Tangerine Dream

Currently available from the TDOC as 192kbs mp3 downloads.

Does anyone know what these are? I haven't played the original in ages so I can't say if they're alternative takes, left-overs, extensions or just what the band originally intended...but there seems to be some new music on there. Either way they're fantastic

go for it mate...I'm pretty sure there's a few bits and pieces that are different...and I'm not talking about the T word either, these are done with the original instruments

At the moment it difficult to pinpoint any major differences as the track times are a little different,may need your expertise AK with the earphones on

Wow.

Well I was pretty happy with TDOC the way it was. This is the icing on the cake. Not listened to it fully yet but it sounds great.

every track is shorter, but that's only natural when you go back to the master tapes and do new fades. It's noticable that Edgar has done new fades into the tracks as well

there's been some VERY subtle changes done on some of these tracks. take the track 'Vengence' on the original there's a little white noise 'cymbal' sound that follows the same bass sequencer pulse, on the newer version it's gone, actually the whole timbre of the bass has changed, whether this has been redone or has just been filtered is neither here or there.

Saved the download using Windows Media Player which seems to have characterised the music as Chamber Music.

ironic considering Edgar has added a little echo (chamber) to some of the tracks

I agree....the hiss is gone...but some of the tracks are far quieter than they used to be...but that's a fair price to pay to get them is such good quality. All IMHO of course

Neither am I, I think it's a good move from TD. Anything that gets people to re-listen to the old stuff in a fresh way is good in my books

~careful~ listening~has~produced this result~


Sorceror is still awe inspiring magick

I totally agree with that.

I do think it's a shame that TD haven't taken a few liberties with the music but suspect that I'm probably in the minority on that. There are several tracks that are just crying out to be extended or worked up into suites (IMO).
