LILY ON THE BEACH

I am not able to relate to the naysayers of this album. I feel they are sadly missing out on one of the most beautiful and thought transcending albums created by Tangerine Dream. I am not a consumer from a professional artist/musician standpoint, but rather from a human emotive standpoint. Maybe this is the disconnect. For me, Lily on the Beach is a put your headphones on, close your eyes, turn up the volume experience. The sounds, the guitar, the keyboard/piano, the drums, the woodwind (Long Island Summer), I am absorbed by them, moved to a place beyond thought. Really, as far as progressive electronic rock, this album is a stunner. I could listen to Lily on the Beach endlessly, every single track is luminous, energized.
