Seems like yet another failed musician what a TOSSER24db wrote:Mick's going to love this one I haven't corrected the journalist's slightly weird gramma (why should I they never correct mine ):

THE important factors in electronic music are creativity and innovation. This the Tang’s umpteenth album has neither. Despite its sophisticated production and laborious construction it never emerges from the background.
Title track is repetitive. This can be used as a rhythmic background as solid base to build on but here is bland, Opens with Mellotron strings and runs through the range of standard sounds. Tempo heats up. You wait for the explosive climax, but it never comes.
Title The Big Sleep In Search Of Hades too appropriate. Features clichéd sci-fi sounds of space and emptiness complete with echoing heavenly choir and imitation in corporeal violin, Chris Franke then overlays flute, the effect, a bad Kung Fu movie without the violence—undramatic.
Second side better. Begins with best track 3 am At The Border Of The Marsh From Okefenokee. Played with more emotion than other tracks is good at communicating cold, damp feeling. Steaming bubbling noises back a distant depressing southern states harmonica. Final track Invisible Limits is an unhealthy musical mish-mash of elements of previous tracks. Over half a side long, this seems a waste of space.
Tangerine Dream have made stunning, daring albums in the past, This time they didn’t risk going too near the edge. Better pretentious than mundane.
