There appear to be TWO separate frequency ticks, and they alternate between the L and R channels. What does this mean? Dunno.

I was assuming they used the original 31 minutes of the concert plus some extra year 2000 sounds thrown in. The original 31 minutes would have the noise but the rest shouldn't. The noise starts during the new layers, why have the noise in the new layers if the noise is a by-product of the original recording? This, at first glance, seems to be a mastering flaw. Noise starts at minute 3 during the new layers then goes on till the end through the old layers too, same level, same pitch, same panning effect from the new layers to the old layers.

Easy enough to do. The wonders of technology. Who knows... in any case it is a nuisance. It is odd that it ping-pongs between the L and R channels though, which would make me think otherwise about a mastering flaw. We may never know the truth.

The title is actually 'The Headless Horseman of Hutton Henry' and the name of the group is wEirD. This was the demo CDR that became the wEirD album 'A Different Kind of Normal' on Neu Harmony. The version you have is an early one, but it is still mastered to the same standard. The two members of wEirD are also in Kubusschnitt, there's a website at www.kubusschnitt.de, they have more product that wEirD, BTW.

Along with Tom Coppens, Ruud Heij, Kent Eskildssen (apologies if mis-spelt) and probablt some others, they form a fairly incestuous collection of musicians who record under a variety of names : Weird Kubusschnitt Nemesis Token Angle Kenton Files Nemesis and probably a few others I've missed. Since Andy appears reluctant to promote his own music, I'll do it for him : See Kubusschnitt and AirSculpture at Jodrell Bank, UK on 10th May. Kubusschnitt's new CD, The Cube, is available now (or soon?) on Neu Harmony. Also from Neu Harmony's CD-R label off-shoot is their first album, The Case.

Actually, Moby is a one man band. And Play is an excellent record, but quite different from the James Bond theme that he did. Moby's career has taken him from rave anthems like 'Go' and 'Next is the E', to ambient, to angry rock on the 'Animal Rights' record, and club dance music with 'Every Time You Touch Me'. 'Play' takes these styles, and throws in field recordings of American blues singers made in the early 20th century. It's a brilliant combination; the best thing he's done yet (just my opinion, of course).

But I don't. I agree that the LeVay stuff on the album is excellent, the best on the album in fact. Not to say the TD music isn't good, but they were really reigned in on this one and had no chance to really explore any substantial musical ideas since the tracks were so short. Or maybe they did and the best stuff was cut out by the producer. At least the movie wasn't as bad as Near Dark. That has to be the worst one I've ever seen.....ever.

Out of the swamp, and back in the desert. I got back from Georgia yesterday, and I must say it was a well-needed trip for me. It was a fantastic experience all around! The park was beautiful and not crowded by a long shot. It was also great getting to meet Vic, Marcel, James, Jim, Tom and Roger. So now there are faces to go along with the names in the emails. It was also great having the opportunity to make music with Marcel. I enjoyed it more than I would have thought! I hope to do it again sometime, if he ever needs another keyboardist or drummer, or both. :-) It was great getting to hang out with other people who share what is normally a solitary interest for me. We were like longtime friends getting together to enjoy music and nature for a couple of days. I only wish that I could have stayed another day or two. I'm sorry that more people couldn't share in the experience, it was fantastic! Although, I guess that if our group was too large, we might not have had as much free reign of the place as we did. :-) Anyway, my thanks goes to Vic for getting it all together, and his hospitality and generosity. It was a trip to remember for a long time. And it's something I'd definitely would do again. And to think, this trip would have probably never happened had TD never composed a certain song with a title that referred to the Okefenokee! Dave B.

Is it all new content never > before released, or is it just a small sectin of new material, like sohoman. All the music on 'Soundmill Navigator' is totally new. NOTHING of it was officially released at an earlier date. The concert took place on June 27th, 1976 at the Philharmonic Hall in Berlin. The booklet says that what can be heard on SN is only the first half of the concert. As far as I know no-one has a recording of Part 2 (and the encore, if there was any). The original recording (which had a length of 30 minutes) was broadcasted on German Radio (on the same day?) with the artificial head system ('Kunstkopf'), but there also exists a 'normal' audience recording. To sum it up: Soundmill Navigator's music is 100% (or shall I say 150% ;-) new.

Well, the details of Soundmill Navigator are listed on TDI's website, but if you need them, essentially, Soundmill Navigator starts out with 10 minutes of new music. Then it sort of fades in to the first half of the 1976 Philharmonic concert, except with numerous year 2000 melodic additions and meddlings (tangentization). In short, none of the music is untouched. Also, the disc has mastering flaws, which results in a *ch* *ch* sound that repeats throughout the whole 35+ minute disc (why does TDI feel the need to waste our time with discs less than 60 minutes?). Basically, if you want the original concert, undoctored, there are concert tapes around. If you want Edgar's interpretation (mostly done with new paint), grab Soundmill Navigator. This follows in the same vein as Sohoman, as you mentioned. -Morgan ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com From: Armin Theissen Date: Thu Apr 13, 2000 1:29 pm Subject: Re: What's everyone been listening to? well, it changes a lot, but this is sort of a constant subset of what's in my CD player.

Yesterday the coolest thing happened...I was in Vegas for the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) tradeshow which is one of the largest non-consumer oriented tradeshows in the world. Here, they have showcases for all manner of things associated with broadcast radio, television, studio production, etc. It is really a cool show if you are a techie like me. Anyway, I just left a very high level meeting with a lot of tension across the table and was kinda in a daze and thought I would shoot over to the Tascam booth to check out what's new with some of their DAT gear. So I am strolling along and I am talking to my wife on the cell phone, not really paying attention and I bump right into this guy...I look him staright in the eye and say 'Chris??' 'Christoph??' and realizing it is him I hang up on my wife! So he looks at me and says 'I know you?' and I say 'no, no...I know you though, from your wonderful music!' My heart is pounding and my head is spinning as I am trying to think of what to say. So he asked me what I do for a living and I explain to him that I am in the digital satellite TV business so he starts telling about how he just signed up for Direct TV and just loves the quality. I ask him what he is doing at NAB and how it is going and he says that he is working on some multimedia things using High Definition for the video and was just checking things out. He asked me where I was from and I told him Atlanta...we chatted briefly a bit more and he said he had to run and catch a flight back to LA. So I was tempted to ask him for an autograph, but I really didn't want to take away from the moment...I shook his hand and said 'it was a pleasure meeting you' and he turned and drifted away into a crowd of people. After I pulled my head from the rafters, I called my wife back and she said 'YOU HUNG UP ON ME!!!' I said 'I know, I know, but I ran into Chris Franke!' her response was 'Who??' 'Chris Franke...Tangerine Dream!!' 'Who is he? a member or something??' 'Not just a member, but one of THE members!'...her response was 'oh...hmmm' I guess some people just don't get as excited about certain things as I do. So here I am going into another meeting, and I am grinning and still floating and everybody is looking at me. My boss looks at me and says, 'Craig, you look like a cat who just caught a mouse, what's up?' and I replied, 'oh nothing, I just ran into a very old and dear friend and it made my day.'

One more comment...as I am listening, I recall the majesty of 'Black Delilah', MAN! What a killer tune...this is one of those that could go on for hours, but it stops way too short at 5 min.

It too is really great with a nice bass melody. This song reminds me of the '70's when we used to go rafting down the Chattahoochie River on a quiet weekend with a cooler of refreshments and some 'stuff' that had a funny smell when it burned...not a care in the world.

In Defense of Yanni, his earlier works are quite powerful and VERY heavy in Synth with nice driving rythms and even a sequencer or arpeggiator here and there. Listen to 'Strings' from _Optimystique_ and you'll gain a new respect for him!

One more comment...as I am listening, I recall the majesty of 'Black Delilah', MAN! What a killer tune...this is one of those that could go on for hours, but it stops way too short at 5 min. With the exception of KS work with Tiepold, this rates as the best combination of string/electronics that have graced my ears... Okay, another comment. 'Chattahoochie Field Day' is the next track. It too is really great with a nice bass melody. This song reminds me of the '70's when we used to go rafting down the Chattahoochie River on a quiet weekend with a cooler of refreshments and some 'stuff' that had a funny smell when it burned...not a care in the world. Man, I love this CD. Any other Atlanta folks remeber the Chattahoochie Raft race days? Craig From: Gustavo Jobim Date: Thu Apr 13, 2000 6:46 pm Subject: Recommendations wanted about KS Hello dreamers! Maybe I asked this before here, but I'd like to know what to buy first from KS. I heard bits of Moondawn and Dig It. I had the impression that Moondawn is an extremely slow-developing album, and I have cloudy memories of the final part of Floating as an electronic frenzy. I found Dig It a bit weird; but I think I liked it. I'm not sure what I should get from KS for a good start; Mirage? Moondawn? Timewind? Irrlicht? X? Trancefer? It would be great if someone could give me a briefing about KS's best albums, what the music sound like, or direct me to a site where I could find this information, or some place where I could find music excerpts. Anyway,thanks,always Jobim playing Logos part 2 (last 5 minutes) - it's my favourite track in this album, surely. Gustavo F.

I can't say that about TD. With TD it's more often hit or miss. I have to say that I absolutely abhor 'Purple Haze' with passion!

But after all is said and done I still love TD and they're second to none in my book. But what about 'Tango', I haven't heard anything from anybody about Tango? You guys brought up O'Hearn so I had to bring out one my of six CD's that I have of his and I had to put on Sacred Heart [In repeat mode for about six or eight spins].

But with the SN -recording-time passing by I'd have started to think that this 'rhythmical element' kind of gotten out of control during the so called 'improvised 1976 concert performance' .As you said it's not even this very concert that we have here. It's a shame really, that TDI is claiming in the booklet to sell something which is not what we can hear and they even dare to release such a technically poor recording on which we are supposed to listen more to a damaged old tape's sounds than to any concert performance. I will stop here, otherwise I may go to far here in my disappointment. What was on Edgars mind while doing it?

Olle From: Armin Theissen Date: Fri Apr 14, 2000 2:30 pm Subject: KS - what to hear Dear Gustavo, I do not have all albums of KS (not yet), but pretty much. Here is what I think of his albums, in chronological order 1) Irrlicht Like TD, KS went through some experimental phase in the early 70s. KS himself describes Irrlicht as a 'short circuit of an organ' - he opened an organ and started changing connections just to get some funny sounds the organ was not supposed to do in the first place. Along with it an orchestra he got to play something for him (they didn't wanted to be mentioned on the album afterwards). He taped them with one of those cheap mono tape recorders and *had* to modify the sound afterwards.... Anyway: if you like TD's 'pink' years, you may like Irrlicht, though it sounds very different, but it is just as experimental. I, by the way, love it (I know you think I'm weird...) 2) Timewind gently floating, nice, good for meditation. Cool sequencer, but not of the throbbing TD Rubycon kind. Very gentle. 3) Moondawn first track similar to Timewind, but bass sequence and more 'rocking'. second track starts very meditating, but turns into a rock tune with drums. 4) Body Love Vol II (don't have Vol I) 'Nowhere Now Here' is a damn cool long piece with great sequencer build up and nice Mini Moog solos. Can make any TD 70s track look small. Lots of mellotron, too (the standard TD/KS 70s choir sound - awesome). And 'Stardancer' is one of THE 70s synth tunes. 5) Mirage You get lost in it. Very nice and gentle, but also powerful. Great bass. Its subtitled 'an electronic winter landscape' and should be enjoyed with maximum concentration 6) X Has it all from rocking tunes (great sequences and Harald Grosskopf on drums as on Moondawn - this guy is great!) to spooky silent stuff, and of course the absolute KS Classic 'Ludwig II von Bayern' which is a MUST HAVE 7) Dune first track: Metallic synth plus Cello, the ultimate sountrack to a dune movie yet to be made. I mean: think of that combination! There have been live performances with KS on one side of the stage with his massive analoge equipment - he'd sit in a lotos position on the floor (on a white furry carpet, actually) surrounded by countless keyboards and his big PPG modular, and on the other side of the stage - nothing but Wolfgang Tiepold on a chair with his cello. The music is wonderfully mysterious, and majestic too. second track: Arthur brown singing - its a bit like 30min long poetry reading to an almost non-changing sequence. But its nice to get lost in it. Dune and X are my KS faves. 8) Live not very good sound quality, but a good summary of KS mid and late 70s. Get the new 2CD with the complete track 'Sense' (again includes H.Grosskopf on drums) - one of the absolute best pieces of electronic music from the Berlin school. Can seriously compete with TD's Rubycon/Ricochet/Encore or whatever. Also Arthur brown singing on the 4th track (of 4). It may not be really nice, but its cool enough and - no tangentizing!!! 9) Dig It This is quite a particular album. Call it 'groovy'. A both simple and tricky drum groove in 'Death of an Analogue' and vocoder voices. 'Weird Caravan' has a fantastic drum and bass loop, borrowed from 'Ideal', a german pop band popular at that time (and produced by KS). Nothing cheesy here, a not only soundwise but also rhythmically very clever album. At that time I found KS way better than TD. 10) Transfer quite spacy, but it looses itself. 11) Audentity it is here where KS runs out of ideas a bit, I think. I've seen him live two times during that period which was much better. He rocks and gets wild on two Mini Moogs like others do with an electric guitar, but unfortunately it doesn't show that intensively on the albums, except on... 12) Dciekuje Poland ...which is live. btw: I shot some pics on one of above mentioned gigs: go to http://star.arm.ac.uk/~ath/ks/ks.html 13) InterFace similar to Dig It. But much louder and wilder 14) Dreams as the title says: Dreamy, run out of ideas 15) Miditerranean Pads, Beyond Recall, EnTrance I'm inclinded to say the same for these as for Dreams 16) Royal Concert Hall Vol I / Vol II / The Dome Event These three are very similar and to be regarded as a trilogy anyway - they are mostly live (means: a studio track added on each, no tangentizing or something like that). Schulze plays a lot with funny samples. Musicwise it is very similar to his previous work but the sound is completely different. I enjoy these a lot. May turn your living room into a cathedral. 17) Are You Sequenced 2 CDs of basically the same, trance like fiddling. Not the kind of minimalism as with Philip Glass, but still enjoyable. A friend of mine from Canada who likes Kraftwerk and the UK Drum'n'Bass scene liked this a lot! 18) Doesborg Online I find this one quite poor, especially the singing. Merely a paraphrase of some standards 'opera riff', if there is an expression like this, but not really inventive. I won't go into commenting the Silver (10CD) or Jubliee (25CD) edition. Too much. and finally to comment this: >Greetings! > > When you hear one KS cd you have basically heard them all! > >Rick This is completely rubbish. Whoever writes this shows his lack of empathy for music. Sorry, don't want to start a flame war, but this statement up there is so blatantly wrong.

After Donna, Michael, Cher and Irene Cara, It's Obvious Which Diva Giorgio Moroder Should Work With Next Before Madonna and William Orbit, there were Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder. Not only did the godfather of disco and electropop help elevate Summer to diva status with '70s hits such as 'I Feel Love' and 'Love to Love You Baby,' but he also pioneered synthesizer-based music itself, going on to produce for '80s film soundtracks some of the greatest synth hits of all time, including Flashdance's 'What a Feeling,' Cat People's 'Putting Out Fire' and Top Gun's 'Take My Breath Away.' Moroder also composed scores for Scarface, American Gigolo and Midnight Express, which earned him an Oscar. Two decades later, Moroder can be found living in Los Angeles with his wife and 10 year old son and back in the studio--with a legion of today's hottest mixmasters in tow, including Danny Tenaglia, Paul Oakenfold and Todd Terry. Why so much talent under one soundproofed roof? A project titled DJ Empire Presents a Tribute to Giorgio Moroder (Logic Records). Because the album is one of those rare tribute projects in which the honoree actually takes part, expect remixes and remakes of gems such as 'From Here To Eternity' and 'The Neverending Story' as well as new tracks such as the Gloria Gaynor-fronted 'Last Night' when it hits stores in April. A reworked version of 'The Chase,' from Midnight Express, is already firing up dance floors on several continents. -- Lawrence Ferber (Interviewer): Tell us about the new project, Giorgio. Giorgio Moroder: BMG has 70 or 80 remixes already. Is this good timing for a tribute? GM: Absolutely. The old analog synthesizer sounds I used more than 20 years ago are showing up in so many songs now, especially in Europe. As are you. What have you been up to in the '90s? GM: I lost a lot of time working on a musical movie with Michael Jackson. We started on the songs, and then that scandal with the kid happened, and suddenly the film industry was not interested in Michael doing a movie and spending 50, 60, 70 million dollars. The first time I ever heard 'Love to Love You Baby' was in a German gay porn movie. GM: It wasn't authorized! [Laughs.] I nearly sued a company that used three or four songs of mine in a porno--without asking permission, of course--but they cut them out. What was it like working with Donna Summer? GM: She's such an incredible singer: Two or three takes and the song was done--no doing eight takes and then picking the best line here, the best line there. We stopped working together after she left Casablanca [Records], but we did one song about four years ago, 'Carry On,' which won the best dance song Grammy last year. I see her whenever she comes to L.A. What other divas have you worked with? GM: I worked on the Metropolis soundtrack with Pat Benatar. And I did half of Janet Jackson's first album. She was a baby, probably 14 or 15. To be honest, I was too busy to give her the attention she needed. Control came out two or three years later, and I noticed an incredible improvement in the quality of her voice. Which divas would you like to work with now? GM: There aren't too many disco divas left. I worked with all three: Cher, Donna and Gloria Gaynor. Cher! GM: Cher was great. I remember being warned that if she says she'll be at the studio at 12, she may show up at six. I showed up at 12 anyway, thinking I'd have to wait, but she was punctual. I said, 'Wow, Cher, this is incredible, I was told you're always late.' And she said, 'It's only the first time on a project I'm punctual.' What the hell happened to Irene Cara? GM: I did 'What A Feeling' and an album with her, but then she sued the record company, and that took her off the market for a few years. I was asked to have Irene record a song for this tribute. We might do it. Any other projects? GM: We may do three or four songs for a project for the Vatican. And I'm doing a song for the Pope's birthday TV special--a number with children and famous singer I can't mention yet. So you make music people can pray or screw to. GM: Oh, this has nothing to do with religion. It's pop. They're not songs to be performed in church. It's a commercial venture. Would you work with the Pope if he wanted to become a dance diva? GM: [Laughs.] He's 80! I don't think he's going to dance, and a disco diva has to dance. I think he's happy if he can walk. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your bargains at AndysGarage.com! http://click.egroups.com/1/2579/7/_/477082/_/955652417/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Steven Feldman Date: Fri Apr 14, 2000 2:40 pm Subject: Moroder Interview from 1978 (Tangerine Dream content!)

The cover of New Musical Express, December 9th 1978, the UK journal in which this interview originally appeared. The caption says 'Der Munich Mensch Machine -- the record this man is mixing will probably outsell the Bee Gees'. 'Look, I tell you something very important. Too many of these writers in the music papers, they are misunderstanding everything. The disco sound, you must see, is not art or anything so serious. Disco is music for dancing, and I know that the people will always want to dance. Also, disco is becoming more and still more popular over the last year. The big American record companies are giving much money to it. This is very good. This makes me very happy, especially when I know that disco is soon to be the soul and R&B sound of today. 'And these ideas the writers are having about us using machines and becoming like machines -- they must be making a joke. I know for sure that we are and maybe, as I think you say in English, we are having the last, longest laugh.' Seasonally set and matched in brown woollens and tweeds, Giorgio Moroder grins like a Halloween mask, folds hands across chest and self into high-backed wicker chair, then tilts head, trim moustache and shoulders askance, as if to better observe the effect of his words. In fact, Moroder seems as much bemused as amused. As well he might. The producer of Donna Summer, Roberta Kelly, The Munich Machine and, most recently, Sparks, Moroder has unwittingly - or so it seems -- precipitated a veritable flash-flood of madcap-modernisms and pseudo- sociological static. Impossibly grandiose and improbably specious claims have been made on his behalf. He has, we're told, almost single-handedly dehumanised disco, formulated a sono-track for much more than just another auto- style age even introduced an entirely novel 'post-Euro-industrial' sensibility into modern dancing methods. Moroder is, the radical chic surfers of the disco wave inform us, as crucial to the developing of the new 'disko' aesthetic as are, say, Kraftwerk, Bowie, Eno, Amanda Lear, The Baader Meinhof and Devo. Remember 'I Feel Love' and recall Ms Summer's vocal sex-flexing and Moroder's accompanying electronic pulsebeat-heat. The song was, of course, suggesting that modern sex was machine sex, wasn't it? Well, no. At least, not as far as Moroder is aware. In retrospect, he finds the song 'sexy and funny at the same time', and is justifiably proud of it. He describes it as being intentionally 'futuristic', but nothing more. And as for the Made In Germany By Germans strait-suit that has been repeatedly pressed onto Moroder's output. It doesn't fit: Moroder is Italian. [. . .] As for 'I Feel Love', its genesis was similarly accidental. Donna Summer's 'I Remember Yesterday' was intended as a collage of various musical stages and styles. Inveterate and by now incisive copyists, Moroder and Bellotte had successfully subsumed '30s Dixieland, Phil Spector, early Tamla Motown, Philadelphia, proto-disco and now-disco into the set, whereupon Moroder postulated a next-disco sound. 'I had already had experience with the original Moog synthesisers, so I contacted this guy who owned one of the large early models. It was all quite natural and normal for me. I simply instructed him about what programmings I needed. I didn't even think to notice that for the large audience this was perhaps a very new sound. We did the whole thing in a day.' Moroder goes on to divulge that he recorded an all-electronic album of his own some years ago, working on the project for several months before failing to find an outlet for it. In this connection, I inquire of him his opinion of Kraftwerk whom some assert have been a de facto influence on Moroder's electronic work -- whereas the reverse is probably more the mark, since Kraftwerk's first direct-disco release, 'The Man Machine', postdates Moroder's own electronic-disco 'From Here To Eternity' by nearly a year. Although the horizons here are hazed. Kraftwerk certainly required something of an extra edge to compound the disco-cult success of 'Showroom Dummies' -- a success which, incidentally, seems to have caught them unawares -- and they may well have found what they needed in Moroder's methods. 'The Man Machine' may carry the emphatic 'Produced In West Germany' rider but the album was actually mixed by, among others, Leonard Jackson, the latter on loan from ex-Motown writer and producer Norman Whitfield's Whitfield Records. Whatever, Kraftwerk's 'Spacelab' (from 'The Man Machine') runs Moroder's sound so close a second it's hard to resist implying plagiarism on the part of the Dusseldorf Dynamen. But does any of this matter? Yes, merely because Kraftwerk have contentiously obfuscated their work with notions of 'artistic', 'political', 'historical' and 'sociological' intent and intrigue -- and they have been rapturously repaid by writers who really should know better by now for doing so. By comparison, Moroder's declared first base -- making pure electronic pop -- seems also charmingly, defensively banal. And yet not only has it had a far greater impact (Kraftwerk's lack of major chart success since 'Autobahn' has been signal), but it has also been haplessly absorbed into the critical caucus of 'New Europeanism'. All of which begs questions. Are we really the robo-men-machines of Kraftwerk's 'The Robots' (and, if so, then why aren't we purchasing their product?) or do we just want to dance? 'Kraftwerk', Moroder muses, 'I like their sounds very much because they are very clean, but I don't particularly like the songs. They are sometimes a little too easy in their music...' Easy as in facile? 'Maybe. Honestly, I prefer Tangerine Dream, that kind of thing. I used to know these guys very well, and loved their 'Phaedra' album very much. There were some similar groups in Munich -- Popul Vuh, for example -- some years ago. 'Personally I feel that Tangerine Dream became a little boring. You can only do so much and no more with all these sequencers. But Kraftwerk? Well, I think they thought that they must start selling more. I guess they are making a simple mistake. They still reckon that with an easy melody and a synthesiser they can have a hit. [See? See? A Tangerine Dream reference! Wowee!] 'Whilst in fact the audience is becoming more and more sophisticated. We ourselves started with simple songs, but something like 'MacArthur Park' is different, very complicated to make. We are always trying very hard to improve the overall quality of our work, while Kraftwerk are still holding on to the older ways of recording. If I were to record another synthesiser album right now, I wouldn't do it at all like 'I Feel Love'. That sound is out of date and use.' But, there is a marked similarity between the disco-dub effects Moroder employed on his mostly instrumental soundtrack for Alan Parker's 'Midnight Express' and those Kraftwerk deployed on the 'Metal On Metal' segment of the title track of their own 'Trans-Europe Express'? 'I really don't know about that. I am not too familiar with this record of theirs, only really with 'The Man Machine'. I cannot say. I just met one of the guys from Kraftwerk in New York once, but it is very difficult to talk with them. They obviously speak German and I speak German, but they have very definite ideas...' And what of Kraftwerk's implied conceptualisations (the Constructivist cover artwork to 'The Man Machine', etc)? 'This again is not something I can enjoy that much. I am not so complicated or intelligent a composer, nor am I very interested in becoming so. I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.' So you're not greatly taken with Kraftwerk's European emphasis? 'No, I must admit not. This matter of a European feeling is really quite complicated. I know that Pete and myself have combined a certain European feeling with Donna's more American experience, but this is only from Europe in the sense that we are both Continental-style writers, well trained in Continental pop music. 'To me, the only European leaning of the disco sound is that so much of the music is actually created here. There were, of course, discotheques in the States before they were here, but we have somehow taken a lead in making the music. Perhaps we just had the correct professional attitudes. 'Many producers began to make disco records after our success and that of Michael Kunze (Silver Convention). This is a great thing for the industry in Europe, for us to be able to make a way for others, but it could really be anywhere, you know, I don't think there are any special methods we have here that others could not have if they wanted. And this more artistic aspect, I have no involvement with it. [Silver Convention! A Sylvester Levay reference! We're burnin', now!] 'Our studios here at Musicland are just typical. Nearly all the equipment there is standard, English or American. It isn't even a particularly sophisticated studio. 'And this thing', Moroder thumps his desk to his theme, 'some writers have about German producers and players. As I have said, I am not German, Pete is not German. Boney M themselves are not German, although I accept that their producer Frank Farian is so. 'Donna is American, so is Roberta Kelly, so are Silver Convention. In actuality, if we had been based elsewhere other than Munich, we might have achieved our success even earlier -- because there in London, for example, you have more facilities and are nearer the pulse of the industry.' [. . .] All of which I put to Moroder, asking more specifically about the relevance of the credit listing on the 'Whiter Shade Of Pale' Munich Machine release (cf. 'shop floor, electronics foreman, mechanics foreman, shop steward, apprentice, time and motion study'). 'This, you know, this is just another joke. We know people think this about what we do, so we play up to them. It is the same with the dancing robots on the covers of both Munich Machine records. 'All this talk of machines and industry makes me laugh. Even if you use synthesisers and sequencers and drum machines, you have to set them up, to choose exactly what you are going to make them do. It is nonsense to say that we make all our music automatically. 'I know for myself how difficult or how easy it was to get a certain sound. Sometimes it's easy, sure, but as often as not it is at least ten times more difficult to get a good synthesiser sound than on an acoustic instrument. And of course we organise things -- who does not? We have to be professional about this. There is nothing wrong with this, surely?' [Okay, we're done.

This is due to varying voltages from drained batteries, failing DC control motors (which controll the speed of a tape player/recorder) and other electrical and mechanical variations in the players. Specific example: If a concert taper's batteries are running low, the tape will be moving slower as it records. When played back at normal the speed, the music will be faster than what was played. Alternately if the control motor is failing, the tape might move faster during recording, so it would sound slow when played back. I used to have an old double cassette deck that would mix line-input with what was playing on the playback side during dubbing. You could use it to voice-over instrumental tracks and so forth. However, the manufacturer forgot to make this feature unavailable during high-speed dubbing, so you could play a CD or another tape player into the 'line-in' while the record deck was recording at high speed. The result at playback was a 50% slower copy of the source. I made a halloween 'mood music' tape by recording excerpts from 'Heaven and Hell' by Vangelis, some stuff from 'Doctor Who: the Music', 'Tears in a Prophet's Dream' by Celtic Frost (never heard any of their vocal tracks; I've been told that it's pretty much demon worship lyrics. Anyway you can imagine how eerie that track was.) Overall it made for a great effect. The 'castanets' sounded more like chains rattling!

Could we discuss more sensible things, please? Such as TD gigs, or other TD experiences? Or someone who appreciates the MUSIC on SN may give us his/her feelings and impressions (and I don't mean what equipment, synths are used...) Pal. >>>>>>>> .I've got Soundmill Navigator today and I don't know, if I ever can put up with this bloody ssssssssfffft,sssssssffft-sound.Without reading your comments about it, I'd have thought this sound is just a synth-generated rhythmical element as often used in the studio by Klaus Schulze. But with the SN -recording-time passing by I'd have started to think that this 'rhythmical element' kind of gotten out of control during the so called 'improvised 1976 concert performance' .As you said it's not even this very concert that we have here. It's a shame really, that TDI is claiming in the booklet to sell something which is not what we can hear and they even dare to release such a technically poor recording on which we are supposed to listen more to a damaged old tape's sounds than to any concert performance. I will stop here, otherwise I may go to far here in my disappointment. What was on Edgars mind while doing it? I still can't believe that the dudes on 'electronic music' could be particularly right with what they saying!

Greetings all- Gee, I have a lot of catching up to do, since I've been away from the list since my last post. I'll just start here and work my way back...:) Sure, the fantapes from the FM broadcast don't have the noise. That doesn't mean that the master tape was perfect after being stored for *24 years*! The noise starts after the swelling into the 'new theme' of the disc (around the 3 min. mark) and runs through to the end. Maybe this is too obvious: The flaw was sampled and used as a sound element since it couldn't be removed. This would explain why it is present for the 3 mins. before the vintage material starts and why it would be carried through to the end. Yeah, it's annoying as all get out, but consider the alternative: a noise that starts out of nowhere and ends abruptly before the new end of the CD. Or perhaps he should've chucked the whole project into the bin (I wonder what some of you would say if *that* had been posted on the TDI site!) Although I'm sure some of you wish that to be the case now! And now, for the 'But...' I just read the explanation from TDI regarding the noise. It seems that I guessed correctly. Having said that, however, I checked the excerpts on the TDI site...and the noise isn't on them. So perhaps the flaw was not present during the sections sampled (at roughly 26 min. and 35 min. respectively) but was present on a good chunk of the rest of the tape, so the correction was still needed. And with some of the reviews I've seen some people seemingly *didn't* notice the noise and apparantly assumed it was simply another rhythm sound. I'll make the assumption here that they aren't in possesion of a tape of the original broadcast (especially since some of them also seem to think that the overdubs are vintage as well! ;)) Which would tend to support the above reasoning for its inclusion, it seems. But, it doesn't explain why the noise carries through to the *applause*. If it were indeed an added element to mask a flaw, why then have it on top of the last 4 mins., which are new, and furthermore on top of the crowd? Perhaps the flaw then was at the very end, after the 2nd excerpt posted on the TDI site, which is about 2 mins. before the end of the actual concert material? Which is more likely, as the beginnings and endings of tapes are the most easily damaged. I think a more definitive comment from TDI (or Edgar) would be in order...but with the invective hurled his way lately I doubt that we'll get it. I'll ask anyway...;) goozer Replies Name/Email Yahoo!

Not exactly. For example the 1973 vinyl album 'Tubular Bells' by Mike Oldfield is 48:50 long with a 25 minutes track on side A, so you could put at least 50 minutes of music on a vinyl album. >> Actually, you can have a full hour of music on a single LP. There are lots of examples of this, including Black Sabbath's Live At Last, Deep Purple's In Concert, UFO's Flying, and the Anderson Bruford Wakeman And Howe album, each of which clocks in at nearly an hour. One of the sides of Brian Eno's Discreet Music album clocked in at just over a half hour, and it was also extremely common for classical labels to push the envelope in terms of squeezing material onto vinyl (many of the classic Stockhausen albums on Deutsche Gramophone, for instance, were about 30 minutes a side). Quite a few of the older Genesis albums were over 50 minutes in length, as well. But there's just one catch: once you start to move past aprox. 20 minutes a side, the grooves have to be cut shallower, meaning that you lose fidelity. I think it's mostly bottom end that you start losing. This is why a lot of heavy metal and hard rock albums were under 40 minutes in the old days. I remember reading an article about Steve Vai, when he was playing with David Lee Roth, and he was asked about why Eat Em Smile (the first Roth solo album) was only 32 minutes long. His explanation was that they 'wanted to make the loudest album ever made', and in order to do that, the grooves had to be cut deeper (or wider, maybe) to avoid losing bass. So, the trade off was that the album had to be shorter. So, you CAN have a longer album on vinyl, but there's going to be a trade off in terms of quality. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the tighter packed grooves are also prone to being scratched easier, or at least less stable than on shorter albums. I remember watching the Jay Leno show once, I forget who he was interviewing, but they were talking about an EP that either Elvis or The Beatles put out, that was a 7' record (like a regular 45 rpm), but they put two songs on each side, making each side something like 6 minutes long. Jay made some comment to the effect that all you had to do was cough at the turntable, and it caused the needle to fly across the vinyl. Yeah, he was exxagerating, but there may have been some truth to what he was talking about.

I never thought I would see someone being made fun of for having proper English until I came to this list. It's one thing to be understood on a chat room or website, but liner notes. I mean, a CD is like a baby. You want it to be as good as possible. I mean, how often are bad CDs referred to as stillborn by reviewers anyway? Mistakes on liner notes could be a bigger deal to me because, believe it or not, I work with translated Japanese user manuals. Even though it's provided in 'English', it takes hours to figure out what they mean and figure out what we would say natively in English. I'm sure there are thousands of people on the planet who are fluent in German and English who would gladly donate their time to do the translation work for Edgar. >Anyway, I agree with you partly but on the other >hand English as language will become a lot more simple as it is. >Why ?

The 'Tangentization' here adds melody where there was none before, so I don't feel like the rule of 'less is more' is being violated here as it typically was on Tangents. More like 'we're going from zero melody to some melody'. So I appreciate the additions and if anything, it grounds the surreal with some centerline and, to be honest (I'm not as hardcore a space music fan as others may be), makes this material listenable. * I only bought the 1992 Relativity version of Tyger with the lesser (my opinion) London and Tyger versions, so I was glad to hear the original 1987 versions on Dream Roots of these two tracks. Believe it or not, Dream Roots was also my first exposure to the LeParc material. Central Park is just grand. * The bonus disc on Dream Roots is definately more interesting than the one on Tangents (excluding the edited Silver Scale on T.). While I prefer Tangerine Dream as a trio, Edgar and Chris did some interesting stuff here. It's missing Johannes' gritty edge, but overall worth a spin. -Morgan ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com From: Vic Rek Date: Sun Apr 16, 2000 1:12 am Subject: Finally back - online - DEMO Okefenooke Complete I have been in a dream for the last week - is onelist now 'egroups'?

The only time I ever saw the remasters of the first five Hawkwind albums onsale was at a Hawkwind show in 97, right after they came out. At the time, I only had enough to get a few of the items this gentlemen was selling, so I opted for the albums I didn't have on CD already: Mountain Grill, Space Ritual, Choose Your Masques and Sonic Attack (I know those latter two weren't part of the same reissue series, but they had also just come out, and this guy was selling them, so I decided to add them to the collection). Finally, last year, I just happened to do a search for Hawkwind on Ebay one day, and found someone who was selling all five of those remasters. So, I entered in bids for the first album, In Search Of Space and Doremi Fasol Latido. I've forgotten what I paid for each of them, but I think it was substantially less than $27 that I paid for Mountain Grill (Space Ritual was more $37, being a double CD).

The same sounds, chords, melodies etc. Still, as I'm a big Floyd fan.. no problem for me there! :-) When the lyrics start, it reminds me some of Le Parc Jacquie Virgil it seems does her best Tina Turner impression on Shy People, and despite this is more a pop song than EM, I do actually quite like it. The singing on Harbour I could do without. The music here reminds me of the Airwolf theme (interesting considering that TD were asked to produce music for this show - and the fact that they were associated with Sylvester Levay on 3 O'clock High). The lyrics are poor lyrics, poorly sung. Nightfall is a slow moody piece of the sort that I can't review without listening to about 10 times, as each time I try my mind drifts off onto some other train of thought. I tried listening to it 3 times now, there's no way I'm going to try another 7, so I've got nothing to say about it! What can I say about Dancing On A White Moon? Another electro-pop tune. I actually love parts of the music, especially the little melodious theme that pops up here and there. It's just so cheesy though! The lyrics are very hard to understand, and although no doubt essential for the films soundtrack, are just a distraction. Civilized Illusions is one of the better pieces on the album. No bloody lyrics over the top for a start. High tempo, plenty of layers, a couple of subtle sequences under the surface. No masterpiece by any shot of the imagination, but not bad. Swamp Voices pretty much evokes the feel and sound of a swamp as created on every movie that has ever been about a swamp. I have no interests in swamps thank you very much. Transparent Days is just a slow choral piece, but nice enough as background music... Then we're treated to a Shy People reprise, this time without the Pink Floyd section at the start. Also without the Tina Turner impression... Overall, not a bad soundtrack album considering some of the crap ones that are around. Nowhere near 'Near Dark', but a long way away from '3 O'clock High'. 2AS Lawry Simm NEW email address - lawry.simm@f...

But 'enervate' is more usually used to mean to weaken, to deprive of strength. And 'unnerving' is comonly used to mean scary, frightening, i.e. to unnerve is to deprive of courage. So, whilst it is technically correct to treat the two words as having the same meaning, to a native speaker they are actually quite distinct. On the other hand, I can see nothing at all wrong with 'pouring with sweat'. LnH Marion Replies Name/Email Yahoo!

A friend and I were punctual at the club called STIX and it was standard dancing venue. Well first off there was no video shown at the concert, but live broadcast of an English soccer match...which was more for a pub in my opinion. There were 4 DJs playing in total - first Chinese, second also Chinese, and then presumably the Orb themselves - though I could not identify who was who and there was only one DJ/performer at one time. The first Chinese DJ started playing music at about 10:10pm. The music was heavy, free techno dance music with at times weird sound effects. It was indeed nice, free form dance music, so I was quite pleasantly surprised by this first performer. The second player took over after about one and a half hour. He played on some pretty shit samples and the music was like patches of mud. I spent the time more on talking with my friend. It was certainly after midnight (probably at 1:30 am or so) that the Orb finally took over. The Orb were 2 guys: one thin, and one more fatty, and the fatty guy played first. He did play some nice dance music in sort of 70s-ish style, while later the thin guy (with spectacles) played some instrumental music and some 'soul' songs. My friend and I did not like those songs at all. Before the concert came to an end by 4am, the fatty guy took over again and we, feeling exhausted, left the venue at 3:45am. By and large, the concert was a mix of listenable & danceable EM (better than some recent TD dance music, got to admit) and some crappy music and songs. To some who may feel interested - the Orb concert is recommendable but I certainly won't rank it as top EM.

Does anyone here honestly think that any self-respecting record label with even a smidgeon of objectivity would have allowed a recording like SOUNDMILL NAVIGATOR to be released with such deafeningly obvious mastering errors?

Both these clowns seem to be in awe of themselves to the point of indulging any old badly-hatched idea that wafts through their somewhat addled noggins. Witness bad sound on SOUNDMILL NAVIGATOR and the film called EPISODE ONE: THE PHANTOM MENACE. Think of the titling of SOUNDMILL NAVIGATOR as a Freudian Slip of sorts: the listener must navigate through the recording to try to avoid the careening speaker-to-speaker glitches, an experience which will no doubt put them through the mill as they try to avoid the bad sounds. As for THE PHANTOM MENACE (aka Jar Jar Binks), Lucas, introspective genius that he is (ha!) has denied any and all knowledge of the presence of racially stereotyped characters in his film, and what's more, has not recanted for the existence of the single most odious character in film history -- instead, writing him into EPISODE TWO. Either Lucas really is hot for toy tie-ins and Happy Meal-type cross-marketing, or he is an arrogant, myopic shithead who cares more about his ego than about destroying the memories, hopes and dreams of any and all Star Wars fans above the age of 12 (I, however, have never been much of a fan of the STAR WARS stuff, having been brought up on THE OUTER LIMITS, Kirby's NEW GODS comics, and other superior stuff). But I'm ranting. What is my point? Folks like Edgar Froese and George Lucas, who own their own companies and have complete control on a par with Hitler in World War II (oh no, not *that* analogy again!) should hire someone to tell them when they're being morons so that they don't foist another abomination on the paying public -- someone that they can't just fire at the drop of a hat. That's what these clowns need. Hell, that's what the world at large needs. There used to be a time when I bought each and every album that Tangerine Dream and/or Edgar Froese put out, but now, what with all the poor judgement calls on the part of TDI (aka Edgar), that era (or should I say 'error'?) has ended. -- Steven Feldman -- unhumble webmaster for the Unofficial Karen Sheperd website; see http://members.spree.com/molasar/hongkong/shepfilm.html Replies Name/Email Yahoo!

Anyone mind too terribly if I distance myself from Steven Feldmans last commentary? I can vouch for the lousy sound production quality on Star Wars 1 Phantom Menace. Especially the pod racer scene, where there is very little ambient noise except the thum-thum-thum (sounds like it was adapted from a recording of a police officer banging on your door) of the cheesy-sounding pod racers themselves. If we're traveling in excess of 100 miles an hour, where are the wind noises? As for the characters, etc. of Star Wars Phantom Menace, I, too, was horrified to hear what can only be described as a stereotypical impression of a Civil War era black man of over 140 years ago. If anything, Jar Jar is very formulaic. I am seeing more and more movies with a single annoying character thrown in as a stock piece of comic relief. The village idiot, if you will. George, this isn't required to make a good movie! The least wise of the characters from the middle trilogy was C3PO (the walking talking robot) but he didn't make me want to get up and walk out of the theater. I think I'm straying away from TD here. I haven't heard Soundmill Navigator yet so I'm reserving judgement, but in the past week I've picked up a couple of 1974-1977 concerts and I am afraid to ask what Edgar will do to these if he puts them on his 'To Do' list. -Morgan ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com From: 'joe shoults' Date: Mon Apr 17, 2000 12:28 am Subject: Re: [tadream] How did I get on this list? Hello Stephan- hmm. that is strange. I haven't sent any invitation mail to the old list membership addresses. Two major mailing list services, onelist.com and egroups.com, merged recently. We had 'tadream' lists on both, with the egroups list set up only as a uwp mirror. I have been trying to get the lists merged instead of onelist just dumping the egroups list info (archives and addresses). The only thing I can think of is that maybe egroups/onelist, the service through which we currently run the mailing list, was able to merge the old tadream@e... addresses with the onelist list, which has effectively been the successor to the uwp list. There was not much of an overlap in addresses, but maybe you are one of those. However, if this is the case it is more curious because onelist frowns upon unsolicited subscriptions, which would apparently be what they did to you.

But its nice to get lost in it. (..And Craig Chambers added): It is okay...but not 'starter' material. Brown's vocals can become tiresome at times and interfer with the music, IMO. --- A very nice way of putting it, Craig. I am meaner and would say that Arthur Brown is as close to catastrophe as one can ever come in music. Schulze must have a weak spot for the guy as he has used him more than once. Apart from that a nice list, Armin, even if I agree with Craig in that Irrlicht is better to save for later. I also like Dreams a lot more than Royal Festival Hall: Dreams is dreamy and Royal Festival Hall is noisy (but Pedalling away is more than ok). Gustavo: A lot of things can be said about Schulze's music. In short I always found him second to Tangerine Dream. On the other hand his output is not at all as varied. This means he never reaches the highs of a TD in good form but on the other hand doesn't surprise you too negatively either. Just stay away from 'Schulze Goes Classic' and you will be all right.

Track 10 US. Open, Never sure if I like the 'trumpet sound' some days I do, some I do not. There is also a contsant 'theme' that visits through the music, excitement, then calmness, usually a fast song, then a slow. Mind you, it is a 'small clips' Cd such as 3 O'Clock High (I liked the movie when I saw it years ago, but do not own the CD, So cannot compare). It actually sounds like a soundtrack sometimes as well, as some of the songs are very similar in structure (& for those out there who will comment, I realize that alot of the songs are just played again at a differrent speed or with some more music added to it!) :p I also like the last Track Kenny's Winning Shot, I feel the triumph!

I agree with Siberkat about the triumphant feel to 'Kenny's Winning Shot'. Also, there's one track which is a rip from the first part of 'Alchemy of the Heart' from _Tyger_. The synth-harpsichord part was sped up and changed to a major key for the soundtrack version. It's played probably 40-50% faster, but it's definitely recognizable, especially to someone who's listened to Tyger as much as I. Again, some good stuff here.

Jan From: Gustavo Jobim Date: Wed Apr 19, 2000 6:18 pm Subject: D:Live [Encore] Yes, I'm a bit late. I bought the Definitive[SBM] Encore today, and I'm playing it for the first time right now. Cherokee Lane doesn't bring anything new; just the classic TD sequencing with the Mellotronic atmosphere of the albums of that period. Monolight - that tune after the piano intro is one of THE TD themes of all time, along with the Phaedra tune, the Atem intro tune, the Stratosfear tune, Force Majeure, Tangram, Thru Metamorphic Rocks, etc. The following part is also very good. Later, Stratosfear is played. Fantastic. And the piano comes back, but hey, it's Invisible Limits! Incredible. Coldwater Canyon - the beginning is similar to Indian Summer. Froese-guitar, Froese-guitar. Chris' eagle, more guitar. A tune that reminds me of Phaedra. Not bad. Desert Dream - A totally pink years track, which ends with a 1-minute sequence. This album, as someone said during the Encore discussion week, should've ended with Monolight. The last two tracks doesn't add anything to the album. Monolight: the best track, and one of the best TD tracks from the 70s. Cherokee Lane: nice sequencer track. Coldwater Canyon: nothing to add to the album. Desert Dream: pink track. makes you sleepy.

O.K. *I* was the one that TRIED to compile a CD-R set with 'list' musicians on it. I finally gave up on the idea after numerous set-backs. I had wanted to include everyone I could, but I waited for a number of submissions that never arrived. I also waited for people to 're-mix' what they had submitted as they were not happy with it. A few people pulled tracks they submitted and re-submitted other tracks instead. Tracks that were way too long were submitted. People started submitting tracks from artists that were not even on the list. Not to mention the artists that never made the switch from the UW Parkside list to the 'onelist' who wanted to be included too. All along people were complaining it was taking too long. People that said they would help with certain aspects of the release could no longer be found. etc, etc, etc..... I finally had enough and said to myself 'they can all stuff it!' Oh sure there was the odd one that didn't cause me grief, but for the most part it was a headache. I am not a musician so I guess I am not used to dealing with that type, but all I can say is 'never again!' If you want to use me as an excuse for not contributing for the list for a year, fine, do it. Get ticked off, I don't really care. I advise against anyone without a high tolerance for dealing with *artists* to avoid getting involved in a CD-R project. Downloadable mp3 files are the only way to go, you can submit it whenever you want and change it whenever you feel like it. New members can be easily added too. That's about all I have to say on the subject.

I guess it's because that was the current album out when I started listening to TD. I'm one of those strange TD fans that enjoys both the older and newer styles TD. The style phases over the years may be quite different, yes. But each has redeeming qualities to me. I had heard Long Island Sunset on the jazz station before I actually got the album. I already had Optical Race and maybe Underwater Sunlight, and I was still able to recognise LIS as a TD tune, even though I was still new to them. Man, even the Private Music era is starting to feel like a 'classic' period, now that it's ten years gone. :-) Incidentally, those who skipped the Okefenokee trip missed an incredible rendition of '29 Palms' played by Dave Brewer.

If you and Andrew Rozsa don't stop complimenting me so much, I'm liable to get an inflated ego! :-) Seriously tho, 29 Palms is one of my all-time favorite TD tunes.

Since you've already had responses to LotB, I'll take FSoL. The only double CD I'm aware of is Lifeforms - the one with a long haired asian child on the cover, shown among a computer-generated weird landscape and holding an anemone (sp?) type animal in his/her hand. I bought this albuma few years back on the basis of an advert in a music magazine - very unusual for me. It mentioned the strange nature of the music and I was captivated by the images. I wasn't disappointed. It's a curious blend of ambient electronic sounds and dance rhythms, with the occassional chanted vocals. It has a very 'organic' feel to it - many of the effects remind me of animal cries and lapping shores. I love it. I also bought the Lifeforms CD-Single - a forty minute epic which appears to be almost entirely new music. From here I bought ISDN and was severly disappointed, and i heard Dead Cities with equal disappointed. Hope I've got the right album, and that this has whetted your appetite for hearing it. -------------------------------------------------------------- Craig R. J. Cordrey craig.cordrey@g... crjc@t...

The two who comprise Force Majeure are László Kovács and Zsolt Vidovenyecz (I read that they are Hungarians, but the latter's surname has a Polish sound to it), and they are excellent synthesizer players. The music on the album (12 tracks in all) suggests the likes of Vangelis, Pink Floyd and - not surprisingly, considering the name the duo adopted - Tangerine Dream. I certainly enjoy the CD enormously. ---- Original Message ----- From: Larry E Smith To: Sent: Thursday, 20 April 2000 02:14 Subject: [tadream] TD like music- Waveworld/Force Majeur > Has anyone heard Waveworld's 'Species' or Force Majeur's 'Total Solar > Eclipse'?

And this is not a true statement. (For KS, I mean). KS, as well as TD, has very different periods in his discography: Irrlicht and Cyborg could be compared to Electronic Meditation and Zeit (experimentation, pink years...). From Picture Music to 'Live'. these would be the Virgin years period of TD (Picture Music, Blackdance, Timewind -a masterpiece-, Moondawn -another masterpiece-, Mirage - THE masterpiece-, the Body love soundtracks, 'X' - THE OTHER masterpiece- and the double LP 'Live'). Then, we enter a transition period toward the digital sound in the 80's with Dig it, Trancefer. Both are very good, completly different from the previous ones. After, Audentity and 'Djiekurze Poland' are contemporary to TD's Poland. Still very good. From that period also, 'Entrance' should be probably chosen as a first try. Finally, KS has entered the MIDI / Fairlight period from Babel and Miditerranean Pads until now. From that point on, KS and TD become less comparable. TD going towards more melodic and commercial (oops...short tracks) albums and KS, to the contrary, extending the pieces to the limits of the 80 minutes CD space. The music may be qualified as being repetitive, as Rick mentioned, but it is worth trying. If you elect to do so, please go for Beyond Recall: it is magic. it is indeed very difficult to know where to start when artists have such vast discography. I actually have the same problem with Hawkwind. I really can't decide where to start when I am looking into the HMV related section. And I don't want to pick up the wrong one to start with. Could be fatal... In that respect, for a first try at KS, I would suggest to completly avoid Irrlicht, Cyborg and Dune (half of this CD contains horrible singing from Arthur Brown and the other half is a beautiful piece centered around a cello played by Wolfgang Tiepold but which is quite 'modern' in Ligeti or Stockhausen definition of the term) and preferably not to start with Blackdance or Picture Music neither. Actually, go for Timewind, Moodawn, Mirage and X. Then you can decide where you want to take it from there, but at least you will have all the basics. Renaud.

Renaud did a wonderful job of summarizing this discussion...Jobim, if you are still interested in this thread, then Renaud's suggestion of the above 4 is probably the best place to start. Unfortunately, with these you reach the Apex immediately, so everything else is pretty much downhill. But, regardless of where you go from here, you will be rewarded with a music that continues after 30 years to maintain a vision and a progression. The 'cello' disc (49) on the Ultimate Edition is magic!! Wolfgang Tiepold is the magician...Klaus is the godlike being who defines the laws in which the magician can perform his tricks. EM in 2000....still as captivating as when I first heard TD's 'Encore' back in '79. And Klaus carries the largest torch.

They are both Hungarians. I like Solar eclipse. It is their debut album. The title track always gives me goosebumps, since it perfectly conveys what I felt during the eclipse last year. I can compare it to the style of Vangelis and Chris Franke (lots of analogue sequences!) and JMJ.

After a couple of full listenings, I can say that I think it's fantastic! One thing I noticed is that the melodies seem to have been inspired by other TD tracks. I also received Pink Floyd's live Wall set, which is also fabboo, even though they really did some detailed editing on it. (Contact me privately for details if interested) I also received a disc in the mail last week by Danish one-mand-band Rey, which is really good. Very inspired by TD, without sounding derivative.

I possibly missed some posts about the Okefenokee trip while I was still on the trip because I got bounced off the list just before the trip and it took me a few days to get back onto the list. Anyway, here are the trip details (including pre and post trip info), at least from my perspective. I encourage any other attendees to contribute their comments. April 6, 2000 I pick up Marcel Engels in Atlanta coming in from Amsterdam. We drive back from the airport with his gear in the back seat of my open convertible and the top to his rack flies off on the interstate and is run over by a few cars. A guy pulls next to us honking his horn - I hope we didn't damage his paint job, but oh well. Marcel was a great sport about it and said a piece of plywood would fix it for the return trip. April 7, 2000 Marcel and I spend most of the day searching for a 220 volt converter to run his equipment. We drive all over Atlanta sightseeing and searching for a coverter that can handle about 500 watts and also are looking for a keyboard since Marcel left his at home. We got the keyboard at Guitar Center and the coverter at a small electronics shop in a multi-ethnic neighborhood. We come home and hook up the equipment and the first demo sessions begin. April 8, 2000 The pre-Swamp party begins. In the late afternoon and evening we have a few fans arrive for dinner and a fan chat about Tangerine Dream, the trip, and life in general. We have a small TD raffle and everyone walked away with a nice gift. Marcel also picked the winning ticket for the SwampPak 11 raffle - and the winner is Rainer Rutka! We also have a practice/demo session performed by Marcel and Dave. In attendance were: Marcel (The Nederlands), Dave Brewer (Arizona), Jim Moore (Atlanta), Tom George (Tennessee), James Owens Family (Alabama) and my son Patrick and myself. A very nice demo session was played at 1:30 a.m. I'm glad Tom convinced me to stay up and record the session! :-) April 9, 2000 (Day 1) Jan Ksel from Florida joins us and we start a small 3 car convoy to the Okefenokee. We stop for lunch on the way and then for food and supplies at Valdosta, GA. The drive from Valdosta to Okefenookee consisted mainly of forest views (Tom blasts 'Madrigal Meridian' in the car on the final leg into the swamp!). We arrive around 6PM and then Roger Smith (Florida) arrives and joins the group. The final group was only 6 people since James couldn't come down and Jim was unfortunately pulled away by his work schedule in literally the last minute. At the Swamp we occupy cottages #3 & #2 (we all move to cottage #3 the next day). We find out that these cottages are really fully equipped homes with all the amenities, so we figure the Swamp will not be all that rough after all. We explore a bit around the woods and settle in for a BBQ and music. We conduct a swamp music demo session. In bed at 3AM. April 10, 2000 (Day 2) We get up and Roger tells us the there were dear by our window and many raccoons. We hear strange moaning sounds from the swamp behind the cottage... In the morning we tell the facility manager Barabara that we would like to play live music and have a night cruise on the swamp. She said it was fine to play the music but the night cruise would be very difficult to arrange. At 3PM (not 3AM) Marcel and Dave start playing the afternoon set under a shelter during a wonderful sunny day. The music was very nice with many sequences, but unfortunately it was not captured on cassette, but major portions of the show were captured on video! Jan has to depart for home at this point. The remaining group went canoeing in the late afternoon. We saw plenty of alligators sunning themselves and many birds such as herons and ibis. The swamp water was very calm and beautiful. It reflected everything and the color of the water reminded me of strong tea. When we returned from the trip, we had dinner and then prepared for the evening concert. We were granted permission by the park service to take over the visitors information center which consisted of a small wooden stage and a museum depicting life in the Okefenokee. The stage was set at 10PM and the concert was flawless (I got it all on video too). Marcel and Dave played very well together and we captured a wonderful dark EM piece on cassette. This will be the main track of the CD release. At the cottage, we had a raffle of various TD items and EM music. Everyone won something and it was a very fun party. Obviously everyone was having a great time :-)! We got to bed at (you guessed it) 3AM. April 11, 2000 (Day 3) Dave and Tom have to leave us in the morning, so then there were three (Marcel, Roger, Vic). We rented a small boat with a motor and went cuising through the swamp for almost 5 hours. We first boated to Billy's Island. We docked there and took a hike through the pine trees. We saw an old swamp buggy and a cemetery. There were many butterflies too. From the island we started off on some swamp runs. In places the swamp was very narrow and we had to 'push' the boat through the trees. Along the way we saw a deer, many alligators, water turtles and birds (I loved the small yellow Finches). The impressions of the swamp are sometimes just undescribable - you just have to be there. During the entire trip we had clear skies, warm weather and little humidity or bugs. We get home to the cottage and eat vennison for dinner and relax. All of a sudden we get surprised by the park manager. She comes in and asks us if we want to go on a night cruise on the pontoon boat. We leave on the evening cruise (but not at 3AM) and enjoy some very rare sights. With our flashlights pointing towards the shores of the swamp, we can easily identify the alligators by the scary reflection in their eyes - it reminded me of many Jack-O-Lanterns. At times the boat engines were shut off and we could just listen to the wildlife. We mainly heard tree frogs which produced a metallic type clacking sound, which was once in a while inturrupted by a lonely bullfrog croak which at times was so loud that it echoed through the swamp. It almost sounded like a wild pig with a bellowing sound. Marcel and I chuckled every time we heard it - it was just way too cool. After the night trip we relaxed in the cottage - again until 3AM. Roger was describing to us the TD-type jellyfish sting sound :-) Too bad it was not on tape. April 12, 2000 (Day 4) Roger has to leave us at noon, so it was just the two of us. we went for a walk on a couple of park maintained swamp trails. Marcel and I plan to go for lunch to the tiny logging town of Fargo which is 17 miles away, but we have a problem because my car battery was dead - kaput! We get a jumpstart from the ranger and drive to Fargo for a southern lunch. We get a jumpstart again and drive to Jasper Florida to check out the sights and to hopefully recharge the car battery. We get back to the cottage and relax. Marcel gets motivated to play some music and from this he records the fabulous track 'Cottage #3' (which will be included on the swamp CD-R)! April 13, 2000 (Day 5) Marcel and I pack up and try to get back to Atlanta. My car battery is still bad so we push start the car - and we're off. Just as we are about to leave the swamp - we see a black bear running across the road - what a rare sight! We take a different route back and see more forests and some small towns. Along the way I see a black moccasin snake on the road slithering across, but unfortunately I could not avoid him and I ran him over. As we cruise back to Atlanta (push-starting the car each time we stop) we listen to the tapes by Marcel and Dave and just smile and cruise on... April 19, 2000 Marcel transfers the tapes onto CD at my home and then heads back to Holland. What a trip! April 21, 2000 (Good Friday) I am making demo copies of the music for the fans that attended and soon there will be an official release of the first electronic swamp music CD titled 'Okefenokee Dreams 2000'. I'll send a post to the list when the CD is available. Also, we'll try to have a web page ready soon along with copies of the video. Stay tuned. And finally, I'd like to state that we plan to have this event again next April 2001. I will be making reservations about 5-6 months in advance and I will be asking this time for money up front. You can call this trip the 'demo' swamp trip. But it has happened and everyone agrees this is a great place to hold an annual event like this. More EM musicians will most likely join us. So let's at least go from 6 nuts in a swamp to at least 16 nuts in a swamp next year. You won't regret it - just plan in advance. Thanks for the support! Vic Rek NP: Okefenokee Dreams 2000 Demo CD :-))) From: 'Dave Brewer' Date: Sat Apr 22, 2000 1:13 am Subject: My Okefenokee Report (long post) Okay, it looks like some folks would like to hear about it, and no one's voiced any opposition to it. So I'll go ahead with my account. I must warn you, I'm not the best storyteller in the world. Friday, April 7 - I had to get up kinda early for my flight from Arizona, but things were pretty uneventful. After having the flight delayed, having problems at the Atlanta airport, and getting lost on my way to Vic's, I finally made it! Marcel was already there with his gear set up, and so was Vic's mom, his cousin Jan and his son. It was really nice of them to keep dinner out for me! After hanging out a little, and nursing a headache, I pulled out my keyboard to see if it survived the trip. Marcel and I just messed around a bit with some music, and we all hung out and talked, and listened to music. Saturday, April 8 - Today we got up and went out to a neat little park near the Chattahoochee river to take some 'promo' pictures. It was cold and windy, but still nice. We took some pictures of Marcel and myself, and Vic's son even got in a couple of them. I thought the whole activity was kinda silly (tryin' to look like a cool musician!), but there were some good photos taken, and I guess they'll be on the CDR artwork. For one, we climbed up on a tree that was hanging out over the water. I slipped and almost fell off, but I caught myself with a hand on some poison ivy! (I was fine tho) After that, Marcel and I went to a nearby mall to check it out. Then we returned to Vic's house to hang out some more and wait for dinner company. Eventually, we were joined by James Owens and his wife, Jim Moore, and Tom George, and we all had dinner. Some time later, since we now had a captive audience, Marcel and I took to our keyboards and played a bunch of different things. I think everybody enjoyed it, judging from the comments. Unfortunately, James and his wife had to return home, and Jim got called away by his job. So the rest of us hung out, played more music, then got some rest before the trek to the deeeep south. Sunday, April 9 - Vic, Marcel, Tom, Jan, and myself head out for Okefenokee! Nothing too exciting. Marcel and I talked quite a bit about things, and we listened to a Led Zepplin CD and the tapes of stuff we recorded so far. We didn't see one instance of 'Southern Justice' on the way down! :-) We got to Stephen Foster park and the cottages near dusk, and were soon joined there by Roger Smith, with a canoe on top of his truck. I think we were all surprised by these cottages. They were full-blown, 2-bedroom houses with just about everything you could need. We got settled in, and had an excellent feast. We hung out for a while, chatting, having a few drinks. Then we decided to walk around the park a bit. I think it was past curfew, but oh well. There wasn't very many people there anyway. We walked down to a little 'amphitheater' near some of the camp sites. It was really just a cleared-out area with some bleachers and a little wooden stage with a power outlet. There was also a big bonfire pit to one side of the stage. That would have been neat to play there, but we didn't have enough amplification to play in such an open area. We returned to the cottages and hung out some more, listening to music and talking. It was an unusual experience for me to be sitting around with a bunch of other people, listening to TD! I was enjoying it, but it was getting really late. Roger suggested getting up early to do some paddling. We finally settled into our beds at some awfully late hour, with Roger and Tom at one cottage, and the rest of us in the other. Monday, April 10 - Ugh, I get up too late! It's about 10 AM! I think most of us ended up sleeping in too long, although I heard that Roger was up and around early. I missed the deer that came up to the house. Oh well, I got to see the pictures at least. After I get myself together, I'm out back of the cottage with some of the others, and we notice a woodpecker going to work on some tree, so we sneak up and take some pictures. I seem to remember also seeing a raccoon scurry by. Some time later on, we hear a long, low grunting noise. We figure it's some kind of alligator noise, so we walk to the edge of the trees to investigate. All of the sudden, Jan starts making this strange sound, like a raquetball bouncing or something. He says it's the mating call of 'gators, to try to attract one. I don't think any of us believed him, but we all had a good laugh from it! We never saw a gator then, tho. We cooked up some hamburgers for lunch. I guess it smelled good, cuz right after we started cooking, a hawk was circling right overhead! No beef for you, pal! After lunch, it was too hot to go out paddling in the middle of the day, so we decided to make some music under a picnic shelter near the visitor center. We got all set up and played another 20 minute improvised piece. Marcel said it was the first time he ever played outdoors. After we were done, Vic got a card for the folks at the TDI office, and we all signed it and he got it mailed off. Maybe you'll see it hanging on their wall if you ever make it to their office. We decided we were going to play the main set of music in the visitor center, and somehow, Vic and Roger got us permission. It was getting later and cooler, and Jan had to return home. We wished him farewell and we decided to go on a little canoe trip. Roger and Tom got in Roger's canoe, and Vic, Marcel and I got in a rental. I was the middle person, so I was spared having to paddle, but I did take pictures. We saw some gators floating stationary in the boat launch area, and paddled out of a canal. I guess we almost ran over a gator in the canal, but all I could see was Marcel's back, so I have to take their word for it. Once we got out of the canal, we were out of the park and the water opened up wide. The trees were really interesting. A lot of them were just growing up out of the water, like they were their own islands. Vic recommended we head closer to the water's edge, and sure enough, that's where we see alligators! There were quite a few around, just sitting there, like they were waiting for people to go by. Most of them were kinda small, but there was one big fat one on land that we saw. Unfortunately, time was getting short so we didn't go very far before turning back. We saw a bunch more alligators on the way back, including a little one stretched out on a log with one foot missing! I got a good picture of this three-footed little guy. We got back to the boat launch and there was still some gators floating around. We tried to get close to take pictures, but like celebrities dodging the paparazzi, they ducked under the water before we had a chance. There was one right on the boat ramp, however, and we were careful not to scare him away when we got out, so we got some pictures of this one as well. What a beauty! (trying to sound like the Crocodile Hunter on those cable TV shows :-) ) We returned to the cottage and had an excellent Jambalaya dinner courtesy of Roger. Then we got all set up in the visitor center for the evening show. Vic even tried to advertise it, but no one else there was interested. The park rangers were nice to let us in there so late. They just asked us to lock it up when we were done. We set up on a little stage, and a couch was placed right in front. We had a basic idea of what we were going to play. Something that started off mysterious, swampy, eerie, then going into a neat sequence that Marcel concocted after hearing Hoenig & Gottsching's Early Water Saturday night. We played in near total darkness for the intro and ending, and it really added to the atmosphere! We ended up playing for about 30 minutes with that piece. We all enjoyed it. I know I was getting lost in the atmosphere while I was helping make it! We packed up and went back to the cottage to listen to what we had made that day. Unfortunately, the outdoors performance wasn't recorded due to technical problems. But the evening piece was, and it turned out very well! We spent the rest of the night hanging out, listening to music, and having a little raffle for a bunch of items. It was all lots of fun, but I had to get up early to get back to Atlanta the next day. Tuesday April 11 - I should have stayed an extra day! That is a really neat place! But I already had my plane ticket to head home. Tom and I left a bit after 8 AM after saying our goodbyes to the others. He had his car at Vic's house on the north end of town, and the airport is on the south end! We listened to music and chatted a bit on the way back. This time I found Vic's house with no problem. (you miss one little turn-off and you head for South Carolina!) We parted ways at Vic's house and I went to the airport. What happens next is kinda interesting, but I guess it's not worse than what TD has gone through when travelling with their gear. I checked my bags (my keyboard case, an army surplus duffel bag with my stand and seat, and suitcase), but they said I had one too many and I had to pay extra for it! What?! I didn't have to in Phoenix! Whatever. I payed it, and the lady eyes my keyboard case and asks, 'Is that a gun?' I answer promptly, 'No, it's a musical keyboard. Do you want me to show you?' She looks at the case, then me, then the case again. 'No, that's okay, if that's what you say it is,' she says. A gun? Sheesh. It's an SKB case for a 61-key keyboard! That would hold a big gun! I walk away, and watch her take my stuff, laughing to myself when she lugs that heavy, green army duffel bag and think 'there's my gun!' ;-) I think it's all fine and I walk through the x-ray checkpoint. But they don't give me my bag, they just stare at the monitor, and irradiate my things. They ask to look through my stuff and I let them. Everything's fine, but they sure seem paranoid here. I ask if they had a scare or something. They said they just saw the wires for my little CD player. Okay, whatever. I look around and notice they are frisking little old ladies as well! I'm outta here. I get home fine, and I listen to Tang Go in the car back to my house. (thank you Vic!) This was an awesome trip. I will definitely do it again next year. Hopefully, there will be more people next time! And hopefully more musicians, since there is quite a few of us on this list. I really enjoyed jamming with Marcel. I hope you enjoyed reading this!

I love the rhythms, the eccentric guitar work, and the second half of the track is very atmospheric. And the finish is superb! Of course the other tracks are also great but I needed some time before I could really appreciate Desert Dream: when I used to play Encore all the way through, I kind of got wound down at the start of Desert Dream because it does not have the moving sequencer rhythms, but once in the middle of the track, I always got accustomed to it. And one more thing: I associated most of the pictures printed in the middle of the fold-out LP with Coldwater Canyon. I don't know why. I don't have the LP now, I have replaced it with a CD and I miss those pictures :( Pal From: 'Szatmari, Pal' Date: Sat Apr 22, 2000 9:09 am Subject: Re: [tadream]Okefenokee >In a message dated 04/20/2000 8:13:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time, >deibu@i... writes: > ><< 'd like to, but I don't want to annoy anyone with a message to the list >just talking about the trip.

Unfortunately 3 of the discs repeat from the Jubilee set and 2 of them replace the ones that got dupilcated in the same set. Four of the last 5 are all unreleased stuff and the last one are all the single tracks that have appeared on other compilation CD's or as singles. Everything in all the sets is UNRELEASED!!!!

It's also an admirable swan song for Christopher Franke, who left the band right after Livemiles' release. Sure, in the scheme of things this may not be a epic moment in TD's career, but it's an excellent example of TD's amazing knack for churning out good themes and melodies at a rapid pace (from album/concert to album/concert, I mean). Livemiles is fraught with catchy ditties, hidden chordal patterns of great beauty, and exciting rhythms. Sometimes unmemorable, but sometimes mind-burrowing (I've had about a four-measure phrase from Livesmiles going around and around in my head all day, and I haven't even listened to it for ages!), Livemiles is definitely an important album to have in your collection if you wish to get a better understanding of the dramatic difference between the varying Blue Years styles and the solid, multi-faceted style of the Melrose and early Seattle Years. In other words, Livemiles is, at the very least, an important transition piece, and that is something to keep in mind as you're evaluating the musical content of this work. I can hardly wait 'till next week, though, when the first TD album I ever heard will be talked about. My mind 'races' as I try to 'see' the outcome of next week's discussion! ;) Take care, Jared __________________________________________ Jared White E-mail: jwhite@g...

It is about 3 and a half hours so i knew i wouldn't get there until 10ish. i contemplated calling Vic to make sure they would be up but then i decided of course they will. the directions Vic gave me were spot on and i had no trouble at all finding his place. Of course knowing that the next day was Sunday i located a store that had a reasonable selection of imported beer and loaded up for the upcoming days. I rang the doorbell of Vic's house and he answered the door wearing his 'Great Wall of China' t-shirt from 'The Millenium Booster' pack. James & wife, Jim, Dave and Marcel were all sitting around chatting so with a cold one in hand after the long drive i pulled up a chair. After an hour or so James & Wife (sorry i don't remember her name) and Jim left and we were a trio. At some point we listened to 'Early Water' by Hoenig and Goetshing (sp) which was wonderful. After a few more beers i wandered up to Vics TD room and was totally amazed by his collection (and i didn't see but half of it). After that we returned to the living room where Marcel and Dave began weaving their magic. It was hard to do but at some point we all realised that tomorrow would be a long day so we retired. Sunday, April 9 i was the first one up Sunday morning and began getting ready for this wonderful experience. I made the decision (later regretable) to ride with someone so that i could leave my ageing car to rest thus sparing it a 5 and a half hour drive each way. i say later regretable because i knew in advance if i didn't drive i would have to return Tuesday with Dave because there wouldn't be room in Vic's car Thursday for me with all the equipment. I had 2 weeks off so I had no excuse not to stay the whole time. Anyway Vic's cousin Jan showed up with Vic's mother and everyone began eating and getting ready to leave. We were supposed to hook up with Jim on the way out of town but he called and had to go to work so he said he would join us later at the site. so we set out in a caravan of 3 cars. Vic and I in his BMW, Dave and Marcel in Dave's rental car and Jan alone in his car. I had brought 3 home made tapes to listen to. One was 'Staatsgred West' (sp) with other rare stuff on it. Then another was 'Sorcerer & Cyclone' and then 'Traumzeit' on 2 90 minute tapes. Vic had various rare and unreleased concert tapes so we had an all TD music ride. We saw alot of rural Georgia and it was quite beautiful. One thing that was kind of funny on the trip was we would be on this desolite stretch of highway and all of a sudden would be this huge billboard sign advertising 'Totally Nude' and truck parking available and we wondered what kind of women would be in these places in the middle of nowhere. We also saw a number of police cars with cars pulled over but we were lucky enough to not have a personal encounter with these long arms of the law. all in all it was a long but very nice drive. the anticipation was high when we finally saw the signs for the park and looked forward to checking into our 'cabins'. I had brought my own bedding because i expected a real cabin with screened in windows and a barbecue pit. Was i ever surprised when i saw these luxurious houses with central air conditioning and heat, a fully equipped kitchen with everything from microwaves to coffee makers and all the dishes and pots and pans you could ever need. these places were better then motels. they even had cable tv although we never used them. well the first thing we decided to do was to cook outdoors these beautiful cajun spiced chickens we had bought at the store. i started the grill with way to much charcoal and it burned HOT forever. so finally we had to put the chicken on and needless to say we had blackened chicken that night. then we relaxed to some good homemade music and beer. Marcel had in his rack this thing with all kinds of buttons and knobs called a Virus and with his artful touch it would make some amazing sounds. this first night ended in a blur of overtiredness, roadweariness and a little too much beer (for me at least). April 10, i woke up feeling good at around 8 am. i wondered outside and Roger was outside at the picnic table playing with his digital camera. we had some coffee and all of a sudden 3 deer walked up out of the woods and strolled around the cabin next door where Dave, Jan, Vic and Marcel slept. We enjoyed watching them and Roger got some pictures while all of the sleeping beauties stayed conked out next door. Well around 11 oclock we decided they had slept long enough so we went over to wake them up. all of the doors were locked tight so we started banging on the doors. finally Dave came to the door and let us in. After everyone was up we loaded up the equipment and took it down the road to an outdoor amphitheatre (actually a covered picnic area) and set up. There Dave and Marcel played some incredible stuff. After the music was over we decided to build a dinner appetite by getting into the canoes and going for a ride. The swamp was glorious and calm and alligators and turtles put on quite a show for us tourists in their domain. I could hear TD music in my head while we glided through this ancient beauty. In short it was amazing. We got back and had a grand dinner prepared by Roger of some sort of cajun fare prepared with chicken and venison. Then we began taking the equipment down to the visitors center which had a small stage and a museum and all sorts of really odd pictures on the wall of rural life and settlers that had occupied this place 100 years earlier. We pulled a couch up right in front of the stage and readied ourselves for the show. Roger or Vic set up these 2 wildlife creatures that were stuffed and put Tangerines in their paws and put them in front of the stage. it was a really cool effect. Dave and Marcel were really in their element this night and the concert was magical as you will hear on the cd and see in the video. A really incredible mind journey was had by all. After we had carted everything back to the cabins we tipped a few beers and had a raffle of all the remaining items and we all retired fully at peace. April 11 Well Dave and I get up at 8 am to begin our journey home. We say farewell to our sleeping comrades and head off. Dave's rental car was really a dream and a pleasure to ride in. it was a chrysler of some sort and had a cd player and a cassette. We drove and talked and listened to TD. We stopped for pizza at the exact same exit that we had stopped for lunch at on the way down without realizing it. It was a long drive back to Atlanta but very enjoyable. At Vic's house i threw my stuff into my car and said goodbye to Dave and began my 3 and a half hour drive back to Knoxville. I was beat when i got home and i kicked myself in the butt a hundred times for not taking my car and staying the extra couple of days. All i can say to everyone is this is a MUST for next year.

It's been discussed earlier. Though more likely as the individual Sets Silver, Historical and Jubilee Editions. But you're right. There's still an aweful lot to say about this set. > wondering what's on it? Is there a lot of > unreleased stuff? Live stuff? What's the deal? The Ultimate Edition 50CD set contains the Silver Edition (10CDs), Historic Edition (10CDs) and Jubilee Edition (25CDs) sets. Plus and additional 5 new CDs. All of it is previously unreleased stuff if you're not counting the before mentioned Editions. Silver Edition contains a couple of awesome Live recordings from 1975, 76 and 77 plus a lot of previously unreleased studio recordings and soundtrack material. Historic Edition contains mostly Live recordings from 1075-81, but a couple of discs has been filled with old historic studio recordings from 1968-70 too. Jubilee Edition is Schulze's 50th birthday box set to his fans. Containing 1947 mins because KS was born in 1947. 25 CDs was done also to mark his 25th anniversary as a solo artist. JE contains a wealth of Live recordings, unreleased studio and soundtrack recordings, plus a couple of brand new CDs not released anywhere else. A fantastic present from KS / KDM to the fans. Ultimate Edition came about to mark the Millennium and because the demand for the previous boxed sets was great enough to warrent a rerelease of the sets. KS added 5 brand new CDs to the set containing new sparkling studio recordings, previously unreleased studio and live recordings plus rare lone tracks. The 5 CDs were put in the 5th box of 10 CDs along with some Jubilee Edition CDs which were changed due to minor errors in JE. The only downside to the 5th box is that if you already own Jubilee Ed. you will be buying 3 CDs identical to the CDs in JE. However the downside quickly fades as you hear the 2 changed CDs and the brilliant very long versions of Georg Trakl (Discover Trakl 28mins) and Friedrich Nitzsche (Crazy Nietzsche 43:12) both originally from X. The Cello, Bologna, From The Attic, Lone Tracks also makes it more than worth the extra money paid for the 3 CDs identical to JE. Ultimate Edition also contains 6 more CDs with minor changes. 4 CDs which has been slightly remastered (no changes to the music) and 2 CDs from Silver Edition with an added 5 mins each. (Make me consider buying the rest of Ultimate Edition ;-)) All CDs has huge playing times. More than 75 mins in average. Most CD passing the 78-79 min mark. So you do get your moneys worth. Not all of it will appeal to everyone. These sets are for KS diehards. Even KS diehards will have a hard time with some of the CDs. For example it took me 5 years to start appreciating Picasso Geht Spazieren (a 2 CD composition 154 mins long) from Silver Edition. > Also, how does one go about getting it in the US? Get in touch with Mario Schoenwaelder on Manikin Records. www.manikin.de Mario is dead reliable. I bought and prepaid all my editions every time from him. All of them were delivered on time. Maybe starting a new thread (Ultimate thread) on the list we could work our way through the Ultimate Edition (or the individual editions) on a similar basic as with TDs released. It wouldn't take us more than about a year to get thru this one KS release ;-))) Okay I admit.

As for me, I liked Livemiles from the moment I heard it for the first time. (I bought the LP in Germany when I had a tour of Europe in 1988 or 1989 and I could hardly wait until I got home and was able to give it a spin on my turntable). Thanks for Dell and Carlo for providing the wording and translation of the Spanish intro on one of the great TD chats :) The beginning of the album reminds me of Cherokee Lane and Tangram Part2 (all three give a smooth start before the sequences come in). Livemiles is very dynamic. Sounds, patches, rhythms and melodies are abundant on the album. It is great how the volume and the rhythms change. My favourite moments of it are the quick-paced parts: the jazzy track after the piano part in Livemiles 1, the ticking sequences after the slow part, and the last movement of Livemiles 2 (incredible build-up). Lots of TD fans despise of Livemiles because most of it is not recorded live. I am fortunate enough to have live fan recordings of that era (thanks to friends made on this mailing list!) and I can say that the live versions are very similar. I don't care if it was recorded live or not (and that goes for tangentized concerts, too) because what I hear is ALL TD music after all... and I am grateful for each and every opportunity to hear more and more TD... and I judge the music, not the method of making it. np.

Again, I'm going to try to stay positive on my review of this. Many believe this to be the last 'great' album by Tangerine Dream. I won't completely agree or disagree with that one. ------------------------------- First, the liner notes and printing on this CD simply label it at two ubertracks. The first group of 4 tracks is labeled simply as Part One : Albuquerque. No names are given for the individual tracks. The second group of 3 tracks is labeled Part Two: West Berlin. Again, no names are given for the individual tracks. The only track that has since been given a name is track 4. It is now labeled 'San buena [sic.] Ventura' and is most easily recognized by its progressive scales throughout and stutter-step percussion. (from the Dream Roots compilation) My favorite tracks from Livemiles are: Track 2 - A determined, very heavily paced piece. Electric guitar adds some sincerity to this piece as well. Track 3 - This isn't too far removed from the sequences of Poland. It was, however, the beginning of the overly melodicized TD we have today. I think this is a cool track overall. Track 7 - Just a great track. It's determined, a bit dark, and one of the last times that TD pulled off a 9 minute track that neither shockingly changes direction with no clear intent, nor fails to evolve for the duration. It simply evolves and reinforces what we've heard before, without hitting us over the head with the same things over and over. Also, the bridge between tracks 2 and 3 is the only authentic bridge on the CD (as far as I know). This did not weight this listener's opinion! ------------------------------- There has been a LOT of debate over this album. First, the songs on this album were NEVER played in the sequence as they appear on this CD except tracks 2 and 3, which were always played back-to-back. Second, the first 1:35 of this album is fictional. According to people who attended the Albuquerque show, there was no announcement in Spanish or any other language. And the first notes and fluff strings are added here to hide the fact that the first song on this CD wasn't the first song played. Edgar claims that most of the Albuquerque tracks were in fact played and recorded at the sound check an hour before the concert. Third, attendees of European shows assure us that TD never led off with the track appearing here (track 5), although I don't believe there is any attempt to lead us to believe that it *was* the first track. There is a woman narrating a small introduction, there is audience noise, and then we lead into a track. It could simply mean 'We now join the concert already in progress.' There HAS to be a reason why this album came out the way it did, labeled as it was. I have a notion that there were contractual requirements to turn out some kind of live release (this is my opinion, of course). Much of the material played live in 1986 and 1987 appeared in the 1988 film Miracle Mile, and already on various releases like Underwater Sunlight, Lily on the Beach, etc. so could not be re-released. I believe Edgar and Co. took the 7 or so unreleased pieces of music from their 1986-1987 repertoire and (again I am guessing here), for contractual reasons, repackaged it as a live album, tacked on a Spanish guy (with a very smooth voice, if I may say so) doing an introduction, and then strings and faux vocals to bridge the pieces together. Edgar rarely replies to criticism, but he did have a response to criticism of Livemiles, however I do not have this article. Anyone care to post it? It was in one of the quarterly TD fan mailings. It cannot be said that this stuff was never played live, because the concert recording 'Spherical Harmonics' contains tracks 2 & 3 from it. Can anyone corroborate that all 7 pieces were played at one time or another live during 1986-1987? ------------------------------ It took me a little while to get into Livemiles, but I really like it as an album. I do still giggle when someone refers to this album as 'Studiomiles'. Happy Easter everyone -Morgan n.p.

They did give away some prizes, 1(!) Sony CD, one or more Dream Dices and one or more TDI The Keep. They do answer a lot(!) of questions on the show. So far some 30 or 40 questions have been answered. Steve Jenkins, Mike Jean, Dennis Nighbur and Jeffrey Au-Yeung were some of the people from this list who got their questions answered! And here are the Highlights: - - Sidney 82 will be released '1 to 1' as performed (no re-recording, only sound cleanup) - - The Keep is delayed because 'Virgin has misplaced their contractual agreement with Paramount' (Edgar agreed that this sounds unbeliavable but says these things can and do happen). - - TD are working on new music for a Discovery Channel documentary about The collapsing of buildings - - TD are talking to Hollywood studios again about new soundtrack work! - - Edgar explained why many CDs contain bonus material which force fans to buy 2 editions. Reason is (true not just for TD) that a lot of records are first released in one continent (say US). European record distributors are often afraid that too many fans have already imported their copies from the US and so ask to make the European version different and distinguishable. - - TD will/cannot release the Sony CD music, but Sony will offer a CD-ROM later. TD expects to be asked to contribute the full version of the score which is actually 32 minutes long (an 18 minutes version was performed) - - Lions Share, now being recorded, will be 'a bit more experimental again'. Expected to be released Spring 99. - - TDI will also release non-TD artists and plans a first release for Vicky McClure (Rose Of Babylon) for next year. - - Period of Hollywood Years Vol 1&2 is material from 1988 to 1997. It is deliberate that the names of the movies are not mentioned as there is the potential for copyright problems. - - A Hollwood Vol 3 with pre-1988 material is planned for the next box set!! Yes, indeed...a new box set is in planning which will again include 12 CDs just as Dream Dice!!! - - Mandala is also going to be part of the next box. - - A book is in planning for next year which will include art and information about TD to 'set the record straight on some misinformation that has been circulating...' - - Lhasa, the full cycle (6 segments) will be released next year on a CD. - - And here a big suprise: Prompted by a question, Edgar used the opportunity to make a 'late night confession'. He stated that over the entire existance of Tangerine Dream from the beginning on, there was not one single TD member that left the band completely voluntary. Edgar said that all of them were more or less asked to leave (I will get the exact wording translated later). - - The Berlin Reichstag concert (81?) is expected to be released next year once Edgar gets the agreement with the ex members worked out. - - In fact, Edgar expects even more live material from the Schmoelling era to be released.

I've added a little more info to it that I omitted the first time. ++++++++++++++++ _LIVEMILES_- More like _Studiomiles_! I know what the liner notes say. I know what the Official Homepage says. I know what Edgar says. But I also know that what my own ears are telling me is quite a different thing! Having been present at the Alberquerque concert, and in possesion of a fantape of said show, I can unequivocately state with absolute accuracy that *not*one*single*bit* of _Livemiles_: 'Alberquerque' was performed at that concert! That includes the 'intro'! It has *got* to be a studio session! Either that or the soundcheck was *really* something! If you have the _Sonambulistic Imagery_ boot, then you essentially know the entire tour program, including the Alberquerque show. The only real differences were in the guitar solos. Although for some dates, 'Dominion' replaced 'Bois de Boulogne' and in Toronto there was an additional guitar encore to make up for the power interruption during the gig. As for 'Livemiles: Berlin', it, too, is not what it seems. This was a special concert contracted by the City of Berlin for the 750th anniversary celebration, which holds the performance rights to this concert. The concert was performed on Aug. 1, '87, and eventually broadcast on Oct. 22 that same year, after some _slight_ studio work was done to it. In order to release it for _Livemiles_, however, the band had to completely reperform the material chosen for the CD, due to the contract with the city. The opening track, 'Caspian Sea', is pretty faithful to the concert version, with just some minor voiceing changes, and ditto the second track, 'Sunnyvale' (though the tempo for both is faster than was originally played.) However, the last track, 'Dolphin Dance', is a totally different version of what was performed. The version as played in the concert was the same version as the '86 UK/US Tours. This entire concert can be found on the boots _Antarktis_/_20th Century Serenades_ in absolutely great quality. ++++++++++++++++++ FYI, the song titles indicated for the Berlin track are official. Although there also appears to be a *second* title for the second track: 'Velvet Autumn'. The following is info from Mark Schaffer and John Burek (with a [very] little hand from me!): In the same radio show (Schwingungen 2/23/89) that named Samba Motel, the latter 4 - 5 minutes of this track was played and called Sunnyvale. However, the radio announcer's track list for the original '87 broadcast gives the track between Dolphin Dance and Smile as Velvet Autumn! It's possible that the band supplied the radio station with a skeleton track list, and that subsequently Edgar gave the tracks new names when he went on the radio show on WDR two years later (thereby showing that he had forgotten that some of the tracks already had names). The '88 shows did feature _Livemiles_:'Alberquerque' pts. 2 & 3, so at least it can be said that *some* of the material was played live...eventually! goozer From: Synthhtnys@a...

There was no announcer at the show. Most people speak English and some Spanish in Albuquerque. but English is the language outside the home. The concert was amazing, but there's a lot of music missing from that show. Haslinger's solo piano was wonderful. Haslinger and Froese did a dueling guitar thing that was perhaps the coolest live TD moment I've seen (it's not on the cd). All in all, I loved the concert and was disappointed to find when I bough the CD that a lot of the music was, and remains, absent. I spoke to Paul Haslinger once about this and he mumbled something about legal issues.

In an interview Franke said that right after the West Berlin concert, Edgar came to him with an idea of doing more soundtrack work, but he wanted to take some time off. As that didn't fit Edgar's plans, Franke decided to leave TD. If that's true, that'd place the time of his departure in August '87. Now, 'Livemiles' was released in early '88 (if I remember correctly) and that raises an interesting question: If Part 1 is all studio work and not a soundcheck as Edgar claims, could it be new Froese/Haslinger material? The same question applies to the last third of Part 2, which partly consists of old themes and soundtrack material, but is otherwise new. goozer writes: > In the same radio show (Schwingungen 2/23/89) that named Samba Motel, > the latter 4 - 5 minutes of this track was played and called Sunnyvale. > However, the radio announcer's track list for the original '87 broadcast > gives the track between Dolphin Dance and Smile as Velvet Autumn! I'm in favor for the name 'Sunnyvale', because track names like 'San Buena Ventura' and 'Caspian Sea' refer to actual places whereas 'Velvet Autumn' just describes a nice-looking time of the year.

Haha! Oops, sorry to laugh. If the store went through the trouble to print up stickers, you gotta wonder about their intentions. Kaleidoscope was the name of a psychedelic rock group in 1967, and they released an album called 'Tangerine Dream'. I've never heard the music myself; is it any good? This topic has come up before. I contacted the lead person from that group, Peter Daltrey, after we started discussing it on that tadream list.

His e-mail is chelsea@c... It seems to me (just an impression) that Edgar gets a little glee from keeping the TD name origins a secret; after all, I've never seen a straight answer to that question. I don't know if it is because he is just a jokester kind of guy (e.g. throwing keyboards out the window to test them), or he smugly views the question as irrelevant or he just doesn't remember. But as a fan, and a mild trivia buff, I am curious. I have also seen references on this list to some sort of grand scheme to TD's 'mission' over the years- as if Edgar had this vision in 1967 that he wanted to fulfill, and has been accomplishing it gradually through TD's albums. (Remember the thread about the album names having a sequential significance?) I think (again, this is just an impression) that if Ed really said this, he could be 'toying' with the fans. It would be like Leonard Nimoy planting the seed of a rumor at a Star Trek convention that there was some sort of 'Star Trek secret handshake'...then he laughs at how pitiful the lives of those fans must be to hinge on his every word. I have to admit it would be tempting- can you imagine how funny it would be to see a whole thread of discussions describing how Star Trek nerds... er... fans spent hours and hours poring over videotape and listserves to debate WHICH handshake was the 'secret' one? Wait a minute... that sounds kinda like this list ;-) Either way, please let me know what you've found out- before I lose too much sleep over this! -Joe ---------------------- on 11 Jan 99, Joe Shoults wrote... > >Hi Peter- >Thank you for putting your info about your old group, Kaleidoscope, on the >http://home.clara.net/chelsea/start.htm website.

Yes, I`ve heard all about the group of the TD name, but have never heard their music. I really can`t remember where I got the name from for our first album. It just came to me out of the Sixties consciousness: the colours, the dreams of the time, the lyrics of other songs, the style of writing at that time... But mighty wierd that we should come up with the same combination of two words as someone else in the world at that exact time! >Outside of any Jungian-Collective-Unconscious-type of theory, I think it is >just too much of a coincidence that this name appeared as your album title >and his band within the same year.

Again, I'm not a writer/reviewer. :-) Thursday, April 6 Yesterday I was packing my equipment in a nice flightcase I bought from someone for $25,-. Thursday I went to the airport. My flight would be from Amsterdam to Brussels and then to Atlanta. I was really afraid my equipment would arrive safely so I went to customs to get some sort of receipt (I had written down all the equipment I took to Atlanta) but they wouldn't sign it. I was really angry about this but they assured me it was no problem to get it back again to Holland (yeah sure!). Anyway, the Brussels flight only took about 30 minutes and the landing was quite heavy. Never experienced such a rough landing before but we got there safely :-). Had a few minutes to hop on the Atlanta plane and I was off. The next 8 hours or so was nothing but water and clouds and after a while I saw land again. At the Atlanta airport I searched for my flightcase and was happy to see it was sitting there waiting for me. Few minutes later I met Vic and we drove off to his place. It was very nice weather and Vic had taken off the 'roof' of his BMW convertible. While driving down the highway we heard some noises behind us and we saw the upper part of the flightcase coming off and flew on the highway. Hopefully it didn't land on someone car but some of them certainly drove over it (incl. some horn blows :-)). Anyway, we couldn't get it back and I thought some wood would do fine for the top. At his home I met his son Patrick. We ate something and Friday, 7 April Okay, this was the day to do some shopping. We had to get a simple keyboard (as long as there was midi on it) and a voltage converter. Drove around Atlanta and we got the keyboard at Guitar Centre, which was quite okay (at least thats what the salesman told haha). Later we found a very nice converter at a hispanic electronic store. It could do different kind of convertions and was up to 500 Watt. More then enough to drive my gear :-). Back at Vic's place, after a nice dinner (which were all great), we connected the gear and I could test if the synths hadn't died on the plane. Saturday, 8 April This day I/we met some other people like Dave, James Owens/wife, Tom George and Jim Moore (wasn't Jan already there Vic?). We all chatted about music and other things. We even had the SwampPak raffle. We all got some nice things from Vic (thanks!) and after that Dave and I played some music, which turned out to be a mini concert in Vic's livingroom. It is recorded and some of it will probably reach the CDR. (and no it won't be tangentized :-)). Sunday, 9 April Okay, this was the day we all drove to Okefenokee. What a trip it was...it was a good 5 1/2 hours drive from Atlanta to Okefenokee, something I'm not very used to in this little country. But it was well worth it. We stopped at Wendy's to have some snacks. On the way (I was driving with Dave who rented a very nice Oldsmobile) we listened to the music we recorded the day before and some Led Zeppelin. The radio played country most of the time so we thought it would be better to play some other music :-). We stopped in Valdosta to do some final shopping before going into no mans land. Hamburgers, steaks, chicken, alcohol...couldn't wait to get to Okefenokee! :-) As we drove closer and closer the landscape certainly changed. Trees were different, we even saw some first signs of water/swamp. It was a good 17 miles drive from the last village (a cafee and a tankstation) to Okefenokee so I felt really like leaving earth. Finally arrived at Okefenokee and we went to the cottages. Now before leaving to Okefenokee I had some ideas about cottages, those ideas were that they were small, warm and not much comfort but these cottages had everything you could have dreamed of. A full blown kitchen with fridge, microwave etc. a very nice and clean bathroom and even a tv. Now at such a cottage I could stay/enjoy myself for a few days I/we thought. After some barbequed chicken (I like bbq!) we walked a bit around the parc and see the possibilities about where to play etc. In the evening we connected the gear and played some music. Went to sleep at 3AM (hmm it was 3 AM every night I guess :-)). Monday, 10 April Some of us (including me) woke up around 11AM. I didn't had my watch with me so I looked at Dave's one which was set at Arizona time (3 hours later), so I thought it would still be 8AM. :-) I heard that a few deers were at the cottages and that Roger made some nice pictures of them. Would sure have loved to see the deers there. (but I have the pics...thanks!) For breakfest we put some hamburgers on the bbq and it probably smelled really nice because a large bird was circuling(?) it. While eating we heard this very low groaning in the background and noticed that it was an alligator which wasn't very far away from our cottage. Unluckily (or maybe luckily) we didn't see him or heard him again. Also got some nice pics of woodpeckers. In the afternoon we decided it was a good time to do some outdoor music, as it was to warm to do anything else. We set up the gear at some sort of picknick place and after a short pre-concert from Jan we started playing some music. It went really great. As I was playing I was watching around to see the trees and squirrels and that gave me a strange but good feeling. (it was my first outdoor thing I did). Most of it was recorded on video, but sadly, as we found out later, not on tape...but then again you had to be there. :-) Sadly after the concert Jan had to leave and the rest of us went for a canoe trip in the swamps. Roger and Tom had their own canoe and Vic, Dave and me got in another canoe. At first we almost fell out of the canoe (or at least it felt like it) but after a while we got the hang of it. We encountered our first alligator already after a few seconds just swimming next/in front of us...thats a very weird experience. Later on a bigger 'river' you could see lots of gators, turtles and birds which was very nice. And those trees were really strange, I've never seen cypress trees etc (okay on pics) but seeing them in real life is something else. On our way back there was an gator sunshining on the 'shore'. Roger got quite close to it and we all got some great pics of it. At the evening we had some dinner made by Tom and Roger (salad was courtesy of Vic :-))...jambalaya with some meat etc which was very nice (as we found out later on :-)). Packed the equipment in Rogers jeep and drove to the museum where we would play that night. By the time we got there I was noticing the jambalaya was somehow 'working' on me so I was glad there was a toilet over there haha. The museum was a very nice setting for the concert with all kinds of animals sitting around the little stage. After some soundchecking we were ready to play. The lights were out and all we could see were the lights from our equipment and vaguely these animals which had definitely inspired me (and I think Dave as well). Together with the experiences from the swamp that afternoon we played a imo very atmospheric and dark piece which we were very pleased with. Everything we did this trip was played live (apart from some sequences which I even programmed just a few minutes before the concert :-)). This track will be the main title for the CDR. While putting the gear back into the jeep we noticed some other people had 'problems' with the jambalaya too but it was a great laugh! Back at the cottage we had a raffle of various music and that was also a great time (everything was great actually). Tuesday, 11 April Sadly Tom and Dave had to leave this day early, so it was me, Vic and Roger that were left. This time we got ourselves a motorboat because we wanted to go further into the swamp and Vic took control as the captain in the first part of the trip. First place we got was Billy's Island which had some very nice places (swamp pics). We even saw an old cemetery and some sort of old rusted vehicle. We wanted to go further but after a while we weren't exactly 'on the pad' anymore so we got back to the boat and went further into the swamp. Man, you could wander around these swamp for hours and hours and see all kinds of new things. We saw lots of gator, turtles, deers and birds, it was really a different world. On the way back I took control as captain of the boat, which probably wasn't a very good idea because we bumped to some trees. Later we found out that the propeller was full of grass (hey, I've got to save myself here Vic :-)). Back at the cottage we had some nice dinner and suddenly Barbara the manager comes in and asked if we were interested in a evening/night tour in the swamp. Of course we were! It's a good thing she didn't see all the beer cans on the floor (hmmm she saw it but didn't really say anything about it :-)). A tour around the swamp at night is really something else. We all had lantarns with us so we could shine at the shores were most of the gators were. Boy there were more orange eyes then I would have thought or then I saw in the afternoon. And then those frog-sounds. Really metallic and sometimes a big bullfrog made some big noises which sounded like a pig or someone who had a bit too much coca cola :-) Back at the cottage we already made some first shots at the cover of the CDR and had another 'raffle'...Roger was explaining some TD tricks and techniques which were really interested! Some of those techniques involved the now famous Jellyfish Sting sound :-) Wednesday, 12 April Today Roger left around noon and Vic and I walked around the parc a little bit. After that we wanted to go for some food at the nearest town (17 miles) and we were ready to start the car but it didn't start! We went to the office and a ranger (incl. the big car and sunglasses) helped us on our way. We eat at the Suwannee cafe which was really southern. The way these people talk is really different then northern people and it was also very religeous. We decided to tour around a little bit but as you may have guessed the car didn't start again. We got some help from someone from a tankstation and again we were on our way. We decided to drive a little bit longer this time so that the battery could charge. We drove to Jasper, Florida and back. We reconned the battery was now okay and before driving back to Okefenokee we stopped by a very nice creek from which I had to take a picture. Back at the cottage we eat most of the food which was left and relaxed a bit and talked about the days we had at this trip. I tried to recreate some of the frog sounds on my synths which let to some very interested sequence sounds and from thereon I was inspired to do some more music. At first I thought it wasn't really interested to record it but thanks to Vic we did record it and now appears as 'Cottage No.3' on the CDR. Thursday, 13 April We woke up quite early today because we wanted to leave early. We ate most of the fruit and other things and packed the car with the gear. And as may have guessed again...the car wouldn't start. I was feeling quite strong that morning so we pushed the car and within a few seconds it started. While driving out of Okefenokee we saw a little black bear crossing the road and that was really weird to see. Too bad I was too late for a picture. We stopped for some gas and some food and (after a push start) we were ready for the trip to Atlanta. We played probably all of the music that was played till then and already decided a little bit which was good for the CDR and which wasn't. When back I met Vic's wife Natascha and we had some nice dinner. Also today I rang a few air-companies because I wanted to go to New York on Saturday. I got a ticket at a nice price. Friday, 14 April Vic had to go to work and I went with Natascha for some shopping. I wanted to buy a Levi's pants and maybe something else. (they are much more expensive over here). We drove around Atlanta a bit and got to a large mall and I got the stuff I wanted, including a t-shirt for jogging. Nothing really exciting but nice. :-) After dinner Vic and I went to some nice bars and the movies and had a couple of drinks... Saturday, 15 April Today we drove to the airport for my New York trip. Vic mother also left for home at Los Angeles. After standing at the wrong company (sorry! :-)) I was off for New York. The flight was about 2.15 hours and I landed at the Newark airport. Got on the bus to get to downtown Manhattan. Wow, this was certainly very different then the swamp! Sometimes it even reminded me of some parts of Amsterdam, but of course it was bigger! I stopped at the World Trade Centre and was amazed by all these big buildings. I phoned Vic to tell him I arrived safely and that I was now looking around for a hotel. I wandered around Manhattan all afternoon and also a large part of the evening to see if there was room left...but they were all booked! :-( Yeah, I could get a room for $250,- but thats insane. Thats almost the price of my ticket to Atlanta! It was starting to rain that evening and wasn't really happy I couldn't find a room. After some phonecalls from some helpfull people at a hotel I got a room at the Armada Hotel which was near the JFK airport. (I should have gotten a room near the Newark airport of course but I was happy there was one available!). So I took it and got there some time later. Very nice room, with kingsize bed, airco, tv, phone, bathroom etc so it was okay I guess (better be for $139,-/night and I was staying 3 nights!!!). Sunday, 16 April I woke up quite late actually but that was because I walked for a very long time the evening before. After a shower and a call my girlfriend and parents I was off to Manhattan. There was a nice free bus service to the airport and subway station and at the subway station you can drive all around New York for just $1.50. Thats something I would like to see over here...over here it's: more distance - more money. Anyway, thankfully I saved some money with this. Arriving at Manhattan I wandered around Broadway, 5th Avenue, Time Square etc etc. Not knowing what all these streets and places are actually, but imo thats part of the fun. Went to various places like Central Parc, Museum of Modern Arts, Time Square, you just name it. Also went to some CD shops but I couldn't find anything interested, but I bought the new Orbit CD. Prices of CDs are also quite a bit lower then in the Netherlands. (what is wrong with the prices in our country???). Had some nice steaks and chicken for dinner at Broadway and thought it was time to get back to the hotel. Got off the wrong station (because they were working on the subway rails) and there I was in the middle of Brooklyn...had absolutely no idea where I was! Thankfully a bus to JFK airport did arrive some time later and found my way back to the hotel. Had some beers at the bar and went to bed. Monday, 17 April Yesterday I decided to see the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and some other things but it was very bad weather and didn't feel like going to the statue with this weather. I got to Manhattan again and this time I wandered around at Soho and China- Town which I found very interested actually. There were some nice restaurants and CD shops (more interesting then those around Time Square). Although they were interesting CD shops I couldn't find rare items or whatsoever so I thought it would be a nice thing to go to the Brooklyn Bridge. Near the bridge there is a nice small docking/mall or something like that where you have some restaurants which had some nice views at the brigde. (which was very nice to see especially with the bad weather). This time I got back at the hotel a bit earlier and had some dinner and beers over there. I also had to get up early to catch my plane. Tuesday, 18 April Got up, had a shower and drove with a taxi to the other airport. (seeing the price of the ride I definitely take a hotel near the airport next time!! :-) But what the heck, I'm here now and I already could stay at Vic's place etc...) Flew back to Atlanta and met Vic again at the airport. He had a rough day at work and I was also a bit tired from New York and the flight so we decided to eat some delicious wings at Hooters. :-) We relaxed and listened to some music that evening. Wednesday, 19 April My last day in America. My flight was at 21.55 so I had the full day left to do some packing, transfering the tapes to CDR. Natascha and I also went to Home Depot to get some wood and tape for the flightcase. It fitted very nicely and did the job very good! I was able to transfer all of the material to CDR and from this CDR there will be some sort of selection which will get to the final CDR. Don't worry about leaving off some things because we will release the full concerts and sessions we did. Other things that were interested will also get onto the CDR but there were also some sound-checking and just nonsense on the tape which will not make it. :-) After dinner I said goodbye to Natascha and Patrick and drove with Vic to the airport. After 2 hours in the plane I got to sleep for a few hours. Thursday, 20 April And we were woken up at 4 o'clock in the morning!! But it was already 10 o'clock in the morning (european time) so we got some breakfest. At Brussels I had a delay of one hour (after waiting already for an hour!) and then flew off the Amsterdam. Had some problems at customs because they wanted me to open the flightcase and they weren't convinced it was my stuff. I told them that I wanted a receipt on the way to Atlanta just to prevent this from happening and it was exactly happening right now! I also told the guy that this gear is running on 220V and not 110V so that also proved (a little bit) that it was my gear. Anyway after a while I could walk thru the gates. And was picked up by my father and drove home. Well, thats about it I guess... I really really had a fantastic time in America and Okefenokee!!! I wouldn't have missed this in the world and will probably be there again next year! Let's make this thing happen every year. I would like to thank everybody who made it to the swamp and made this thing happen. Also thanks to all the people I met (and couldn't meet). Marcel Email :mengels@w...

Date: Wed Apr 26, 2000 12:20 pm Subject: Arcane / Headshock at Jodrell Bank 22nd April 2000 (LONG POST) Forgive the 'spam' nature of this post, particularly to those lists where it may be slightly off-topic. On the 22nd April 2000, Synth Music Direct presented the second of their live shows for this year at the planetarium in Jodrell Bank, Cheshire, UK. After the success of Under the Dome and Radio Massacre International in March, this concert of Arcane and Paul Nagle's new project, Headshock, promised much. I think its fair to say that for the majority of attendees, it delivered big time. The Build Up ------------ I was fortunate enough to travel with Grant (Under the Dome) Middleton for this trip. Fortunate in that I was then able to impose upon Paul Nagle for some overnight accommodation in return for helping him transport some of his gear (and personnel). This offered me a view of the setting-up and dismantling processes in the planetarium itself before and after the show. Paul Nagle's new project is Headshock - primarily a collaboration between Paul and Tim Rafferty. Tim used to play with Paul many years ago in his school band - called Oasis, would you believe. For the live performance, they enlisted the help of John Hickey. John's played with Paul many times either under the banner of Paul Nagle or as Far from Stars. The three-piece band used a lot of equipment - enough to fill two and a half cars (where my car was the half). John also travelled with me and Grant for the last part of the journey - when I said the other cars were full, I meant FULL! Headshock's set-up comprised a variety of things (you know I'm not a gear-head by now) but went along the lines of the following : John had a large, single Roland keyboard and whatever else was required to mix it / control it. I didn't see much of Tim's setup as he did it himself, but there were a couple of keyboards, a cool 'proximity sensor' type of thing that he played like a theramin and his guitar. Paul has his usual, enormous set-up : modular thingmy, an Access Virus, a main keyboard and any variety of extra controllers, mixers and whatever. In stark contrast, Arcane (aka Paul Lawler) followed the Under the Dome methodology - a minimal set-up. A single keyboard, some form of backing tape/disk and a mixer. Before Grant and I headed to the pub for the pre-show get-together with other Beyond_EMmers, we caught a bit of the Arcane 'soundcheck'. Even then, we knew it was going to be a helluva night. The Hype -------- I think it's fair to say that Arcane are currently the hot property in the UK (European?) EM scene. The first album, Gather Darkness, came out last year to some acclaim, but the latest album, Future Wreck, has received rave 'reviews'. Arcane has recreated the 80s TD sound in a manner similar to that of Can Attila's Ave album, but with more 'independence'. The use of TD phrases and structure is clear, but slightly more subtle than that employed on Ave. Paul Nagle is probably one of the longest serving members of the UK EM scene along with people like Mark Shreeve, Ian Boddy and Andy Pickford. Paul never seems to stick to a particular style as witnessed by his last few releases/concerts : from the melodic structures of Earthshaper (from the Elements Series), through the slightly more acoustic and complex structures of Far from Stars to his new Headshock project and 'Monsters' album, you learn to expect the unexpected with Mr. Nagle. The Concert - Arcane --------------------- Arcane were first up, starting at around 7.40pm. I think I'm right in saying that Arcane (Paul Lawler) hasn't played live before/often - he looked a little nervous and self-conscious as he stood out front watched by around 70-80 expectant people. The opening three(or four?) tracks were taken from Future Wreck. Most were played 'to the letter' with little difference from the recorded versions. And they were played perfectly. However, this does not mean that Arcane have adopted the TD live style as well as the TD music. I was priveleged to watch Paul Lawler 'rehearse' in the afternoon and know that he was playing much of the melodies and even some of the more complex chords, etc. live. Paul is a 'real' musician - he has two hands on the keyboard at the same time, often doing different things. I contrast this with what I normally see - people making very good music using the one-finger method I use to type. For those unfamiliar with Arcane's work, it is classic 80s TD with a little nod to 70s ambient/mood segueing between main sections, and a dash of Paul's own solo style (if we can find it - he seems to be a bit of a musical chameleon having read his interview in the concert programme). The music is strong on bright sequences, drums and very strong on melody (the interval saw many people whistling Arcane tunes). The instrumentation is often very similar to that used by TD in the 82-88 period. Whilst I got irritated with the overuse of certain sounds in TD's music toward the end of this period, Arcane uses a variety of appropriate voices so that you don't get irritated, even when THAT harpsichord sound makes an appearance. Just when it seemed that I was going to be slightly disappointed with the Arcane set (all previous material), Paul pulled out his coup-de-gras : two superb new pieces (to me at least) that suggested there was still plenty more to come from Arcane in the future. Both followed the same Arcane style of ambient/noisy intros followed by power songs - foot-tapping beats and whistle-able melodies. The main set closed to a pretty rousing reaction from the audience and after a short pause, Arcane played their encore. When people talk about 'power' synth music, they usually quote Mark Shreeve around the Legion/Assassin era. I've never been a big fan of that style or artist, preferring Andy Pickford's 'songs'. However, what Arcane played as an encore blew any preconceptions I had of this type of EM out of the water. What a thoroughly stonking bit of stomping, loud, crashing, catchy music. And for all that, the tune was complex in structure - it was a marvel to watch Paul playing the melody as his hands dashed around the keyboard, fingers crossing themselves with mind-blowing dexterity. This was a real 'song' with verses, chorus and a rousing finale. I think the concert went down VERY well with the audience - there was a real buzz afterwards during the interval and there was as close to a roar/cheer as I've heard at JB following the encore. Everyone I spoke to loved it. If we speak very nicely to Mr.Lawler, he might release either the concert or a new album with the new material on it. Keep your fingers crossed. As a post-concert note, I just have to point out something amazing from the interview in the programme. Future Wreck was produced in one week. Paul also writes material for TV programmes and for New Age/Relaxtion record labels. For the latter, he reckons he can record an album in a day. I am astonished that such accomplished music (Future Wreck, in particular) can be created in such a short timescale. The Concert - Headshock ----------------------- Paul Nagle, Tim Rafferty and John Hickey had some show to follow. Rather than compete with Arcane in the music stakes, they presented a different format and style that seemed to go down just as well with the audience (and the performers). This is the second time I've attended one of Paul Nagle's concerts, and the second time I haven't had any idea what the style or content would be. I have to state that this concert did not strike me as positively as the Far from Stars one a couple of years ago - I felt this was very patchy. The set opened with some haunting cello effects and moved into the first of a number of head-banging sequences that liberally splattered the whole set. Paul Nagle subsequently confided to us that they had started the set with no rules except No Mellotron Washes! For me, Paul's a master knob twiddler and the morphing sequences he created were one of the highlights of the set. Not being a muso, I'm not sure what it is that distinguishes these sequences from those produced by the likes of RMI and AirSculpture, but I'd never really compare these to 70s TD. The pattern of the first piece was pretty much abstract-sequence-abstract-sequence, etc. Sometimes there was a melody to follow, other times it was simply a case of being hypnotised by the sequence. At times, you could just about hear Tim's guitar, but he needs to be more confident about letting the audience hear what he's trying to do. The first piece lasted about half-an-hour, and struck me as the better of the two long parts. It seemed more structured and concentrated on the sequences. The second piece seemed more free-form and contained long sections of ambience and noise. As I discussed with Paul afterwards, I like my concerts to be accessible where the music is new. Experimentation and innovation is for the studio/album where I can take a number of listens to get into the music. Having said this, I must say that my favourite part of the whole set was John Hickey's lovely piano solo in the middle of the second piece. A long, detailed piece of work that started in one 'phase' and acted as the bridge to another. It was very unfortunate that the only thing to go obviously wrong should be during a quiet, abstract section where Paul's Access Virus went rogue - blurting out a noise that shredded the nerves of those lulled by the quiet. However, with the consummate professionalism of a man well-used to live performances, Paul performed a quick 'reboot' in mid-piece (with Tim and John continuing around him) and the music continued with no break. The encore came from the 'leave them happy/reeling' philosophy - a short melodic 'dance' piece with a stomping beat and marginally too soft (IMO) lead line that had one individual commenting that it could be released as a dance single. An excellent close to a pretty good set. The Fall-out ------------ And so ended the second of SMD's four Jodrell Bank concerts this spring/summer. Once again, a brilliant night was had by all. In particular, I like the way that both concerts to date have featured something for everyone. The UtD set from March was similar to Arcane's, providing the more melodic accessible introduction to the night. The RMI set in March was similar to Paul Nagle's/Headshock's in that they were less accessible, featured less melody and more sequencing and were a little more 'difficult'. We now look forward to the middle of May (13th to be exact) when Kubbuschnitt join AirSculpture for a truly European night. If the standard's are maintained, it should be another great night. -------------------------------------------------------------- Craig R. J. Cordrey craig.cordrey@g... crjc@t...

After hearing the tapes from the 1987 Berlin concert, you will hear MOST of the tracks from Livemiles. All the Berlin side is there, including the very melodic (and quite beautiful) opening track, which does indeed open the 87 concert tape. One of the 'Albequerque' tracks is played at a much slower tempo on the 87 tape. The only track that was definitely different was 'Dolphin Dance', and the live version was basically an extended mix of the _Underwater Sunlight_ version (although it was quite nice). The order of play has been re-arranged a bit, but most of the tracks were played live. I suspect they are primarily studio versions of the same material, but I personally don't have a problem with that. Some studio bits sound better than their live counterparts. (Take for instance the whole sequencer section of Quichotte part 2.)

I just changed it per your !@%#$%^#$ request a couple of minutes ago. Either you are refering to the changed description or it will be even MORE clear now. I hope this helps people understand. The description was written long before Joe and I decided to make one list moderated and the other one *not* Both were formed as a result of the old tadream list shutting down. Joe chose to take a long step back into favor with TD and thus the list had to be moderated. I chose not to moderated my list because there are *some* topics that need to be discussed from time to time. If you know what I mean.

Quite a bit of sequencing here. More than any album I think since 220 volt probably. Nice to see them getting back to those wild sequences. Also, I think the mixing is much better than most of the late 90s TDI releases, where the music is at a constant maximum volume, even parts that are intended to be ambient and quieter. There's something to be said about the use of dynamics in music. It kind of kills that effect to have the mix at a constant volume.

Although I still think that a lot of the material on GWoC is recycled from early-90s stuff (not that there's anything wrong with that in itself, especially considering that I prefer the re-worked implementation of those bits in GWoC), I like the sequencing quite a lot. Tracks like 'Stranded without Shade' seem traditional and innovative at the same time with regard to their sequencing. > Also, I > think the mixing is much better than most of the late 90s TDI releases, > where the music is at a constant maximum volume, even parts that are > intended to be ambient and quieter. > It is a good mix, but I would argue that the 'constant maximum' mix has been around for longer than that. I suspect they started doing that in the late 80s, when songs became much shorter, and required a more compressed sound for that reason - there is only so much in the way of dynamics you can squeeze into three minutes. > There's something to be said about the > use of dynamics in music.

I remember reading an interview with Klaus Schulze, in which he said that today's listeners are too habituated to hearing compressed sound on the radio and on TV, so that he feels like a bit of a rebel in not using this technique.

Somewhat experemental track as regards timing is concerned but I guess thats just the guys playing around with the new software. Doesn't really achieve anything in my view. Ed and Paul still seem to be getting to grips with both the software and the absence of Chris. 2) Atlas Eyes One of my favorites, some nice sound design and just about the right length. Sounds more like something off Melrose. Simple but effective, not too much to say about this one. 3) Mothers Of Rain Probably the best known track on the album as I gather it was played in concert some time before it was finally recorded for this album. Lovely melodies, gentle progression, must be considered one of the classic tracks of the Private years. 4) Twin Soul Tribe Compositionally more vintage stuff here, to me it sounds more like Exit or White Eagle style, though the sequencing seems very mechanical with little soul (no pun intended) 5) Optical Race Hmmmm, cha cha cha. The type of music they broadcast on tv when there's a break in program transmissions, ridiculously upbeat. At 1.38 we get a change back to the style of Alchemy of the Heart, but alas only for a few seconds. 6) Cat Scan This always reminds me of the last track on Hollywood Years, the name of which escapes me right now. Very similar sequence. More interesting a minute or so in but nothing particlurly groundbreaking on the sequencing front. 7) Sun Gate My favorite track on the album. Good sound design, accomplished composition and the last time in my opinion a TD album had some guitar played with real feeling on it. Allegedly Haslingers audition piece and Edgar seems to like as it seems to appear on every compilation album that includes music from the Private era. 8) Turning of the Wheel A very slow and boring start, and doesn't develop much further at all. Does anybody out there like this one? 9) The Midnight Trail Another one of my favorites from the era, very downcast and somber. However after a couple of minutes we have a little prozac at the end of the tunnel. Nicely balanced emotions in this track IMO. 10) Ghazal A nice tune but again seems way to mechanical, would have been better played with some feeling. Overall, Optical Race, with the exception of 3 or 4 tracks I could live without it, but IMO when it is good, it is very good. Tom (Melrose) Replies Name/Email Yahoo!

When I first got OR, I couldn't get enough of it. Very nice use of 12-string guitar, and a very interesting beat which was unique for TD at the time. Also there's the switch back and forth from minor to major keys. It's sort of remindful of the mjor melody/minor countermelody theme of Ravel's 'Bolero', though much shorter and less complex. Still quite likeable. > 7) Sun Gate > > My favorite track on the album.

Don't know about everyone else, but I tend to associate td tracks with places I've been or things I've been involved with. Livemiles is no exception and it all came horribly back to me after listening to it again for the first time in ages a couple of nights ago. Livemiles was released at the time I was working with – I'd better not say – back in the uk. The company had this idea that it'd better start a management succession programme. The big thing about the programme was a three-week stint at a posh management development centre and a weekend of outward bounds or survival training-teamwork type-thing in the hills. So off I went on the programme with 20 others, armed with three weeks worth of supplies, my sony walkman and a barely-listened-to Livemiles tape. The weekend survival-training-teamwork thing sure turned out to be interesting. The course organisers told us was that we'd be split into four teams of five and the objective was to work as a team (sounded ominous already...) and over the weekend, find and decode a series of clues that would lead us to other clues, food, the next camp and hopefully, our destination. It didn't matter who won, but there would be a prize for the best team – and oh by the way – we'd all be discreetly videoed and the videos would be used by our company to help them sort out who would reach managerial stardom. With this motivation, we were trucked to the hills, split into our teams and put on our way. The video thing was possibly one of the most dismal ideas ever thought of. As everybody knew they were being watched, their behaviour became so ridiculous and exaggerated that previously normal folk suddenly acquired attitudes three jackboots to the right of fascism, trying to edge themselves forward as THE leader of the group to impress the company. Naturally, this meant that the dickhead of the group stomped his way in as the leader. I decided to stay well back from all this crappy artificial behaviour, keep a low profile, plug in the headphones, get to know Livemiles, start hiking and wait for the cock-ups to start. I wasn't disappointed. Our self-appointed leader stopped our team at one point (half-way thru' Livemiles 1 – the slow bit) and started looking at his map. He reckoned that, according to the previous clues, there should be another clue round about where we were, which was in the middle of a valley with a river running thru' it. We were all despatched to scout the area to find the sodding clue, when the leader started shouting that he'd found it. We all horsed it over to where he was, to find him beaming at the vid camera and pointing to a white sort of package under a bridge. Chuffed that he'd found the next clue, he went down to collect it, brought it back and opened it. I thought that it looked a bit odd to be a clue as it seemed to be no more than a pile of white tissue paper. And so our leader opened it - still beaming at the camera and thinking that a senior management position was in his pocket - to find a huge pile of shit oozing out of his `clue'! Turned out that a hill walker before us must have felt the urge to do the business. By now, Livemiles was really growing on me, but there was more crappy management decisions to come. A few hours later, we found ourselves in the same situation again - apparently in the right place, needing to find the next clue, but this time it really mattered as it lead to food. Undeterred by the shit incident, the leader led us into a huge field, absolutely certain that the clue had to be somewhere in it (Livemiles 1 again at this point – part 3). After looking around for ages, he shouts again and runs towards a wall at the bottom of the field. Once again, the team and the vid man get on the move and find him pointing at a long stick coming out of the ground, with another stick sort of attached to it with string. One of the team asks to have a go at digging to find the clue – and get a shot of the limelight – but the leader over- rules and says that since he found it, it was his to claim. And so with the camera rolling and the rest of us looking on thinking what a dickhead he was, he started digging. Five minutes later tho', he came to an abrupt halt, saying `Oh, er, um...' and, camera and all, we peered into the hole he'd dug to find, first, something kinda hairy and white with black patches on it and then on the second look, the decomposed body of a dog. I asked the boss if he reckoned this was lunch, but by this time he'd retired a few metres away and the vid was capturing him spewing his guts all over the place. Then the farmer arrived and the leader was left by the rest of us to explain why he'd decided to dig his dog out of it's grave (hence the two sticks – the horizontal stick of the cross had fallen down). By the third day I'd run out of batteries and I was dying to have another listen to Livemiles. The final obstacle that we'd to overcome was to canoe down a river and over a series of rapids to the finsh line. The canoes were a two-man effort and unfortunately, I was paired up with our team leader. Our dry clothes and things were put in a watertight container by him, jammed at his feet and down we headed on the river. Everything went fine until we got to the rapids, when the leader decides to make a bit of a show in front of the vid, which was positioned right in view of the rapids and the finish line. Not surprisingly, he got too cocky and despite me screaming at him to take easy, the canoe overturns and we go over the finish line upside down. After getting fished out, and getting a right old laughing at by everyone else, I collected the watertight container and opened it to find that everything in it was soaked. I then found the sony walkman, opened the door and out came a flood, a pile of sand and grit and a mangled Livemiles tape. By this time, I'd had enough of our leader. I found him talking to a few folk in front of the vid, bragging about how he'd had a great canoe down the river, so I tapped him on the shoulder and as he turned round, landed a right corker on him. Then a scrum started, a few got busted-up, and it all got caught on video for our bosses back at company HQ. In the post-weeekend review, I was asked what it was that had made me crack and wallop our group leader since it seemed to be totally contradictory to the personality test I'd had at the beginning of the course, which concluded I was a 'blue-ish green person'. Was it a knee-jerk reaction, personal stress, a transfer of aggression or an underlying but disturbing personality trait? The assessor was confused when I told him 'The dickhead mangled my Livemiles tape' That's my story and lasting impression of Livemiles. Any more stories of what a td track or lp reminds you of?

What a great story...thank god I'm only a lazy librarian! ~LOL~ I have fond memories of 'Destination Berlin' because I took this cassette along with me to Berlin in 1990 to watch the DFB-Pokal soccer/football finale (I guess in the UK it's called the FA cup). We drove with a bus from Hamburg to Berlin, about 30 people (you know, these calm and rational soccer fans who turn into mad-screaming monsters when your team is playing ;-) Next to me was sitting a quite beautiful young girl of about 19 or 20 years and I was more than lucky to have her beside me. When I played my 'Destination Berlin' tape (I guess I had chosen it because it was new at that time and because of the suitable title) she asked me about the music I was listening to. 'Tangerine Dream' I replied.....'Tangerine Who?' she asked..Well, nobody is perfect I said to myself and tried to behave like Mr. Nice Guy. And somehow it seemed to work... I still have some fond memories about the trip back home, especially the envious looks of some of my friends while I kissed her in the bus. Ah, sweet days of youth.

From: Nigbur D Date: Tue May 2, 2000 12:25 pm Subject: [tadream] D:Studio [Optical Race] =MARAKESH= As far as the - admittedly - fairly bland sounds and melodies on the album go, this is quite nice. I like the slow intro to the track, gradually introducing some of the ingredients that characterise this album (while also recurring in subsequent releases with notorious regularity): the familiar acoustic guitar/harpsichord sound plays a nice flowing melody, a rather harsh-sounding synth lead voice supplies some interjections, the tempo is changed quite often, and frequently without transition (I tend to regard this as a compositional experiment rather than a lack of subtlety - I quite like it). The melody appears a bit oriental. Not a bad start. 4AS doesn't seem to be too high. =ATLAS EYES= Seems like a logical continuation in the spirit of the opening track, even more energetic and insistent, with some rather eccentric rhythms. If TD were criticised in the 70s for over-using atmospheric whoooshes and warbles, the critics would be pleased to see that none of that is left here. Every single layer of sound is tightly bound to the melody and rhythm of the song, making it appear very stripped-down. Some people like it, some don't. I think it loses some of its appeal after repeated playing. 3AS. =MOTHERS OF RAIN= The frantic pace of 'Atlas Eyes' slows down again with this comparatively mellow track. Tom said that this was played on stage way before it was released on the album. This makes sense, since the style of composition on this track appears quite traditional. Extremely nice, although maybe not quite in tune with the rest of the album in terms of style. 4AS. =TWIN SOUL TRIBE= Enough has been said about this on many occasions. An improvisation for two synth voices on the motif of 'Ferry 'cross the Mersey', or at least it seems that way. Personally, I find it quite boring - 1AS. =OPTICAL RACE= This is the most dire little ditty ever perpetrated by our favourite band, and they should have known better. The only thing I like about this is the champagne-cork sound, for comical effect. With 1AS, I still feel generous. =CAT SCAN= It pays off not to give up on this album to soon. The sound is still very stripped down and the sequencing very tightly controlled (some may say mechanical), but the rhythms and melodies are actually quite creative. I get the impression that this is composed on the basis of the same system as Marrakesh - it sounds different, but has all the same ingredients in it, including the harsh sounds, samples, quick changes in tempo and rhythm, and some oriental-sounding effects. I still really like it to this day. A good 3AS. =SUN GATE= This track is the essence of the album, and would doubtlessly be a TD evergreen if the album as a whole had not been so extensively slated from all quarters (even though Paul Haslinger apparently claims it was the biggest-selling TD album in America). All the good things that could be glimpsed in some of the previous tracks are here too, and they are added to by the input of the guitar, some nice atmospheric bits, and a memorable melody. This song is breathtaking, and equally rewarding whether played loud or on low volume. 5AS here. =TURNING OFF THE WHEEL= I get the impression that this composition has revisited the scene in many guises since...I get the impression throughout that this really wants to be a bridge in the middle of a more extensive movement. For that purpose, it would be fantastic, but it stands up less well as a piece in its own right. 2AS. =THE MIDNIGHT TRAIL= If 'Mothers of Rain' departed from the generic spirit of the album by appearing traditional, this one stands out by seeming like a prelude to things to come in Melrose. It would have fitted in anywhere on the Melrose album with ease (and maybe to good effect). I'm not a big friend of Melrose, maybe because this piece and bits on 'Lily on the Beach' are very satisfying incarnations of the Melrose style already. I'll give it 4AS. =GHAZAL: LOVE SONG= Although the attempt to include some romance at the end of an otherwise fairly modern-sounding album was revisited with 'Cool at Heart' on Melrose, this remains - for me - the most moving and well-executed example of such an undertaking. The more quiet and mellow mood and the acoustic guitar blend in surprisingly well with the stripped-down approach (yes, I know I'm repeating myself, but I can find no better expression for it) of the album. It is a compositional feat to end the album on a mellow and deeply moving, but still upbeat note. A good 4AS, only because the 5AS spot is firmly claimed by Sun Gate. Overall, I think I agree with Tom in that this is not a bad album with the exception of some individual unfortunate inclusions. Had they been omitted, I think this album would be at least as good as 'Lily on the Beach' and 'Melrose'. Despite the more structured compositional approach, this album still has a lot of atmosphere to it, the various oriental tidbits making it ideal to listen to on a hot summer's day in an upbeat mood. Definitely no 'space music', though. Dennis Replies Name/Email Yahoo!

Geez... can't a band ever have *fun*? - jim From: Heiko Heerssen Date: Tue May 2, 2000 1:22 pm Subject: D:[Studio] Optical race After having read two or three reviews of 'Optical race' it's good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks that 'Sun Gate' (the only composition by Ralf Wadephul) is the best track on that album. After getting 'Tyger' and 'Shy people' I was a bit worried about the musical direction my fave band had taken, but I was very pleased with 'Optical race' and after almost 12 years I still am. 'Mothers of rain' (which has been used the first time on TD's UK Tour in March 1986 as an encore)....this is one of my favourite TD tracks ever. I just love the way the drums are setting in halfway through the song, very powerful. I have to agree that the title track isn't very demanding and a bit too commercial. Maybe it was composed as a jingle for the 1988 North American tour, something catchy that should introduce TD to the American and Canadian audiences and which should grab the listener's attention (TD gave lots of radio interviews on their 1988 tour)...The longer I think about the 'Optical race' album as a whole I believe that this was TD's best effort for quite a while (not counting 'Melrose' which also is an excellent album). After Haslinger left the band TD's sound became much too commercial and exchangeable (Rockoon, 220 Volt live) and I lost interest in my fave group. This is not to say that I don't like albums like Rockoon, Turn of the Tides or Tyranny of Beauty. But (IMHO) they couldn't match the standard of older albums in terms of musical quality and compositorial strength. It wasn't until 'Oasis' was released that I re-discovered TD's great music again and I'm quite happy with most of the recent releases (not counting Sohoman & Soundmill Navigator, of course ;-) Heiko Replies Name/Email Yahoo!

No positive or negative energy to speak of. I consider this a very weak track. It doesn't accomplish anything or impart any new ideas on the listener. Sequence from 6:45 to 7:15 was recycled ad nauseum in several other tracks. 2) Atlas Eyes Well, it's up-tempo and repetitive. Here's where we started the obsession with that 'Vocal' button on the keyboards. 3) Mothers Of Rain I know almost everyone loves this track. It's a slow Le Parc-like track, which picks up some rhythm at 2:00. A really good track, except of course that it doesn't evolve at all from 2:30 to the end. Overall too slow for me. 4) Twin Soul Tribe I swear I've heard this before. It's like game show suspense music when they are waiting for your answer. 5) Optical Race BLAHHHHHH! Oh my god. This sounds like one of those little demos that those $100 Casio keyboards have built-in. TD has thousands of dollars of equipment in their closet screaming 'use me!' but instead they put this out. 6) Cat Scan Optical Race did not abandon their pre-1987 style piecemeal, they did it one fell swoop. This track is not bad but it's hard to believe it is Tangerine Dream on first listen. Sounds more like a slowed-down promotional piece for an infomercial or soundtrack for a late 80's B movie. Arrrgh! Cheeseriffic at 2:45-3:00. 7) Sun Gate I have to say that this is the best track on the CD. The electric guitar helps out a LOT. Still, it marks the beginning of TD's decade long love affair with self-contained 5 minute 'songs'. 8) Turning off the Wheel Starts out pretty good, but TD has forgotten what makes a good sequence. Then it slowly gets more commercialized. The drums here don't contribute except to remind us that the old TD door was slammed shut after Livemiles. It is really the interleaving sequence lines here that help. One bass note is being hit over and over for 2 minutes, what's that all about? What happened to 2-12 note arpeggiators? 9) The Midnight Trail This track starts out with decent sequencing, although it's much weaker than we're used to. Then at 1:55, it breaks into what eventually was recycled for part of the Miracle Mile soundtrack. It's cheesy overly-melodic and over-percussioned upbeat stuff. Just to confuse us more, at 3:31, we completely change direction again, into a slow bridge-like piece that, were this still early 80's TD, would signify that we have left one musical idea and are waiting for the band to load up their instrument sounds and patches for the next song. Instead, this mellow bit plays for about 3 minutes and then fades out. I don't see this track as any more than an experiment in short-form pop music. 10) Ghazal (Love Song) Arrrrgh! Rescue me from Doogie Howser! Sequence is not terrible (and was recycled in other songs--which tends to happen when you try to crank out 4 releases a year), but the patch sounds like a $100 keyboard. Then we are shocked into a different piece with no warning or bridge at 2:25. With 7 different instrument sounds being added simultaneously. So we have completely broken all the rules of TD composing at this point. Around 4:00, the piece mellows back to what we started with and fades out inexplicably. -Morgan ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Replies Name/Email Yahoo!

This my favorite part of the album, and one of the most beautiful moments in TD history. Boy, you really have this problem with so-called cheesy TD music -- as if Force Majeure, Tangram, White Eagle, Le Parc, etc., etc. aren't FULL of cheesiness, if you want to put it that way. HA! Man, I gotta tell you -- the beginning of Force Majeure has got to be one of the CHEESIEST things TD has EVER done!!!

I don't claim Optical Race is overall a brilliant album.

At the very least, Optical Race beats the living daylights out of a few other TD albums I could name (and they AREN'T from the 90's). Welcome to TD's post-Franke era. Come on in, the water's fine!

My first time listening to TD was a brief bit from Force Majeur (the 'rock' section, starting about 3:30 into the track). I had gone to a party at a guy's room in my dorm at college. I was the first to arrive (this was probably my first REAL party, since I'd never really been invited to anything like this during high school). Richard (the guy hosting) was making 'hunch punch' which looked very interesting. Owen (his friend, whom I'd met briefly the day before) showed up with a bottle of Everclear (95% pure grain alcohol - this stuff is as strong as it gets! - no flavor, just BURN) and his walkman with Force Majeur. After adding a VERY generous quantity of Everclear to the hunch punch, Richard breaks out some shots for us to 'slam'. Understand that I could practically drink all but the HOTTEST hot sauces at the time, so I wasn't expecting this to be any worse. So we slammed a few half-shots of Everclear. Let me tell you, it makes your throat feel like you've been screaming in a loud auditorium all day. But I did it anyway, and without tears. (Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth...) Anyway, afterwards Owen hands me the walkman and says: 'listen to this, it's cool'. So TD music touches my ears the first time. WOW! It wasn't even the booze making it sound cool either. Later that evening I met the woman who would become my wife. (Of course I had my head in her roomate's lap at the time, but that's another story... Needless to say, it took awhile before she decided I wasn't a complete scum) The other story was in a different guy's room. Three or four of the Society of Creative Anachronism members were hanging out there and I joined them. After a little while, Tony (owner of the room) put Stratosfear on his record player. 'Wow' I thought. This is really cool stuff! He showed me the album cover and I was entranced (Love those Virgin years LP jackets!!!!). So anyway, I always think of Tony and the SCA guys when I hear that (now familiar) melody. Later that year, a guy across the hall from me loaned me 6 cassettes of TD: Stratosfear, Rubycon, Ricochet, Cyclone, Tangram, and Force Majeur. I've been avidly collecting ever since.

Personally, I think it's a very good album. I might be biased since it was the first one I bought! I just like how some folks say TD started going 'commercial' with this album. When I first got it 10 years ago, I was fed up with the pop music scene. All that crap they were churning out on the radio was driving me nuts. There was some that I liked, but not much. When I was first exposed to TD through a friend who first bought the Legend soundtrack and then OR, I was transformed forever! I had heard electronic music before, mainly with Wendy Carlos' Tron soundtrack, which I still absolutely love, and eagerly await its issue onto CD. But after I first heard TD, my tastes in music really started to expand, like my mind was opening up more. TD was my escape from pop music. Today, I'm listening to stuff I would have never thought I would 10 years ago. I am proud that my roomate says I listen to strange music! :-) I just don't think that TD ever really got *that* commercial. Okay, they've come kinda close a couple of times, but I've never heard them on the pop radio, or seen them on MTV(music-less television). Have you? Anyway, I really like OR, even though it's sounding kinda dated. Mothers of Rain has got to be a TD classic, up there with the likes of Song of the Whale Pt2, Hyperborea, Cloudburst Flight, Ricochet Pt2, etc... I never tire of hearing this song. I also like Cat Scan, maybe because it shares some of the same chord progression as MoR. Sun Gate is also another of my favorites. Despite what most people think, I like Turning Off the Wheel. It reminds me of driving down a very long, straight road, where the scenery is constantly changing around it. I don't know where my destination is, but I turn off at the end of the song, and I'm where I wanted to go. I also like Ghazal very much, even though it has a more predictable chord progression. The sound and feeling is very nice; sweet, but not so sweet to make your teeth rot. It must have about the second longest fade-out in recorded music. (second only to Hey Jude, as far as I know) I also enjoy listening to the Spherical Harmonics CDs, they had some good live variations of the already-released material. And the unreleased stuff after the Logos part is just awesome! Dave B. Replies Name/Email Yahoo!
