RUBYCON

Miles ahead of Phaedra and definitively my favorite Tangerine Dream album. I can´t explain what is it about this album, but every time I listen to it I always seem to find something new that I hadn't heard other times. Very weird music indeed. As with most TD albums, it consists of a single piece entitled Rubycon which lasts for some 36 minutes giving the music a free, continuous feel. I won't bother trying to describe the sound of the piece since it's abstraction puts it beyond logical description. Rubycon is the kind of music you listen while sitting alone in silence and forgetting about the motions of the world around you. Beautiful music. Wierd, but beautiful. And I don't usually give five-star ratings unless it's a very special case, but I can truthfully say this is one of them.
