Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: When considering ambient music--from chill-out tunes, through progressive house to naturalistic New Age soundscapes--people tend to think of Kraftwerk as the electronic pioneers. Yet Kraftwerk themselves were influenced by another German act set on exploring the beauty of machinic music--Tangerine Dream--as were such electro luminaries as Jean Michel Jarre, the Orb and countless others. Formed by Edgar Froese in 1968 (and taking their name from a lyric in "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds"), Tangerine Dream spent the 1970s and early 1980s delivering a renowned series of abstract, instrumental synthesiser-led dreamworks like Phaedra, Rubycon, Force Majeure and Tangram. And the beautifully packaged Dream Sequence is a wonderful double-CD collection of digitally remastered pieces from those halcyon years (along with two tracks from their inappropriately classy soundtrack to Tom Cruise's Risky Business). Tangerine Dream's lush, flamboyant, often tense and dramatic epics have marked much modern music, with the percentage still rising daily. Dream Sequence is an ideal introduction to their (for the most part) unsurpassed back catalogue. --Dominic Wills Customer Reviews

 Rating: - A Wonderful Introduction - to the "best" years of this band...Perhaps I should have said "Most Consistant Years" of this band. I bought this originally years ago for two tracks only - "Love On A Real Train" and "The Dream Is Always The Same". These two discs have since served well subsequently in the car. Not sure if the mastering is from the "Definitive" work done in the nineties, or whether it's just the original that's been repackaged, but WELL WORTH IT as an introduction to their "classic" years with Virgin. Rating: - Newcomer to excellent musicThis Album is a must for anyone who enjoys intrumental music and also giving a alround veiw of the music of tangerine dream. in my opinion this is a good starting point for music of tangerine dream. Rating: - A good value samplerThis 2 CD set (reissued with a pretty new cover using graphics from "Tangents") contains a fair representation of almost all of the Tangerine Dream albums recorded in the period 1973 to 1983 (the only ones missing are "Sorcerer", "Pergamon" and "Cyclone"). While it is not always the best track from each album that makes it into this set, and some are presented in bleeding chunk form only, these discs do give the listener a good overview of each album, making this a good sampler set from which to set out on an exploration of the music of Tangerine Dream's so-called Virgin Years. Regular readers of my reviews will know that I ... Read More: |
