  I am really really confused right now.Im interested in Tangerine Dreams music.

  Progressive electronic.I listened music preview .I was stunned-wow!!! Emerald Beyond, some live

  edition .  I like it.But there are lots of albums and lots of ERA`s

   Witch ERA`s and albums you recommend to me.

    What do you think about these bands?

    What can you talk about Procol Harum ,Klaus Schulsze

    (correct me if I spelled Schulsze falsely)
Frank Zappa,Pink Floyd,Yes,Genesis,Rush,King Crimson,Jethro Tull,E.L.P,Rick Wakeman -They have one similarity-    I Love Them all !

The first era of Tangerine Dream is the era from "Electronic Meditation" to "Atem". Very little rhythm, the music is more a texture. The 2nd phase is the "Phaedra" to "Ricochet" phase. ("Green Desert" belongs into that phase too, but was not published before the 90s). Meandering improvisations over sequencer rhythms. The 3rd phase I like to seperate into two sub-phases, a) and b). Phase a) begins with "Stratosfear" and ends with "Encore"; rhythms become much more important now, the electric guitar is rediscovered, and there is less improvisation; the music is composed now. In part b) of phase 3 drums are added (beginning with "Force Majeure"). This period I'd say lasts until "The Warsaw Concert", which in my opinion is the last album of Tangerine Dream that can be recommended. I stopped listening to them after "Tyger", which was the low point after a series of bad albums. Maybe they released some better ones later, but I am honestly no longer interested. They were good when they made weird noises, but their compositions are just too ordinary for my taste.

Uh...


SCHULZE!!

Hello,Genesisprog...

first of all,why is this in non-prog?

second of all,I highly recommend that you experience the amazing and blissfull moments of Tangerine Dream's and Klaus Schulze's Golden Era (that being 1974-1984 for TD and 1973-1980 for Schulze)...every album within this period is a masterpiece,is strong in every aspect and contains some of the most purest moments of electronic music...passion,creativity,complexity and surreal emotions...I don't know how much you're into this genre,but for me,such experience is divine...simply divine...

no, no, no, no! Johannes Schmoelling completely redefined the TD's sound and style from Tangram! and you forgot post-poland albums like underwater sunlight & livemiles, who are brilliantly composed!

             Procol Harum is "sort of" in the Classical Rock genre.  Nice lyrics, singing, playing and arrangements.  The reason some consider them prog is the occasional long epic song, with proggy lyrics.  Piano and organ, but no mellotrons or synthesizers.  Robin Trower was guitarist on early albums, and "Broken Barricades" has a bit of Hendrix guitar sound. 

             First few albums: rock with some psych-prog elements.

             Then more mature sounding for a few albums...

             I have all albums up to "Grand Hotel".

             I can recommend "Salty Dog",  "Broken Barricades",  "Live" (with orchestra), and "Grand Hotel".  The other early albums aren't bad, but the first album is in mono and doesn't sound that great.

If you like Shultz, then you should check out GO, the fusion/space music supergroup he was a part of with Steve Winwood, Stomu Yamashta, Al Dimeola and Michael Shrieve. Great stuff.
If you like art of musicians, check my site (the music section) and tell me what you think! http://www.kenmeyerjr.com
