WHEN & HOW DID YOU BECOME A TD FAN?

[timer]

Read my review of Rubycon!

Yeah nice site Pertou! I am amazed that it was Rubycon that got you into Tangerine Dream as late as 2002! - COOL!

It seems that Rubycon is an effective way to introduce people to the band?

Id personally agree with that, although Ive found more people receptive to Logos,

It was late 79 my mate and I were buying anything electronic after getting hooked on Equinoxe, He got hold of Force Majeure loved it the rest is history although it might have been a different story if he had got a earlier album first.

My first experience with TD was when my brother gave me a copy of Rubycon. He'd just come back from an exchange trip to France and it was the only thing he could see in the shops that he thought I might like. At the time I was a huge Zep, Floyd,Yes and Purple fan and Tangerine Dream was about the closest thing he could find to them in the French record shops.

I put the record on and was not impressed. There was all this choral wailing stuff, monotonous bass rhythms, violin drones and waves crashing on a shore. What the chuff!!! What's happened to the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo-verse-chorus-fade. Where's the chuffing guitar solo or, failing that, keyboard solo. Well at least there's no drum solo.

Said "errrr...thanks" to my brother and put the damn thing away and tried to forget about it.

Except of course it kept finding its way onto the record player (remember them). It became a bit of a guilty pleasure. God help me if any of my mates had caught me listening to it.

Obviously, with time, I saw the error of my ways and started investing in the rest of the TD catalogue. I actually became proud of the fact I liked a band that nobody else seemed capable of fathoming.

Have to agree Chris I always got a sinister satisfaction out of liking the band no one else understood.

Hello to everyone,
I'm new on this forum but I'm Tangerine Dreamer since 1996, were I heard on the radio a segment from "Rubycon part II" and since then, never looked back!
Although I remember back in 1983, that in the tv news had presentations from the Athens Lycavetus concert. I remember I was impressed by seeing those men with the huge racks around them and the big projection circle behind them. I was 10 years old back then, and since my mother was (and is) big JM Jarre fan, the electronic music sound was a familiar thing for me.
These days I'm listening ALOT to "Mars Polaris" by the way.....
Keep on (Tangerine) Dreaming

I'm sure that Madcap's Flaming Duty would be the very best one to introduce someone new to TD.

Definite agreement there Jason. Summertime in Nagasaki too.

BTW - welcome to the forum Nick - the early eighties is my favourite era of TD's.

[whiteeagle]

thanks everyone for the warm welcome,
after all, I can't decide which TD era is my favorite -70's? 80's? -90's? -00's?
4 decades almost of TD -Maybe their real impact was from 1970 untill early 80's and are my most favorite ages to be honest.
BTW TD were more famous in Greece in the late 70's early 80's, than now
-think that the 1997 concert here, was canceled due to poor ticket sales much to our disappointment

Anyway let's go everyone and do a vote to coax Edgar Froese to release a book about TD
And to include A LOT technical info about TD equipment PLEASE
Cheers

P.S. Our sympathies to everyone in England that was struct by these big floods

[bigmoog]

when :before I understood


the how : by being open to oscillating musical magic created by frightening adults with out there insight into the meaning of no holds barred creativity
