Tangerine Dream - Ricochet I (1975)

[@ASelbo]

Chris Franke, Edgar Froese and Peter Baumann. I’ll never forget them, got all their early albums. Slow, subtle rythm and paradigm shifts. Many people freaked out and hated them, called them boring and tedious. These people never cared to listen and let emotions flow. Ricochet always had a calming effect on me.❤

[@rebours]

There is no emotion in this, it's just plain sequencing with bland and boring melodies on top 🙄

[@andrewsharpe2587]

The same people who wouldn't appreciate Philip Glass.

[@sinusiridum551]

​@@reboursquali sono gli album dei Tangerine Dream che preferisci ?

[@rebours]

@@sinusiridum551 I just don't like their music, I think it's vastly overrated and it didn't withstand the passage of time (contrarily to a lot of Philip Glass' works since @andrewsharpe2587 mentionned him).

[@sinusiridum551]

​@@reboursse non ti piace, va bene ! Ma Zeit Atem e Phaedra sono eterni !

[@alanhindmarch4483]

I was at Coventry Cathedral 1975 aged 21 and got to see Tangerine Dream, brilliant atmosphere.

[@geneh460]

I am rarely jealous of a concert experience, but...yeah. Seriously jealous. Well done.

[@theshowmanuk]

@alanhindmarch4483 never got to see Tangerine Dream, but was at live bands Gong, Faust, Can and Yamasta East Wind and others at UEA in Norwich. Great times.

[@normanmacfarlane6724]

A landmark concert . How lucky are you to have been present 😂❤

[@PaulJWells]

My first TD concert was in Sheffield City Hall, an perfect venue for acoustics, when they played Tangram. Froese, Franke and Johannes Schmoelling. I think I was 16. Wonderful experience. Not Coventry territory though. I've been lucky enough to have been at other seminal concerts though, so I can't complain....

[@denievans6252]

I was there too! Awesome gig.🎉

[@ideenwerkbw9240]

Nearly 50 years old. And somehow this music fits better to our current digital age than what you can hear today.

Totally agreed sir! ideenwerk ! They are REAL artists NOT computer geeks or AI feeding nonsense into your brain

[@nateeto]

Fit digital age by analogue synth.

[@soarornor]

When I think of Germany and what it represents to me, it’s this era. This was a great gift to the world. Tangerine Dream, Klaus Shulze, Kraftwerk, and Popol Vuh. Coney Plank. Certain albums in the seventies. It was an incredible thing. People think the seventies were all about disco. For me it was this era. Incredible time.

[@pctrobottitley8334]

Absolutely agree,however my favourite album since the mid 70’s remains Force Majeure

[@soarornor]

@@pctrobottitley8334 I haven’t listened to that one in a long time. I’ll give it a spin. I do recall really loving the beginning of that record. There are some interesting things post mid seventies for them. Some of the work they did on the Sorcerer soundtrack was amazing, especially the main theme.

[@soarornor]

@@pctrobottitley8334 Also really love Edgar Froese’s “Epsilon In Maylaysian Pale.” I’m amazed that it’s out of print in its original state.

[@mikebro2557]

Me and my wife saw TD perform Ricochet live at Birmingham Town Hall in 1975, the power of those synths was tremendous, never forget it to this day

[@stevesmyth4982]

So you will remember when a bass tone hit the resonance of the building and it felt like it shook and was about to fall down around you.

[@mikebro2557]

That was my first ever concert at the age of 14 ! It should have been Cockney Rebel a few months earlier, but unfortunately that was cancelled. Sad news recently of Steve Harley's death. C.R. were the first band I got into, however T.D. made an epic 1st live concert. All best.

[@tmichalak1969]

Almost 50 yrs ago these guys were already lightyears ahead with their music ❤

[@yannuku123]

The switch, the real "Ricochet", happens after 8 minutes. But you need to listen the first 8 minutes completely, to feel the real impact of that passage.

[@uwesetzkorn270]

I come from East Germany and TD was one of my first impressions of electronic music. Since then I loved TD and now I wish Edgar Froese would be alive! RIP!

[@exotaras3732]

I knew Ricochet and Rubycon when I was a student, high school. They became the soundtrack of my life.

[@billdirlam744]

This was the album my brother used for his 35mm slide shows. This music works beautifully in that purpose as it does for just about any type of listening pleasure.

[@daviddudson8294]

I was at this concert. It was televised and shown on britsh TV BBC2 almost 1 year after the concert😁

[@David_K_Booth]

I saw them on that tour too. The BBC took video footage of the band at Coventry, but this isn't the audio from that concert. It's the album compiled from several performances on that tour, and it has acoustic drums (and maybe other elements) that were added in the studio later. You'll notice that their hand movements are usually out of sync with the music.

[@peterkukay]

1975 I was a student at Kansas City Art Institute. 3 AM a maverick station somewhere played this tune, & I was spellbound. No local stations ever played it. One thing I've learned about art is, It doesn't matter how good it is, in most cases it's who you know or do you have the $$$ to push it in the market. T.D. has been severely underrated.

[@geraldfriend256]

I mean they do extended meditations, not pop singles right? They make the short lst of 70s tron pioneers w/ Kraftwerk Gary Numan as household names .synth geeks still trying to figure out their hacks

Timeless classic, still gets me after all that time.

[@yfrontsguy]

A truly magical piece of music that has not aged a jot. I bought this album back in the day & it still is to me one of the great compostions of the 20th C. This is the LP studio version with added visuals of the cathedral where they played a live version. How I wish I had seen the classical TD line-up perform !

[@symbiat0]

Holy crap, I came across this by accident: the images at the start are of the old and new Coventry Cathedral where this concert took place. I was born and raised in Coventry but I was just a toddler back then. I heard about this concert years later but never saw footage of it 😂

Back in the early 80's when I was still in school I was in a rental apartment that had an old HiFi console that could somehow play 33 1/2 albums at half speed. Dont ask me how. But when I threw on a TG album not only did it last twice as long, the sound was amazing. I would play that as background while trying to study or get creative [I was a Photography student] . My roomates thought I was nuts.

Yeah a lot of em had 78, 45, 33 1/3 and 16 2/3 rpm which was half speed built in to make it easier to learn riffs etc.

1 April 1975. Chicago. Aragon Brawlroom. 3 dollars. Windowpane. Because Chi town had a reputation for being a guitar fanatics stronghold Edgar gave us all a long jam on his guitar and it was absolutely incredible. The light show was spectacular. One of the best trips ever.
