 1987: Tyger - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mB5ucN83CjtsWEpcuXpDZ-VD2Z6ZsicJ8

 

Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?...... And so begins Tangerine Dream's 30th album, based around the poetry of William Blake. Tyger is an exceptionally good album and it's a landmark album for Tangerine Dream in two ways. It's only their second studio album to include songs and lyrics (after "Cyclone" in 1978), but sadly, it's the last Tangerine Dream studio album to feature long-time member Christopher Franke.

 

 

Track Listing:-

 

1. Tyger  (5:45)

2. London  (14:22)

3. Alchemy of the Heart  (12:23)

4. Smile  (6:08)

5. 21st Century Common Man, Part 1  (4:49)

6. 21st Century Common Man, Part 2  (4:00)

  hello, Paul:  my sentimental favourite Tangerine Dream album would have to be Atem.  it was the work that convinced me to do Space Pirate Radio for real, on a real commercial FM station in California.  after that is Phaedra & Zeit, followed by Rubycon, Ricochet, Stratosfear & Sorcerer.  obviously, a time capsule here.  when I met Edgar & the others backstage after the 1977 Santa Monica Civic performance, things were still fresh & relaxed then. "I hope the audience didn't notice we were tippling," Edgar said to me, referring to the Kamikazes, or vodka & lemonades he was drinking during the show.  a very young Jerome had an 8mm camera and was filming his father & I talking from his lower perspective.  even Roman Polanski was there, with then girlfriend Nastassja Kinski.  flashing forward to November in 1992 & Tangerind Dream finished their Rockoon tour celebrating an early 20th Anniversary of Space Pirate Radio in Ventura, California.  a very long road indeed.  my best to you.

I meant Turkish Delight which you have told, you were once sucking on while watching a Symph Metal video, so I was just trying to make a joke, sorry.
