Tangerine Dream - Ricochet (State Azure Cover) // Eurorack + DAW

Digital download of the 'Dreams' TD cover album including this track, available now in most online stores distrokid.com/hyperfollow/sta...
My cover/reinterpretation of Tangerine Dream's 'Ricochet', mostly a cover of part 2 with some improvised and live performed parts. Created with a combination of software and hardware. This was a tough one to figure out, due to the complexity of the sequences and the live played feel to it, which I tried to capture with my own live performance and improvisation. Hope you enjoy it, feedback is welcome!
High quality .wav available to download on my Soundcloud page here: / tangerine-dream-ricoch...
Thanks to Data Rebel for the mastering.

Recorded direct to SD card on the Zoom R16. Some compression and limiting was added in post.

This is an amazing cover. I think that some people are missing the small fact that by covering this they are keeping the original sound and feel of TD alive. Considering the path the band has taken in recent years I welcome the covers that State Azure has done, and hope that they continue to be inspired by the early works of TD and create new original works in the same spirit. In no way will these covers replace the originals, but like a newborn artist learning to play Mozart before going on to make their own contribution to the world, we must celebrate this effort to introduce TD to a new generation who can by hooked by State Azure, and then go back to the originals, and then load their musical library in both directions to make a fulfilled collection of awesome ear candy. To the haters : Edgar Froese is dead. We need to pass on his legacy along with the respect to the remaining original members and those who have lit their torches from the fire of the people who have brought us such amazing music since 1967. We need this music , and music like it, in the future. We owe it to those who will come later looking for this sound the way we did : with discovery and awe.

[@stateazure]

Well said, thank you! I definitely plan to do more TD covers in the future.

[@stuartwoodward1755]

I couldn't agree with you more. A really balanced view point. State Azure has done a beautiful cover TD for us older ones to enjoy again (I was born in 1950) and absolutely love Psy-Trance music. State Azure and Dreamstate Logic are right at the top of my choices.

[@gb5uq]

I wore out my 1975 vinyl eventually. When I got married in 1977 my new wife and I sat up all night listening to this on my Transcriptors Reference turntable. Both she and Edgar are together now on the great cosmic journey. Thank you so much for this wonderful rendition of the most beautiful piece of music ever composed.

[@chrislacour7330]

Loved this in the 80's when I discovered it, the 90's during tough times, 00's as I was settling into life, 10's as I was hitting a peak and now in the 20's as I face a slow inevitable decline...thank you

[@stateazure]

Thanks for listening!

[@Cragsidebaz]

Life’s odd like that, isn’t it? Yours rather mirrors mine, and TD has likewise kept me company. I’m doing my best to avoid that last bit! Good luck with your journey.

[@robo08ify]

I’ve been a fan of Tangerine Dream since the early 70’s and this brings back memories of driving my wife crazy because I would play them over and over again. 😬

[@karlhoward2737]

Edgar will be smiling at this masterpiece...what a talent....such complex sequences....amazing back in the day that Edgar, Christoph and Peter gave us these incredible sounds...way before DAW.......wish it was mid 1970s

[@templarseries]

Richocet1 is possibly the most amazing sequencing I ever heard: emulating it is a zenith of achievement.

[@alexanderkuptsov6117]

What about 2?

[@gtaheat4679]

He actually improved the original. I only like to listen to the originals and even one note deviation annoys me to no end usually. SA made all of TD songs better. Very impressive.

[@lukebingus9432]

Ricochet is an absolute masterpiece and you really did it justice, got mad chills from this.

[@ME-ty8rv]

I have to leave a comment here as well .... first Richochet is one of my favorite early TD albums and State Azure nailed it again... Really appreciate your hard work ... Thank you

[@swissspanish]

I discovered TD in 1979 when I was 13 years old -- and I just loved it. Now I discovered your version -- and I love it even moooore..!!! 🤩

[@KonichiWawa]

I had been aware of TD for some time and purchased my first album in 1983 when I was 17. I would lay in bed at night and listen to it: Logo LIve.

[@swissspanish]

@@KonichiWawa Well, then we are the same age, though it seems that I was less innocent than you!! Because back then, while listen to it, I smoked happily my joints... ;))

[@chevaliermichel2219]

The so beautiful vinyl sleeves and the beautiful green gradient sticker on the records were the start of the trip.

[@skairdstr8]

"Ninooo" And I discovered TD in 88 when I was the age of 9!!! Picture a child sitting in the passenger side of a vintage "1984 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo" with no hard top cover accelerated at the speed of (95mp-h) at 1:30am on a pitch black highway road with no cars in sight for miles! Now here comes the irony moment the TD track was "LIVEMILES" which was recorded at night live in Albuquerque Mexico and I was just mesmerized/hypnotized in the most deepest parts of my consciousness traveling to unknown places/worlds I swear to the fkn Universe I never experienced anything else like that in my entire being!. So I feel your statement!

[@swissspanish]

@@skairdstr8 I see, even nine year old kids have this ability to transcend consciousness and to experience an unforgettable impression about their own inner cosmic space! So no doubt, we are trappet in this daily matrix. Let's conquer back our inner treasure of freedom! Thank you for your report. All the best to you, wherever you are!!

[@thejoker-ie1mm]

Excellent cover whit great sound 👍 Edgar Froese applauds from the sky 💫

[@stateazure]

Thank you!

[@DonPedro6901]

Did you know that this part was used in background of weather forecast in Polish TV in late 70's? This music started my journey in the electronic music, especially TD. I LOVE IT! ❤️🇵🇱

[@stateazure]

I didn't know that! Thanks :)

[@patrickcummins79]

love Tangerine Dream and your covers. this music has kept me motivated through two periods of unemployed/working at shitty job periods of on and off endless job searching.

[@grantjohnston7148]

Some people say things will never change, but don't you believe them ..

[@kentborges5114]

Tan' Dream has created many gems...saw them 35 years ago and still think about it ! WHAT A SHOW !

[@robstammers7149]

Seen a comment saying no one should ever try to cover this absolute masterpiece from TD. Well, they are wrong. This cover captures the essence of the original. I agree, no one will ever produce a carbon copy of the original. Ricochet was conceived, written and recorded once, using the tech of the day, using unique sounds. It happened once. This cover is the only one that captures the essence, the sequences as near as possible by a new master. Brilliantly.

[@alexc3339]

Don’t understand the people who ‘unliked’ this. All your tunes are gems. Keep up the good work!

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Alex!

[@anoopsahal1202]

Kreuhn Kohrman , good comment I consider that covers are refreshing and remind one of the joy when I heard the original initially

[@polreamonn]

It's perfectly understandable. Many people are tone-deaf joyless imbeciles.

[@MisterNiles]

@@polreamonn Hahahaha. It's so true. And it becomes more apparent, every day, just how many people there are like that. I have pieces of music that are sacred to me, and I cringe to think about people covering them, but I applaud when they have the balls to commit sacrilege. This sound amazing. Better than me daring to cover Lead A Normal Life by Gabriel or gosd help me, Marquee Moon by Television. I learned the whole album and recorded it on 4-track. I used up and recorded over the master before someone else could find it. So as long as State Azure doesn't try to cover Rubycon, we'll be cool. Man this is good.

[@andrewluchsinger]

I can never unlike this stuff. It gives me Eargasms.

[@AndyVonal]

Very brave of you to attempt this - Chris Franke's tour de force of analogue sequencing - but you pulled it off! Fabulous! Ricochet and Rubicon are two of my all time favourite albums. Great job!

[@stateazure]

Thanks, Andrew really appreciate you taking a listen :)

[@ricardofab4]

wow what a brilliant cover of one of the most brilliant musicpeaces of all times

[@skairdstr8]

"State Azure" Your channel is the only one I have found that (in my opinion) actually cares to create a certain "magical essence/fabric" within the sound that is "Tangerine Dream!". I am in "Awe" of you Sir or Lady, and I sincerely Thank You for sharing all your mesmerizing musical compilations for all of us to get lost in and explore great adventures within our minds! I sometimes wonder if your kind truly knows how impactful your work of arts are.... because they evoke an energy/vibe of long lost memories and even possible future memories which reverberate our entire being!. I know I speak for many people who have the same thought's as mine and how I express them. Again Thank You for sharing your small piece of starlight with us.

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Frans! You're the second person to ask about Yellowstone Park! I love that track myself, but I think it'll be hard to really do that one justice.
