^^ I should give it another listen too, I only heard it once but had a great impression of it. I'd really want to see them live, this way I could also buy their albums
^ Awesome
This morning:
Water - Damburst
Gόnter Schikert - Samtvogel
Jeff Beck - Beck-Ola (A bit different from the other one, but I really liked it too )

^ I'm not too familiar with Tony Newman but Nicky Hopkins played on many albums back then including The Rolling Stones. If you Google his name I'm sure you'll find several albums that you know.
He wrote The Girl From Mill Valley on the Beck-Ola album and played that great solo on Blues Deluxe on the Truth album.

He sure does a lot of different music, within the genre
To be honest, I never finished the album awake It's a tough music to listen, I have to be relaxed to appreciate his music, but not too much I liked what I heard though
Great review, with all that description I thought it was a 80 minute album, but it's one hour long. It seems to change a lot
How's the new TD?
Last night:
Led Zeppelin - II (First time on vinyl, it's fantastic )
Jethro Tull - Aqualung (I bought SWilson's remix on vinyl. It has great sound quality, but it's still a tough album to listen)
Tangerine Dream - Optical Race (Finished with a nice instrumental album, after too much vocals)

The Tangerine Dream disc sounds great, Sam. With the exception of violin and a little guitar used sparingly here and there, they're back to purely electronic sounds. That TD disc has some of Edgar's final contributions with them.
It has a lot of great ideas, and seems like a busier version of the previous album `Mala Kunia', which was a step in the right direction.
Someone has made some videos for the first two tracks here:
It's funny, this first track reminds me in a few spots of the Ozric Tentacles! Plenty of nice classic TD sounds in there as well, there's actually quite a lot of lovely moments.
This next one is another decent if shorter piece, which is way too busy, it doesn't take enough time to let ideas develop...every few seconds it's jamming in different beats, etc, when it would benefit from a little more drawn out atmosphere and ambience. It shouldn't feel so rushed and crammed full.
I think the idea is that this current EP (or short album at 33 minutes) is to develop this into a full-blown album, but they've said that with many of these cardboard sleeve discs, and it never really happens.
