Tangerine Dream chronological review archive blog

Post by bigmoog »

yes, we all know this exists, OK


I must say I find myself shouting :lol: at the computer screen at the wrong headed reviews here.......I totally disagree with most of the reviews.........but then If you first heard thee Pink ears in 1985, you would hate them too.



still, always good to have a TD site and some of the reviews have some verve and passion for the music.

I agree with all of his reviews. I like what he said about Electronic Meditation; "Finally, Resurrection sounds like something a devil worshiper might slap on at a party, with its brooding organs, oppressive atmosphere and Edgar Froese talking backwards." :)

Reviews are always subjective, so it's inevitable my opinions will differ from the writer's from time to time.

That said, these are well written and researched reviews and it's always interesting to read what others have gained from the wonderful music of TD.

I find this to be a very good site too with some interesting facts about each album, etc. I hope it carries on and covers all TDs work!

Never saw it before. Good site. Guess it has to grow a little, so it is a lifetime achievement. :)

Tend to agree. Not much of a fan of reviews. I'm a big fan of Voices In The Net. Sticks to the facts and leaves out the subjective element.

Having said that I do like this archive. Very pleasing on the eye and clearly a lot of work gone into it. Will definitely bookmark it and call in when I can.

alpha centauri:
...but on the whole it is probably impossible to fully appreciate this 'musical journey' unless you are out of your mind on hallucinogenic drugs or piloting a spacecraft through a black hole.
no.

stopped reading after electronic meditation and alpha centauri

edit: lol, i went back for the sake of seeing what i thought would be an inevitable one star review of Cyclone. much to my surprise, he thinks it's better than their ohr records

The part that really made me laugh was the review for EM:

"Ashes to Ashes is a jazzy, psychedelic jam that could have been borderline accessible if it wasn't for what sounds like a six year old girl practicing for her flute exam in the room next door accidentally ending up on the recording."

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
