Tangerine Dream - Zeit - Progressive Rock Music Forum

You have to have time for "Zeit".

BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

Julian Cope said that when Zeit is on, it changes a room - live it or hate it, people notice it. Once I put it on, it must be played thru. I own an LP copy, but this is one instance where digital wins out - it's a gas being able to take it all in without having to get out of the bean bag chair.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I keep seeing an info I can't vote on any poll (not sure why) but the right option for me would be "I absolutely LOVE it". It's magnificent. It's one of probably four albums I ever heard in my life, that took me some places I have never been before. And I don't need drugs, Zeit is drugs :) Transcendental masterpiece for me.

You'll be able to vote in polls when you have around 40 points and you'll be promoted to a 2-star Forum Groupie at the same time.

Love Love Love IT!!!!

Early T Dream is marvellous. Many bands go through different periods of style.

So much better than when they hit their Rubicon disco era. No. Just kidding. Relax.

Composition standard went off the scale with Phaedra. But they had to get there and Zeit was the time for it.

This band jammed at Salvadore Dali's place. Still can't get over that...

Shhh, I would rather that not be made so obvious. ;)

I toyed with the idea of entitling this “Tangerine Dream’s Zeit, wet dream or nightmare?” Or some such thing. Of course seeing the title as is, most of the haters and the indifferent would not bother to check this thread thinking it just another appreciation thread that likely lists the tracks. We have got a lot of those kinds of polls. I would not check many polls or topics about bands or albums of which I have very little to no interest (especially when it comes to familiar names in my case, and I don’t want complian about albums I don’t like. I would rather focus on what I do like and think might be of interest). If it was put as love or hate in the title, more would vote methinks, and I would not be at all surprised if some would vote hate who hadn’t even heard it just to be negative or clownish. I’m fine that this ended up being more of an appreciation thread. Votes don’t matter to me, but the comments are what I enjoy, and if I also get fewer negative comments, well, that’s fine by me, although I do like to read about what people like and dislike, and their thinking or reasons to go along with it if they are inclined to do so.

I would expect most to be apathetic upon seeing this topic, less so if I titled it differently, but I went with a mundane title even if I would hardly call the album mundane.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Ah yes, 80 minutes of refrigerator hum noises

The album def has value though, it's a great album to throw on before bed around here. Pretty eerie stuff.

Funnily enough, at one time their discography really ended for me with Phaedra.

It would've been my mission to turn you on to Rubycon...! (*and Ricochet, Stratosfear and Encore)

I actually can't fathom why I ever would not have liked those albums (not that I knew all of those). They are brilliant, and in fact those are the Tangerine Dream albums that I would be most likely to play these days. I think I just tried later Tangerine Dream at the wrong time and in the wrong mood. It was a long time ago. By the way, Kitaro was the first electronic artist that I ever really got heavily into (with Oasis back in the 80s).

Nice! I first heard Kitaro on a tape given to me by an older cousin (who got it from someone else, but he knew I was into that sort of stuff). I didn't know which album it was at the time (the debut, Ten Kai (Astral Trip), but I loved it. It was unlike Tangerine Dream, Jarre or Vangelis, and different was good.

The first album I bought (on cassette) was Ki. Loved it.

FF and I love all the early analog stuff: Ten Kai, Oasis, In Person, Toward the West, Silver Cloud...anything before Tenku.

Indifferent is a good word (just didn't come to me at the time), and I will add that to the ambivalent option. I like it when people care about language/ the right terminology. My language skills have gone downhill over the past few years.
