I bought the CD box sets The Virgin Years (70's-80's). And I've got a more recent album as well.

 2010: Zeitgeist Concert: Live at the Royal Albert Hall, London - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lPT8EN2bNNdsuExqq6fa6zFe6zHIFHdO4Tangerine Dream's 36th Live album and their 143rd album overall. The Zeitgeist concert marks the 35th anniversary of the first time Tangerine Dream played the Royal Albert Hall in 1975. This magnificent audio recording features 33 tracks spread over 3-CD's, which is well-worth buying just for the dramatic reworking of Rubycon alone. The concert opens with a beautiful piano solo from Linda Spa, which is rudely interrupted by Edgar Froese slamming the piano lid down, apparently.

I believe Tangerine Dream were responsible for creating the pulsating rhythm in Electronic Music that most people borrowed thereafter. It seemed to start with Phadrea, but one of the first indicators is found on "Circulation Of Events" from Atem.
Of course there were already other people doing this. Terry Riley on Rainbow In Curved Air, Mort Garson Black Mass or the track "Leave The Driving To Us" from 69' , repeated later on Pink Floyd "On The Run"..but these particular pulsating sounds were far from sounding like Phadrea. It was this particular style of Tangerine Dream that influenced Electronic Music in the 80s and 90s. Neuronium in the early 80s were heavily influenced by Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream. In Mexico during the 90s a lot of interesting Electronic Music was being recorded and released. Jose Luis Fernandez Ledesma, Alquimia, Jorge Reyes, Carlos Alverdo and others had played in Progressive Rock bands in the 70s and were releasing Electronic Music. Tangerine Dream were a huge influence on them . Redshift and Free System Projeck in Germany and all through Europe during the 80s and 90s were totally influenced by T.D. Robert Schroeder, Software, were candidates for producing Schulze and T.D. style music. |

Tangerine Dream are assuredly the progenitors of the familiar "Berlin school" sound, predated by "kosmische Musik" (the German equivalent of space rock), a classification coined by none other than Edgar Froese. Kosmische Musik was also the title, appropriately enough, of a famous 2LP compilation issued by TD's first label Ohr that featured them, Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze (who at different times was a member of both TD/ART), and Popol Vuh. (TD's "Journey from a Burning Brain" from their debut Electronic Meditation had appeared on Ohr's earlier krautrock sampler Ohrenschmaus.)
It was hard for any electronic musician then to not be influenced by TD. Two exceptions I can think of are Roger Powell, with his outstanding all-ARP technology-enabled pre-Utopia album Cosmic Furnace, and Synergy (Larry Fast). Neuronium's early material is excellent, particularly their 1980 effort Digital Dream.

2010: Zeitgeist: Live in Lisbon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thpd59FmvAE Tangerine Dream's 37th Live album and their 144th album overall. This is the longest Tangerine Dream concert you're ever likely to hear, running at over three hours long, so plenty of time to dwell on the Zeitgeist of Tangerine Dream's greatest ever epoch: 2005-2014. |

2010: Under Cover - Chapter One - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kPAKQ8QRQr5FDQVsj_YezjN_8Z7dPwrIk Tangerine Dream's 145th album. As you may have guessed from the title, this is an album of cover versions - which Tangerine Dream describe as their "impossible project" - and very good it is too, with Chris Hausl returning on vocals again, following his initial outing with Tangerine Dream on their 100th album: Madcap's Flaming Duty back in 2007, which already seems like a long time ago, bearing in mind how many albums Tangerine Dream have released since then.  Precious - a Depeche Mode cover and a tribute to Linda Spa, possibly.  Edited by Psychedelic Paul - March 09 2023 at 06:37 |

Hi, I can only hope that Linda Spa comes back to the music world. I do think that she added a bit more to TD than she is given credit for, and in the end, it looks like she was dumped ... or at least the emotional hurt was beyond a lot ... specially when one gives up over 15 years of their life and love and work, for a band that obviously meant a lot to her!

^ You're right. The Linda Spa years were Tangerine Dream's best years for me, and we can only hope that she returns to the music world with the long-awaited solo album she's rumoured to be working on.

Linda wasn't "dumped," she simply chooses not to be in a version of Tangerine Dream that lacks Edgar.

2011: The Angel of the West Window - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nucCrEQgvEBjP5TpkTE0f8LqZ9F42_wJE Tangerine Dream's 147th album. The second of four albums in the "Sonic Poems" series, The Angel of the West Window is based on a novel by Gustav Meyrink - Germany's answer to Edgar Allan Poe. The music is dark, brooding and menacing (like a score from an imaginary horror movie), so it's best to pull the bedcovers up tight and be sure to secure all of the doors and windows before going to bed tonight.  |

2011: Mona Da Vinci - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8wjVNuT7QPJ25ksG5rsuczG6zRTsmQeG Tangerine Dream's 148th album. Listed as an "EP" on Tangerine Dream's official website, this "CupDisc" album is 42 minutes long, so that should be enough to make any TD fan smile if Mona Da Vinci is priced as an EP. |

2011: Finnegans Wake - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l3HCcG8SkJE9-4SI0cBi5_Quq-tpTPJD0 Tangerine Dream's 149th album. Finnegans Wake is the third of four albums in the "Sonic Poems" series, based on a novel by Irish author James Joyce - a book which everyone knows but hardly anyone has read, bearing in mind it's notorious for being one of the most difficult works of fiction in Western literature, when reading Tolstoy's epic War and Peace would seem like a doddle by comparison. Thankfully, Tangerine Dream's album is far more approachable than the book. Edited by Psychedelic Paul - March 16 2023 at 12:35 |

^ I regard that as one of their best later albums. They do admittedly go very 'retro' at times but that's probably why I like it. A bit of the old and a bit of the new style mixed together.

Hi, There are some things that I have read that were "difficult", but most of them were around the time when my English was really poor ... to the point that a professor at UCSB once told me that he wished my English was better so I could express myself better. It still took 5 to 6 more years before I got more comfortable and that was when I started writing full time. To me, and this may sound weird to some, nothing is difficult or has a hidden meaning, or simply a "nothing" that makes us think that there is something there ... reminds me of The Bardo (Tibetan) where there are "several doors" between levels, or areas, and you have to pass through them ... when in reality, the minute you pass through a door of perception (psychic stuff!) the first thing you say is ... are you ready? ... I could have done that before! Which tells you that it was the thinking mind that created the "door" ... or better stated, there was no door! ... and we all can sit down and have some lunch over it, as don Juan would say! The same goes for music, and the arts ... and it's one of the reasons why tomatoes and potatoes does not turn me on even if it were done by Van Gogh or Da Vinci! And Warhol is the ultimate "nothing" for me! a different color for dearest Marylin ... wow ... you could have done that when you were 5 years old and laugh at mom for it!
