Happy #CDFriday !

New arrival in the mail this week: Tangerine Dream's 50 Years of Phaedra at the Barbican. Fantastic stuff, and continues the sterling quality of the Quantum Years.

Perhaps this makes up for forgetting to write my weekly #TangerineDreamTuesday post...!

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 52: THE BOOTLEG BOX SET VOL. 2.

Fifty-two weeks! I've spent a whole year reviewing Tangerine Dream albums. Feels like it's flown by in a flash. Today's review is another set of classic live recordings...

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 51: THE VAULT SERIES.

This week we're covering Tangerine Dream's Vault Series of live recordings, as the band finally dip into their collection of soundboards...

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 50: DM 4.

The fourth volume of the Dream Mixes takes us further than ever before, reaching back as far as the band's Pink Years to provide new interpretations of classic material.

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 49: THE BOOTLEG BOX SET VOL. 1.

Arriving on the late side this week. Apologies in advance - this post is going to be a long one!

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 48: INFERNO.

As we reach Tangerine Dream's only album of 2002... well. Perhaps it's a relief they didn't release anything else that year.

#tangerinedream #modernclassical #opera #musicsky #nowplaying (1/6)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 47: THE PAST HUNDRED MOONS.

The Dream Mixes proved to be my favourite addition to Tangerine Dream's canon in the 90s, and I'm pleased to say that the third volume continues to be just as enjoyable.

#tangerinedream #ambient #breakbeat #musicsky #nowplaying (1/6)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 46: I-BOX.

It's Tangerine Dream's biggest retrospective yet, with a whopping six discs covering the band's pioneering first two decades!

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/8)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 45: THE SEVEN LETTERS FROM TIBET.

In 2000, Monique Froese passed away - and Tangerine Dream's first studio album of the 21st century was dedicated to her memory.

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/5)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 44: ANTIQUE DREAMS.

The third and final release in the Tangerine Dream Classics Edition series provides a smorgasbord of rarities from the Pink, Virgin and Blue Years.

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/4)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 43: SOUNDMILL NAVIGATOR.

The second release in the Tangerine Dream Classics Edition series sees the band return to (and rework) a live recording from 1976 featuring Froese, Franke and Baumann.

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 42: MARS POLARIS.

Tangerine Dream - in space!! Again!! Inspired by the Mars Polar Lander mission, it's their final studio album of the 90s.

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/9)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 41: SOHOMAN.

Yes, we're certainly taking our time to the next studio album, aren't we? It's yet another live album from Tangerine Dream - but this time, from nearly two decades ago!

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/8)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 40: VALENTINE WHEELS.

Another live album from Tangerine Dream, this time reaching back to retouch their Virgin and Blue Years output.

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/8)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 39: DER METEOR.

With Tangerine Dream providing the music for a children's audio novel, today we're following the adventures of Jim & Pablo...

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/5)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 38: AMBIENT MONKEYS.

An ambient renaissance from Tangerine Dream - or the sound of the band monkeying around...!?

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/5)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 37: TIMESQUARE.

Hot off the heels of The Dream Mixes comes the second volume in the series, which manages to be even more accomplished than the first.

#tangerinedream #ambient #trance #musicsky #nowplaying (1/9)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 36: TOURNADO.

Today: it's the first live album of the TDI Years, and the latest since 1993's 220 Volt Live...!

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/5)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 35: GOBLINS' CLUB.

Today, it's the first album in Tangerine Dream's TDI Years - but although the beginning of a new era, you'd be hard pressed to hear it from the results.

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/7)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 34: BOOK OF DREAMS.

The last album of Tangerine Dream's Seattle Years! Following 1994's Tangents, Edgar Froese mixes up TD's Pink and Blue Years, and ends up with an unfortunate shade of beige in the process.

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/8)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 33: THE DREAM MIXES.

Courtesy of a series of remixes by Jerome Froese, Tangerine Dream complete the transition to dance music they started on Tyranny of Beauty...

#tangerinedream #ambient #trance #musicsky #nowplaying (1/6)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 32: TYRANNY OF BEAUTY.

It's 1995, and finally - many, many albums later - we see Tangerine Dream emerge from the shadow of the 80s...

#tangerinedream #ambient #newage #musicsky #nowplaying (1/6)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 31: TANGENTS.

At the end of 1994, Tangerine Dream find themselves looking back on their Virgin Years heyday with a five-disc retrospective - not to mention a chance to tinker with their old recordings...

This week's instalment of Tangerine Dream: It's Rockoon Part Two! Well, perhaps that's not exactly fair...

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 29: 220 VOLT LIVE.

Posting this a bit later than the usual Tuesday: the first and only live album of the Seattle Era! I've rather enjoyed listening to this one, which came as rather a surprise, as 220 Volt Live is a clear continuation of the soft rock approach (1/7)

#TangerineDreamTuesday Week 29!

First time listening to 220 Volt Live today. It's on the uneven side but there's bits I liked - Sundance Kid and Hamlet were highlights. Will give another listen or two before doing a review...
