impressive dive

In 1986, when "Underwater Sunlight" appeared, was John Schmoelling from the electronics lineup, "Tangerine Dream" ausgestiegen.Edgar Froese, founder of TD and Christopher Franke were here for the first time by the new band member Paul Haslinger unterstützt.An the compositions he was here but barely involved.
TD had long known as a electronic rock pioneers gemacht.Zu their equipment always belonged at that time by many studio, live and soundtrack albums, the latest generations of devices, synthesizers etc for sound generation and alteration, they worked with Some manufacturers together, was asked for advice, gave advice from Praxis.TD possessed despite changing occupations, at least up to this point always the ability to leverage these opportunities to create the desired atmosphere. "Underwater Sunlight" is a particularly impressive example it.
On the two-piece Long Track "Song of the Whale" at the beginning of the album and the final track "Underwater Twilight" a floating water or underwater atmosphere is represented acoustically, with artificial whale songs, partly majestic calm, then again onset rhythm work, E- guitar, climactic ... impressive.
Who now believes to have here to do with New Age kitsch, wrong gewaltig.Franke and E.Froese have here again class compositions hingelegt.Obwohl owners soon "reingehört", the album remains far away from any uninspired electronic tinkling, as one of the other "electronic musicians" kennt.Auch the three tracks in the middle have their charm, even if it comes significantly looser.
A class album to float away.
Who TD sometimes are "inclined / departed", but New Age tinkling is too boring, which is right here.
Also for in this kind of music rather inexperienced listener easily edible and therefore a good entry Album.
The sound of the CD is OK, the remastering of the various versions have brought no improvement for me.
