Tangerine Dream

I can refrain from doing this no longer

So........... if THEY ( ie the ministry of stupid laws) introduced a law to limit ownership of Tangerine Dream albums to three only what would your three MUST HAVE Dream albums be???

After giving this much thought and struggling with the magnitude of this task, here's mine

1) PHAEDRA (nuff said)
2) FORCE MAJEURE (1st Dream album I bought and STUNNING, STUNNING, STUNNING)

and

the controversial one probably, and the most difficult choice because there are so many choices for position 3...............

3) TANGRAM (play it all the time!!!!!!!!!)


I'm off to check I've got this correct




PS Rubycon and Ricochet at 3.1 and 3.2
PPS Thought I'd do this before all the new stuff started to encroach.


Please give this a go, be very interested to hear your views, even if you have done this before

1. Force Majeure (1979)
2. DM4 (2003)
3. Purgatorio (2004)


or

1. Booster
2. One Times One
3. Autumn In Hiroshima .... why not

1 Deadly Care
2. Catch me if you can
3. Zoning

Personally I would put The Hollywood Years vol. 2 on number 1

I did expect at least ONE Melrose Years album in that selection?

Jacob ....you must have a very good memory. I picked those three off the top of me head so.

1. Melrose
2. Optical Race
3. Ambient Monkeys.. how could I forget this classic.

1. Rubycon
2. Logos
3. Poland

Poland
Logos
Rocking Mars

in no particular order:


Alpha Centauri/Atem double album virgin reissue, so that counts as one
Zeit
Phaedra



the above describe Tangerine Dream, forever



I would include Rubycon, but I wont

1. Alpha Centauri
2. Rubycon
3. Logos

But I think it's a heaven-sent invention that nowadays we can store 50-60 TD albums on just one tiny 4GB SD card.

1. Poland
2. Exit
3. Underwater Sunlight

... for now ...

(PS. Would I be allowed Tangents as one? )

latest 3



Rubycon
Ricochet
Stratosfear




three albums that encapsulate TD in themselves in a point in space time that every EM fan/musician references and will always reference

Stratosfear
Encore
Phaedra
