As close to as it can be, even I don't find that kind to be so important for one's own rating. Smile
I would've rated the Rubycon album 4.23 too if I could've done. Tongue

A brief interlude.....
 
I featured the solo albums of Edgar Froese earlier in this thread, so it seems only fair I should include Peter Baumann's solo works too, and don't worry, I haven't forgotten Christopher Franke, as he's coming up here later in 1991 to coincide with the release of his first solo album: Pacific Coast Highway. I may even go for the whole enchilada by featuring all of Klaus Schulze's albums too - eventually - after I've finished listing and listening to all of Tangerine Dream's bazillion albums.  Smile
 
Peter Baumann (born 1953) appeared on all of Tangerine Dream's albums from Zeit (1972) through to the live Encore album in 1977 before departing the band to concentrate on his budding solo career. He released eight albums in total, recorded over the span of forty years from "Romance '76" through to his second collaboration with Paul Haslinger in 2019 with "Neuland" (which roughly translated means "New Land"). "Thankyou Captain Obvious!" - as Cristi would probably say. Tongue 
 
By the way, you may be better off skipping Peter Baumann's two early 1980's albums, unless you're seriously into the sound of New Wave music, but don't say I didn't warn you if you choose to listen to them anyway. Big smile

Maybe you missed this one? It's supposed to be a shelved 1973-album of theirs "remixed" in 1984 and released in 1986. Sound very late 1970's to me though. Anyway, beautiful album that would have been counted among their classics - if it actually had been released sometime in the 1970's. Well, I think so.

It's funny you should mention the Green Desert album as I read earlier that the album failed to bloom in 1973 because the band decided to begin work on the Phaedra album instead. Anyway, thanks for mentioning it and I'll be sure to include Green Desert later here on it's actual release date of 1986. Confused? I will be. Tongue

Something's amiss. The rating should reflect 6 out of 5 stars! It gets a 6th because it's simply that good. Clap

I can tell that I get more fond of it for every new listening, not list Pt. 1 with it's strange mood.

The titular piece is one of their very best! Clap

Green Desert is entirely Edgar & Chris because Peter was off on one of his "jaunts." The album became a point of contention for many fans because it was the fifth LP in the box set ...In the Beginning. Relativity and Jive Electro stated the "bonus" album Green Desert would not get a separate release — which, of course, it did.

Personally, I love every square sonic inch of Green Desert and could care less how much was done in '73 or '84!

4 stars 1977: Sorcerer (soundtrack) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvLFe3nsulY
 
Sorcerer was the ninth Tangerine Dream album overall and their first of many soundtrack recordings. The William Friedkin movie "Sorcerer" starring Roy Scheider, may have sunk without trace, but the excellent soundtrack still lives on in the memory for Tangerine Dream fans. Heart

 5 stars 1977: Encore (Live 1977) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8is0eYVfxs
 
Encore is Tangerine Dream's tenth album overall, their second Live album and also the second double album (after "Zeit"). Encore consists of all original material (in common with most of Tangerine Dream's Live albums) and was recorded at a number of venues during their successful North American tour. Encore is also notable for being the last album to feature Peter Baumann in the TD trio. He left the band to record two Tangerine Dream-style albums of his own before going off in a totally New Wave direction as Germany's answer to Gary Numan, including a very bizarre cover version of Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" (see above). Well, it was the 1980's.  Wacko

It's just like crossing the Rubicon - you'll know when you've reached those higher levels. Smile

Yes I love it too. Every square sonic inch. Nevertheless I'd find it somewhat interesting if it's "purely" a 1973-recording. Because if that is so, I'd say it's a very much a foreshadowing album. Both for Tangerine Dream and for electronic music in general.

If I could be that precise, I'd rate each of Tangerine Dream's albums progressively higher from 1974 onwards, so for instance, 4.0 for Phaedra, 4.23 for Rubycon, 4.50 for Ricochet, and 4.90 for the dizzy heights of Stratosfear. Smile
