Wow, this is truly a rare special clip. Thank you. I love all their music, but for me my favourites are 'Exit' (the concert clip is from EXIT (Kiew Mission)) and 'White Eagle'. God bless you Edgar Froese, and thanks... RIP
El mejor grupo de musca electrónica de todos los tiempos sin lugar a dudas un grupo que se adelanto a su tiempo y que a día de hoy continua en activo magnifica e inolvidable entrevista.
Si asi es amigo. Da gusto de ver que hay gente latina con gustos exgocentricos !!! Hoy en dia con sus sesiones para mi siguen siendo unikos pues los nuevos miembros fueron elegidos por la mejor leyenda
Thanx for the upload. At the time of this interview I would have never heard of them or their music. I was first introduced to them when I saw the movie "The Keep" in 1983. I instantly fell in love with the soundtrack and rushed from the theater to buy it. To this day I still can't get it! However I did get many of their other albums which I still use on my of drives in the desert southwest of the U.S. This grouping was my favorite. I saw them in 1988 in Dallas, but JS was already gone. It's nice to them (or this set) from back in the day. Thanx again.
Re; the Keep soundtrack, I remember the dude who ran my local record shop saying it was due to be released, but was cancelled at the last minute.There are some fans who insist they saw it on the shelves, but in 30+ years no one has been able to produce even a picture of it. There was the official release back in the '90s, which has some good music on it, but isn't the soundtrack at all (and fetches a pretty penny), and another unofficial one on Blue Moon records that has the actual music on it but is really hard to find. And then there's the "Ultimate Edition," which takes portions of all of them, plus stuff from other sources and compiles them into a 3-CD set. That was limited to 5 (!) copies, but can be downloaded.
I somewhat agree with you, the FFS lineup gave me my three favorite TD albums: Pergamon, Tangram, and Poland, but let us not forget that the FFB (Peter Baumann) lineup gave us three all time classics in Phaedra, Rubycon, and Stratosfear. But, that's your opinion, and I respect it.
Viví mi juventud escuchando a tangerine drem, isao tomita y pink Floyd, y estoy agradecido con la vida, por haber escuchado estos magos de la música fantástica e imaginativa.
Instrumental electronic music was always popular in East/communist Europe because it was unpolitical art music and ddr themselves developed many synths in a sort of technology "space race"...for instance the soundtrack to Solaris
Damn, Tangerine Dream could have lived in Australia? What? Why didn't they let them stay here? If they did, I might have got to see them! Curse the powers of the time!
Johannes Schmoelling took TD in a different direction. Gone were the lengthy single side wonders and in came the 3min pop pieces and the music became the worst for it.
The Schmoelling era was my favorite, because that's what was coming out when I was first starting to get into them, so it was all new. Now that I'm older, I prefer the Baumann era, but to each his own.
Unfortunately, Australia has often been out of its depth when it comes to hosting or interviewing major international acts. Being as far away from the better hemisphere as it is, it remained woefully out of touch during the 70s and 80s with the rest of the world. I remember hearing radio interviews or seeing TV interviews with some of my favourite artists when they were touring down here, and cringing at the questions being asked. Few rock/pop journos did their homework properly. Some simple answers could be gleaned from reading album sleeve notes or magazine articles. It's no wonder many guests looked perplexed when they received some of the questions that they did.
