Atem is their fourth album, and the last of the Pink Years albums... Their third album is Zeit (a double disc affair) recorded the year before. |

Hi,
If I had a choice of which is the "best" or a top ten, then I doubt that TD would have 42 CD's in my collection. I'll be dead the day that I find one album I like more than the others, though there are some moments from several albums that are in my mind forever, the one that specially stands out, is "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares". I do not find, the early stuff "dark" at all Paul ... it was experimenting with the equipment and seeing what they could bring to it which started coming alive in ATEM ... and then exploded in STRATOSFEAR with their use of sequencers on hand. And 40 years later, if you check the live albums, TD still was the very best a sequencers, and the only ones that knew how to use them properly (I guess you could say they defined the genre) ... and make them sound neat. I don't think there is "dark" in TD at all, although the impression is given from the titles, which in the case of the KAFKA album would make it stranger for your imagination, but more often than not, what EF was about was INTERPRETATION, and from a literary point of view ... it's like going to school and having to read the book ... you learn and remember something (if you care to pay attention instead of dope and parties!!! of course!). It's weird to me, how we "decide" that something is dark, when it isn't and/or it's light when it might not be, and often elusive and just circumventing the subject by confusing you! I can imagine how life is so boring, when you consider these things "dark" and don't see it in front of you ... it's a very scary proposition!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I've always liked the Cyclone album, mainly because it's so different to any of Tangerine Dream's previous albums and I'll be crossing the Rubicon with the beginning of the classic Virgin era tomorrow.

I am fond of all of the TD releases up to and including Encore. I did not like Cyclone and what came after doesn't resonate with me the way the early music does.
My all time favorites are Phaedra and Rubycon..

 1973: Atem - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n50tuZHBag4K8Gw2Qcs1yyxLbnbpV4DaIAtem (Breath) is the third and final album in Tangerine Dream's dark, ambient trilogy and the second album to feature their classic line-up of Froese, Franke & Baumann. Tangerine Dream moved into much more familiar territory with the sequence-driven sound of their next album, Phaedra - the first TD album on the Virgin label. Interestingly, the picture of the baby on the cover of Atem is Edgar Froese's son, Jerome, who followed in his father's musical footsteps by becoming a full-time member of Tangerine Dream in 1990.

That quotation above is almost as long as Tangerine Dream's discography.

I'm not sure what happened there either, but my quotation has been turned into computer gobbledegook for some unexplained reason.

At least listing all of The Savage Rose's many albums would keep you busy for awhile.

If to be serious, and look at the ratings at RYM, it's not that bad, but it is with my motivation for it.  |

Maybe you could start a Danish prog blog to highlight some of the prog artists from your home country, although you might quickly run out of albums to feature.

Could be, and I'll give at least Phaedra a new listen. I can also tell that another good friend of mine since 1977 has been Froese's Ypsilon. Anyway, this is a very good thread, and Paul, it's incredible how productive you are on PA forums. They would surely be something else without you.

1971: Alpha Centauri - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_noEO6a7IY62GQ8JNxn4DacJln_u2AwF9k Klaus Schulze departed Tangerine Dream after the first album to begin a long and successful solo career. This album features the beginning of the long-time pairing of Edgar Froese and Chris Franke with Peter Baumann joining Tangerine Dream for the next album "Zeit", completing the classic TD trio in the early years.
