At last! Tangerine Dream's 191st album and their latest album to date, so we didn't quite make it to the 200th album mark together. The Sessions VIII album was recorded at two separate sessions in Warsaw and Gdansk in Poland and then ingeniously melded together into one - a bit like one of Spock's mind melds in Star Trek. 

Coming up next, it's back to the future with the entire discography of Klaus Schulze, who you may recall was in the original TD trio for the Electronic Meditation album way back where it all began in 1970. 

I have a feeling that TD is becoming a live experience, and CD's ... oh well ... you missed the live experience! 

All of these "sessions" and other works, stand out beautifully as a live experiment, and way better than any of the CD's since Edgar Froese left us ... which defines something else about the music ... and one other unusual thing ... the sessions with Ulrich Schnauss are better than the ones with Paul Frick ... at least listening wisse, as it seems like the Paul Frick "sessions" (listening to Silent Green) is a bit more on the soft side of things, reminding me of Rubycon moments ... it's that quiet. I suppose that Paul Frick is simply getting his bearings, but in an improvisation? What bearings?

Regardless, the live experience is far superior to the CD stuff, and worth the listen ... with one problem for you and all of us ... there is so much ... so much ... and so far out and different, that deciding on one of them or two of them, is an issue. 

But for me, at least now, the live experience with the sessions and some guest folks is way too good and far out and far superior to any of their CD's since Edgar went on a permanent vacation without us!

Tangerine Dream's 189th album. We're going way way back this time with a classic live performance from Reims, France in 1975 with the original TD trio of Edgar Froese, Chris Franke & Peter Baumann.

Been listening to those "sessions" and almost all of them from the Schnauss era are excellent, and quite a listen. Just heard like 3 times in a row the one from 2:28 (something like that) which had an eastern city (Chinese? Japanese?) in it ... and another which was all ocean that started with a lighthouse ... 

Excellent stuff, and much better than the "releases" ... and you can see the band expanding and playing to the work at hand, and in both of these there were magnificent moments.

Tangerine Dream's 187th album. Yes, it's finally here! The much-acclaimed Raum is the second studio album from the new TD trio and a real return to form.  The Raum album with its classic analog sound represents a continuation of the legacy of Edgar Froese's musical genius. It's a new beginning for Tangerine Dream, and on that note, this is What You Should Know About Endings. 

Tangerine Dream's 185th album and the seventh of eight albums in The Sessions series, this time recorded live at the Barbican Hall, London in 2019. The single track is titled "Each Tea Lasts an Hour", which it does if you want to settle down with a cuppa and listen to a Tangerine Dream EP. 

Hey, we're now less than ten albums away from the finish line, so we won't quite reach the 200th Tangerine Dream album, although there's always Raum for more albums next year.
