Tangerine Dream: Untangling the Tangram

Live at the London Astoria is Tangerine Dream's 26th Live album and their 103rd album overall. Sadly, there's no decent footage available from this concert, so here's "Astrophel and Stella" from Tangerine Dream's excellent Madcap's Flaming Duty album (dedicated to Syd Barrett), which is also the first song featured in the London Astoria concert. Again, look out for Bernhard Beibl doing his best Ritchie Blackmore impersonation, and not forgetting Linda Spa, who plays a mean didgeridoo. 

Following on from Antique Dreams (2000) and the Silver Siren Collection (2007), Tangines Scales is the third of four albums in the Antique Dream Land series, marking Tangerine Dream's 104th album (approximately) overall. In fact, every album from the 100th album onwards should include the word "approximately" in the numerical order. of release, what with an incredible eighteen Tangerine Dream albums released in the year 2007 alone, although Stranger Things have happened. 

Booster is Tangerine Dream's 106th album (or thereabouts). Take a trip in the TD time machine with the first of seven 2-CD albums in The Booster Series, a compilation of rare and classic TD tracks from yesteryear to give your Tangerine Dream collection a boost. 

One Times One is Tangerine Dream's 36th studio album and their 108th album overall. This album is the first in the so-called "CupDisc" series, where the idea is that you enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee (or something stronger) whilst chilling out and going into Cruise control with some nice relaxing music from Tangerine Dream. Cheers! 

 2007: One Night in Space - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYpEO2P38PM

Another legendary performance and another night to remember, this time coming Live from Frankfurt, featuring the classic line-up of Edgar Froese, Thorsten Quaeschning, Bernhard Beibl, and the two ladies in red: Linda Spa and Iris Camaa, marking  Tangerine Dream's 28th Live album and their (estimated) 109th album overall. Amazingly, One Night in Space is the 16th Tangerine Dream album release of 2007 alone (including two EP's), making it their most productive year to date, but who knows what's still to come in the 15 years ahead, when we're still about a hundred albums away from the current release of Raum in 2022. 

Bizarrely, I also forget to include the Legend soundtrack in Tangerine Dream's lyrical list of albums. 

============

Tangram 2008 is Tangerine Dream's 39th studio album and their 112th album overall. This is a re-recording of the classic 1980 album (as if you hadn't already guessed) which sounds familiar and yet different at the same time, the main difference being that you can really hear Iris Camaa pounding away on the percussion in this updated version which, dare I say, sounds even better than the original.... (prepares to have egg on the face, or a face on the egg). The yolk's on me! 

Autumn in Hiroshima is Tangerine Dream's 41st studio album and their 114th album overall. This album is the third instalment in The Five Atomic Seasons series, a musical journey commemorating the horrific atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 and one Japanese  businessman's survival against all the odds. Sadly, we still live under the ever-present threat of nuclear war in 2022 where M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) appears to be the only way of keeping the peace in a world gone mad.
