An unusual album from Tangerine Dream as it has a singer on side one. It also has a beautifully poetic start spoken through a vocoder. Great album!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
There are several eras of Tangerine Dream. One which I totally like and the other which leaves me feeling a little cold. Frankly, the recordings made between 1971 and 1980 are without fault and this ranks as one of the best. The CD is short by 21st century CD standards, less than 40 minutes and only three songs but the CD is essential. The track "Madrigal Meridian" is one of the best pieces of driving electronic music ever written. I can listen to this again and again. Superb, driving rythym and powerful guitar solo interweaved. Electronic music doesn't get much better. The first two tracks "Bent Cold Sidewalk" and "Rising Runner Missed by Endless Sender" have their moments but don't come close to the quality and power of "Madrigal Meridian". "Read full review
THIS CD IS A REAL GEM AND AT THE SAME TIME SOMEWHAT OF A CURIOSITY,AS IT WAS THE FIRST DREAM ALBUM TO FEATURE VOCALS, ABLY SUPPLIED BE STEVE JOLIFFE IN THE STYLE OF ROGER WATERS BUT WITH A TEUTONIC TWIST. THE 3 TRACKS CONTAINED ARE ALL HIGHLY LISTENABLE ALTHOUGH ONLY TWO ACTUALLY FEATURE VOCALS. THE THIRD PIECE MADRIGAL MERIDIAN, IS A CLASSIC TAN DREAM TONE POEM BEAUTIFUL ALMOST BEYOND DESCRIPTION. ALOT OF FANS HATED THE IDEA OF THIS ALBUM BUT THE ACTUALLITY IS WELL WORTH THE £5.00 I PAID FOR IT ..BUY ONE NOW!
