![]() ![]() 2" opens in a wonderfully haunted way, like air-raid sirens at the lowest possible pitch, joined in unison by several male voices (someone in the band must have heard György Ligeti's work for 2001). 1" ebbs and flows through tense washes of echo and Mellotron choirs, as primitive sequencer lines bubble to the surface. The somewhat dated palette of sounds here never overshadow the mood: eerie psychedelia without the paisleys - Pink Floyd without the rock. Rubycon has aged gracefully for the most part, making it a solid companion (and follow-up) to their 1974 album, Phaedra. The three of them had been delivering mysterious space records on a regular basis, and their growing confidence with early synthesizers (the best that money could buy at the time) made them virtuosos of the genre, even as they kept things organic and unpredictable with gongs, prepared piano, and electric guitar. There’s an very old saying: force creates force.The members of Tangerine Dream continued to hone their craft as pioneers of the early days of electronica, and the mid-'70s proved to be a time of prosperity and musical growth for the trio of Chris Franke, early member Peter Baumann, and permanent frontman Edgar Froese. Besides that, force and the unlimited power of using it even on a virtual level will sooner or later destroy all these very sensitive feelings within you. What my concern is, is very simple to explain: you have to devote your artistic, mental and emotional skills to something which in most cases isn’t even worth a dime. Killing, fighting, monsters against monsters, does anyone cool and intelligent need that at the outset of the 21st century? I’m not talking about this from a moral or ethical point of view nothing is really ethical on this planet. I don’t want to see all of the violence and crap that characterizes most of the games that exist. There is definitely good earning potential in that, but the price you have to pay as an artist is far too high in my eyes. Why TD did never get into making scores for video games or music for PC entertainment in general? Answered by Edgar Froese 'Raum' was released on Februand is available as a CD, gatefold double LP and digitally. Watch the video for the title track 'Raum': A heavy Moog bass marks the beginning and the end of this 15-minute piece. An ambient rave Moog Minitaur sequence highlights the final peak, till the violin slowly transports the listener out. The title track Raum makes a nod towards the early live studio performances like Zeit and Phaedra - the melody accompanied by a chorus-like Roland Jupiter 8 part. You're Always On Time is built on PPG wavetable sounds and eerie field recordings. Continuum, with its repetitive sequence and broken beat shows glimpses of acid sounds and increasing choral atmospheres. ![]() With the 17-minute In 256 Zeichen they lay the fundament of this record. Composed and produced with full access to Edgar Froese's Cubase arrangements (and Otari Tape Archive with recordings from 1977-2013), Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane and Paul Frick deliver late-night real time compositions combined with classic studio productions, sequencer driven haunting soundscapes alternate with anthemic warm synthesizers.Ĭomposed in a time of social distancing and cancelled shows, the tracks cannot exactly be recreated (or will at least need significant re-instrumentation for a live performance). On their new album, Tangerine Dream develop the concept of its precursor EP ( Probe 6-8) further. Tangerine Dream are happy to announce their latest studio album 'Raum' which was released on February 25, 2022. ![]()
