As a lifelong fan of Tangerine Dream, and with Logos as one of my top favourites of theirs, I must say that this cover, this homage, is delightfully done. I am sure that Edgar would have been thrilled with it.

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you kindly! 🙏

[@allentyler4577]

Came here to say exactly this! Fantastic performance. They nailed it all round including the mix.

[@idj20]

Edgar must be looking down in pride from his current cosmic address. Very well done.

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you for listening! 🙏

[@hoosierhobbies]

I know this song backwards and forwards...and it surprised me how they pulled this off flawlessly! Happy to see these young musicians cover this song! And they did it with actual instruments...not synthesizers!

[@mvjonsson]

Great cover! I hope Johannes Schmoelling and Chris Franke will see this video.

[@EpsilonProcess]

And maybe even Edgar from his change of cosmic address :)

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you for listening! 🙏 Me too :)

[@geraldwagner8739]

I‘ve watched this video now for so many times and I’m still so impressed how these young musicians with their classic instruments catch the mood and spirit of this electronic masterpiece by Tangerine Dream. It’s fantastic!

[@sarge2742]

This is even more haunting than the original! Everyone involved should be very proud.

[@diniba50]

Made me cry...... All is not lost! I wish Edgar could see/hear it too!

[@bobbyneal6322]

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for sharing this, one of my personal favorite TD pieces! W0W!! I'm blown away!!! What an excellent reproduction of the original, done by those who care, & know TD's music! Thanks again!!!! 💝💞💖

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you kindly! 🙏 Yes I agree that the details in this typ of music, is very important!

[@chrisjenkins6687]

Awesome, as usual. Thomas is a genius and the kids are all stars. And it just goes to show how much complexity and ingenuity there is in the original compositions.

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you kindly! 🙏

[@user-qn5wh6wo3m]

Totally fantastic rendition of Logos. I was blown away by the arrangement. Gave me goosebumps several times just like the original did. Brilliant!

[@centinel8944]

Amazing. As a TD fan for more than 40 years, all I can say this is absolutely amazing. Perfectly performed. Honoring the name of Edgar Froese. Thanks for what you do.

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you kindly! 🙏

[@EpsilonProcess]

Kudos to Thomas, all the students and anyone who put their hearts into this. The Vocal Avance group gave me goosebumps with their interpretation. Another beautiful, brilliant TD cover.

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you 🙏 I have forwarded it to Vocal Avance :)

[@adrianokury]

After hearing the first seconds, I expected Celestial Voices from a Saucerful of Secrets... then I remembered it was another piece of music. For me it is the best TD composition ever. And the arrangement was fantastic.

[@josschakenraad6415]

Hats off! This is truly amazing! I've known Tangerine Dream since my early teens til my mid 20s and know much of their music up to the mid-eighties to the very note by heart. This acoustic interpretation is very very close to the original.

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you for listening! 🙏 Yes I think the details are very important in their music!

[@josschakenraad6415]

Oh yes they sure are. When I got to know these albums, I was about 15 years old. At that time I got to know physics and especially maths through secondary school. A world opened up to me and everything flowed together: the intelligent, detailed construction of this kind of music versus the eye for detail for the subjects I learned at school. It was an intensely cohesive world to me at the time. At the moment, many years later and in a different phase of life, the palette is obviously much richer and sometimes just pleasantly less structured. I never thought of TD's reportoire as cold and analytical, but many other experiences through music, literature and life are simply added to it. And yet my appreciation for part of TD's oeuvre remains great. What I always really liked about TD was the timing (not too long repeats, but lots of new shifts in patterns) and a less polished sound than other artists in this genre.

[@josschakenraad6415]

I recently rediscovered parts of Oxygene. Part 4, for example, also appealed to me as a teenager, but lately I rather prefer to listen to part 1 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/baS5e31rjKiZaa8). It is so clever to create such a composition with such a sound image with the limited resources and the optimal use of stereo in those days .

[@thomasrydell]

@@josschakenraad6415 yes i always thought of their music as very organic and “alive” , probably because of the improvisational elements in the music

[@danieldiver11]

Too right!

[@Hoshi666maru]

Great Job! Saw TD with Logos live in the 80ies. One of my favorite recordings from TD.

[@tangent4416]

OMG - this was so beautifull!! They've hit bullseye again with the interpretation of yet another TD-classic. So perfectly executed that the waterworks starts (again)!! Mr Rydel obviously have a special talent for converting complex instrumental pieces to accustic instruments. I'm so impressed by the tiniest details they've paid attention to. Maybe it's time to release an album ?

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you kindly! The music is available at Bandcamp and streaming services like Spotify. Fruits de Mer Records actually did a vinyl release of the previous three TD tracks, but I think they were sold out after just a little while.

[@ton-gle4137]

Superb. The arrangement is perfect. The performance precise and heartfelt. I was at the Logos concert in Sheffield and got the same feeling of fascination and movement from this performance as then. Well done everyone. Special shout out to the percussion students for their stamina on the sequencer parts! Love it!

[@thomasrydell]

Thank you kindly! 🙏 Good to hear that you were there! Yes, the percussion parts are very difficult so we hade to record one pattern at a time. All together, I think there are five or six different mallet parts.

[@PrecogDE]

I like the signals from outer space by the young lady with the piccolo flute.

Thomas Rydell, and all the students who participated in this, I am blown away by this latest acoustic version of yet another Tangerine Dream classic. Truly magnificent. It's all good, but I particularly love the vocal reimagining of the voice samples on the original Logos. Absolutely brilliant! I wonder what you could do with the first ten or so minutes of side two of Logos :)

[@thomasrydell]

Yeah, I'd love to do a full album, but it takes forever to do it. However when I get rich and famous and don't need to work, promise to do the rest of Logos or another album :) Thanks for listening!

[@richardsimms4019]

@@thomasrydell Each Tangerine Dream piece you have done has been magnificently performed. You choose the most marvellous tracks to interpret acoustically. The early 1980s was a wonderful period for TD and I appreciate the work and attention to detail you put in. This latest segment of Logos was an inspired choice.

[@thomasrydell]

Thanks 🙏 Yes I choose the parts that seem to be playable by acoustic instruments, and of course, that I enjoy myself. And this is the kind of music that requires the structure to be as similar to the original as possible, or else the hardcore fans will not like it :)

[@richardsimms4019]

@@thomasrydell Oh god, I'm also aware of hardcore fans, unfortunately ha ha :) I guessed from viewing and listening to your orchestra's TD versions that you chose tracks that work with acoustic instruments. No Man's Land could be interesting, but then you'd need a sitar and steel drums handy for that one :)

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure I can replicate all synth sounds. I'll think about it.

Thank you 🙏 I will pass it on. About the lyrics, I’m not entirely sure but it sounds like it to me.

[@jonbretro4596]

I think it makes sense. On the album are photographs of the Dominion performance. There's a big white orb like the sun projected onto the backdrop and a quote "Let there be light" printed below. I suspect it is a musical piece about the sunrise, especially the intro. Listen to that, and consider the sun slowly ascending. The Wikipedia article entitled "Logos" might throw more light (no pun intended) on the subject, or not. Maybe Froese was considering the classcal sence of the word; that is logic and reason. Hence "Wake up!" It's a fantastic piece of music however you interpret it, and I think your students have done it proud. @@thomasrydell
