This month, Peter Baumann will record with the other members of Tangerine Dream. I figure we'll hear the results of the sessions in the second half of 2015.

That's pretty cool, but it doesn't really fall into TD's wheelhouse. I'd say the overall result has much more in common with Michael Stearns, and some of Steve Roach's output, too.

I think I'll have a listen before I purchase - mostly because I have far too much Tangerine Dream and Tangerine Dream-like music in my collection....but if it's good it's good. This was pretty interesting btw - I had no idea he'd been studying psychology and philosophy: |

His solo career is not really good, but he seemed to put a lot of thought into this one. We'll have to wait to find out.

Indeed.
Apropos Baumann and Tangerine Dream. I must've watched this one hundreds of times. The opening piano playing by Froese is heartbreakingly beautiful and always leaves me with a bittersweet smile on my face - more so now than ever. Oh Edgar  |

I have a handful of 70's TD albums that don't get much action these days, except the one I always come back to: Phaedra. An absolute masterpiece that transcends their genre. Also have a few Klaus Schulze albums that I regularly spin (Picture Music, Timewind, Mirage, X) and Froese's Epsiilon in Malaysian Pale which I'm still getting into...

I first heard Tangerine dream in the mid 70's, Rubicon, Phaedra and Ricochet listening on head phone whilst reading Michael Moorcock books!! (I was 14!). I then heard Force Majeure (on the Friday night rock show also!!) and was blown away too! I saw them in Bristol in the early 80's but cant remember what year.. it was a very ambient show with a lot of 'shuffling' beats and sequencers which you could see influencing artists like 'the Orb'. I then saw them in London (shepherds bush empire) on the 'Tyranny of Beauty / Goblin Theatre' tour (the only live show in Europe that year?) and it was sold out, full of people from all over the world as well as very aromatic smoky smells!! Very Trancey, dancey show and completely different from before.. an absolutely stunning version of 'Dolphin dance' (from 'Underwater sunlight') which is one of my favourites with some superb, emotional guitar work.. fantastic stuff!! I also really rate 'Poland- the Warsaw concert' as the definitive lp of the Johannes Schmoelling era.

Apparently you were savvy enough at 14 to recognize that this was appropriate music
to read Moorcock by. Excellent! I’ve long thought that Klaus Schulze’s “Timewind”
was the perfect soundtrack to his works, especially “The Ice Schooner” or “The
Silver Warriors.” Though I knew about TD very well, it took a few years before I started buying their records, beginning with “Ricochet” (excellent choice for a starter), “Tangram”, the “Legend” STK, “White Eagle”, “Logos”; then I got brave and bought the “In the Beginning” box, which collected their pre-Virgin works plus the unreleased “Green Desert.”Edited by AreYouHuman - February 26 2016 at 18:58 |

^Yes, it sounds great! I prefer this sound to what "Tangerine Dream" have been doing as of late.

I'll eventually be setting up an "early (mid 70's) Tangerine Dream soundalike band" in the UK. This involves using up to date versions of the analogue equipment TD were using around the "Ricochet" period. Anything which doesn't exist has to be built, and so far, I've built one analogue synth and a dual sequencer unit. You can see the first basic road test of the sequencer box below - this is still under development and will end up much, much more complicated.
This is the tip of the technical iceberg. We have two modular synths already and several analogue synths. If all goes well, and I can find some suitable musicians, I'll be doing live gigs (UK) by the end of 2017. That's the theory. ;-)

And the "business end" - this is somewhat of an oversimplification....
A second synth goes into the blank panel at the bottom and then it becomes even more complicated. ;-)
As far as I know, no one has ever rack mounted these particular sequencers before. A second rack will hold mixers and effects processors. All other synths go through the mixer as well. And there'll be two (retro) synth players, hopefully a drummer and guitarist, I double up on sax, my brother doubles up on guitar and I'm also hand building a vintage psychedelic lightshow. ;-) We'll also be using reel to reel tape players for background sound effects. Let's see if it all happens. ;-)  Edited by Davesax1965 - April 05 2016 at 02:54 |

Just another snippet or two....
https://soundcloud.com/brotherhoodofthemachine/thingseq https://soundcloud.com/brotherhoodofthemachine/sequential We will be as near to 70's TD equipment as it's possible to get. ;-)

It's great to see someone using real equipment Dave
.After seeing the Coventry Cathedral concert broadcast on BBC TV, Ricochet was the first proper album I bought - in 1976 at the age of 14, on cassette  . After that, Stratosfear and Sorcerer then got too distracted by other things. In the last ten years or so I've discovered and come to love the earlier albums through exploring the Krautrock genre, then at the end of 2013 decided The Virgin Years: 1977-1983 box set was so cheap it had to be worth a try. This thread and the PA reviews have now got me as far as 1986's Green Desert and Underwater Sunlight although skipping Le Parc and the soundtrack albums after Thief and I'm finding at least some quality tracks on all of them (and I do now enjoy the whole of Cyclone  ). TD were certainly very inventive and at least during the first 15 years or so were dedicated to trying out new sounds and techniques, so a lot longer than the worthwhile careers of most groups  . |

Always a band near and dear to my heart. My favorites are Stratosfear, Cyclone, Force Majeure, and even Exit and Underwater Sunlight. I saw them once, in 1988, and they were like GODS I tell you, perhaps the single best show I ever went to. The show was a trip - I don't think any of the selections came from any albums I knew, or perhaps any at all, but I loved them the same

I never saw them in concert but the live abums I have - Klangwald, Deutschlandhalle, Ricochet, Encore, Quichotte/Pergamon, Logos, Poland - are all great individual works in their own right rather than simply repeating the compositions on the studio albums
