must also be called Tangerine Dream, when it comes to "pioneers of electronic music". Were the first albums (Electronic Meditation, Alpha Centauri, breathing, Time) yet improvisational research, partly still topped with non-electronic instruments and sound effects, so it was going with the latest "Phaedra" with the well-known typical TD-sound of the 70s. Fascinating soundscapes that were generated mainly by the rich use of TD-sequencer, the band around Edgar Froese made widely popular. With "Stratosfear" there was then for the first time structured and catchy tracks that had not necessarily be extended to 20 minutes in length. "White Eagle" is the continuation of the path that has been taken by "force majeure" and "Exit": on the one hand short catchy songs that somehow stuck in the ear (Midnight in Tula, White Eagle), on the other side long epic works, but which consist of individual musical chapters and been puzzled together to form a single track are (Mojave Plan). TD are in my opinion still on their artistic level flight, which then mutated but unfortunately by the end of the 80s, early 90s (Lily on the Beach, Melrose, Rockoon) to belang Wi Electric tooting. "Mojave Plan" should calmly treat times through headphones; a truly outstanding spherical piece that could well serve as a soundtrack for a drive through the desert. The title track is known from the scene "The girl on the stairs," the rhythmic kernigere version of Tatort thrillers but I like it better. "Midnight in Tula": a worth listening 4-minute gem that also on the precursor CD "Exit" would have fit well on it. "Convention of the 24" has got me a little too long ... ripples a little uninspired there. All in all, "White Eagle" still one of the most interesting TD work. Other favorites: Ricochet, logos and Force Majeure.
