"Issued by E.Froese", "New material added by E.Froese" ... The experienced Tangerine Dream handset with a soft spot for the authentic spirit of the band in the 70s and 80s knows that one must understand the quite a threat. Perhaps we have here the great exception; "Perhaps" because the original starting material was made not accessible even today, so that a genuine comparison can not take place. But times all over again: 1973, translated Edgar Froese and Chris Franke together (Peter Baumann just was not available) and developed a new material for a new album TD. So you had just signed with Virgin Records, we presented the tapes to some gentlemen in the Company, which simply refused to release the music. This authoritative person at Virgin (I do not want him unnecessarily revalue by mention of his name) was known for the Three coaxing artists massively why eg also Mike Oldfield a "particularly close" relationship with him had; on "Amarok" Mike gave him via Morse code even a personal Gruß.Einen the unsightly nature. After this rebuff then was recorded together with Peter Baumann, the album "Phaedra", which then appeared at Virgin, while the rejected material disappeared into the archives. In the 80s it happened: Edgar pulled out the old stuff! However, he revised it, played parts again (?), Adding new material. The result was an album that sounds like a TD in the 70s and 80s at the same time; a hybrid so to speak. And it was so worth it .... Franke fantastic drumming conjunction Froese's guitar playing is worn, this powerful soundscapes, simply magical. It creates an almost hypnotic atmosphere; not quite as gripping parts convince fully. Strong psychedelic music that you listen in parts clearly the 70s (in a good way), vermengt.Einzigartig with (great) elements of 80s -Feelings the band, valuable, inspiring. Again and again to listening, sometimes very harsh criticism of Edgar that he keeps closed the unedited original material is nachvollziehbar.Es has already come out the XTE re-release, remastered (with limited success), always new booklets, a new cover (what's this?) ... because you have a bonus material better times can come out with the uncut version, clearly. On the other hand he had it back then but also simply can completely; no Veröffentlichung.Insofern: Thank you, Edgar !!! One will never know what and how much he has tinkered / added to the source material and whether the music would "pure" bring a still new experiences. But with such a captivating, thrilling result as "Green Desert" one should nevertheless be satisfied. My American Relativity CD (with the original cover!) Can keep up sonically loose with the first Remaster whether republishing brought 2012 sound a bit, I know this is not nicht.Da other TD CDs is the case, I go not expect here. I wish I had the record from 1986 .....
