DAYDREAM & MOORLANDTangerine DreamProgressive Electronic |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
After "Das Mädchen auf der Treppe", TANGERINE DREAM was asked to provide another compositions for an
episode of the german TV series "Tatort". The two proposed tracks were new and did not appear on
other official TD release."Daydream" is a slow, melancholic sequenced tune. Listenable, but not transcendent and a bit repetitive. "Moorland" displays a more convincing, dreamy and sweet atmosphere. It has some reminiscences of the track "White Eagle". A remixed version is now available in the "Antique Dreams" compilation. On the contrary, "Daydream" has not been officially re-released or remixed.
Not as inspired and successful as "Das Mädchen auf der Treppe", this EP is only for 80's TD hardcore fans.
This is the second single Tangerine Dream managed to spin out of their work contributing soundtrack music to a
couple of episodes of the legendary long-running German police procedural Tatort. These two tracks came from the
episode Miriam, and having never seen it I have no idea how appropriate they are to the action, but they're fairly
standard mid-1980s Tangerine Dream soundtrack bits. The quasi-orchestral style backed by mysterious vocoder lyrics
on Daydream reminds me of a more stately, baroque take on some of the group's work on The Keep, Moorland,
appropriately enough, is spookier and more foreboding.Not really worth tracking down on its own, I'd say - but the tracks are available as bonuses on the Pilots of Purple Twilight collection, so if you were already considering picking that boxed set up they're worth a listen and their presence certainly sweetens the deal a bit (but if you were on the fence about getting it, I don't think these are the tracks to make you say "hell with it, I'm putting my money down").
