VAXman's playlist for Rick's TD show
The Tangerine Dream Show
=================
OK moonies, here it is. Rick let me put together a playlist for his TD
show and I've selected the following based on suggestions and by
trying to play TD that is NOT on the moon at this time. Sorry KW,
if you want to hear Logos Live in it entirety, you'll have to request
it. This wasn't an easy task either... There is SOOOOOO much TD
to choose from (hell, 65 Albums in my collection alone not counting
the vinyl I have still to replace with CD).
1> 13:29 Fly And Collision Of Comas Sola Alpha Centauri
Representative of the early experimental TD years
2> 19:34 Origin Of Supernatural Probablilities Zeit
Another representative track. I wasn't going to include this but
I did so for Methem.
3> 13:09 Bent Cold Sidewalk Cyclone
Cyclone was the first album with vocals. Many of TD's fans were
not pleased with this album because of the vocals. I happen to
like it... you decide for yourself.
4> 18:21 Force Majeure Force Majeure
One of my favorite TDs from this period. A very majestic melodic
composition.
5> 03:43 Betrayal Sorcerer - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
TD has done many motion picture soundtracks. Thief
(with James Caan), Firestarter (with Drew Barrymore)
and Risky Business (with TomCruise) may be familiar to
some.
6> 06:15 Rim Of Schiaparelli Mars Polaris
A more recent composition of TD. I just had to pick something
from this album for all you space cadets.
7> 09:15 Kiew Mission Exit
I took a group of friends from college (and present Mrs. VAXman)
to the Beacon Theater for this concert to not see TD perform. It
was one of the last tours where TD played in complete darkness.
8> 20:13 Mojave Plan White Eagle
Just because I really happen to like this track. Hope you do too.
I have a longer live version but to permit other tracks, I had to
forego playing it and use this studio cut instead.
9> 03:02 Justice Of The Karma Law Inferno
This album was inspired by Dante Alighieri's La Divina
Commedia (Dante's Inferno). It features orchestal backing
and a choir on most of the tracks. Not my favorite TD album but
to present a fair cross section of TD, I put the one track that I am
most fond of in this playlist -- It happens to be instrumental.
A> 12:23 Alchemy Of The Heart Tyger
RogorMortis's pick for a great track and I happen to agree with
him. How strange is that!?
B> 04:49 The Red Blood Connection Seven Letters From Tibet
A track from a very different TD album. Very serene tracks with
dramatic shift from the more rythmic compositions that precede
it. Don't fall asleep because the Live TD is on the horizon.
C> 17:07 Cherokee Lane [Live] Bootleg Box Set, Vol. 2, Set 2 "Washington '77" (Disc 1)
Cherokee Lane also appears on the album Encore a
live recording of a US Tour in 1977. I like this version off of the
Bootleg Box Set, a two set, 14 volume, band sanctioned set of
bootleg recordings.
D> 19:48 Intro - Drum Solo [Live] - Flashflood [Live] - 220 Volt [Big Volt Version - Live] Tournado Live
I've seen TD perform live on several occasions. This is a set of
songs from a concert 20 years after the previous track was
recorded/played. Something for you to experience in that TD
tends to start playing and plays through uninterrupted until they
decide the concert is over.
E> 08:17 Stratosfear '95 Valentine Wheels
The final track of the set and a great performance to boot.
Stratosfear is the title track from the 1976 album. TD
has revisited the Stratosfear theme over the years. I
think this is a great variation on that old theme to end the show.
