Tangerine Dream? Who are they?

Post by redziller »

I've given up with the "do you know Kraftwerk?" line because it gives entirely the wrong impression; I think

Now I say "They're the Rolling Stones of electronic music." That way it's obviously not about the music but the stature.

Seem fair?
imho

Imho......dont shoot, dont shi.t yer pants with anger, dont get vile or post trolling shite...but in fact imho,...

Kraftwerk, despite me owning all their albums many times over, are one of the most over rated, most boring, needlessly written about, most cliched, most mechanically poseur riiden fak.e band of all time....imho...feel free to write endless f.b. Posts...

I love them :mrgreen:

Used to bug me when folk said oh Tangerine Dream..a bit like Jean Michel Jarre. :evil:
I used to go off on a spiel about how they were sooooo different a sooooo much better than JMJ..it is nice when some folk say awwwww they were great back in the day.

One thing does happen though and its happened to me twice is folk saying good for listening to with a doob..or a tab.

Yeah there does seem to be that association, seems a bit shallow to me but it's not something I've ever tried so can't judge - bucket list maybe!

But JMJ? That's like comparing the Stones with the Beatles on the strength of their instruments - lame-arse nonsense. And that's a true judgement :wink:
imho

Nah, The Beatles of Electronic music.

Stones, whilst excellent, are just a wee bit too rough around the edges for comparison with the mighty TD :P

I recall someone once saying "If Kraftwerk are the future of pop, Tangerine Dream are the future of rock."

Neither The Rolling Stones or The Beatles of electronic music. A much more suitable comparison both when it comes to stature and the actual music (psychedelia, progression, exploration, refinement, perfection and excellence) is the Pink Floyd of electronic music.
Someone agree? :-)

Yes, I think that's an excellent comparison (and between two incredible bands) ! 8) :D
