More Tangerine Dream

[RedX]

I really like "Rubycon" - that warm, Moogy feel. The only other I've heard is "Stratosfear" which I didn't like as much - a bit too synthy. Anything else in the vein of the former I should seek out?

[Filthy Rich]

I don't know the Rubycon album so maybe I'm wasting your time but pretty much the only TD I like (off the top of my head) is the Thief soundtrack

[treeboy]

Do you know Departure FRom The Northern Wasteland by Michael Hoenig? Very TD, worth a listen if that's your bag.

Check out Edgar Froese Stuntman

You should check out 'Phaedera', 'Ricochet' and 'Encore' very similar to Rubycon and can be had very cheap. Also as mentioned some of the Edgar Froese solo albums of which I would add 'Aqua' and 'Epsilon in Malaysian Pale'. I have a soft spot for 'Stratosfear' it was one of the first albums by them that I heard however there's only one album I'd avoid from the 70's by them and that's 'Cyclone' as it has dodgy vocals that dominate side 1, that said the tracks without vocals are decent.

Another vote for "ricochet" - remember watching this film backintheday - reel to reels a go go

[Mr Naga]

I'm a big fan of the 'Sorcerer' OST. Cheap as chips too. The films not too shoddy either.

[LDJB]

Not in the same vein at all but 'Ultima Thule' is awesome!

...just sayin'

I saw that too......I think it was on a Sunday night Mindblowing to a 13 year old.

I never realised it got shown on the telly. I had a bootleg dvd of it I picked up at a computer fair in the early 90s. Suppose it makes sense its not everyday they host gigs at a half bombed out cathedral.

OK, thanks for everyone's suggestions. "To buy" list duly updated

Incidentally, my CD copy of "Rubycon" is the only CD I've ever owned which now won't play. It's an old Virgin issue, pre barcode, doesn't say it's PDO pressed and is only a bit bronzed on the label side, but my CD player refuses it point blank and if I stick it in my PC it'll play half of it but it sounds like an old hissy record. Very strange. My old Virgin vinyl copies play fine, of course!

[treeboy]

Even though I've probably got close to a thousand cds (indicating at one point I wasn't averse to the format) I had a little smug internal "told you so" thing going on when I read that. Of course I'm not averse to cds at all, having just received 37 of the little silver beauties.
Is it a cd you played a lot? Did you leave it in the sun? Or maybe they get to a certain age and die. Maybe they are the equivalent of men to Tolkiens vinyl Elves At least you have the record still

[emperor tomato ketchup]

I think bronzing can come from age.
I see it with some old CDs of mine.
ON TD talk I am not sure I couold off the top fo my head tell the difference between Rubycon and Stratosfear but I like both. I also have a big big soft spot for Force Maejure.
