TYGER

This represents the second attempt at bringing vocals into TD's music previously tried on 'Cyclone' some 9 years earlier.Whereas Cyclone was a hit and miss affair with more misses than hits ,'Tyger' is actually very good.Jocelyn B Smith delivers a classical style of singing that sits very nicely with the music and doesn't detract in any way.In fact for me she brings out the passion in Blake's poems perfectly.This must be counted as a resounding success.The highpoint of the album is 'London' which has a dark atmosphere second to none.Probably the last great Tangerine Dream before they started 'churning' them out.No coincidence that it was Chris Franke's final album with TD I suspect.
