![]() Sorcerer was the ninth Tangerine Dream album overall and their first of many soundtrack recordings. The William Friedkin movie "Sorcerer" starring Roy Scheider, may have sunk without trace, but the excellent soundtrack still lives on in the memory for Tangerine Dream fans. ![]() Sorcerer (the movie - part 1) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk0zo2f4OG0 Sorcerer (the movie - part 2) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIAB5sWbf7c Edited by Psychedelic Paul - September 06 2022 at 15:08 |

And after a couple of years with Rubycon, I might be ready for Phaedra. ![]() |

Green Desert is entirely Edgar & Chris because Peter was off on one of his "jaunts." The album became a point of contention for many fans because it was the fifth LP in the box set ...In the Beginning. Relativity and Jive Electro stated the "bonus" album Green Desert would not get a separate release — which, of course, it did. Personally, I love every square sonic inch of Green Desert and could care less how much was done in '73 or '84!

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.

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. |

A brief interlude.....
I featured the solo albums of Edgar Froese earlier in this thread, so it seems only fair I should include Peter Baumann's solo works too, and don't worry, I haven't forgotten Christopher Franke, as he's coming up here later in 1991 to coincide with the release of his first solo album: Pacific Coast Highway. I may even go for the whole enchilada by featuring all of Klaus Schulze's albums too - eventually - after I've finished listing and listening to all of Tangerine Dream's bazillion albums. ![]() Peter Baumann (born 1953) appeared on all of Tangerine Dream's albums from Zeit (1972) through to the live Encore album in 1977 before departing the band to concentrate on his budding solo career. He released eight albums in total, recorded over the span of forty years from "Romance '76" through to his second collaboration with Paul Haslinger in 2019 with "Neuland" (which roughly translated means "New Land"). "Thankyou Captain Obvious!" - as Cristi would probably say. ![]() By the way, you may be better off skipping Peter Baumann's two early 1980's albums, unless you're seriously into the sound of New Wave music, but don't say I didn't warn you if you choose to listen to them anyway. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Peter Baumann - Strangers in the Night (with apologies to Frank Sinatra) ![]() Tangerine Dream albums with Peter Baumann:- ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 30 2022 at 14:25 |

I would've rated the Rubycon album 4.23 too if I could've done.

I can tell that I get more fond of it for every new listening, not least Pt. 1 with it's strange mood.

As close to as it can be, even I don't find that kind to be so important for one's own rating.

Thanks! You learn something new here every day, including learning about the exploits of Don Quixote, who I always used to pronounce as Don Kwik-sote, until I knew better.

Quichotte is an alternate spelling of "Don Quixote" a famous novel by Manuel de Cervantes about a knight who wants to "courageously" attack windmills, together with his rather smarter cohort Sancho Panza

I've just had a quick look at the Tangerine Dream albums page here on PA and noticed Rubycon is the highest-rated studio album with a rating of 4.23, so it's good to know my 4-star rating is not too far out from the average. I'm currently listening to all of Peter Baumann's solo albums (the third member of Tangerine Dream) so he'll be coming up here next, even though his two 1980's New Wave albums leave a lot to be desired. His first album "Romance '76" is really good though, especially bearing in mind it was recorded the same year as the stratospheric Stratosfear album.

So true, Paul, and your rating (4.0) is still higher than the average of all the 6000 ratings on RYM and PA.

I always associate Pergamon with Robert Maxwell (which can't be a good thing) as his publishing empire was called Pergamon Press. Hopefully, when I've listened to the Pergamon album, I'll associate the name with Tangerine Dream instead. I recall the Pergamon album was subtitled "Quichotte" so I'll have to look that up and find out what it means.

![]() Stratosfear is Tangerine Dream's eighth major release and it's a real stonker of an album! This is the stunning 5-star masterpiece that soared to new heights of dramatic intensity for me with it's romantic flavour and much more melodic sound. Stratosfear also holds a special place in my heart as it's the first Tangerine Dream album I ever bought, which almost exceeded the "Invisible Limits" of my tight budget (back when vinyl albums cost the princely sum of £2.39) as I'd only just started work at the time back in 1976. ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 13 2022 at 07:14 |

Mellotronstorm"s review of Pergamon came at just the right time, as it is my fave TD release of the 48 albums I have from them....gulp!
