Re: NEW EDGAR FROESE TRIBUTE ALBUM

Edgar actually always had a HUGE issue with people trying to make money off the name/brand of Tangerine Dream- a particular example being all those Silva Screen soundtracks that came out in the 90's which he had no hand in the quality control of. Well, even Edgar should know that the second you del...

Re: Worst TD tracks

Ummm...anything from Ambient Monkeys. And for me, those early pre-Phaedra albums; Atem, Electronic Meditation etc, are unlistenable :) Someone here said his wife referred to that TD period as "The Scary Years" and she was absolutely right . I had the "In The Beginning" LP box and...

Re: US TOUR POSTPONED UNTIL 2015

I had planned to see TD when they had their smaller, somewhat troubled US tour a few years back. It was my first real chance to see them live, given they had not played the US in years and had even those rare US dates were nowhere near me. Well, things happen and I didn't get to see any of those sho...

Re: What do you think / wish: is this the end of TD?

I am still shocked about the bad news from yesterday' s newsletter about Edgar. Maybe it is not yet the right time to think about it, but I thought last night about the future of TD. What do you think? Is this the end of Tangerine Dream? I think it would be great, if Ulrich and Thorsten would conti...

Re: The News About Edgar

Crushing news for those of us who love his music. I've been a TD fan since Logos...was a few years late to the party but I quickly caught up on their albums and from there I've followed TD and Edgar's solo work. Tangerine Dream has been one of my biggest musical obsessions. The music has inspired my...

Re: Mala Kunia

Overall this is a good album. There are a few tracks that seem to echo TD's 80's sound, but still for me, it suffers - to a degree - from the sameness that seems to wash over TD albums from the last few years. At times I can't tell Finnegan's Wake from Chandra or other Island Of The Fey or The Castl...

Re: CODENAME: THE SOLDIER - O.S.T. - A PLEA FOR RELEASE

A nice, reasonable, passionate request. It would indeed be a wonderful release to have on disc. But we can say the same thing for various unreleased or under-represented TD film scores. Legend has a paltry ( roughly ) 30 minutes on the old MCA album/ Varese CD, and the score is almost wall to wall. ...

Re: Tangerine Ambience I + II

I enjoyed most of the Tangerine Ambience albums, and really enjoyed the Perge albums. Perge does a tremendous job in recreating the feel of Tangerine Dream, but at some points the music, well, lets say it, borders on plagerism. I mean sometimes they copy a TD riff note for note, and when they're doi...

Re: The Soldier Soundtrack on EBAY Orange Records

A sham. Rip Off. There may be 2 tracks from the movie, the rest are all from TD albums. Hell the opening track is edited from Tangram. As mentioned above, tracks from albums released years after the movie have been edited and given soundtrack-friendly titles. There's even a track from one of the Dre...

Re: The Soldier Soundtrack on EBAY Orange Records

"Music from and inspired by" ?

Seems like a DVD rip and perhaps edited album tracks slapped with new track names.

It won't be anywhere worth what the bootlegger is charging :p

A legit release would be wonderful though !

Re: GTA V

This CD has grown on me more and more with each listen. One or two tracks aren't for me, but overall it is an excellent album. It would have been nice to have a double or triple album with more of the action based sequencer tracks, but what we have here is very good indeed. Strong, atmospheric stuff...

I own it on vinyl. The movie also very nice to see.
Can I also get in on mp3 ( download )? Nowadays I don't buy cd's anymore.

Kind regards..

The MP3 album has been available on Amazon and iTunes for a year or more. It isn't the new remaster however.

Re: Sorcerer 2014

The second CD is flat out brilliant. Although the sound is 2014 digital TD, Froese captures the vibe, the feel, of the original Sorcerer album perfectly. Excellent music, really. Get this however you want, physical CD ( which I'll probably get once it is available at a reasonable price from Amazon) ...
