[@myhandlehasbeenmishandled]

Love it. Reminds me of Mass Effect. Miss the good old times playing it for hours with no worries of what tomorrow brings.

[@k0nanick]

Reminds me of early Jarre...

[@Mopantsu]

TD and Jarre

[@stateazure]

That'll be the Eminent strings through small stone phaser sound. He used that a ton of Oxygen and Equinoxe.

[@Wolfbabypuppylove]

Blimey thought for a second last rendezvous lovely work Pat.

[@chitlun]

@@stateazureHad a jam on Saturday and my pal brought over the Behringer Solina clone. When he hit the phaser, it was instant Oxygene/Equinox Jarre… Such an evocative sound!

[@stateazure]

Yeah, love that sound, very spacey!@@chitlun

[@robstammers7149]

The spirit of Edgar, Chris and Pete are everywhere in this track... Regards Rob.

[@ragnarlobrook8228]

And Klaus Schulze, Manuel Göttsching, Johannes Schmoelling, Michael Hoenig, Roedelius & Moebius, Florian Fricke, Conny Planck, Harald Grosskopf, Pete Namlook...

[@robstammers7149]

@@ragnarlobrook8228 point taken, but for me Froese, Frank, Baumann were the originals /originators. The rest just followed.

[@ragnarlobrook8228]

@@robstammers7149 You are wrong. Franke (not Frank, as you says) & Baumann are not at original lineup. Original members are Edgar Froese, Klaus Schulze and Conrad Schnitzler. Schulze is prior to Franke & Baumann in the original Tangerine Dream. Klaus Schulze (1969-1970); Chris Franke (1970-1987); Peter Baumann (1972-1977). See history of group. You don't know. On the other hand, you have not understood the meaning of my answer. The other artist names I'm referring to, except for Klaus Schulze, Johannes Schmoelling and Michael Hoenig, none of them played with Tangerine Dream, but with other bands like Ashra Tempel, Cluster and Popol Vuh. He mentions them because they also represent the Berlin School of Electronic Music and also participate in its spirit and essence. You have not understood anything and you have remained on the surface, like a simple late fan boy who does not know the history of the group and does not even know the names of its members.

[@kentborges5114]

Very GOOD ! Sounds like Kraftwerk going ambient ! LOVE IT !

[@abdool1972]

Thanks for showing us your POV. I'm a complete novice at this but my takeaway was how many subtle improvisational tweaks you make along the way - always exploring. Very cool !

[@MartinLueders]

Fabulous! Big "Berlin school" fan here. I always love the sound of those 70s instruments (or their emulations).

[@florin_doru]

Thank you for this beautiful piece of music.

[@jamesstevens2362]

Absolutely brilliant! Loved every second. Thank you!!

[@janhavelka5081]

You really know how to do it!! Another great sounding track!

[@tcrutch65]

Giving me goose bumps 😄

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Gorgeous track, love these old school sounds…

[@J.Hermansson]

Sound like very old TD, when Schulze was part of the band, great piece!

[@MA-eq7ep]

What a fabulous track ❤ - Hope this goes up on Bandcamp

[@itinerantghost]

Wow, This is excellent, as usual.

[@zekehayward7643]

Sounds amazing as usual!!

[@ragnarlobrook8228]

Amazing!

[@isanvicente1974]

pure berlin school... marvellous no more coments needed ...

[@pngz]

You are such an inspiration… Started dabbling with ableton this week, and my tiny midi keyboard is arriving tomorrow. Hope I’m going to have at least 10% as much fun making my own music as listening to yours. Thanks for all your music and videos.

[@stateazure]

Thank you! Hope you have fun!

[@Lenamusic]

I am in love this 💫💫💫❤💯🌠🎹

[@amangogna68]

Fantastic music sound !

[@mischamim744]

super 👌

[@synkrotron]

perfect! 🙂👍 nuff said!

[@A-Name-101]

Awesome.

[@paulk4662]

This is the kind of stuff i like.

[@Chip_57]

Awesome. Edgar would be proud

[@chitlun]

Wonderful stuff man! Isn’t Bitwig such a fluid, creative piece of kit… You do make it look easy though.

[@IvanBrain]

Nice music 👍🏻

[@eddyvideo]

Old school is cool !

[@Hoerschwelle71]

Fantastic. Inspiring. Grew up in the GDR, I had almost no access to interesting records. But at the age of 14 I was the proud owner of a Tangerine Dream record. Since then I've been a fan of such music. ...: D And that brought me to electronic music, and in the end to Bitwig. Most options offer this.

[@zheobitt]

Great work 👍

[@stateazure]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jdnorthrup]

And nary an arpeggiator in sight!

[@tcrutch65]

Thanks!

Thank you!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@RobertLiveMusic]

Berlin School awesome

[@Dadhus1]

This is weird. I made a track about twenty five years ago to play to my unborn son when he was still in the womb and your track is so similar, it's quite unnerving. I had heard somewhere that babies can recognise their parents voice, even in the womb and ..one thing leads to another ... I burnt it to cd and had a tube and funnel arrangement I would stick on his mother's belly and play it every night to try to communicate with him. (Haha, I was a bit of a Hippy, right?) Just played your video to my wife and she doesn't believe this isn't my 'Baby Music' (working title 😂) track. It sounds so much like yours, it's almost identical. Similar rhythmic percussion, same pitch bends, sweeping pads, very similar melodies, BPM, etc. It's spooky. However, my entire track was done using just a Roland MT32 and an early version of Cubase. So here I am, mind partially blown and just thought I'd let you know this has been a very strange but pleasant surprise. Great music, by the way.😁

[@lelandpalmer-et4cu]

Oooohhhhhh nice^)

[@moonandmelodies]

🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

[@bertenqvist7324]

If i would be an teenager I would dig it,.. like Tangerine Dream in 1975 who had only access to plugins.

[@user-jo3db1pq2u]

Very, Very, Very, GOOD 🙂🙃😉

[@Android-Zen]

If someone told me this was made by Pete Namlook I would probably believe them.

[@c.augustin]

Would "groovy" be a good characterization? I don't know, but this "challenge" worked out very well in my regards!

[@Bhodisatvas]

Stunning!! 💓

[@franckrobert282]

Le soliste est fait avec le Minimonsta Soft L.. ? C’est trop merveilleux l’Artiste❤

[@Mopantsu]

I wonder if TD and Jarre were influenced by the Berlin school. Probably a silly question.

[@macronencer]

I'm pretty sure Jarre was influenced by Klaus Schulze, and I expect TD were as well.

[@hvcomputech]

I’d say the were Berlin School.

[@zheobitt]

​@@macronencerJarre was more influenced by classic music, as far as i know. Klaus Schulze made so called Krautrock in his early years. Similar to Tangerine Dream, Ashra, Can and some others.

[@MartinLueders]

I think you can't say that TD was influenced by Berlin school. The early TD, together with Klaus Schulze, and a few others defined what we now call Berlin school, as at their time they were based in Berlin.
