TANGS in the Guardian top 1000

[bigmoog]

from todays listing in the Guardian's top 1000 album listing


Tangerine Dream
Phaedra (1974)
This marked the point at which the Krautrock phenomenon went mainstream. Tangerine Dream had travelled from avant-garde beginnings to chart success with Phaedra. With its electronic soundscape of sequencers and synths, Phaedra is one of the most seductive ambient albums, and a precursor to techno and its offshoots.

The Guardian is an awfull pretentious rag, but its nice to hear Phaedra getting some reconistion. It is certainly my fave of the early albums by TD

hopefully 76:14 makes the list

from the 'G' section


Global Communication
76:14 (1994)
The West Country duo Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard shunned song titles, lest they colour the listener's response. This unfathomably beautiful out-of-time masterpiece, informed equally by Brian Eno, David Sylvian, Detroit techno and the Cocteau Twins, could be a soundtrack to anything or nothing. Two awestruck fans, Pete and Katrina Lawrence, were inspired to found the Big Chill.

Nice to see Ulrich here:

Ulrich Schnauss
A Strangely Isolated Place (2003)
Berlin-based Schnauss almost sparked a shoegazing revival with his second album. He used to record as Ethereal 77, which sums him up: his widescreen music is lush and atmospheric; each track boasts a bunch of intertwining melodies. It's a consistently uplifting wall of sound.

A spot on description of a wonderful album IMHO

Nice one...bit of an obvious choice though...I wonder which rock journal they plundered?

yep, the premise according to the guardian, was to list 1000 albums...not necessarily the best or most obvious....
