Agreed on Stuntman, that's a great album. I thought Pinnacles was good too, but haven't heard it in years. I like Schmoelling's solo stuff too. Wuivend Riet is my favorite, and I liked White Out too. I also own Songs No Words on CD, but I thought it was a little thin. Agreed also on your comment re: Franke's solo works. I've often considered Froese/Franke like I consider McCartney/Lennon, Waters/Gilmour, Woolfson/Parsons, etc. - the sum is greater than the parts.

started digging into Progressive Electronic just recently, only coupla years ago. After discovering and falling in love with both Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze classic albums, I gotta say this one is on par with those -
Also I found myself liking quite a lot of Ambient/Drone stuff, with this record being my all-time favourite from the genre - |

^I love that Hoenig album AND his OOP 1987 record titled Xcept One, which is vastly different but equally indispensable.

Hi,
Michael Hoenig is a part of the original Berlin folks that helped develop the medium. They are all "progressive" in the sense that they were experimenting and trying to find something within the electronics available. Some did, and some didn't. Some became better known and others didn't.

^ I decided just to get the 7 studio reissues with the bonus tracks . Cost me considerably less than half the price of the box set. Guess I'm just missing the DVD material. Is it that good?

One question is: how EXPERIMENTAL electronic music would fit into Progressive Electronic?
I had an LP long ago in my youth, with a surrealistic drawn cover, containing experimental electronic music. It was so bizarre (both the music and the near-hideous but rather terrific cover art) that I eventually recycled it. Recently I tried to find out what the hell it was. Remembering only 'Birch-something' of the artist name, I managed to find it from discogs.com: Reality Gates: Electronic Meditations by Steve Birchall. ![]() ![]() The page includes the links for the tracks. For a curiosity, would this kind of experimental electronic music pass for Progressive Electronic? (Vangelis's Beaubourg is rather similar.) Me, I'm rather skeptical about it.

No, I've been buying a lot of newer TD albums, does it add much to the originals? I noticed the Tangents book said the group chose not to release Oedipus Tyrannus at the time as they weren't happy with it.

I don't believe Oedipus Tyrannus is getting a separate issue. At the time I ordered the box (16 audio CDs, 2 Blu-ray discs, and a hardbound book), it all boiled down to $9 per disc, shipped. That's not counting the book. For me, that's even cheaper than buying the reissues separately. (Of course, ISOH is now commanding higher prices.) Oedipus Tyrannus is a fine lost album; it sounds like a cross between Phaedra and Rubycon, of course, with a smidge of Stratosfear. And that can never be e bad thing! It's just a great set to have, something of this size for that kind of money.

Hopefully I'll be getting this soon. It's massive and it's wonderful. All the unreleased stuff feels like it could have been released at some point, either as bonus tracks or separate releases.

And this is where we're trying to separate two things ... sort of like the day that the original synthesizer became an "instrument" because of a keyboard, instead of some far out and weird noise making device that was difficult to control. I can understand your question, however, I question the motive ... why are we now considering "Progressive Electronic" just another song, and not the EXPERIMENTAL material that it was for its first 20 or 30 years? PHAEDRA, right after ATEM, was sort of a buildup into an orgasm, more or less. And it was something that we could relate to, that gave the synthesizer an identity (not to mention SEQUENCERS), that someone like W. CARLOS did not have. It was sort of like the noise before was not quite considered "music", and now, it has to. I, personally, would like to remove the "progressive electronic" determination ... completely. I find it offensive, and prohibiting ... in the manner that all of a sudden you can not experiment, and create another BEAUBOURG, because it ain't music, and we don't like weird, abstract stuff, because it has no lyrics to tell us that it is about having sex after 3 drinks! We have to be careful with the idea ... I think that we are trying to classify a COMPOSER as an idiot, because he can not do songs ... and all of a sudden an ARTEMIEV is stupid, because during his time, in RUSSIA, the three or four modules he had was all he and his friends could help him with and afford, and yet he created something extraordinary, and even showed it in a movie ... that was electrifying ... though I seriously doubt that many of us in this board will sit through it instead of one of the Marvel comic strip movies ... with all the "action", so you replace the one you are missing in your life? (... and the lousiest music for it as a soundtrack!)

I can't afford it ... just like I could not KS's WORKS 1 and then WORKS 2 later ... both of which I deeply regret because there is some really far out and neat stuff in there ... and I like a lot of it, much of it even more than the regular KS material. Saddest part was his friend (KM) telling me to f**k off when I requested that he make that stuff available in some form ... my guess is that they don't want to pay the hundreds of folks involved in it. SAD ... there is some really beautiful stuff in there, and I can not have it ... I have to stay with the tube, until such a day as they remove it. I understand TD having to release things to make a decent living and add to their legacy ... redoing the early stuff is not the answer for me ... I was there at the time, and had a few of the bootlegs, and I heard how different and far out the stuff was, much of which NEVER EVER made it to an album! Some of the live stuff that has been released tried to make sure that the bootlegs did not take off or sell a whole lot more ... and it worked for the most part ... but now, we're back to the same issue ... no one knows how hard it was to play what they did, and how different it was on stage ... and how much it added to the experience, something that today, would not go over well at all ... when folks want hits and songs THEY KNOW, and ALREADY HAVE!

mosh, I know it looks pricey but considering the contents (not to mention a book), the value is immense. There are three full concerts, and it also marks the first time an official TD release with Michael Hoenig — not a bootleg, not an unofficial or fan release — has been issued.

oh man.. even after all these years...what a sore spot of a question that is. In fact still never have forgiven f**king Phillipe for demoting JMJ from Prog Electronic to the dustbins of hell.. I mean Prog Related ... his reason.. who knows.. then again.. considering our history which wasn't flowers and roses...and that he knew I loved JMJ..... he probably did just to spite me.

Yeah, Tangerine Dream were very progressive in the field of rock music but from the viewpoint of the experimental electronic music produced by the “classical” community over the previous couple of decades could actually be considered a “dumbing down” and popularisation by reintroducing beats, repetition, older forms of melody and harmony. |

I just don't trust the classification at all. I mean Neuronium are classed as 'progressive electronic' yet I would struggle to think of any electronic band that is less 'progressive'. I do like them but more often than not use them as an aid to sleep as I do with say Thom Brennan.
