Going on 44 years for me LOL. Every since first hearing them on the local radio station after they released Tangram in 1980, and hearing the beginning of the album while seeing huge snowflakes falling outside, never hearing anything like TD before.
R.I.P. Edgar, You were a leading pioneer of electronic music exploration. Edgar once said: “There is no death, there is just a change of our cosmic address." I'm glad his address was here on earth while I was here.
TANGERINE DREAM - Long Way From LSD-World to the Space in Our Hearts! Rest in Peace, Edgar! Thank You for the New Music History! You are always in our hearts! Your music will live forever!
Mein eigentlicher Einstieg zur TD-Music nach dem gleichnamigen Tatort mit Schimi und Tanner. Seitdem ist TD für mich eine Droge. 😉 Sehr traurig, dass Edgar so früh verstorben ist. 😢
Wow! There are pictures from my lucky youth! I am still the same person, a bit Hippy, a bit creative, very free, peaceful and a lovely family father! The onliest thing I don´t like so much is WORK, but my children are hungry.... :) Tangerine Dream were really crazy pioneers! VW Käfer 1302 LSD - Krautrock! Very great times, see you later Edgar....
I HAVE BEEN LUCKY 2 SEE T.D. several times. It was great 2 be able to hang out back stage and show them so of my magic illusions. I really like the U.S. Tour when they had the Laser show as opening act.
Unbelievable but true that TD once were a Psychedelic Proto-Metal Band far away from what them great some years later. Were was this bizarre Bath Tube Session held?
They were wrong, the 3rd and 4th videos are not called Ricochet. It's "Ultima Thule (Improvisation)" and the other one is titled "Signale Aus Der Schwaebischen Straße". Those little details aside, this was a great rare compilation. One that should never be missed by any real TD fan!!

Ossiach 1971 ? We were there for hollidays that year, right around the corner. So sad, that I didnt notice their concert. But... I didn`t kow T.D at all that time...
Now I perfectly understand why William Friedkin would've wanted to have these guys to do the music on The Exorcist if he had heard about them before that movie. Listen from 7:44 for example.
My ancestry may be mostly German but I've living in the US since I was born and I'm still trying to learn more German. Anyhoo, I managed to use Google Translate to get the following: 24:29 "If you know what the other is thinking, it is quite simplified." - C. Franke 25:38 "A Synthesizer makes no synthetic music." - Miles, Journalist 34:08 I think this translates to "The Girl Under the Stairs". That tune is soooo much like (or the same as?) "White Eagle". Boy! Edgar Froese sure looked different on that Jeanne D'arc segment.
WOW!.. does anyone know please... what is the name of the track that appears at minute (11:51) dated 1971 Ricochet Part 1 ?.. with Egar Frose on guitar... there are moments that bring back many memories of Celestials Voices by Ummagumma de Pink Floyd… this track may be from the last track of Alpha Centauri album, called Alpha Centauri..not sure.
"A synthesizer makes no synthetic music" - Miles Only people do. In fact there is a lot - too much - of synthetic music nowadays, which can be played with analogue and digital instruments. Peter Kroll, Singapore
I'm sorry, but this is not "Das Mädchen auf der Treppe" The producers of the show are wrong. This is the song "White Eagle" from the same album (1982). "Das Mädchen auf der Treppe" has a rhythm underlay which is missing here. "White Eagle" was the pattern for "Das Mädchen auf der Treppe" and has been produced for the same episode of the German crime series "Tatort". You will find "Das Mädchen auf der Treppe" here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AinZTrGlf_0.html
I think they called it that way for not confusing the tv showers, cause this score for "Tatort" was quite popular that time. But today we are confused about the different variations of this song.
37:10 Look mom, we now got computers! Iris Camaa was such an eye candy that time. Before her we could only admire the beauty of their machines. 😂 Sad to say, but Edgar was not that beauty...But my favourite casts are stil those great trios l: Froese/Franke/Schmoelling and Froese/Franke/Baumann.
I always found it kind od ironic that the musicians he hired , to me, had more talent than Frose did. He was kinduva great guitar player, but not A great musician.
I would call Edgar a great "sound sculptor" of the same type as Brian Eno. Sure he was no virtuoso, but his contributions to the history of music are mighty and forever.
