Quichotte (re-released as "Pergamon" in 1986) is Tangerine Dream's 14th album overall and their third Live album. Quichotte was recorded in January 1980 at the Palace der Republic in former East Berlin, which has long-since closed down. Nearby is the famed Pergamon Museum, hence the later re-titling of the album. If some of the music on Quichotte sounds strangely familiar, then that may be because some of the music from the concert was incorporated into their Tangram studio album later that same year. Smile

I love this album and I love the unabridged concert even more! Clap

Tangerine Dream - Signals from the Schwabischen Strasse: a German documentary film from 1976 (with English subtitles) featuring the classic TD trio of Edgar Froese, Chris Franke & Peter Baumann, talking about their music and showcasing works in progress at the time. Notable commentators in the documentary include Richard Branson, John Peel, Monique Froese and some chap called Miles. The documentary title refers to the street in Berlin where Edgar Froese used to live, and apparently, Klaus Schulze used to live on the same street at the time. Crikey! I thought some of our northern towns in England looked pretty grim, but towns don't get much greyer and grimmer than East Berlin. By the way, I should have posted this documentary earlier, as we're already well into the third Tangerine Dream era now, but better late than never, eh. Embarrassed

4 stars 1980: Tangram - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQpAJUZeIAY
 
Tangram is the 13th album overall and marks the beginning of a new era for Tangerine Dream with new member Johannes Schmoelling joining the band to make it a Tangram trio again. This is the last studio album where the title track traditionally occupies two full sides of an album. The 1980's heralded the beginning of the "short track" period for Tangerine Dream and is also fondly remembered now as their soundtrack decade, including such notable movie scores as:- Thief (1981); Wavelength (1983); Risky Business (1984); Firestarter (1984); Flashpoint (1984); Heartbreakers (1984); Legend (1986); Three O'Clock High (1987); Near Dark (1988): Shy People (1988); Miracle Mile (1989); & Destination Berlin (1989). All in all then, a VERY busy decade for Tangerine Dream with barely any time left over for celebrating their success down at the local Bierkeller. Smile

The story so far, marking the end of an era for Tangerine Dream, and the end of a decade for the rest of us. Smile

5 stars 1979: Force Majeure - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afqgm3CzzQY
 
Tangerine Dream were essentially a duo (consisting of Edgar Froese & Chris Franke) by the time of the recording of their 12th album: Force Majeure. They were still a major force to be reckoned with though, as this is arguably Tangerine Dream's most melodic album so far and a firm favourite amongst English fans where it remains their fourth best-selling album in the UK. Tangerine Dream were destined to become a keyboard trio again when Johannes Schmoelling (born 1950) joined the band as a long-term member for the recording of their next album: Tangram, marking  the beginning of a new era and a new decade for Tangerine Dream. Heart
 
I played Force Majeure endlessly when I first bought the album back in 1979, which didn't annoy my parents nearly as much as when I played Motorhead's Ace of Spades album endlessly the following year. Tongue
 
 
Track Listing:-
 
1. Force Majeure (18:17)
2. Cloudburst Flight (7:27)
3. Thru Metamorphic Rocks (14:30)

4 stars 1978: Cyclone - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQKJL9K1MLY
 
Following the departure of long-time member Peter Baumann in 1977, a fresh wind of change was blowing through Tangerine Dream with the release of their 11th album: Cyclone. This album is notable for featuring the unique trio of Edgar Froese, Chris Franke & English musician Steve Jolliffe, and somewhat controversially, it was the first Tangerine Dream album to feature vocals (provided by Steve Jolliffe), which wouldn't be heard on a Tangerine Dream album again until "Tyger" in 1987. Tangerine Dream fans may have fallen out of their chairs in shock upon  hearing vocals for the first time on this album back in 1978, but Cyclone has now come to be regarded as a much-loved classic in the Tangerine Dream canon, and deservedly so too in my view. Thumbs Up 
 
 
Track Listing:-
 
1. Bent Cold Sidewalk (13:05)
2. Rising Runner Missed by Endless Sender (5:00)
3. Madrigal Meridian (20:28)

Yes I love it too. Every square sonic inch. Nevertheless I'd find it somewhat interesting if it's "purely" a 1973-recording. Because if that is so, I'd say it's a very much a foreshadowing album. Both for Tangerine Dream and for electronic music in general.

Green Desert was definitely "finished" in 1984, the earliest instance of what would later be dubbed "tangentizing" (adding new sounds to an older recording).

Chris had long since ceased playing an actual drumkit, so the side-length title track certainly dates to 1973. The low-mixed pulse-loop sounds modern and so do the synths. The guitar line is up in the air.

"White Clouds" is likely fifty-fifty: again, real drums, but the melody is modern and mirrors their Schmoelling-era sound aptly. Engaging, either way,

The last two pieces, "Astral Voyager" and "Indian Summer," invite even more speculation. I think "Indian Summer" may even be a purely modern piece because it sounds like it would be right at home on Froese's solo album Pinnacles., which was released in '83.

Encore is Tangerine Dream's tenth album overall, their second Live album and also the second double album (after "Zeit"). Encore consists of all original material (in common with most of Tangerine Dream's Live albums) and was recorded at a number of venues during their successful North American tour. Encore is also notable for being the last album to feature Peter Baumann in the TD trio. He left the band to record two Tangerine Dream-style albums of his own before going off in a totally New Wave direction as Germany's answer to Gary Numan, including a very bizarre cover version of Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" (see above). Well, it was the 1980's.  Wacko 

 


Two more stellar recordings!

Sorry, but I can't stop laughing of this one.

If I could be that precise, I'd rate each of Tangerine Dream's albums progressively higher from 1974 onwards, so for instance, 4.0 for Phaedra, 4.23 for Rubycon, 4.50 for Ricochet, and 4.90 for the dizzy heights of Stratosfear. Smile

Maybe you missed this one? It's supposed to be a shelved 1973-album of theirs "remixed" in 1984 and released in 1986. Sound very late 1970's to me though. Anyway, beautiful album that would have been counted among their classics - if it actually had been released sometime in the 1970's. Well, I think so.

It's funny you should mention the Green Desert album as I read earlier that the album failed to bloom in 1973 because the band decided to begin work on the Phaedra album instead. Anyway, thanks for mentioning it and I'll be sure to include Green Desert later here on it's actual release date of 1986. Confused? I will be. Tongue

It's just like crossing the Rubicon - you'll know when you've reached those higher levels. Smile
