OPTICAL RACE

One of the least exciting Tangerine Dream album's I've actually subjected my ears to listening all the way through. It seems to me that a common theme arises in Tangerine Dream's albums after this point, in that their albums only contain one or two really good tracks with the remainder of them being throwaways. Of course that's a bit of a rash generalization, but it holds true for many of their albums during the late 80s and beyond.

The only truly interesting track on this album is the track "Mothers of Rain", which was and still remains one of my favorite Tangerine Dream tracks. Beyond that, there's a couple of somewhat interesting moments throughout the course of the album, but it's so scarce that I didn't know why I even bothered listening to the whole thing on several different occasions.
