I concur with you. Everytime I find music like this from Tangerine dream, I save it to my playlist of the same name. I really love the rhythm and the beat of the music. I consider music like this as traveling music. By the way, have you ever listened to the music by a french artist named Jean michel Jarre,he plays synthetic electronic music similar to tangerine dream. You ought to check it out. He has a channel on KZbin. Look him up, I think that you will enjoy the music he plays.

A great masterpiece, pure Tangerine Dream!!!!

[@Jerrys000]

Simply put, a perfect piece of music. Emotional, sad, victorious, epic, mesmerising... there aren't enough superlatives to describe this. This track was a clear example of the lush melodies that Johannes Schmoelling brought to Tangerine Dream in 1980 moving them on rapidly from the Force Majeure sound from 18 months earlier. Just love those dreamy Oberheim synth pads of the first 6 mins or so of this. Pure genius!

[@R---66---R]

Yep! And those fine Oberheim synth pads remind 'me' of, so unfortunately, passed away much to soon, MICHAEL GARRISON.

[@jesusdiaz6663]

Yep. Schmoelling and the PPG Wave synth brought about a new, very characteristic flavor to their sound. The early 80's sound. My first album by them was Logos, which I bought in vinyl, 1983. Immediately fell in love, both with the band and with the synths.

@@MaynardGKrebs-gv4vy All the time we are hearing them! If it's before sleep they become even the dream. I often listen to this kind of music. I have a terrible sleep mode because of Asberger. But they just play their music and I disappear...into another state of mind! And my sleep is much deeper and richer with it! Through the day it's as you say. A constant rush of reality looks more like a spectacle...falling leaves,birds flying,cars hissing by,a comet heads down from the sky,machines are rattling,a farmer cares his animals...all looks like a TD video!😂😝🤭

tangerine dream write and perform the most wonderful,powerful music i have ever heard

[@MatthewsBrianRichard]

I saw first Tangerine Dream on the "Force Majeure" tour. It was loud and until the encores, difficult music. I then saw them at the same venue, the New Theatre in Oxford, on the "Tangram" tour in 1980. It was like this recording: positive, aspirational, euphoric....I saw many, many gigs by many artists after this but I can truly say that none came close.

[@krisswild583]

Master piece . One of the best piece to mental travel 😁

My 21YO son says he loves TD music because it is so "organic"... this piece is a great example of that...Tangerine Dream music is "alive". Long live Edgar in the Eternal Music Hall of Fame...and to paraphrase my favorite poet, Rilke, TD music is a presence "that will be, long after the stars are dead."!

This is very nice but what’s missing here as opposed to the live performances is Johannes Schmoelling’s solos. They really add a lot to this piece. The OP has posted a really nice version of TD performing this live in 1980. If you type Tangerine Dream live Preston 1980 in search it will come up. I saw them live in 1980 and it is my all time favorite live show. And this was my favorite piece. It was many years before I got to hear it again via a fan tape but I recognized it immediately. It was only when Tangents came out that it had a title.

It sounds like a great modern reworking of some old themes, but when I looked it up on "Voices In The Net" I see the number of versions of the "reworking" and renamings is all getting a bit mind boggling. I've got a lot of respect and appreciation for the people who keep track of it all, and bring it to us. If the whole process was a measure of the value of a band then this must be the greatest band in the history of rock, or any music for that matter. Can you imagine anyone taking the trouble to do the same thing for the Beatles, ?
