Oasis for me.
"Flashflood" and "Waterborne" are among my all-time favourites.
I generally prefer the documentary soundtracks to the feature film soundtracks.

Absolutely, DV.

"Cliff Dwellers" is also a good track, with some really nice rythms.

This was abit special in 1997 when I saw TD live a the Birmingham Symphony Hall. I loved the long drumming buildup at the start of Flashflood and Waterbourne sounded awesome for the the loudness and wide dynamic range.

When I think about it, "Cliff Dwellers" is my fifth favourite too.
From best to "worst":

"Waterborne"
"Flashflood"
"Summer Storm"
"Cedar Breaks"
"Cliff Dwellers"
"Chia Maroon"
"Zion"
"Hopi Mesa Heart"
"Reflections"

Oasis was among the first TD records I heard, and it, along with my other early purchases (Mars Polaris, Underwater Sunlight, Canyon Dreams, Great Wall of China etc.), gave me the impression that TD were a very romantic an emotional band, composing music dedicated to natural wonders and such, and this was probably the main reason why I fell in love the group. These albums are still among my favourites.

I managed to catch that show at the Symphony Hall, it was stunning and a great venue as well.

Yes, the security and the ushers at Symphony Hall, Birmingham treat customers with respect unlike the Shepherds Bush.....

I was fortunate enough to see them at the Symphony Hall and the Colston Hall in Bristol, both shows were great but the Symphony Hall show was much more serene and sedate. Nothing to do with the band and all to do with the venue which was well organised and run. Shame that Bristol City Council won't invest in a new concert hall like Birmingham and Cardiff have done. They are tarting up the Colston Hall but apparently it's little more than a new coat of paint.

Tangerine Dream
