 Topic: Ricochet: Tangerine Dream

I was going to do a joke Tangerine Dream Survivor poll but decided I was quite interested in what other people thought about my favourite TD album the hypnotic Ricochet! (LIve)

The answer "both" is missing.

"Both" would be a good option indeed. But I vote for part 1, which I prefer by the thickness of a hair. Ricochet is my favourite TD album as well.

Ok Ok Its my poll.
I didn't want to have a whole load of don't like and like both votes. I was originally interested in which side people prefered cos I find it difficult to decide. I think that most people who like Ricochet will like both sides so I didn't give the option.
People can always comment on the album anyway.

I prefer "Part 2" I guess, but really the whole thing is delicious.

I'm pretty sure I used to have it on LP, but if I did, it was a flood victim, and like all TD albums of that period, it can't be anything but good. With two long tracks I would probably not have a preference. Reminds me I haven't installed the replacement belt for my turntable that I ordered a couple of months ago. A turntable I haven't used in several years.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I don't own the entire album although I have heard Part One. Part Two features on the Dream Sequence compilation (one of the best compilations of any band ever imo) and is stunning from start to finish.

I guess side two. I think the two parts should have been switched as the piano intro to Pt.2 would make a great beginning to the album.

Man that is quite the pickle. I love both sides for different reasons. I will have to get back to you - maybe spin the thing after my Italian metal madness ends in a bit. Should be quite interesting following up ZU - Carboniferous with TD's Ricochet
