Hopefully it'll give a boost to TD, post Jerome

Tangerine Dream
Madcap’s Flaming Duty
****
Voiceprint, cat no tbc
German synthmeister’s poetic
tribute to Syd Barratt.
A dozen songs spanning 70-plus minutes pay homage to Syd Barratt by matching Tangerine Dream’s lush synthscapes with vocals from Chris Housle (sic), and lyrics derived from poems by the likes of the renaissance man Sir Philip Sidney, metaphysical poet George Herbert, pre-Raphaelite Rossetti, visionary Blake, romantic Shelley and comparatively latter day US scribes Whitman and Emerson. And the marriage mainly works. From the nigh-on 10 minute opening Astrophel & Stella, the burbling keys, rifling beats and incisive guitar work compliment the vocals well. Shape My Sin sounds like Opera Sauvage-era Vangelis, The Divorce adopts a down tempo millennial Marillion mode, and the sleek, flute-laden A Dream of Death filters Floyd by way of Depeche Mode or Pet Shop Boys. Celtic strains appear here and there, and some tunes are less vital but, on the whole it’s a laudable, albeit less than psychedelic inclined, tribute.

I'm not sure what the 'mainstream' press is these days, everything is so fragmented. I used to think the only genre was music ;)

that would be NME then...hmmm not eactly the people with their finger on the pulse of all things electronic at the best of times.
I't possible that Q and Mojo will review it (I'll keep checking). It'll be interesting to see 'if' TD surface in this weekend's Observer music mag as well.

Check next months Mojo, Record Collector and Classic rock for Astoria adverts

If TD continue getting good reviews and recognition, I'll have to find another band to follow! :wink:

Fantastic news to see the four star reviews so richly deserved :-)
Out of interest, where was the first review written? (sorry - just back from Holidays).
It's been ages since I read a TD review in Q - I think the last one was the re-release of Tyger, which was also a four-star. I reckon that could be the most influential place for a review to be placed.
He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
