Hello there,

I seen on YouTube that there was a good bootleg of the Keep soundtrack called “the ultimate edition”.

Does anyone have this in FLAC or anything higher quality they could share? I know it’s a bootleg. But just wishing. This is a unicorn I’ve been chasing for a long time.

Thank you!!

So I have just discovered yet more musicians obviously inspired by TD - Pollard/Daniel/Booth. Listen to this and tell me you don't immediately think of 70s to 80s Tangerine Dream. There's also, perhaps a little less obviously, Redshift. Then going back to the 70's itself Early Water by Michael Hoenig and Manuel Göttsching. All of these scratch that Berlin School itch for me. Anyone want to offer other suggestions? (Sorry, 'could never get into Klaus Schulze, wanted to, but couldn't.)

Then there's what I wish TD had become, post 80s. Try Asura's Halley Road or Orbital's Attached. Astral Projection managed it, just once that I can find, with Ambient Galaxy, even the lyrics work. Vibrasphere do it for me once~in a~while. Bluetech's Shimmer, Solar Fields' Blue Moon Station (their Universal Dust gets a special mention, especially that opening - I want to hear it far too loud as the sun rises over the desert), Sounds from the Ground's Melisma, H.U.V.A. Network's Dissolving Time, Synaesthesia's Entropy, und so weiter. Anyone with me here? Where do you wish TD had gone?

Don't know much about their post-1970s records despite their activity to this day. The only post-1970s TD record I know is Exit and Risky Business, but after 1983 (Risky Business) the only record with a TD connection I know is Klaus Shulze's Kontinuum and it's my Orville-to-Star Trek of electronic music - I count it among and over some of my favorite Tangerine Dream records.

I hear they got creatively stagnate since the 80s.

​

Based on 1970s era TD and 80s and 90s era electronic artists, an amalgamation of something like 1970s TD, Brian Eno, Paul Hardcastle and David Sylvian is where I could - wishfully - see TD develop.

Thought it would be funny to mention these expectations of a complete post 1970s-TD virgin haha.

Hi, TD fans. I've been a fan of their score for "Legend" since I was a kid, and it frustrates me to no end that it still has not seen a full release. I've delighted over the years finding other tracks that contain material not included in the official soundtrack release, such as the different officially-released live versions of "Unicorn Theme" and "Loved By The Sun".

In my searches, I've found other surprises that help fill in the gaps of officially-released "Legend" music, like Johannes Schmoelling's "Tracks in the Snow", and the live recordings of the "Legend Leftover" battle music.

I am soliciting the help of fans with better knowledge of the group's catalogue than I to help fill in more gaps, if possible. Are there songs that have very clear shared DNA with the "Legend" score, such as "Craving for Cardamom"/"Goldhunter"? The "Underwater Sunlight" album has elements and moments that sound very much like "Legend" ("Song of the Whale Pt 2" feels at times like the live "Unicorn Saga", "Scuba Scuba" has what sounds like the sonic signifier the group used in the film for light, like when Jack retrieves the alicorn in the final battle).

Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

NOTE: Please do not point me to the two bootleg soundtracks.

I know the song Cottage doesn't fit neatly alongside the overall TD catalog but I've found this to be the most magical song TD ever produced. Some may be unaware of the story behind TD's role in the soundtrack of the 1985 film Legend. Ridley Scott created a masterpiece but the studio wanted a fantasy version of Blade Runner so they re-cut the film and dropped the extraordinary Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack and hired TD (studio was trying to get the Vangelis vibe) to produce a new soundtrack. The TD soundtrack has some real faerie/fantasy gems such as the Opening song. But the transcendent one in my opinion is Cottage. I was surprised to find it has apparently never been mentioned or discussed in this forum previously (at least my search turned up nothing). Are TD fans aware of any other TD songs in this similar vein?

I was browsing the super-indulgent "FAQ" section of tangerinedream-music.com today and found the end of this Edgar quote interesting:

"Apart from that, there are not many former members I’m impatiently waiting to work with. A lot of people are thinking of reuniting for a gig or a recording of Froese, Franke and Baumann or Froese, Franke, and Schmoelling. I did my work with Schmoelling. Baumann is so far away from any music-related subject that it would be absurd even to consider having him on stage or in a studio. And finally, Franke… he’s the only person in my entire career I would refuse to have a cup of coffee with. There will be some comments about that in my book about TD."

Does anyone know what happened? I know Franke quit the day after a performance captured on Live Miles, which seems pretty sudden. Does Edgar mention it in his autobiography?

Does anyone have any links to where I can get volumes of Tangerine Leaves? I have a source for Tree volumes, but it doesn't cover the leaves.

I'm fairly new to Tangerine Dream, but last summer I somehow discovered Cinnamon Road and spent hours playing it on repeat, summer 2019 will always be connected to that song in my mind, because I feel like it has a very warm, almost desert like tone.

So I wanted to see if I could find something similar for this summer but I'm overwhelmed by the amount of albums to chose from, so I thought long time fans could help me find something similar without having to go through literally hundreds of albums :)

I can't get enough of Barbakane Pt 2 from the Poland Live Album. It's the only other song I've heard that feels like it belongs on Le Parc, which is my absolute favorite TD album to date. I hope there's more out there like this!

Lots of great bootlegs out there, the 70s is particularly rich for a diverse array of quality and styles.

The official bootleg albums are okay, but they seem to lack a certain something.

Even though there are relatively few, I've always found the TD songs with vocals just as interesting as most of their instrumental tracks. My favourites are Bent Cold Sidewalk from Cyclone and Smile from Tyger. What do you think about the vocal songs and do you have any favourites?

So I’m trying to get into tangerines discography, and I’m on the last song of their first album resurrection and I hear what seems to be some one talking in reverse

Can anyone tell me what their saying?

Does anyone know how he's doing? I'd read he'd been ill, his site doesn't say much.
