The number of releases of the band is simply overwhelming. Including the quality of the music need not necessarily suffer, however. On the contrary, time and again one finds an interested that no matter what era you accesses images of TD, one always encounters musical maturity.
The new album 'The Endless Season' is the so-called 'Part Five Of The Five Atomic Seasons', a cycle, the Tangerine Dream have accepted a job. It is about the atomic bomb attacks at the end of World War II. For example, the fourth part called accordingly 'Winter In Hiroshima'. While listening to the new album, however, falls on not particularly that it is such a topic. Rather, it creates the work the handset to take you into a dream landscape. The spacey sounds create space and atmosphere would be suitable perfectly as a soundtrack for science fiction movies. Notice can be that when you 'The Endless Season' used as a background painting for futuristic PC games like Starcraft II among others.
Bandleader and mastermind Edgar Froese is responsible for everything that you hear on the shekel, only at track 5, he is supported by another guitarist.
Froese creates with his keyboards, sequencers and now and then his guitar breathtaking soundscapes. He himself has also programmed the drumming. About Sequencer patterns sound always spacey keyboard chords and or solierende, sometimes electronically distorted, sometimes merely amplified electric guitar. The whole CD it also creates consistent, not drifting into banality or boring Gesäusel. Nevertheless, it may be a bit thick at the beginning here and there, so that the shekel at the beginning of one point or another a little more momentum as from the fourth track 'Escape' would have been very good to face.
The sound recording is superb succeeded in what music is in these days in this sort also an absolute must. A good system with sufficient bass and high volume improves the already strong soundscape again considerably. That leaves utter nothing but a buy recommendation, however, by pointing out that the albums of the 'Virgin Years' the true classics will remain. And a record like 'Tangerine Tangerine Dream Plays' continuously brings more dynamics into play and perhaps the slightly better entry into the world of newer TD-discs.
