TANGERINE DREAM - ONE NIGHT IN SPACE
TOTAL RUNING TIME - 12.18
01. ONE NIGHT IN SPACE 6.56
02. I COULD HEAR IT WHEN THE MOON COLLAPSED ON BROADWAY 5.20
Composed and performed by Edgar Froese, 2007
One Night In Space was played last night in Frankfurt, with Bernhard's guitar replacing the lead synth. It's a nice, up-tempo piece, fairly simple in structure and quite typical of TD's current output. It starts off sounding like a soundtrack piece from the late 80's, with a repeating, 4-note bassline and slap-bass! Beats are punchy, with layers of rapid percussion and traditional chord structures. This has a very full sound and lush production, and is really suited to being a good live track.
Track 2 (we'll just call it that!) starts of with a bizarre kind of stuttering rhythm before the drums and synth pads quickly kick in bring some sense of order. This is the slower of the two pieces, more relaxed with a striking, swirling lead line rooted in a human voice. As is quite typical of Edgar's work, once the rhythm is established, it doesn't change too much. Synths effects and other layers come and go, adding different colours to the track...but the momentum remains the same. This pieces ends very quickly, just when you were hoping it would carry on, so be warned!
Neither track are anything massivley new or ground-breaking, but both have their different qualities, and are certainly indicative of the upturn in the quality of TD's output. Both pieces are really well produced, with lots of subtle layers and instruments vying for your attention. Definitely worth getting.
