No, I never got to see Tangerine Dream play Live, but I have seen a lot of electronica artists play Live in Derby, including:- Ed Alleyne Johnson; Andy Pickford; Bekki Williams; Robert Fox; David Wright: Paul Nagle; Paul Ward; Ian Boddy; Mark Shreeve; John Serrie; & John Dyson, to name just a few.  I had no idea that Derby was a hotbed of electronica.  Is that because of Delia?

 1991: Dead Solid Perfect (soundtrack, recorded in 1988) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nyr_kQhnfsAnyone for golf? No, me neither. It drives me to tears and I get teed off every time I see it on TV, but don't let that putt you off as there's nothing below par about the superb soundtrack. This is Tangerine Dream's 15th movie score and their 41st album overall (for anyone who's still  keeping count). We've travelled a fair-way already in "Untangling the Tangram" of Tangerine Dream's vast discography and this is one of their best soundtracks so far, recorded back in 1988 by the duo of Edgar Froese & Paul Haslinger.  The movie stars Randy Quaid, Kathryn Harrold & Jack Warner and follows the life of a professional golfer on the PGA tour, although you'd have much more fun watching Caddyshack to be honest.

Are we nearly there yet? ..... Yes, we're on the Fast-track with Synergy before getting back on track with Tangerine Dream..... American-born Larry Fast is the man behind the sound of Synergy, having composed and performed all of the music himself, as well as being a self-described semi-conductor.

I enjoyed all of Michael Hoenig's albums except one: The Blob.  I came unstuck with that one.  Synergy (Larry Fast) is coming up next, just as soon as I've listened to all of his albums.

Agreed

I'm one of the weird ones who enjoys Hoenig's second solo album Xcept One more than his first. I first heard them in my cassette glory days. Both are classics.

Message from the Transceiver:- Have you ever wondered what an Intriguing cross between Jean Michele Jarre, Ultravox and Tangerine Dream would sound like? No, me neither, but we're about to find out.
