Absolutely mixed

No, the ultimate classic logos Live, ricochet or Encore comes this album over, but those days are unfortunately for us fans of electronic music gone forever. Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, it can not be stressed enough.

Previously, Tangerine Dream of "Heavy Metal" of electronic music, rebellion against commercialism. Ingenuity, creativity and pure joy of cooperation were key to success that have been rewarded with soundtracks Hollywood brand.

John Schmoelling, Peter Baumann, Christopher Franke, even once even still the visionary Florian Fricke (Popol Vuh) Tangerine Dream had not only influenced, but designed, animated. Edgar Froese and more as the leader, cult and his solo albums stuntman Ages. In this and subsequent works by TD the pieces are only a shadow of itself.

The musicians mentioned above simply missing. The resignations of Franke and Baumann have Tangerine Dream weakened. Some pieces act / are frictional and uninspired. As much as I like Tangerine Dream, the sadder I am with each release of the Froese family.

The name of Tangerine Dream is probably only the name recognition or because any economic purposes, which knows only Mr. Froese.

Of course, would be the music of the 70s and 80s no longer "Contemporary", at least not if you want to make money. So we are left with the possibility to extract the old disks back and dive into the worlds that once made us so happy in fact.

But even this is not possible, because in digital form all our Master Edgar Froese himself the Tangerine Dream albums revised and accompanied rhythmically, as the masterpieces of the past would have been worth nothing.

The album Quinoa set back a little again, but remains fairly smooth despite everything. But at least you take the time to savor the pieces again, as once.

So it needs already a "fan-album's" for a small, low brand recognition of the former pioneers of electronic music.

Quinoa is an album that does not necessarily enrich the TD Collection, but is still better than what came out afterwards to years. Unfortunately.
