I can beat that for stupidnesswayfarer wrote:You can imagine how I feel.

I agree 100%. I liked the way Near Dark used the music too. Violent and shocking, brilliantly emotionally coloured by TD's music. I'd like to see The Keep again, I used to have it on an old video tape.cantosis wrote:Can`t remember to be honest, I think it was the Risky Business movie which really got my attention. I love the feel of that movie and how the music is used. It really stops the movie from being an average 80s teen flick to being one of the best comedy movies of the 80s INMHO.
Music can really leave deep impacts when watching movies. Platoon is another movie where the music really made it stand out from other war movies of the 80s
Whilst it's not my favourite TD album, I have to agree, Rubycon is utterly unique and still astounds some 30 plus years after it was recorded. I was listening to it the other day and realised, not for the first time, that I've never heard anything quite like it since. Many have tried but none have got anywhere close.epsilon75 wrote:Heard Rubycon at a mates in 1978/9 and was amazed at the sheer brilliance contained on that vinyl,i was heavily into rock and punk at the time and had never heard anything quite like it.
30 years on and countless fantastic TD releases have graced my ears,but Rubycon still amazes me to the current day and has a special place in my heart,its an incredible album IMHO.
When i was at school i was that strange lad !!!!har wrote:This strange lad at school brought in Phaedra to play in music last day before christmas hols, must have been about 1977.
The seed was sown.
Saw him walking about carrying Cyclone LP. That album cover!
First holiday abroad, with woman, saw Force Majeure on cassette, spanish version, bought it, ( complete c.rap quality )instant love
So thanks to Maurice, the strange lad, who departed Earth early 80s and heard no more Tangerine Dream
I have the same opinion of Rubycon, not a favourite but an absolute triumph. I see it as the icing on the cake that was Phaedra. For me Phaedra was pioneering and experimental, TD were still discovering the possibilities of the technology. Froese, Franke and Baumann took forward what Phaedra started and made a complete, perfect sphere of an album called Rubycon. It is unique and superb.Chris Monk wrote:Whilst it's not my favourite TD album, I have to agree, Rubycon is utterly unique and still astounds some 30 plus years after it was recorded.
