Other people’s opinions can be very damaging. I had believed those telling me the quality of Tangerine Dream’s albums declined steadily until becoming worthless at some point in the late 1980s and was trying to work out exactly when that was. Having bought a cheap 10 CD compilation a couple of months ago out of curiosity to see just how bad they were in the 1990s though I discovered they started to become interesting to me again around 1997 and have gone on to find many worthwhile albums from the the last 20 years. Maybe people will say they’re no longer “progressive electronic” but I happen to like drum machines, loops, techno, remixes and ambient and they fit in more with my “non-prog” collection. So what I am into now is this later Tangerine Dream. |

I've been listening to a lot of Beatles lately. From early Beatlemania stuff like "Meet the Beatles" and "A Hard Day's Night" - soundtrack, to Sgt Pepper and The White Album. The other day I listened to the "Let It Be" album all the way through, very underrated in their catalogue imo. So yeah the Beatlemaniac in me has been coming out big time as of late lol.

^ the great thing about LiB is the relaxed, under-produced garage sound they got. |

Yes, I noticed that. And also the songs are just really good, the obvious ones like the title track, Long and Winding Road, Across the Universe, Get Back.. but also stuff like One After 909, Dig a Pony, For You Blue, Two of Us. It's just a really good album to my ears. But then so much of their stuff is that it kind of gets lost in the shuffle I think.

As I made that transitional albums poll I ended up spinning
all those Miles Davis-records that sort of makes a bridge from his second great
quartet to the electric period. Namely Miles in the Sky, Filles De
Kilimanjaro + the later released Water Babies and other relevant
material such as: Circle in the Round, Water in the Pond, Teo's Bag, Side
Car, Splash... from different collections I own. Other than that i've been obsessing with bellydance music from the 1970's. Some of its just crazy awesome. If you like prog for its rhytmic complexities, virtuosity and stuff... or Secret Chiefs 3 there's really no reason this couldn't/shouldn't similarily blow your mind Edited by Saperlipopette! - April 14 2019 at 14:11 |

No. I tried to watch it on YouTube but says it's blocked on copyright grounds. The Beatles people are almost like the Harry Potter people lol. Oh well, guess I can't really blame them.

I'm one of those folks that likes to EXPERIENCE the music on his own ... opinions don't really matter and ideas neither. And, I guess, that you could say that I speak like that here, because I get tired of the pop comments by so many folks about their favorite guitarist ... geee, which girl has the best _____________??? It's not even about the person, or his/her art anymore ... it's just a preference! There are a lot of new things out there, and some older folks also doing some great work, that are not getting credit, because we pasted "progressive" to a bathroom wall in some john in the late 1960's and early 1970's ... and yeah ... it's hard to repeat "time" ... but music and the arts? A very different animal, and people today can do "progressive" as good, and better than yesterday ... but we think that Shakespeare (so to speak!) is the only writer for 300 years ... because no school or anyone reads anything else except pulp, or cheap commercial imitations of the real thing ... they sound good ... that's about it, but the vanity behind it is ... too much perfume ... sickening!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Hopelessly lost in an RPI fog only occasionally relieved by Neal Morse.

Basically the 'classic era' ended with Underwater Sunlight in 1986. However they came back strongly in the 00's especially with the Booster series. You are correct that there was a 10 year period when they wer not so good as Paul Haslinger and Chris Franke departed and it took time for Jerome Froese to bed in. The music did not become worthless. There was also the series of albums they made with opera singers that I strongly recommend including Purgatorio

That's a good one. It has some slow spots for sure, but when it gets going it really gets going.
