: ljones@h... (Lars Jones)
**** warning long post, some controversial remarks *******
I know I won't have a chance to ever catch up and write these the way I
wanted to but I wanted to say something so here goes something:
D: sorcerer 4AS (but a very low 4)
I had a difficult time deciding whether this should be a 3AS or a 4AS... but
since I think I gave shy people a 4AS, I guess I have to give sorcerer at
least that much (that's twisted reasoning isn't it?)... still, parts of
sorcerer, when separated from the film (that is, taken only as pieces of
music) doesn't engage me to the degree of other films. Part of my problem
with ranking these four albums is their proximity to one another and my
thoughts on other albums from this period and I don't think sorcerer
measures up to, say, Rubycon to which I think I also gave a 4AS. But enough
of the methodological problems
In the context of the film, the s'track is excellent, meshing perfectly with
the subject and cinematography; the movie itself it also quite good but has
some gaps and unexplained ambiguities -- perhaps it would be more
understandable had I read the book or seen 'wages of fear'. the s'track
itself has some excellent pieces especially Search, Creation, Grind,
Betrayal. these are 4 really great tracks and it is hard to pick a favorite
but I lean towards 'Creation'. Some of the other tracks however, do little
for me (which is not to say they are 'bad') but just make me feel like there
is trail of S. American army ants winding its way up my back staircase and
into my house.... yeeeeccccchhhhhh. While living in Italy, we came back
late at night from a short trip and when we woke up in the morning, there
were these wide trails of thousands of ants all over our apartment (and we
keep a very clean house) -- they even were in our bed (which is where we
first found them) double yeeeeeeecccchhhh! If you've ever had ants in your
house (I mean lots of ants) you know what I mean when I say that parts of
sorcerer remind me of being in bed in the middle of a dark night with
bunches of ants crawling all over you. (please don't point out the
similarities between this and the pertinent passage in Electric kool-aid
acid test). I guess, in the context of the film, that was precisely what TD
was trying to do, give us the creepy crawlies, sort of like the jungle.
Well, it worked but I still don't get off on this soundtrack....
----------------------------------------------------------
D:Stratosfear 4AS (but a low 4as)
Stratosfear is, I think, the second TD album I bought and the 4th I heard
but it took quite awhile for it to grow on me. Beyond the title track I
didn't find that much to engage me; eventually though I came to appreciate
it. I think I bought this album because the title and the artwork really
turned me on, having heard RB, theif, and ricochet previously, I expected
something a little different; after the title track, I initially felt a
little let down, so I put it in the pile and went in search of some other
TD. It was, perhaps, my first 'disappointing' experience with TD.
'stratosfear' is, of course, my favorite track on the album. Perhaps it is
heresy but I must say that (after about 2 hours of side by side comparison)
I like Stratosfear 95 better than the original title track to this album.
In fact (considering that I also like theif yang), I look forward to hearing
more of what Jerome does with the old TD; in many ways I think I like what
Jerome has done with this material (on the few extant examples) better than
what Edgar has done with some of the remixing on Tangetns, DRC, etc. (this
is NOT to say that I don't appreciate Edgar's efforts only that I like what
Jerome has done, it is different and more radical). Cloudburst flight is my
favorite track of all and I would love to hear him do a remix of this
(Jerome, are you listening?!) or take on quichotte part 2 .... I'm really
interested in his reception of this material since he was really a part of
it (as a father myself, I can't imagine that Jerome did not, in some way,
influence his father or change his life from time to time and that this is
probably apparent in Edgar's music, but where I don't know)
the big sleep is, to me, much like the following two tracks on the second
side of the vinyl album which never got a whole lot of play on my stereo
since, unless the volume got cranked up, they would tend to go by unnoticed
(sometimes I'd heard stratosfear and forget that I had even heard the others
unless I sat down and made myself listen). the two tracks on this side are
defintely post-peak, resolution, wind-down type tracks but the album lacks a
really well organized climax and so, when the 4 tracks are put together on a
cd, they seem somewhat disjointed
3AM... has always reminded me of PF's 'Echoes' from Meddle and 'invisible
Limits' is a great closer but still a bit slow for my tastes (maybe because
I am a high stress type A person); in certain moods however, I think it is
wonderful, especially with the 'bell' sound around the 4 min mark.
----------------------------------------------------
D:Tangram 5AS (but a low 5)
There have been a lot of great reviews of this album/cd and there's not much
more I have to add except to say that while it comes from the peak moment of
TD I still feel to this day that it is not a perfect reflection of their
music. I think it is in general a really excellent piece of music but there
are parts (like the keyboard[?] fife sounds that sound something like
'yankee doodle' (track I, 4:13) that really turn me off. I love the music
of this period because it engages me and allows me to disengage from the
corporeal world; I love to sit back and let the music take me wherever it
and my mind want to go (this is sort of like the 'suspension of disbelief'
in literature and film and this is why I care less for shorter tracks). When
I hear these recognizable parts of track I, it brutally breaks off my
engagement with the music and the mental path that I am on. Taken in the
plotinian sense (those who haven't should read Plotinus in the context of
TD's 'epic' tracks, I think he's much more in tune to this stuff than was
plato in timaeus), in the middle of my ascent from the corporeal to a more
spiritual plane, these sounds jerk me back to earth and I must start the
process anew. Now I know this is only a personal reaction and it shouldn't
reflect on the music as a whole which is why I gave this album a 5AS. For
along time I was tempted to give this a 4 but I know that, in reality, it is
just too good; especially set II which is my favorite on the album and one
of my favorites of all TD tracks.
Are these side long tracks or not? if not, does it really matter? what
about separate movements of a symphony? are they not part of the same work?
or what of the separate panels of a painted polyptych? is what we seek not
the concept of the Whole/totality of the work? if edgar and Co had meant
these to be separate tracks would they not have separated them? After all,
they had already taken steps in this direction with stratosfear and FM (not
to mention sorcerer ST). I have to dismiss the debate on this. I define a
side-long track as one where the artists have made no physical separations
among the components. Among side-long tracks there are several types, those
which are more 'epic' in nature (upon which I have previously elaborate) and
others which I would call more 'symphonic' in that they are INTERNALLY (not
externally!) divisible into movements and specific themes. Yet even the
epic tracks still have divisions --as in quichotte part II where there there
are at least 4 parts: 1) the soft intro, followed by 2) the layering of
theme and variations, 3) the climax and 4) the resolution but these parts
are linked within a larger context, perhaps we could say by an external
direction or vector. I think the symphonic style tracks lack the notion of
a 'vector'; that is to say that their direction and organization is not
generated by some external attempt to structure or guide the work from
beginning to end (as an epic tale is structured from a distinct beginning to
a distinct ending); rather I think the organization is internal to each part
but that the parts are all linked by some obvious or not so obvious
characteristic (key, theme, mood, intrumentation, rhythm, title,
concept...). 'song of the whale' is a good example of a 'symphonic'
side-long track and is disreetly broken into two components (here, I would
argue that the silent moment joins rather than separates the two movements).
without over elaborating on this, I think that tangram is a good example of
an album that combines but the 'epic' (set II) and the 'symphonic' (set I)
styles of side-long tracks. Does tangram harken the so-called 'decay' of
long td tracks into short more 'air-playable' tracks (like those on Exit?) I
don't know but I think the direction to shorter tracks was inevitable.
-------------------------------------------------------
D: Theif 4/5??AS
I remember back around the summer of '81 or was it '82? I was helping a
friend wash his car and he had put in this really wild tape he had borrowed
from another friend and had cranked it up. I was mesmerized, just washing
and listening, I don't think we said hardly a word until the tape had
finished. I asked what it was and it was Theif--but I had never heard of
TD. Well that was in my (small) rural hometown and the local yokel record
stores didn't carry any of that long-haired acid-adled knob-twiddling music.
Eventually I was able to buy td when I returned to college. Lately I hadn't
been able to listen to this album from the death of my turntable (sometime
in the late 80s) until I finally found a cd of it in London in november. It
was great to hear it again after such a long absence. I really do like this
sound track a lot and think it is one of, if not their absolute best
soundtrack. Only Risky Business had a chance at surpassing theif for this
honor but because there are so few TD tracks on RB it is disqualified from
consideration as only a half TD album
In the context of the film, this is another ST that rocks and meshes really
well with the film script and cinematography. The film is pretty decent but
not fantastic--unless you are a Mann's man :-)
my favorite tracks are: diamond diary (which is really a mini epic), scrap
yard, and igneous (really from TMR on FM) and even dr. destructo and burning
bar ain't bad 't all; the beginning of beach SCENE certainly seems to owe
more than a little to mike oldfield's tubular bells.
can someone explain/give the differences in track listings between the
various issues of this ST? I have the virgin SBM version (UK tand12) with
beach theme, dr destructo, diamond diary, burning bar, beach scene, scrap
yard, trap feeling, igneous; my vinyl (Elektra 5E-521) has beach theme, dr.
destructo, diamond diary and burning bar on side one, just like the first 4
tracks on the cd but the second side is missing beach scene and has scrap
yard, trap feeling, igneous and confrontation. since i don't have a
turntable or tape, can someone straighten me out on this? I know it has
come up from time to time but with this D:week (and with mark F's
discography in progress) now might be the time to hash it out once and for
all.

I understand that the CD soundtrack for 'Vision Quest' does not contain
Tangerine Dream music, but the video does and Tangerine Dream is credited
for the music on the cover.
Does this hold true for Michael Hoenig's 'The Wraith'. I read that he is
credited for the soundtrack, but the CD contains heavy metal music. Can
anyone verify this and confirm if this is similar to 'Vision Quest' ,i.e.,
music on video, but not released on CD soundtrack??

I've bought the Vinyl immediatly as it was released in Germany back
in 1981. It is identical to the SBM CD (with Beach SCENCE, but without
Confrontation), but the track listing on the cover does not say
Beach Scene, but lists Confrontation by this other guy (whose name
eludes me for the moment). So the cover info there is wrong.

i borrowed it, went to another friend's house to tape it, and voila-i was
completely hooked. knowing then that i would want use computers to make music
along with other instruments- this seemed like a blueprint. so many facets of
what really moves me are contained in this recording. what really stands out
after all this time(realization in 1982-i was 15) is that the whole
album/cd/recording is so complete and seamless.

The Virgin and Elektra releases are identical *except*, Virgin has 'Beach
Scene' (after 'Burning...') and Elektra has 'Confrontation' as the last
track (by Craig Safan, who wrote the theme for Cheers and I think some of
the Nightmare on Elm St's , IINM). These are the only versions I know of.

Edgar & Co. never gave a damn on what other people (e.g. listeners

so much good music over a quarter of a century.

Thief, without a doubt, ranks up there as one of my favorties, and
'Diamond Diary' is probably my favorite TD track of all time. That track
in particular seems to have the combination of Baumann-era and
Schmoelling-era TD that I find so intoxicating. I also find it on
Pergamon and (to a lesser extent) Tangram.
A friend of mine met Michael Mann a few months ago, and when asked about
TD he had nothing but praise for them, from their music to their
business relationship. He said his only regret was that he couldn't get
them to do more soundtracks. Which reminds me: Mann directed a film
called 'Band of the Hand' in 1986. The TV commercial featured an excerpt
from Poland, but TD music didn't appear in the movie, the credits or on
the soundtrack. I wonder if they were negotiating to do the soundtrack
and then it fell through?

Tangram impressions:
Part1:first 8-10 min very nice short/evolving sequences - nice coda
Part2:another symphony of sounds begins,excellent start,longer
sequences,coda is excellent
Part 1 is more impressive as a whole as part 2, but part 2 has fantastic
begin and end.
Part 1+2 together make for me the best ever TD album, 5AS.
I was wandering if anyone has 'sliced' tangram to the 'small parts' like

There's TD music in the movie, but not a lot. What little there was
didn't make the CD, since the money people involved figured the Madonna
and Journey tracks would rake in the bucks. I recall only one major
sequence in the film, where the lead character is in a climatic wrestling
match. The music here is similar to 'Taking the Park' from The Park is
Mine...maybe a bit of 'The Kitchen' from Legend. Nothing spectacular,
unless you're a total completist....and we don't have anyone like that on
the mailing list, of course. ;-)
As for Wraith, I haven't even heard of it, but there are at least two
dozen movies out there with unreleased TD music.

I recall reading once that Mann wanted TD to score the Miami Vice series,
but they were already tied up with Streethawk, or something like that. So
we got Jan Hammer instead!

I agree with you, Armin. An artist should always go his own path.
*But*, I think, an artist should always listen to the opinions of
the listeners. What an artist will do with these opinions is his own
cup of tea.
Now they aren't going their own path (listen to Dream mixes
and the various samplers - I call it lack of inspiration).
This is the reason why they could produce so much good music
for only 20 years. (sorry if I may offend some of you)

Yep. Three to be precise: Cyclone, Electronic Meditation, and Tyger. No,
no, only joking: the three are Force Majeure, Richocet and Logos Live.
IMO, these three do stand ahead of the rest of the pack; hence when
confronted with a five point integer scale, these three get five and the
next rung down get 'fours'.
BTW, I actually took the time out last night to do *nothing* except for
listening to some music -- it's something I've not done for over two years!
A sultry summer's evening, various oil burners in place, a darkened room,
TD (Tangram, FWIW), FSOL, Oldfield and Jarre on the stereo -- I must do it
more often!

Subject: THE COMPLETE RISKY BUSINESS
To: Tangerine Dream Digest
With all the boots floating around, I'm surprised that no one has
issued one with all the obscure RISKY BUSINESS-related material. After
all, there are a total of 12 RISKY BUSINESS musical tracks that do not
appear on the CD. Let me explain: originally, the UK RISKY BUSINESS
soundtrack was issued on LP with TD tracks evocative of LEGEND; and
later, the LP (and CD) was issued with music evocative of WHITE EAGLE--
while there was a 2-LP hype package of RISKY BUSINESS promos (named
'Risky Business // The Audio Movie Kit') that contained an interview
with Chris Franke and 8 TD tracks.
Only one track on the original pressing of the LP is the same as
those on the second pressing/CD, but I forget which it is.
Here's what's on the three records at issue, with running times
quoted from VOICES IN THE DUNES (except for that of Track 2 on the
First Pressing of the LP, which was listed incorrectly):
RISKY BUSINESS--First UK LP Pressing
(LEGEND-like sound)
Matrix stamp on LP side 1: A-2U-1-1
Matrix stamp on LP side 2: B-1U-1-1
FROM SIDE ONE:

Track 3.) 'No Future (Get Off the Babysitter)' 1:55 [VOICES is wrong]
Track 4.) 'Guido the Killer Pimp' ............ 4:17
Track 5.) 'Lana' ............................. 3:52
FROM SIDE TWO:
Track 11.) 'Love on a Real Train' ........... + 2:15

Track 3.) 'No Future (Get Off the Babysitter)' 2:00
Track 4.) 'Guido the Killer Pimp' ............ 4:18

-----
Combined Total of the Three Sources 46:27

Rare RISKY BUSINESS Stuff (minus the CD Tracks) 31:48
Don't forget that one track on the original pressing of the LP is
identical to the corresponding track on the second pressing/CD, but I
forgot which it was.
Now then, don't you think the above-mentioned material would make
for a nice boot? And if so, how about rounding out the package by
putting all the material (46:27) together on one boot and adding the
'Lady Greengrass' single (by Edgar's earlier band, the Ones) and the
'Ultima Thule' single? It would add up to about an hour. See below:
LADY GREENGRASS A-SIDE:
'Lady Greengrass' ............................. ? (According to one
LADY GREENGRASS B-SIDE: collector's list, the
'Love of Mine ................................. 6:00 sides total six mins.)

The biggest question is: why do I go to such lengths just to
fantasize about a project that will probably never take place? I
dunno, but it's a real shame not to make available all three sources
of RISKY BUSINESS music in one place . . . and to add on the music
from the two singles would be great because the only other way to
obtain the music on them would require buying two import-only CDs!
P.S.: I'm the one who discovered the difference between the two
versions of the commercially-available RISKY BUSINESS LPs, in the
first place. Originally, I told one of the Grygorcewicz brothers
about it, and the info was then passed on to the compilers of VOICES
IN THE DUNES (which, back then, was to be called MUSIC IN THE RUINS).

Subject: New Info re the Two Versions of RISKY BUSINESS
To: Tangerine Dream Digest
Howdy All,
After looking for five years, I've finally happened across another
copy of the first pressing of the RISKY BUSINESS soundtrack. This time,
though, the record has yet *another* pair of matrix stamp numbers. The
first version I ever saw was:
RISKY BUSINESS--First UK LP Pressing
(LEGEND-like sound)
Matrix stamp on LP side 1: 2302 A-2U-1-1
Matrix stamp on LP side 2: 2302 B-1U-1-1
and the second version I ever saw was:
RISKY BUSINESS--Second UK LP Pressing and CD
(WHITE EAGLE-like sound)
Matrix stamp on LP side 1: 2302 A-3U-1-1
Matrix stamp on LP side 2: 2302 B-3U-1-1
but now, I have a third version that has the following numbers:
RISKY BUSINESS--1.5 (?) UK LP Pressing
(LEGEND-like sound)
Matrix stamp on LP side 1: 2302 A-2U-1-1
Matrix stamp on LP side 2: 2302 B-2U-1-1-1
The track times on this 1.5 version are the same as those on the
First version.
Also, while I'm here, I may as well clear something up. VOICES IN
THE DUNES incorrectly gives '3. No Future (Get Off the Babysitter)' a
time of 2:55 for the LP (p. 190), but the correct time is 1:55. VOICES
IN THE DUNES also incorrectly lists the matrix code on p. 191 as being
'2303-A-2U-1-1' when it should be '2302 A-2U-1-1' Last but not least,
VOICES IN THE DUNES incorrectly lists the matrix code on p. 193 as
being '2302-A-3U-1-1' when it should be '2302 A-3U-1-1' I know that
this seems rather picky, but now you know.
P.S.: I'm the one who discovered the difference between the two
versions of the commercially-available RISKY BUSINESS LPs, in the
first place. Originally, I told one of the Grygorcewicz brothers

Subject: _-_-_-_Celestine Prophecy_-_-_-_
Really-From: PNaunton@a...
Hi, Everyone,
Another off subject meander, sorry, but I felt the need to ask.
Franke's 'Celestine Prophecy' has seen much play at our house of
late. I guess it helps to dilute the winter doldrums. While it was playing
the other day, I happened to look at the liner notes, and way in the back
where it says, 'Music Composed by Christopher Franke/Music Performed by
Christopher Franke and the Berlin Philharmonic Film Orchestra/Conducted by
Alan Wagner.' it goes on to say 'Additional Performances by . . .' and
rattles off a multitude of other names including Paul Horn.
My thoughts were, 'How much of this music _was_ composed by Franke
and how much was written by others?' I thought when I heard it the first few
times that it was extremely multi-faceted, perhaps too multi-faceted to have
been written by one person, at least in a short period of time.
Is it possible that Frank wrote the main themes and the bridges
connecting some of the other sections, (no mean task in itself ) and this is
just, other than that, a collection of 'New Age' pacifiers?
I still like it, though.

Does that mean your LP is catalogue number '203 472-270', Armin? -- if
so, I will list it with the comment
(cover error: lists 'Confrontation' instead of 'Beach Scene')

Really-From: feldon@n...
In a recent summary of the contents of Tangents (which was posted here), a
star appeared next to every song that was completely reperformed by Edgar.
Logos (Blue), (Red) and (Velvet) were all starred. I think this is a mistake
because only Blue seems to be 'from scratch'. Having listened to the CD and
the boot of the concert, Red and Velvet are from the concert with the
standard Tangents treatment: bass thickening, re-equalizing and sinewaves
(can someone give me a better name for the smooth 'sweet' pure synth
string-like sound that Edgar laid over about 1/3rd of Tangents songs?).

If what you say means that you don't like the music they played in the
so-called Melrose and Seattle years, don't you think that Goblins Club is
a step into a new direction? I must say, it's only now that I begin to
appreciate the 'Melrose Years' music (which began to sound trite after
'Lily on the Beach' which in my view is a rather positive album that
offers some little light music in spite of not producing anything
groundbreaking), and the Seattle Years are something I still don't,
musically, understand. What I really really like about Goblins Club is
that they seem to reduce their use of guitars as the main lead voice and
of saxophone solos, both of which they have been taking a bit over the
top recently. I think you can actually appreciate the intricacies of the
composition more if you don't have a really loud guitar roaring from
beginning to end...

Yes. And we fans got 'Escape From Television' and 'Beyond The Mind's
Eye' from Jan -- two fine albums we probably wouldn't have seen except
for Miami Vice. And we still have TD. Sounds pretty 'win-win' to me.
I sincerely doubt Edgar is kicking himself -- I hear he's sold a few
albums in the last 9 years.

Hi,
I cannot really check the catalogue number of my Thief Vinyl since
I've got all my Vinyl in Germany (and I'm in Northern Ireland), but
I'm pretty shure that all my Virgin TD Vinyls carry 9 digits
catalogue number, so probably '203 472-270'.
The cover is just like the CD definitive edition, except sleeve notes
arranged on the back different (and correct: Schmoelling instead of
Baumann, and not 'live').

Really-From: Neal McAuley
I loved the movie 'Thief' before I even found out about TD and when I got
into TD later and noticed they did the music, it made the movie even
better for me. I recently got the re-mastered laser disc of the movie
that just came out.
The only problem I had with the CD of the soundtrack was the omission of
'Confrontation' which is an incredibly good song. It's also the end theme
of the movie and I've never had another soundtrack that omitted the end
theme. Seems kinda silly to me to not include it on the album simply
because TD didn't compose it. Of course, in all the moves I've lost my
original vinyl of Thief so all I have left is a bad tape copy of
'Confrontation' on a tape somewhere.

_Tenchi-Muyo In Love_ is an anime feature flick based on the
'Tenchi-Muyo' TV series. Chris Franke wrote the music for the film, in a
style closest to B5, but with hardly any synth at all (but that is what
the producers wanted). The ST also has one more rock-oriented song,
'Alchemy of Love' (music and lyrics by Chris) which I'd describe as
appallingly bad.
