Probably not lucrative enough to make it worth jumping through the contractual hoops to make it happen?

The licensing of film score reissues is really complicated and costly and if there’s one stakeholder who doesn’t want to play or who is holding out for a crazy price you’re out of luck. Also they have to find the soundtrack elements and it’s very common for those to have been thrown into a landfill somewhere. But I imagine whatever rights limbo afflicts the movie also prevents a score release. TD are popular and it’s an eighties genre movie - it’d definitely sell

All sorts of obscure soundtracks come out quite often so I'd think it would be simple enough most of the time, but a total headache often enough to be wary?

I interviewed Thorsten Quaeschning and Bianca Froese-Acquaye (Froese's widow, and TD's manager) for the upcoming issue of The Wire, about what the current incarnation is doing and how they're balancing honoring and preserving the group's legacy with being a present-day project (new album next year).

Great interview! In total agreement with your comparison of a recent track to a Kompakt 12". I rather like the fact that with Schnauss and Paul Frick's involvement the group is (re)connecting with later generations of German electronica. (Tbh the current lineup is making far better music than at least several previous incarnations of the band.)

I'll reserve judgement until I've read the article, but for now I'm standing by my conviction that TD without Edgar Froese is not TD. TD is not a franchise. It was Edgar's project, his life's work. Quaeschning can do whatever project he likes but he has no moral right to call it TD, whatever Froese's widow may say.

So has anyone here checked out 21st Century TD with Yamane, Schnauss and Quaeschning? I'm a fan of the classic Froese era (and a bit beyond the classic era too) but haven't heard anything since he died. Those 6 albums of Sessions look interesting. I wish I'd bought that recent copy of The Wire with the TD cover story but I can never find The Wire out in the wild around here
Also - is it worth making a separate thread for 21st Century TD?

I was planning on picking up the standalone Hyperborea CD but apparently it doesn't have the Risky Business stuff.
― Noel Emits, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 20:46 (three years ago) link
Maybe a licensing thing? The previous batch all had the same extra tracks as the versions included in the box.

Listened to some of this box today on Spotify. The full Dominion “concert” that Logos was pulled from is great, all lush Jupiter 8s, crispy PPG and proto-808 drums. I kind of wish there was some 5.1 stuff to be had on this but appreciate how much unreleased materials they unearthed.
― Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 19:58 (three years ago) link
Couldn't spring for the box, though I was tempted by all the live material and the fact that I already own the very lush and excellent first box, and I bet they'd look great on the shelf together. I'm still definitely considering purchasing it, especially if I get some additional stimulus money! That's what it's for, right?
I love this period and have never heard the mythical Keep soundtrack. I was initially a little put off by all the 'cues' on the tracklist. Why do I need those? And I already own all of these studio albums on CD. But Logos is one of my favorites, so the idea of the full concert - as well as other full concerts from this period - is very enticing.
― Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 20:16 (three years ago) link
I'm listening to the Logos concert on Spotify now and it's pretty good. I'm still way more of a fan of their 1970s material than anything after, but this might be something I wind up using as an editing soundtrack (I edit manuscripts all day). I use a lot of those multi-disc Klaus Schulze compilations for that.

The Dominion Concert on this set is absolutely fantastic - I've dipped in and out of the rest of the stuff here, but it's this concert that I keep coming back to.

Tangerine Dream - Green DesertTangerine Dream - Underwater SunlightTangerine Dream - TygerTangerine Dream - Canyon DreamsTangerine Dream - RockoonTangerine Dream - Goblins ClubTangerine Dream - Turn Of The TidesTangerine Dream - The Dream Mixes
someone tell me which of these i should prioritise as i have no idea re this era of t'dream.

Green Desert is a 1973 recording with 80s overdubs and mix, the rest I haven't heard.

haha.
i would love that to be true.
so many questions.
- how long before they regrouped ? - how many members ? - did they disband after every cr*p album !?
etc etc.

Tough call, but I would maybe start with Tyger and Underwater Sunlight
― Maresn3st, Wednesday, 11 August 2021 19:56 (two years ago) link
i actually tried the opening track of Tyger on the drive home.umm .. dreadful vocals.way way worse than Cyclone which i have got used to.i guess i need to give the album more listens/time then.

The Jerome Froese era is really really dicey. I kind of like:Mars Polaris/Rocking MarsParts of the Dante trilogy Views From A Red TrainMaybe a couple of others I’m forgetting. But it would be fair to skip over his tenure entirely to when quashneng (?) became the main partner

not in this house it isn't.i have heard all the classic Virgin era releases many many times over the years, and yet, Hyperborea is the one I still come back to the most whenever I get the urge to listen to TD.

― joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Wednesday, 8 September 2021 13:33 (two years ago) link
yeah, hyperborea, white eagle, and exit = my favourite era.
a few weeks on from the haul, and i am finding these 90s releases nowhere near as painful as i was expecting.i guess going in with low expectations helped.even Tyger with more dreaded vocals works for me when in the mood (i.e. hungover sundays), but Underwater Sunlight, Canyon Dreams and the Dream Remixes are definitely the ones i have enjoyed the most.

This just popped up on my Spotify:
Probe 6-8 provides a glimpse into the forthcoming Tangerine Dream studio album (due for release in early 2022). A sequencer driven sound - reminiscent of TD’s early 1970s work - is combined with a lush 1980s crystalline bliss. The trio of Thorsten Quaeschning, Ulrich Schnauss and Paul Frick has composed and produced Probe 6-8 with full access to Edgar Froese’s Cubase arrangements and Otari Tape Archive (featuring recordings from 1977-2013). The first track Raum is a nod to the band’s early live studio performances Zeit and Phaedra, utilising a distinctive heavy Moog bass (which marks the beginning and the end of this 15-minute piece). This new set of recordings also feature two remixes - Berlin-based composer and producer Grand River (Aimée Portioli) has given ‘Raum’ her signature sound and ‘Continuum’ was remixed by Berghain resident and Leisure System co-founder Sam Barker.
