Wow, highly sophisticated electronic music full of color and contrasts! Thanks for watching! 🥰
I must tell you that Jon Anderson sings a Tangerine Dream song titled Loved By The Sun from the Legend soundtrack. As close to perfection as the musicians and singer have ever been.
@@charleswagner2984 Jon's vocals were added to TD's track without their knowledge or permission (they also never met him at the time). They weren't impressed as they'd already done a demo song with vocals (based on William Blake). I think Jon's vocals are better myself
The Virgin years, is the time when they were with the Virgin Records label, it is a time that I love with works like "Phaedra", "Rubycon", "Ricochet", "Stratosfear", "Cyclone", "Encore", 'Force Majeure", "Tangram", "Exit", "White Eagle", "Logos", "Hyperborea"
They also have several soundtracks from this period and more or less they would end it with their most "known" song, the main theme of the movie "Risky Business"
"Love On A Real Train"
I am not an expert on Tangerine Dream, but I give you my honest opinion.
Now you have to listen, although more than listening to watch (it's on RUclips) Klaus Schulze's song "For Barry Graves", watching it is really cool
Tangerine Dream ❤❤❤ is and remains the Unique Musical Dream in my life. I am addicted to Tangerine Dream music.
Tangerine Dream is a great group. Cloudburst Flight is a truly wonderful electronic based track. I've loved it since the late 70s. Force Majeure is an excellent album.
I saw these guys in Phoenix, Arizona 1986. I love them so much.
Mesa Amphitheatre in 1986 was the 22nd lineup - Stratosfear was the 16th, Force Majeure the 18th. As it used to say on the back of one their t-shirts "Tangerine Dream, always and never the same"
Mate. Thank you. I cannot recommend highly enough the Ricochet album, start to finish. One track per side and it's iconic.
You're welcome! Glad you love TD and thanks for stopping by 😊
Go-to album for me is Logos. Greatest single track is Beach Scene/ Beach Theme, there's about ten versions but the best is from Dream Sequence.
Logos is my favorite TD album. It's amazing.
Logos is the summit of their 1980s work. I'll never forget this concert.
You've got it right, Tangerine Dream's 70s music was sound painting. You should listen to the three remaining tracks on the Stratosfear album (the title track, "The Big Sleep in Search of Hades" and "Invisible Limits"), which are just as evocative of mood and emotion. It's worth noting that most of their live albums from the 70s contained improvised or quasi-improvised music that didn't overlap with their studio albums (from the 80s onwards, things became more structured... and therefore obviously more predictable!😉).
Well... that was a blast from my past!
Great!! Thanks for time traveling with me...😊
TD is one of my all time favorite groups. These guys have TONS of good stuff! They are all master musicians and composers. Edgar Froese was the one constant of all their personnel changes throughout the years, until his passing in 2015. And he's the one responsible for the great electric guitar solo in "Cloudburst Flight". There is a gorgeous song from the _Legend_ motion picture soundtrack, featuring Tangerine Dream and Jon Anderson of Yes, called "Loved by the Sun", which I'm sure would be right up your alley. Nice reactions.
Hi Brandon,
I used to love Tangerine Dream.
Thief, Ricochet and Force Majeure, especially.
Ronnie SCOTLAND 😊
Nice! Hopefully this brought back a good memory or two...🙂
I was pleasantly surprised to see you reacting to my all-time favorite group, Tangerine Dream, not exactly a "mainstream" band. Not too many reactors, to my knowlege, give this band a listen. Welcome to a different style of keyboard playing.
Tangerine Dream was among the early pioneers of synthesized music. Their heyday was in the 1970s and 1980s, but the band's latest incarnation is still going strong more than 50 years later.
If you could be troubled to listen to some of their album side-long compositions, I would recommend either Rubycon or Ricochet as representative of their sound or, for something shorter, Stratosfear, the title track of the album of the same name.
Welcome aboard the Tangerine Dream express. Hope to hear more reactions of this band from you. A group that has released over 100 albums over the years must be doing something right, eh?
Love Ricochet!!
Tangerine Dream have the perfect soundtrack for the intense movie Sorcerer (1977) with Roy Schieder
Ah yes, I saw that one several times on Spotify. They even did Firestarter and Grand Theft Auto music!! Thanks for tuning in Chris..
@@retroreactions.... Yes, Sorcerer was a William Friedkin movie after his exorcist consecration, I think it was one of the best soundtrack from Tangerine Dream containing shorter tracks. They've released many other movie music from 1980, like "Thief" "Wavelength" "Risky Business" "The Keep" "Legend" and more
@@retroreactions.... yes, Sorcerer is an amazing soundtrack... makes the film for sure. Another one that get's missed a lot which is brilliant, that would be the soundtrack to Miracle Mile released in 1988. The movie is brilliant too.
Haha you just fallen in another rabbit hole, you had good suggestions beginning with those two pieces coming from important albums from TD, called their Virgin area, Stratosfear and Force Majeure. Good pick! What can I say, those where among my favorites in the early days, a good mix of electronic with some acoustic instruments (harmonica, acoustic guitar) also Drums (by Klaus Krieger who only stayed for 2 albums ) they used intensively between 1978 from Cyclone to 1979, but then they experimented again with drum machine. Cloudburst Flight is really a great progressive instrumental song, full of different guitars becoming a excellent swirling lead guitar solo before the change in a plateau of calm smoothness, like a beautiful sunset horizon. The main artists for the line up were Edgar Froese (Synth and Guitars) who were the founder of Tangerine Dream and Chris Franke (just Synth) who stayed until 1987 were known as the Sequencers and rythmics master in the group, Peter Baumann is playing on the first song but quitted in 1977 but had a good inspiration on the band I suggest you check his solo works from the 70's. Good choice for start for sure, I know they released so much it's really difficult to choose from. See if you can listen to Ricochet part. 2 1975 and Song of the Whale part. 2 from 1986. Cheers!
I second that 👍especially "Ricochet part 2": a real mind bender!
I saw them in 1979 and they were absolutely amazing live. Loudest show I've ever been to and I was completely entranced for 1½, 2 hours, however long they played (time stopped for the duration). They were pioneers. I'll never stop being grateful for picking up my used copy of Ricochet at Selectadisc in Nottingham on a whim in 1978. Best £1 I ever spent.
I can imagine time stops with their music! 1 pound to fall in love for life, great deal!!
would have been 1978, or 1980 - all tours were cancelled in 1979 as it looked like they were going to split up
You absolutely need to hear both Rubycon and Phaedra by these guys. 🙃
@@pentagrammaton6793 Exactly, they remain the first cornerstones of their huge discography, sequenced!
I remember playing this at the top of Mt Sinai in 1995 waiting for dawn to break ;-) I had mini speakers and the few people around we were "wow, what's this?!". One of their best!
Wow, that was cool, Brandon! I have heard of these guys and I am sure that I’ve even got some of their albums but I’ve never really listened to them. It’s right up my alley too - the first one reminded me of Kraftwerk, and the second gave me hints of Jeff Wayne. I’m out of town right now but I can’t wait to get back home and hear it on my stereo system!
Dave! Happy to hear you enjoyed these also. Yes, they are a must listen on great speakers or headphones. And you have probably 1,000 songs from them to choose from! 😀
Including albums and EPs, Tangerine Dream has released over one hundred albums (not counting compilations and fan releases) over the last five decades. This does not include the 20+ sound tracks, which include Sorcerer, Thief, Legend, Risky Business, The Keep, Firestarter, Flashpoint, Heartbreakers, Shy People and Near Dark. They are still producing content, even after the passing of founder Edgar Froese in 2015.
Hey there, nice to see you! What a mind blowing body of work this band possesses!
I've always thought that the guitar solo in this song is one of the oddest sounding but coolest solos ever recorded. This is for sure one of TDs best songs.Great reaction by the way.
Hey Alan! Yes, that guitar really struck me... Such an intriguing band... Thanks so much for stopping by, for the compliment and for being the first comment on these songs! 🙂 🥇
Edgar's electric guitar was recorded at half speed and then sped up
Cool, very creative and surely a big part of why it sounded so interesting...
Tangerine Dream were the pioneers. Electronic artists could learn from them even today, by restraining digital technology and using organic, hands on techniques. 🙃
Force Majeure used one of the first digital sequencers - the Roland MC-8, especially on the end of the title track
TANGERINE DREAM: masters of synth. Contrary to what has often been said about this band, it was never influenced by 'new age' music. The members themselves disagreed with this popular connection and never hesitated to publicly admit that their two main inspirations have always been 'psychedelic music' and 'jazz fusion'... to which they added a 'conceptual progressive dimension'. The musicians of TANGERINE DREAM were very sensitive to the musical production of two German groups of their time: ASH RA TEMPEL (listen to the eponymous album from 1971 and the album 'Le Berceau De Cristal' from 1975) and POPUL VUH (listen to the albums 'Hosianna Mantra' from 1972 and 'Aguirre' from 1975). Thank you.
I don't know Ash Ra Tempel, but I do know Popol Vuh, if nothing from the Werner Herzog movies, and they're AWESOME! The kind of group that causes a storm of dopamine and serotonin in anyone's brain.
Tangerine Dream's main influence has always been classical music, especially Bach and Mozart, as well more recent minimal composers like Steve Reich, Terry Riley and Phillip Glass
@@AndyKing1963 I don't doubt it for a moment as far as the "main" influence is concerned; I only report a proximity that the members of the group themselves have expressed in interviews. Kind regards.
Nice to see you get introduced to Tangerine Dream. I’ve listened to them for years, and between studio/live/soundtracks, I’ve got probably 50-60 albums! They have so much diversity. A few of my favorite albums are Underwater Sunlight (1986), Lily On The Beach (1989), Melrose(1990), and soundtrack Canyon Dreams (1991). Sooo much more for you to discover! 😊
My intro to them was when I saw A CLOCKWORK ORANGE in 1978.
QUITE the introduction I must say... 50-60 DANG!!!! Yea, I better do daily Tangerine reactions to get through their discography by 2050!!
Oh wow, they are in that movie? I too saw that (traumatizing!) movie in around 1996, so I guess technically I've heard them before!
@@retroreactions.... I believe that the music from the Clockwork Orange from 1972 were from Wendy Carlos first master of the Moog Modular synth, who released "Switched on Bach" in 1969, first popular attempt to put classical music to synthesizer.
@@retroreactions.... Tangerine Dream began around 1969 with an album called "Electronic meditation" that is as experimental as Ummagumma from Pink Floyd, they became ambient immediately after on "Zeit" "Alpha Centaury" around 1970, they begun to be more popular with their Virgin records from 1974 with "Phaedra" and "Rubycon" that are still strongly loved by the early fans, that brought in the Sequencer in electronic music. They never stopped releasing albums until today, but the line up changed completely with the death of Edgar Froese in 2015. A long band adventure with many changes along the road.
Oh wow now Tangerine Dream.
Controversial take I'm sure, but try anything from Underwater Sunlight, and Smile and/or London from the Tyger album.
Another great track from _Tyger_ is "Alchemy of the Heart". I just love that one so much.
Saw them three times and will see them again this December. I love the new lineup. They end each concert with a 30-40-minute improvisation in the vein of the 70s.
Wow, so awesome for you! I will have to find a recent live video of them performing to see it all with my eyes. Thanks for watching!
I am aware of this band. Did you say they have over 100 albums?? Ok, that is just insane. I feel like this is the kind of music you want to listen to on high definition stereo equipment. Not headphones. Like you want surround sound, in a large room. It's music you need to experience. Not just listen to.
YES!! Their Wiki discography page is insanity!! What a history the band has had. Can I join?? 🤣🤣 Great point. Sadly I have no such sound system. Have you heard of the new "Sphere" music venue in Vegas? Would be so cool to hear this music there in loud high def, with insane visuals surrounding you on that mega screen!! 😍
I have not heard of the sphere. That would be so cool to check that out. I sadly don't have that great of a system. One day I will. Great video. I LOVE electronic music. Really seems timeless, as well.
I'd love to see a concert there, Super innovative building. Check out U2 playing there...the screen in INSANE! ruclips.net/video/I_6dP__QwqU/видео.htmlsi=u9lc1xEOBOVlJXYO
Here's the outside! ruclips.net/video/IjALZGztUh4/видео.htmlsi=MIAOfYThxVuQ-fWT
Cool. Thank you.
For me, every album from the Virgin Years period is very good and definitely worth listening to. I love these records (for example "Sorcerer", "Exit").
The prospect of 100 albums is just scary...
I knew about their film music work but never listen to any of their records.
Not a fat chance that these two change this state of affairs!
Cheers my dear!
Your homework is to listen to all 100 albums and email me an essay on everything by Friday! 😉
@@retroreactions.... Hi hi hi 🤣 Like a tangerine stream of consciousness?
Good morning Brandon, I would like an extension of the deadline since after a brief calculation it will take me 16 days without sleep to complète the assignement, if I can manage it without being hospitalised or deadline. Would you kindly consider it?@@retroreactions....
😂😂😂
5 days left to finish the assignment!!!
Awesome, two of my favorites! 💖💖 Hard to describe or compare because they pretty much invented their own genre? They will definitely grow on you with repeated listening over time. A good friend gave me the Stratosfear album as a high school graduation present way back in 1977. (thanks Sue! 🤗) Tangerine Dream is one of the main culprits, probably THE biggest influence, that has caused me to purchase more step sequencers than anyone would ever need to own! (but I still want MORE! 😭😂) EDIT: Actually Larry Fast's Synergy albums are tied for first place for my sequencer obsession! 🥰🥳
Quite the experience my friend! Their own genre sounds about right. I see they had a big influence on you creatively. Excited for more, but I wanna hear so much lol, like the Parks album and I think there was one about China....etc etc etc 😊
@@retroreactions.... Yeah, way too much music to get to! 😅 Man, if you called your channel just "1973 Reactions" you'd have a hard time getting through all the good stuff in a reasonable amount of time! 🤭 Larry Fast's Synergy is a "must" IMHO and I may just request a set sometime! (his electronic music is more like 70's prog rock, Western music symphonic, etc., especially the first 3 albums)
Sounds like a plan!!
"The Knife" live version, thanks dude
🤭
@@retroreactions.... Do BOTH tomorrow?! 😁😁 The studio first and then the live, a fun comparison and a special treat for the last song on the studio album? 🥳
@@retroreactions.... u r a scared child LOL, the guy who has that video is a normal user who uploaded it 7 month ago, if he wasn't blocked, WHY you should be blocked ?
Time will tell............😁
YES LOL!....I don't want my channel to go nowhere....sometimes some creators don't get blocked whereas others do for the same exact song or video. Who knows how that works?
And now, for something completely different…..😏 parts had Vangelis vibes to me. Certain synth timbres. (Can you use the word timbre for instruments as well as for the voice? I’ve never seen it used for instruments but I cannot think of a better word to describe what I mean).
Different for sure! Yup, timbre works for instruments too 😊 JMJ, Kraftwerk and Vangelis always superb comparisons!!
the last TD studio album in the best line-up of Froese, Franke, Baumann, it was difficult to repeat the level of Ricochet, but Stratosfear was a very pleasant surprise.
In fact, Chris Franke is the drummer, which was heard at Alpha Centauri
CHRISTOPHER FRANKE - "" Inside The Morphing Space "" Original Member of Tangerine Dream in this Amazing Cinematic Masterpiece from 1993 this is 21 minutes of Music Experience. The late 70s and 80s Influence is brought here and yes it has Drums & Bass throughout + an array of Electronic Ethereal Soundscapes. And are Super Amazing in every level. Fantastic from beginning to end. Highly recommend it. I got more artist on the next Comment very similar to Jean M Jarre and Tangerine Dream
Hello Brandon. I recommend Klaus Schulze. He is one of the pioneers of elektronic music and probably one of the few who can convey a touch of emotion in electronic music. He was involved in the first Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel albums, but had a very successful solo career from 1971 onwards.
You should first listen to NOWHERE - NOW HERE from his soundtrack album BODY LOVE II, which is a very good example of his art of combining different emotions in one song. In just under 29 minutes you will experience a musical emotional journey from foreplay to orgasm. ( It is the soundtrack to a soft porn film by Lasse Braun ) It reminds me a bit of the construction of Ravel's Bolero.
For me as a fan and collector of electronic music since the 70s, this piece is the best this genre has ever had to offer. A must hear for every who love electronic music.
I would also like to warmly recommend ROBERT SCHRÖDER - HARMONIC ASCENDENT. This beautiful song is accompanied in places by a chello and acoustic guitar, which gives the piece a warming melancholy. With this piece you have the wonderful feeling of bathing in the music. No wonder, because the producer of his 1st album was Klaus Schulze. It has a little bit of early Mike Oldfield vibes.
Many greetings from Bavaria/ Germany.
David Arkenstone, who you reacted to a few months ago (an incredible multi-instrumental wizard and composer), has a very similar style in much of his work. Now give a listen to Ryan Farish - another amazing composer/multi instrumentalist musician with a HUGE catalog - "Northern Lights": ruclips.net/video/XYyWtIl2jAU/видео.html
FYI...if you ever wath The Weather Channel, you've heard his alluring melodies.
Uh oh, another rabbit hole it sounds like! Looks like his first album was in the 2000s though..
Thanks for watching!
@@retroreactions.... React if you want, but listen on your own if you simply want to relax. Keep 'em coming.
1975-1977 their peak period with a resurgence from 1980-1982. Recommend Ricochet album from 1975 and live from Nottingham, England Nov.1976 (Volume 1 of the Tangerine Tree archive of live concerts.
You had exactly the reaction I anticipated you having with Tangerine Dream. Your brain is not prepared for the kind of stimuli that their music gives and doesn't know what to make with them and of them. They are truly unique, there's no one even in the Kraut rock scene that can be compared to them (maybe Popol Vuh, but they're much more melodic). However, I must warn you that perhaps by chance, you chose two very atypical tracks. The "typical" TD (if there is such a thing with such a chameleonic band) is VERY dark. Heavy, but not in the same sense as one says "heavy metal". Dense. Gloomy, charged with anguish, and a sense of urgency before some kind of doom. There's a reason why I define TD's music as "the soundtrack to the end of the world".
TD appeared in Berlin, or more precisely, at that time, *West* Berlin. An island of capitalism, wealth, and freedom in the middle of the grim Iron Curtain. A city that had already been blockaded once, and it had been a time of great deprivation. A city surrounded on all sides by an impenetrable, heavily militarized wall. A place where the Cold War was not just something you read about in the news and a distant threat that you tried not to think too much about. The Cold War was part of the day-to-day experience in West Berlin, and everyone there was keenly aware that if the muted East-West confrontation ever heated up, they'd be the first victims. To escape that, Berlin developed a hedonistic spirit that still survives in the reunified city, as they tried to live each day as if it were the last - because they knew very well that it really might be. But TD didn't create music for that hedonism. They created music to illustrate the undercurrents that the Berlin hedonism tried to hide. If you had taken "Ricochet" or "Phaedra", for example, you'd have a completely different first impression of TD.
And they were incredibly influential. Not in the same sense as their also immensely influential compatriots, Kraftwerk (who were from Düsseldorf, the extremely wealthy epicenter of the West German postwar "economic miracle", and had a completely different outlook of things). Kraftwerk can be credited with teaching the world how to make music with electrons, as I said when you reacted to "Autobahn", and they practically wrote the instructions manual (especially in the more experimental "Radio Activity"), but they did so in a way that favored its incorporation into mainstream music - which, in turn, did exactly that. But it was TD that created the fine details. Their work with sonic textures originated the tone you still hear today in virtually all electronic arrangements. You can still hear A LOT of TD in today's EDM. You'll listen to a lot of TD's techniques and sonic textures in any rave you go to. TD were never meant to be popular stars, but they were a band of musicians who played for other musicians - who listened attentively.
On a related but different note, I was amused with that part when you said that it could be background music, but at the same time you didn't want it to be in the background. That's practically the definition of ambient music as described by Brian Eno in the liner notes of his historic "Music for Airports" album! Is TD's work "ambient music"? Parts of it can be perceived and used as such, but it wasn't deliberate as Eno's ambient work was. When you get to Eno, you'll understand what I mean. (Incidentally, or maybe not, Eno spent a couple of years in Berlin in the late 1970s, as did David Bowie - and together they made the legendary "Heroes" there. I don't know if Eno and TD had any direct contact, but Eno probably listened to them, and it's anyone's guess whether either of them influenced the other.)
Yea, by this point I think you know my musical mind fairly well! Wow, so they get much darker? You know I'm there for that. Very helpful to know the context from which the band was born, and how far reaching their art truly was/is. A good reminder that Eno needs to be on my channel...Thanks for watching this one Goytá and for the always highly insightful comment!
David and Iggy lived with Edgar Froese for two weeks when David’s apartment was being prepared. He and Edgar were friends from 1976-1978 and would meet up every week. David didn’t like TD but loved Edgar’s solo albums, especially Epsilon in Malaysian Pale. He also knew Peter Baumann (as did Iggy). Edgar recorded a private session with Eno and Bowie but it’s never been released, he also flew out to the Chateaux for David’s album, but wasn’t called to add anything, so left the next day.
@@AndyKing1963, thank you very much for that interesting information. That may explain a lot.
Wee bit of a Kraftwerk vibe--that's a good thing
Yes, reminiscent but still kind of their own thing. I can't imagine how many great "transportive" songs they have...
All of kraftwerk went to see TD play a concert in 1976, Irmin Schmidt from Can was also in the audience
Awesome!
Suggestion, Michael Hoenig & Manuel Gottsching - Early Water
Yes, there are a lot of releases by TD but beyond their 1984 release of Poland it's gets pretty commercial and/or non-inspiring, and after around 1991 the name of the band should have been changed for reasons of musical direction and later for the fact that there were no original members. They were a pioneering EM band starting out very, very experimental with no discernible melodies or rhythms. Those were gradually introduced on the 1974 release of Phaedra. Most of the experimental elements disappeared on 1980's Tangram, giving way to lush melodies and sequenced rhythms. They are definitely one of the most important EM bands that inspired a lot of the 90's EM. (Depeche Mode were more inspired by Kraftwerk)
Yup I remember that transition to Melrose, Lily on the Beach etc. Awful. I saw them a few years back at Camden Roundhouse was utterly brilliant. None of the original members, but completely got the classic sound and a near 3hr concert with a brilliant 25min original track (to me) in the classic style as the encore
Nah their latest albums are great
WOLFGANG BOCK - "" CYCLES (1980) (2022 Remastered) "" One Continuous 19 minute Cinematic Electronic Space Synth Song. You can hear the Influences of Tangerine Dream later 70s and Jean M. Jarre 1976 oxygene in this Classic Masterpiece that includes Drums and Synth Bass too. Also Ethereal Soundscapes that are other worldly Spacecy Electronic Soundscapes through out. Absolutely AMAZING just like Tan Dream & J.M Jarre highly recommend this classic (1980) (Remastered)
I agree. A very good song and album. Much better than Synthie-Popper J.M.Jarre.
there's nothing like the dream... just copies. I've always said, the German's have the best music... just ask Bach and Beethoven to name a few.
With the addition of Johannes Schmoelling, the Dream developed a sleeker sound that embraced the new digital technology. The albums -- notably 'Exit' (1981), 'Logos' (1982), 'Poland - The Warsaw Concert' (1984), and 'Le Parc' (1985) -- are more melodic, rhythmically sophisticated and tighter structured. Schmoelling left to be replaced by the classically trained Paul Haslinger on 'Underwater Sunlight' (1986). The poetry of William Blake is set to music on 'Tyger' (1987). 'Optical Race' (1988) is one of the Dream's most accessible releases. 'Melrose' (1990) is one of the better examples of the band's immersion in adult-alternative-electronic pop, picking up where their previous, very engaging disc, 'Lily on the Beach,' left off. By the early '90s, Edgar Froese had revamped the group's lineup and brought his son, Jerome Froese, on board as his musical partner. The fascinating 1993 album '220 Volt Live' was recorded on Tangerine Dream's 1992 North American tour. Soundtrack highlights include 'Thief', 'Firestarter,' 'Risky Business,' 'Legend,' 'Near Dark,' and 'Canyon Cazuma.' - All Music Guide and The Rough Guide to Rock (edited excerpts)
As beautiful as these 2 themes are, TD created tons of wonderful music in the 70s and 80s, after that is a mixed bag… I would recommend Ricochet or Rubycon next… Encore, Tangram, Poland, Phaedra, Force Majeure, Logos, White Eagle are all fantastic… and this is only a small sample…
Maybe I don’t know much about music, but is boring.
All good, we know what we like and what we don't. This is definitely outside the box music and I see that it would not appeal to tons of people. Thanks so much for giving it a try!
@@retroreactions.... you’re a cool dude…thanks
