Phaedra is a very special album for me.  Rubycon is great too but not on the level of Phaedra.

Rubycon. It's just that I like it more because Ricochet (still my favourite) was my first TD album and Rubycon is a bit more simuilar to Ricochet.
My favourite TD era starts with Rubycon and ends with Cyclone.

Those are the two TD albums from the '70s that sound the most similar. However, Rubycon has more keyboards and some things not on Phaedra (like backwards guitar for example). Phaedra sounds like improvisations (albeit good ones), while Rubycon sounds like it was designed to be a 2-part album. Beginning with Rubycon the studio music of TD starts to become more composed and less improvised, but they still continued to improvise in concert.

Hi again! Wondering which of these albums by Tangerine Dream to listen to so I made this poll! Smile I have listened to each album here but only a couple of times, and it's been aaaages since then. 

I noticed they were quite close together judging by the ratings on PA (Rubycon just taking the lead), but other websites/lists/etc. show them equally being as good as each other in the big picture. Please vote for one of the options and, if possible, comment on why you chose it. Also, I'd like to know if you hear any big differences on the two albums or are they pretty much the same sort of electronic stuff. 

As always, thanks for any feedback Big smile
