4 stars 1983: Hyperborea - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRpSLMRY8Q
 
Hyberborea is Tangerine Dream's 20th album overall and their 13th studio album. In Greek mythology, Hyperborea was an idyllic and magical land where the sun shione for 24 hours a day. A bit like the North Pole then, only a lot warmer and without the aurora hyperborealis. I'm not sure if Hyperborea is an idyllic and magical album, but it's still pretty good as Tangerine Dream albums go. Hyperborea is significant for being Tangerine Dream's last studio album on the Virgin label, marking the end of an era for the band, and I'm happy to say, they departed the Virgin label on more amicable terms than Mike Oldfield later did.  Tongue

This was my gateway album into the world of TD. I have fond memories of this and believe I bought this after hearing one of the tracks on a radio show called Stars End, broadcast in Philadelphia on WPXN back in the mid-1980s. Back then the show was broadcast very late at night on Fridays and Saturdays and I would listen to it with my headphones on and the lights out. If I could pull my stereo out into the backyard, this would have been great to listen to under a starry night.

Two other artists I discovered on that show were Mark Shreeve (which you've reviewed in the past) and Richard Pinhas. Like you, I'd give Hyperborea 4 stars too.

again, you were the one to attack me here.
I'm not being aggressive (how?) or trying to put you down. I don't know how you are reaching this conclusion. 

Let's stop, we've done enough damage to this thread about an (otherwise) great band.

So you're still at it. 
Sometimes an image, a photo and even an emoticon speak louder than a hundred words.

The only denigrating emoticons are these ones (which i stay away from)

Yes, I should have written "the forest" in stead of "the wood", sorry, and the meaning is that somebody is so focused on the trees (details), so he/she can't see the forest (the entirety/the whole context). 
And I wished that you saw things more in their context. For instance this time, there was no reason to intervene, as there was only little off-topicness, and some off-topicness, with maybe some very positive contents, is good for the interacting and the whole atmosphere on the forum.

there's nothing constructive about it, you say "you cannot see the forest because of the trees" to someone who does not understand something obvious, which used here makes no sense. What is it what i do not understand? What am i being accused of not being able to understand? Confused

All I did was point out your off-topicness. My mistake... You can do whatever you want, derail threads and so on. Ouch

I'll try not to get distracted again, so I'll leave you two to argue amongst yourselves while I have a listen to Tangerine Dream's Legend soundtrack. Smile

I'm not arguing. You don't seem to be bothered by what's happened, whatever...

4 stars 1986: Green Desert (recorded in 1973) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyYbiw4qPIc&t=276s
 
Green Desert is Tangerine Dream's 27th album overall, but was originally intended to be their 5th album (after "Atem"). Green Desert was recorded back in 1973 but ended up being locked away in Edgar Froese's vaults for many years until being remixed and partly re-recorded in the mid-1980's. The early tapes of the album were good enough to secure Tangerine Dream a record deal with Richard Branson's emerging Virgin label and the rest is history, as they say. Green Desert has come to be regarded as something of a "lost classic" amongst Tangerine Dream fans, where the album would have appeared like a green oasis in a barren desert of early 1970's electronica - had it been released in 1973 - and dare I say, Green Desert is even better than the actual 5th album: Phaedra. Thumbs Up
 
 
Track Listing:-
 
1. Green Desert (19:25)
2. White Clouds (5:01)
3. Astral Voyager (7:03)
4. Indian Summer (6:53)

4 stars 1988: Johannes Schmoelling - The Zoo of Tranquility - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nhboo7paHBUeqdi36lr78JJ8whsoeQrK4
3 stars 1990: Johannes Schmoelling - White Out
4 stars 1995: Johannes Schmoelling - Lieder Ohne Worte (Songs without Words) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kvyuXAYAHBTc5R6TDqKOL0YC7j334RIvc
4 stars 2003: Johannes Schmoelling - Recycle or Die
4 stars 2006: Johannes Schmoelling - Instant City
3 stars 2008: Johannes Schmoelling - Early Beginnings
3 stars 2009: Johannes Schmoelling - A Thousand Times
3 stars 2011: Johannes Schmoelling - Time and Tide
4 stars 2017: Johannes Schmoelling - Diary of a Common Thread

Two more:

A Thousand Times Part 2 (2016)
Iter Meum (2022) (brand new, releases this month)
I could only find full album links for three of Johannes Schmoelling's albums on YouTube, although there are individual videos available for all ten of those listed albums. I could do with a Tangerine Dream channel so I can assemble my own album playlists. Smile
