WHITE EAGLE

"White eagle" is a disappointingly dull album by the Tangs. It has all theusual ingredients, but it does seem to be Tangerine Dream by the numbers. It has the sound of a band going through the motions, and churning out another album using the same formula.

The feature track is "Mojave plan", which occupies the whole of one side of the original vinyl album. It starts with the usual vague ambient moods, before moving into more structured synth dominated melody. The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra appears later in the track, but their contribution does little to lift the track from being an elongated noodle. With all three band members now firmly entrenched on keyboards, the lack of any other sounds such as lead guitar makes the album somewhat one dimensional.

The title track is brief by Tangerine Dream standards, but its use as the theme tune for a German TV series led to it becoming a surprisingly successful single.

There's nothing offensive about the album, indeed the music is pleasantly melodic. It is however unimaginative and just plain dull.
