ethereal sound cosmos

On the second published by the label Virgin album of the Berlin Electronic.Rock lineup Tangerine Dream, the band on the "Phaedra" chosen path is continued consistently.
"Rubycon" is considered classic example of the style of the "Berlin School".
From synthesizers, Mellotron, Sequencer, electric guitar, modified and electric piano, organ here an ethereal sound cosmos is constructed, which acts just fascinating.
Elegiac rest, swirling sound surfaces without solid basic structure merge into hypnotically rhythmic parts, from which one then gradually restoring calm in the tension accepting, meditative, daydreams imperious mood structures is dismissed.
The record appeared in 1975, TD played in the occupation Baumann / Franke / E.Froese.
With "Rubycon" TD presented a psychedelic, (attentive listening) demanding, quite experimental and meditative album before that, the right mood and a tendency to this kind of music provided a nice flight by their own imagination and psyche can trigger.
Recording / sound quality are quite good.The old record sounded very appealing.
The first CD-series in 1995 must be taken literally by the excellent "Definitive Edition" ersetzt.Diesen name because the highly prized Simon Heyworth the remastering took very seriously obviously.
He sat not only SBM ("Super Bit Mapping") technology from Sony a, he was recording his good momentum and did not drive all the way aus.Vom Loudness War and digital distortion so no trace.
Even otherwise, the tonal revision has not been operated in the spectacular direction.
The other artists sometimes necessary search for older, foreign pressures, rare mastering etc superfluous here; you buy the "Definitive Edition" and the war`s.Mehr goes as well nicht.Es unless one has a (good!) SACD player and the accompanying audiophile system.
"Rubycon" is namely as (long out) hybrid SACD erschienen.Leider I have never heard this, due to the significantly superior resolution but it should, at an appropriate mastering, be the best version.
