Tangerine Dream Plays Tangerine Dream
01. Southpole Crossing (performed by Paul haslinger) from the Mandala video (no description needed really as it's been playing on TD's webpage for the last year, if you haven't heard it by now I'd check your speakers!)
02. Logos Blue (Performed by Ralf Wadephul) This version was used on the Three Phase video, although I'm not sure it's ever been released on a CD before (I'd have to check and see if it's on Tangents). It could even be a different mix
03. Alchemy Of The Heart II (performed Paul Haslinger & Edgar Froese) a stripped down version, without Chris Franke's sequencing perhaps? An interesting alternative version with some modern? percussion sounds
04. Beach Theme (performed by Zlatco Perica) Not bad I guess, although I'm not sure what to make of it
05. Phaedra 2005 (performed by Edgar Froese)....seems to be yet another version of this track, live perhaps? with some extra melodies and the phased drum loops sound different to my ears, the track has a fairly long 'extended' ending
06. Desert T. Dream (performed by Thorsten Quaeschning) sounds like the version TD perfomed at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in 2005, a different mix to the version on Tangents, in fact it's very good
07. Convention Of The 24 (performed by Edgar Froese) A remixed/re-recorded and 'much' faster version of the track on White Eagle.
08. The Blue Bridge (performed by Thorsten Quaeshning) a completely different recording from Thorsten, with a subtle new sequence. Linda is given more rein to play an extended version on sax, with added echo and some much puncher drums. Like it a lot
09. Ride On A Ray (performed by Edgar Froese) A completely different version, with Edgar kicking in at the start with extra keyboards, creating a more punchier and dynamic piece. Just when you expect the old guitar licks, Edgar rips in with a new version of his guitar solo. I've never been a huge fan of the original so, for me, this is much better. Excellent stuff....as Jerome might say 'two thumbs'
10. Logos Velvet (performed by Thorsten Quaeshning) A whole new version of this classic track (it's been completely re-recorded). I'm not 100% but there even might be some real flute half way through. Great stuff, with some punchy 'live' drums.
11. Challengers Arrival (performed by Edgar Froese) From the Keep soundtrack obviously, but this is a different version, but with Edgar's great guitar solo intact (phew! although it might have been re-recorded) over a huge swirling chord.
12. Sphinx Red Lightning (performed by Edgar Froese) a new version with an odd sampled voice sequence. The beginning of the track now has a more ominious feel, leading into the usual powerful chords, but things have been given a make over, with a more funky mid-section (works quite well actually). Great stuff, and 'shock horror' I prefer it to the original
******this version in now on the jukebox on this site******
13. Pergamon Sphere (performed by Johannes Schmoelling) sounds like the version on Tangents to me, still a great track though
14. Loved By The Sun (performed by Thorsten Quaeschning) This is version that was played at the Tempodrom, ie a completely different 're-recorded' version of the track used on the Legend soundtrack. Good stuff...short but sweet.

Odd that Johannes is 'uncertain' about his own abilities on the piano, when he's obviously brilliant
