What are we listening to right now..

That's probably my favourite TD album. My older brother was at the concert and was very proud of the t-shirt he bought back!
Youtube throws some interesting things even on my narrow timeline. A live version of Phaedra played by the tribute band that is now 'Tangerine Dream.' Edgar himself annihilated the memory of Phaedra decades ago and the recent live version just jazzes the mess up up with LOUD smattering sequencing, pads in tune with each other ;) and the end result is nothing remotely like the triumph borne of accident that is the original mix :( Why can't they effin well leave it alone?

This is the one that started it all and totally blew my head off back in 1974 as a naive 17 year old. I'd been primed by the original Dr Who theme, the tripped jazzy vibes of TONTO and the closing titles from 'UFO' but this one nailed it completely. 'Like slipping through a vortex, Phaedra is a journey of limitless vision...' went the review - I'm tripping again -

My brother is closer to your age, he got me hooked on Tangram when I was still in primary school. I used to listen to it on my Sanyo cassette recorder whilst I built elaborate creations out of Lego :)

Just came across an interesting and long article in a German Newspaper about the producer Bruce Watson and his studio in Memphis. What a nice inspiration.
