Tangerine Dream Team

Thanks Richard. I'll definitely need to revise my TD Top 10 after I've listened to Paradiso (2006): the third album in the Dante's Divine Comedy trilogy. 

"Aachen 1981"  is Tangerine Dream's 14th Live album and their 79th album overall, recorded by the classic TD trio of Froese, Franke & Schmoelling. This is the first in the series of Bootmoon albums and as the title suggests, it's a bootleg recording, so don't set your expectations too high regarding the dubious sound quality of this album. The music has a repetitive, hypnotic quality, so at least it'll help you get to sleep at night, even if it hardly sets your heart aflutter with excitement. Sorry to be a sauerkraut, but this is the kind of Tangerine Dream album that would qualify as being "For Collectors Only", although it's a double album, so at least you get more music for your money. 

"Paris 1981" is Tangerine Dream's third album in The Bootmoon Series, their 16th Live album and the 81st album overall. This bootleg recording has the same track listing as the "Aachen 1981" concert (Bootmoon 1) recorded just 12 days earlier, the main difference being that "Paris 1981" has far superior sound quality (with no  audience chatter in the background), so you'd be better off skipping the Bootmoon 1 recording altogether and listening to this new and improved version instead. The track listing may be the same, but the difference between the Paris and Aachen (Gesundheit!) recordings is not to be sneezed at.  

G'day sport! "Sydney 1982" is the fourth album in The Bootmoon Series, the 17th Live album and Tangerine Dream's 82nd album overall. This album has the best sound quality so far of the bootleg recordings, making this an album to savour as you gaze at the majestic Ayers Rock, but watch out for the 'roos! 

No, but I do own the two Virgin Boxsets with 12 classic albums on eight discs. 

It's all aboard the Marakesh express for "East - Berlin 1990": the second album in The Vault Series (following on from Rockface), the 19th Live album and Tangerine Dream's 84th album overall. Sadly, the video below is the only video currently available on YouTube from the East album, but it's a very high quality recording for a Live album. This 1990 concert marked the first appearance of Jerome Froese in a live show as well as being the first concert by a West German band performing in former East Berlin, following the fall of the Berlin Wall the previous year. It's just a pity we don't get to see lovely Linda Spa dressed as an East German border guard again.  

"Cleveland 1986" is the sixth album in The Bootmoon Series and also the fourth album in The Vault Series. Confusing? Yes, but numbering the albums is about to get even more complicated as we delve ever deeper into Tangerine Dream's HUGE discography. "Cleveland 1986" is Tangerine Dream's 21st Live album and their 86th album overall. It's another double album with a high standard of recording quality, as with all of the superb Live albums in The Vault Series.
