I was listening to Fleet just now. Mark's solo albums remain my favorites, but I do love his collaborations.

This is positively fantastic.

I'm sorry to hear that. Broken Heart I saw Mark Shreeve play Live at the EMMA festival in Derby back in 1994. He was wearing a studded leather jacket at the concert, which reminded me a lot of Cozy Powell in his heyday.

Austrian musician Paul Haslinger was a member of Tangerine Dream from 1986 thru' to 1990 and during his five years with the band, he recorded an incredible total of 19 albums, 8 of which were released after he'd already left Tangerine Dream. A lucrative career in Los Angeles beckoned, where the world was his lobster. He recorded an almost endless succession of scores for TV shows, video games and movie soundtracks in Hollywood, where the future looked so bright, he had to wear shades (especially in the dazzling Californian sunshine). By the way, if you really want to hear some amazing music, then skip all of the soundtracks and check out Exit Ghost II (2021), which is simply sublime! ....... And talking of exits, it's time for me to say "Auf Wiedersehen", until the next time.  Smile

Tyranny has some good tracks, like "Bride in Cold Tears" and "Living in a Fountain Pen."

It took me a long time to properly appreciate it, but I concur Goblins Club is something of a comeback; the last three tracks, especially "Sad Merlin's Sunday," are excellent.


Tyranny of Beauty is a great album title and I Love the album cover too, so I just hope the music lives up to the promise of the cover and title, and I just noticed the album features Linda Spa on saxophone too, so my expectations are already set high. Smile

Yes, Canyon Dreams first "arrived" on VHS in 1987...I rented it! I think it's the best music by the FFH line-up after Underwater Sunlight, Near Dark and "Live/Miles Part One."

From what you've told me so far, it sounds like the  1990's weren't the greatest decade for Tangerine Dream, but I have a strong feeling there's going to be a Turn of the Tides for the better when Linda Spa joins the band for their 1994 studio album. Wink

TD makes a comeback, eventually...

...but Turn of the Tides is less memorable than Melrose, even. Confused

Canyon Dreams is a good New Age album though , well I liked it!

The Canyon Dreams soundtrack also has the distinct advantage of having been recorded in 1986 (five years before its eventual release date) when Tangerine Dream were still the dynamic trio of Edgar Froese, Chris Franke & Paul Haslinger. Thumbs Up

Having taken a quick peek at Michael Hoenig's discography, there are two solo studio albums, one collaboration (with Manuel Gottsching) and five soundtracks currently available on YouTtube, so plenty to look forward to and I can say that without agitation. In the meantime, I still have a lot of Paul Haslinger albums to get through, but I'll be back here with his full solo discography before too long.  Smile

With the publication of The Bootleg Box Set ~ Vol. 1, and the inclusion of the 1975 Royal Albert Hall concert, an official release that reflects Michael Hoenig's brief involvement with Tangerine Dream became available. The RAH concert happened immediately after the Australian tour. Clap

I have Heartbreakers but may only have listened to it once or twice at the time. I've just revisited it thanks to the recommendation. Now listening to Poland for a contrast. I have to admit I find Heartbreakers still quite lacklustre, and Poland has so much more depth. I have to say that after Poland (and including 1984 soundtracks) I really have a hard time appreciating anything they have done. Some more recent music from the last 20 years I heard is OK but still far from pretty much anything between Electronic Meditation and Poland. Obviously, as I lost interest, there's much between 1985 and today that I don't know, but I don't expect much from it knowing what I know. And that from one of my absolute favourite bands up to that time. Disapprove

Poland and Heartbreakers scratch different itches. Poland is about intensity, density and lengthy excursions. Heartbreakers is a score that ably supports the film's themes with its concise structures and melodies that oscillate between melancholic and jubilant. I love those patently Schmoelling lead lines!

Holy Moly! I almost forgot to include Michael Hoenig here, but thanks to a timely reminder from David and Holy Moly, his eight albums  will be coming up right after Paul Haslinger's solo works. As you're probably aware,  Michael Hoenig was a former member of Agitation Free, but he never actually appeared on a Tangerine Dream album, although he's long been associated with the band after standing in for Peter Baumann on Tangerine Dream's tour of Australia back in 1975. Having taken a quick peek at Michael Hoenig's discography, there are two solo studio albums, one collaboration (with Manuel Gottsching) and five soundtracks currently available on YouTtube, so plenty to look forward to and I can say that without agitation. In the meantime, I still have a lot of Paul Haslinger albums to get through, but I'll be back here with his full solo discography before too long.  Smile

The only Tangerine Dream album I've really disliked so far was Zeit, which seems to be a popular favourite amongst TD fans, but comes as no surprise, given my past record for down-rating popular albums that almost everyone else here seems to love (VDGG's Pawn Hearts & KC's Larks' Tongues in Aspic being prime examples). Tongue

From what you've told me so far, it sounds like the  1990's weren't the greatest decade for Tangerine Dream, but I have a strong feeling there's going to be a Turn of the Tides for the better when Linda Spa joins the band for their 1994 studio album. Wink

TD makes a comeback, eventually...

...but Turn of the Tides is less memorable than Melrose, even. Confused
Oh dear. That doesn't sound good. Let's hope Turn of the Tides doesn't turn out to be a wash-out for me too.  Tongue
