Tangerine Dream S/D

Score at the store today! Got Stratosfear and Cyclone. Can honestly say I have never heard anyone sing the words "bent cold sidewalk" with such zeal.

Bought Tangram on vinyl today for a few quid...what's the general consensus on it? Wasn't sure what to make on first listen.

Not bad, but you can tell everything after it was going to suck.

I love the beginning of part 2, but the rest never sticks in my memory.

Really love the use of "Love on a Real Train" in The Squid and the Whale. Made me LOL each time.

it finally occurs to me today after many years that "Ricochet, Part Two" is fucking sick

this. this this.
after years of focusing on the final virgin trilogy, today i picked up 'stratosphere' and 'encore' today which are good and all, but this one is just insanely good.
oh, and these sbm remasters sound fantastic.

just to clarify, i picked up force majeure and ricochet as well.

also announced to be doing the GTA V soundtrack

Unless they're planning on recording that soundtrack in 1981 I wouldn't bother.

too late!

thats a bit weird.

old hippy fuckers being asked to do sonic stuff for game aimed at granny killing young'uns.

This thread has made me want to see Michelle Meyrink films, never heard of her before. Turns out she is a serious buddhist now.

Their Thief soundtrack won a Raspberry award for worst soundtrack but it is a fan favorite. I've looked at all the previous awards of that ceremony recently and some are pretty dumb choices.

I saw The Keep recently and was blown away by the soundtrack. The film is interesting and I'd like to see the directors cut finally come out someday, but I think Tangerine Dream was the real star of that film, they made it far more atmospheric and strange than it might have been otherwise. The acting is a bit rough in places and I almost feel as if TD make it seem surreal enough for it all to work. I'm not sure. But the "Silver Crosses" track really haunted me in a way nothing has for quite a long time. Really annoying that there is so many versions of the soundtrack, and that some versions are said to be different recordings than the film. I have looked through different youtube versions and I'm not enough of an audiophile to be able to spot differences for sure.

Craziness. There's one especially good track on it, if I remember correctly.

She's the best!

I like the whole Thief sdtk too, but I don't really remember much about any individual tracks.

Tangerine Dream was the real star of that film

Totally agree. Thief is not a great film, but the way the soundtrack works with the production design, especially the opening nine-minute segment, is excellent.

They're currently touting what is being described as their "farewell" (hmm) tour next year. It's billed as the Phaedra tour but as yet there is no word on whether that actually means that Phaedra will be performed in its entirety. If it is then I might be tempted.

The GTA soundtrack is brilliant.

I'd certainly go see them play Phaedra or any of their seventies albums.

There has only been one official release of The Keep and it was v limited and heavily re-recorded and re-composed iirc. Some of the music trickled out on other albums here and there in the 80s. I have an mp3 boot of the film tracks which is challenging in terms of sound quality but the music transports nonetheless.

I'd like to hear more about the gta soundtrack!

me too! i was wondering why that thread kept popping up but i thought maybe it was enthusiastic gamers jib jabbing?

I think it might be on iTunes, Jon. Think it got a release a few weeks ago, a little after the game.

I think I have mp3s of perhaps 6 different versions of the film soundtrack... none of them quite match up to the movie itself. If you like "Silver Crosses" and you haven't heard Logos you should do so--a big chunk of it comes from that album.

I'll see if I can find Logos tomorrow at the shops. I really love "Silver Crosses".

I enjoy Phaedra to a degree but it never fully clicked yet.

xpost thanks that's what I was thinking of. Logos...

Totally agree. /Thief/ is not a great film

GTA score sounds pretty good to me so far -- like Tangerine Dream w/ marching bands horns and drums. I would never play the game (I don't know how and don't want to learn) but I would groove down the sidewalk while listening to this song for sure.

I haven't seen it since 1981 in a second-run theater, but rewatching the trailer reconfirmed for me I'm not much of a James Caan fan in either yelling "I WEAR $150 SLACKS!" or sensitive "I'm just askin' ya ta be with me" modes in this. Your mileage may vary. Great movie, really?

I saw Logos but didnt buy it because I wasnt sure if there was a studio version of the album, but it is actually a live album of original material.

there is no studio version of logos.
but it is a damn good live td album ..

Love Logos

Like most live TD records, it's it's own thing. Logos is great.

Been playing Ricochet at a high volume today, what a trip this is. I never noticed how subtly funky those bass sequencers could be if you concentrate on them.

The grand theft auto music is getting an official release in march apparently.

cool

in a moment of new year madness, I booked a ticket to this.

TD playing the Sorcerer soundtrack with support from Rother & Moebius

I think after this I can close the book on Krautrock revival concerts.

Madness? Are you kidding? That sounds awesome! Talking of awesome:

well, that's the soundtrack for this afternoon sorted.

such a good album.

and can i add 'no mans land' the opening track of 'hyperborea' as being another wiggle friendly track.

Finished listening to Logos; lots of good stuff in there but that "Silver Crosses" section is one of the best pieces of music I've heard in the last few years, funeral worthy music.

Silver crosses is part of the film score to The Keep, where it makes a spectacular effect. Great piece.

Yeah, I was talking about that above a few months ago, that's what made me buy Logos.

There's one other TD release that has Keep music... is it Tangram?

Anyway, since it looks like a proper OST for The Keep will never be released at this point, I've seen talk from BSX Records (who released a pretty convincing rerecording of the
Blade Runner score) of having one of their synth nerds do it from scratch.

The synth pads on Logos (and that section in particular) are to die for.

Now I kind of want to cover silver crosses

Silver cloud/silver crosses medley

i have no idea what you are all on about re silver crosses, as i just hear one long slice of TD perfection.

i.e. logos is properly brilliant.

any love for solo froese? "ages" has never been out of my playlist for very long since i heard it earlier this year.

Yeah, ages is good as is Epsilon in Malaysian Pale - about as close as Froese ever got to making a Klaus Schulze album if memory serves. I don't like Pinnacles that much and tried and failed to find anything of interest he's done in more recent times.
