Just had a mail from CDS saying the Optical Race album is to be reissued in Japan in a very Ltd. edition replica card sleeve. I love this album so have ordered it. It'll be an expensive venture if the others are released. CDS want 19.99 gbp.

I first heard it around 1997 and I remember thinking it sounded quite dated. But looking at the tracklist now there are some very good tracks like Mothers Of Rain, Sun Gate and Marakesh.

It`s just my over riding memory of this album is the title track which I remember thiniking was awfull and sounded like something of one of my budget Amiga games I was playing at the time.

But I think it deserves to get another listen by me.

of course in 2008, with TDs current direction, OR is terribly dated....but for me, Sungate is such a superb track, that it leads OR into classic status.....for me that is

"Mothers of Rain" is a classic piece,a very emotional track for me to listen to

Whenever I watch the tempodrome gig I always spot you at the start of that track

. But I agree it is a very emotional piece of music.

It has caused a watering of the eyes on more than one occasion,and the concert you mention was one of them

Optical race 1988 was my first encouter with TD.
I cherish this album. Nowadays I own a larger collection of TD.
I never heard one track of TD when I listened to O Race.
After a while I went on searchin for more material of TD.

Optical Race? My first TD LOVE!

i adore optical race except two tracks , optical race and twin soul tribe. but overall the album is a td classic and holds great memories for me,tracks like atlas eyes,mothers of rain,catscan and sungate to name a few are absolute crackers !!!

Still like this album. Bought it after a few years of less interest in TD. It never ended after that.

But is there anything extra on the cd? Guess not, usually the Japanese things are beauties in sound,but not in extra's.

Yep, a very good album. Sounds a bit dated now. I wonder what the new version will be like?

it is the same version, so not edited by Edgar. I suppose a bit clearer in sounds.

The 2003 re-recorded version is very good IMHO
