Tangerine Dream
Edgar Froese
New
Age Music - Synth Band : I
really got into Tangerine Dream back in 1995 when I went back to school
to study civil engineering. I was looking for cool background music to
listen to while studying. This music was perfect for that. In particular,
I really like the quite different (for their style) 1995 The Dream Mixes
CD. That was a great upbeat euro-dance record. What a masterpiece that
was. I enjoy hearing the different sounds they come up with and how they
use them in their songs. However, I always hated the cheesy electric guitar
parts they used on some albums. That was so annoying while the rest of
the music was so good. Edgar Frouse deserves a lot of credit for the different
era's of Tangerine Dream. It's was nice to see his son eventually join
him. I really like these kinds of new age synth bands. If Tangerine Dream
were to warm up there mixes by recording to tape or using a tape machine
simulator, it would cetainly make their recordings sound even better.
