Seriously....when was the last time a TD album was this good all the way through?
Imo, you'd have to go back nearly 30 years....to FORCE MAJEURE, EXIT, TANGRAM, LOGOS....which coincides precisely with the last times TD ever made it into the top 100 of the UK album charts.
The opening textures and the whole impact of SENSING ELEMENTS makes my hair stand on end. The sheer joy and gorgeous melody / lead line of IT'S TIME TO LEAVE makes me want to break into applause. The compelling GRANULAR BLANKETS harks back to the best of the F/F/S concert days.
The sound design on this album is superb, and the compositional strength is unlike anything we've heard for an absolute age.
No disrespect to Jerome - much of whose solo work I really like - but many, many times from about 1990 > 2005 I was on the point on giving up on TD, and it was only the addition of Thorsten Quaeschning that kept my faith. Now, with Ulrich Schanuss too, they again have my undivided attention.
Welcome back Tangerine Dream.
Here's the post from their new label K-Scope, who helped propel Steven Wilson to the majors:
