Its quite easy to write about your favourite records, but in the case of TD, I can easily write over and over...so I will


The odd thing about many TD and TD solo albums, especially from the classic era, is that they are strange, very strange: from the marvellous cover artwork, whether by edgar or monique to the extremely (and it is, there is no argument on this) outre music, that now in 2008 is by turns modern yet archaic, familiar yet beautifully new on each listening. Addictive is the quality I mean.

Y(E)IMP is such an album, from the evocative cover art, associative track titles and the music, oh, the music. Originally those years ago, I found the music too calm and meditative, as a very young man my feelings leant towards more challenging and weird music, EIMP sounded distant and almost seditative in its soundscape - I wanted, I think another Phaedra or Atem. But once I listened again and again and I got it, which was around the late 70's, EIMP became the companion to many great dreams and adventures, and now I visit the LP often and hear the dreams anew. Which, actually is what all great TD music does for me: its a personal friend that travels with you from the minute one listens, allowing deep pleasure and awe.

The three total Froeseian albums: AQUA, EIMP and Macular are in my humble opinon amongst the finest music ever made. (er, along with my other opinionated favourites from TD/EF)

Tangerine Dream music is not surrealist music, it is realist, alchemical and mystical and also a hell of a load of fun.

see you all later for a repeat repeat posting

Well most fans seem to think Stuntman is his best album at the moment, if you go by Andy`s poll anyway.

true, to be totally honest I don`t listen to his solo albums that often, the older material anyway but I find it hard to pick.

I still love the cover. I remember buying my vinyl copy and the usually dour shop assistant made a complementary comment on the artwork.

Still love it, despite its simplicity. That's what gives it its charm - and no tweaking with it for me, the original is fine for me thanks :D
