This is not a great tangerine Dream album, nor is it a terrible one.

The main piece is the twenty minute Mojave Plan. Like many of the long TD pieces this one moves from section to section without much to tie them together. The good: there are some very nice synth patches in the piece. i particularly like the buzzsaw synth lead in the earlier movements. The bad: too many sections get me imagining the vocals from Kraftwerk's We Are The Robots running over the music. Yes, that is a bad thing.

Midnight In Tula is a much more upbeat piece than I'm used to hearing from TD in the seventies and early eighties. I like it.

Convention Of The 24 is the best piece on the album. Dark and moody, it contains all of what drew me to TD in the first place.

From what I read here, the title track, White Eagle was used as a theme song for a German TV series. That's probably why they named the album after this track. But probably because it was made for a TV show, the song goes nowhere, and is about as boring a track I've heard from TD.

Ups and downs. 3 stars.
