I'll start this note since someone else actually has a bunch of stuff
by this band. They aren't heavy metal at all. They are usually found in
the New Age section (near the Windham Hill stuff) and have done quite
the few soundtracks for a lot of movies, for instance:
Wavelength
Thief
Heartbreakers
Legend
Sorcerer (movie about driving nitro glyc. in south/central amer. jung)
Firestarter
3:00 high (bully movie)
The park is mine
Near Dark (vampire type movie w/guy from Millenium)
and at least a few more!
The band is Tangerine Dream, and make for some cool listening if you
just want to vegemate out some evenings or on the way to/from work.
Excellent "head" music in the sense of just floating along with it and
immersing yourself into the ebb and flow of the music.
They've been around since I'd guestimate 1970-ish. Their early music I
find to be very psychedelic/acidy stuff....I much prefer their music
starting around "Green Desert" release which I think was 1973.
Original members include:
Christopher Franke (doing Babylon 5's music nowadays and solo proj's)
Johanne Smoelling
Edgar Froese
These 3 were the mainstay of this band for quite a number of years.
Christopher Franke parted around 1988 and a dude whose first name I
can't recall but last is Haslinger joined the other two for awhile.
Then I believe Johanne parted ways and Edgars son (I think it's his
son) joined and the two (with possibly one other person) put out some
more stuff as Tangerine Dream.
Other releases (off the top of my head, and have in collection):
Tangram
Logos Live
Exit
Underwater Sunlight
Le Parc
Phaedra
Poland (I think that's the title, live stuff)
220 Volt live
Melrose
Canyon Dreams
Rockoon
Stratosphere
White Eagle
Green Desert
The Collectors Edition (2 tape set of some oooold stuff, strange!)
and probably several others I can't think of the titles of. I am very
much into this band for close to 13 years now I'd say, give or take a
couple years. So Carlos, what've you got of them? I have probably half
on tape and the rest on disc.

If you like them, rent Risky Business. They did lots of stuff on that soundtrack and it fits perfectly with the movie, like the choo choo scene at the end... | |||||
| 1220.2 | yup, another soundtrack | SUBSYS::MSOUCY | MentalmETALMike | Mon Mar 31 1997 10:29 | 6 |
I knew there was another I was forgetting about (soundtrack-wise!), I
shoulda just looked inside my Christopher Franke "Raven" disc as it
lists a bunch/if not all, of them.

Mike:
You are missing some of their very best records! Encore, Ricochet,
Alpha Centauri, Atem, Zeit, Force Majeure, Flashpoint, Cyclon, Rubycon,
Phaedra, Pergamon, I have so many.....
FYI, the original lineup was:
Peter Baumann
Edgar Froese
Chris Francke
These guys also have EXCELLENT solo CDs.
I really love them, neven seen them live though......
Carlos
Also Klaus Schultze, who used to be a percussionist in his young
days played in the very first TD record, "electronic meditation".
Schulze then went on his own career with some outstanding records of
his own.

| 1220.4 | I have some of those too! | SUBSYS::MSOUCY | MentalmETALMike | Thu Apr 03 1997 06:20 | 10 |
Carlos,
I do have Phaedra, Ricochet, Force Majeure, Cyclone, Rubycon (I think),
not sure of AC, Atem, Zeit, Flashpoint, or Pergamon (I have so many
also!) and I also have Electronic Meditation. I can't recall all of
them as there are so many of them. I do have a good portion of their
stuff though!

| 1220.5 | Froese and Baumann | KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ | CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862 | Wed Apr 09 1997 19:30 | 12 |
Re .last
If you like them, try to get "Ypsilon in Malasyan pale" or
something like that by Froese and "Romance 76" by Peter Baumann. Both
are some of the best you can find in this genre of music.
BTW, if you can find a more or less reasonable CD copy of the
double album by Klaus Schulze called "X" (it's a purple cover) let me
know, the cheapest I have seen is about $60 and I would like to get
this one.

| 1220.6 | cdnow has it for < $23.00! | SUBSYS::MSOUCY | MentalmETALMike | Thu Apr 10 1997 06:16 | 12 |
Carlos,
Why didn't you try CDNow? They have a TON of stuff by him, and it costs
$22.97 according to their listing, and when I say TON, I mean TON of
his stuff! I can't believe he has that many releases!!! www.cdnow.com
dude, one of the reasons I like them is price, shipping time and mostly
what I can get there that Newbury doesn't have in stock readily half of
the time!

| 1220.7 | BUSY::SLAB | Foreplay? What's that? | Thu Apr 10 1997 06:23 | 6 | |
When you say a ton, do you REALLY mean a ton?
A CD weighs an average of four ounces, including packaging, so
that would be 8000 CD's.
