Tangerine Dream

I have the full version of Quinoa on the Mystery Tracks bootleg. OK track, it sounds like Rockoon or 220 Volt Live without the guitars. Yeah, "Two Bunch Palms" is one of my favorite TD songs. I love the composition with and without the guitars. I also have the shortened version of "Q...

Well, I guess I finally made peace with my botched 2009 copy of Mars Polaris . It's kinda interesting to hear those songs mixed together with a bunch from Great Wall Of China , although the absence of Jerome's tracks couldn't be more obvious. Besides the dodgy running order, I still find the CD enjo...

After getting the 2-CD Relativity copy of Poland at a reasonable price several months ago, I'll politely pass on this deal. Bonus content would be a little interesting, but then, it'd have to be ultra special. Otherwise, I'm fine with my copy and its sound quality. As for Zeit , I don't even own the...

I consider Melrose a rather odd album. For me, there's something desolate-sounding about the tracks in general that wasn't present in previous or later albums. Maybe it's the songwriting, the instrumentation, the production, etc. Strangely enough, my two favorites are 'Three Bikes In The Sky' and 'C...

To be honest, I'm not really fond of the vocal sfx on Views From A Red Train . I can live with 'em, but they actually leave me pining for Steve Jolliffe's singing on Cyclone . I can smell the death threats already. To date, I'm not aware of any truly "worst" tracks. But one incredibly disa...

I'm quite familiar with the history behind the original mix-up, but I still don't understand how/why this alternate version made it onto my 2009 copy. Even if they intended to release it this way (and I wouldn't know why, what with Mars Mission Counter being released two years prior), you'd think th...

I bought my copy of Mars Polaris from Ebay sometime ago; it was the 2009 re-release version, to be exact. However, to my surprise, it actually plays the alternate version ( Mars Polaris - Original Motion Picture Space Reality ). They didn't repeat the pressing error on the 2009 version, did they? Bo...

Does anyone own one of the re-released CDs? Are all the tracks remixed to a better quality (especially Track 3)? I'm very tempted to buy the newer version but first I want to make sure these sound issues were corrected. I think the flaws were rather telling on the original CD. Most of the instrument...

1. Towards the Evening Star is great, and i can tell why it ended up on future releases. i really thought i was gonna enjoy this whole album from that point. That would describe my feelings toward 'Tangram Set 1.' Back when TD was completely alien to me, I heard the first 3 1/2 minutes of this trac...

I can hardly believe it. I'm not sure how he could have gotten the parts (and the tone!) perfect in one shot, since even ZP couldn't do that 100% of the time. My ears hear no variations whatsoever (unless I happened upon a false recording). I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

@r4man Thanks for the info. It conformed my suspicions that Voices In The Net was incorrect about TD playing 'Birdwatcher's Dream' at the 1995 gig. I knew I was clearly hearing 'Living In A Fountain Pen'! @24db Alright, I listened to snippets of the 1995 show again, and what you said may well be tru...

A big part of my obsession with TD is the guitarwork. Upon hearing 'Two Bunch Palms' and 'Purple Haze' several years ago, I was immediately hooked. That said, Zlatko's playing has been very inspirational to me. I spent years playing folk-pop acoustic guitar, but ZP's work in TD has motivated me to t...

After a long wait, my copy of the 2-CD version arrived in time for Christmas. It's truly a shame how rare and pricey this edition has become. That said, I was quite pleased with the concert album. The percussion at the beginning of 'Poland' reminded me of the dance rhythms Jerome eventually introduc...

Waldorf have recently released the PPG3.v VST which I have had as a Chrissy present. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but look forward to exploring it and recognising sounds. I have that VST too, but I haven't figured out how to use it properly. I'd love to create some amazing sounds with...

I won an auction for the 2-CD version on Ebay, but it's been 3 or 4 weeks and it hasn't arrived from the UK. The seller's been writing back and now he isn't sounding very honest. So I'm pretty upset about this.
