Tangerine Dream - rubycon part 1 (part 1)

[arseonizt]

sounds like soundtrack to old shooter game Unreal from 1998 :) I like it :) and these guys made such amazing music almost 40 years ago!

[milxl]

back to the future at 7:00 !!!!!

[thekaizer666]

Dear Tangerine Dream,

I subscribed my life to extreme metal. In my opinion, this is the kind of music that matters. Borknagar, Emperor, Nile, Lux Occulta, etc. However,

You make music, that... could make people who would murder innocent children by their own cold blooded hands, feel, that it's ALRIGHT.

You CAN make it feel that its OKAY.

You make music powerful enough. With great power comes great responsibility.

HOW will you try to make a difference now?

[TheAlphadial]

I like that it's ripped straight from vinyl, with all the crackles and pops. Makes it feel as old and vintage as it really is.

[LanceHelmut]

i just told the folks at collapseempire to look to works like these if they want to consider themselves the definitive post-rock group this record and phaedra define this genre

[EuxinPontus]

this is real music..i don t have apropiate words to describe it...cosmic but so inner space too

[ToonHead2012]

I have a question. I've been looking on YT to try and uncover some music that might help me induce altered states of conscious (meditation) for a lil' science experiment of mine, anyone tell me if U think this music might help induce Alpha?

If you'd like to know more just PM, any response would be greatly appreciated?

[blitzman64]

I first heard this when i was 12 in 1976.

Blew my head off!!!!

Still loving it now.

Pure genius!!

[peterm3964]

The real shit starts to burn at 6:10

[pabloontube]

Arte y sonido a pleno.

[TheTrancemaster90]

This music sit perfectly in my brain! The endless journey!!!!

[Filotimos]

Hmm, scratchy record, that's what happened back in the 1970s when you got stoned right our of your tiny brain and put on a record. Then you sat back with your pals under the soft light and lit up a proper one. I heard the stories. Then came that build up and the 'dang' that made you flash.

[Tankovydesant]

@Filotimos

Man, that seriously brings back soooo many memories of those nights in the days of decent hash.

[Thermionman1970]

I discovered this incredible music in the late 1980's ,first Phaedra and then this.I didn't seem that anyone would be nto this except for a very few people from the 1970's maybe. This music is so mysterious, dimensional expansive and organic compared to the 1980's stuff when synth sounds and recording production really changed. I like the vinyl!

[7lartceps]

Classic piece of timeless and mysterious Electronic/Ambient Musick.

[sizone]

So awesome that Tron: Legacy is going to revive this music by having Daft Punk et al copy it wholesale.

Glad the kids 25 years younger than us are going to revive some of the best material ever. Hopefully it doesnt turn out like Stereolab kinda ripoffs in the end tho.

[BeezoHow]

Is that pops and hisses from an original vinyl album I hear? Nice!

[ShahidMiller]

This music is just all time great. And it's actually way before my time; the very much loved person who introduced me to it caught on to it in (I think) 1970 -- being fans of experiment and interesting music coming out of Europe and England at the time. Very sad to say they have passed on; but I'm still here loving this music -- I listen to TD practically every day. This piece in particular is fantastic.

[vgmaster9]

I'm sure Steve Roach would do a pretty impressive cover of this.

[sulijoo]

@eyewoodsay And nothing wrong with that :P

[ingus1919]

This is real electronica! The new style is more like Hard disco!

[MrGiobyron]

Song and video Wonderful !

[faunoram]

es verdad, no te puedes enojar si hay alguien al que no le gusta este tipo de música

porque esta música necesita cierto grado de sensibilidad perceptiva para ser realmente apreciada

primera vez que escucho estos sonidos pero siento como si estuviesemos conectados de la misma forma que sucede en los sueños ...

es increible !!

[JamesMansellRead]

I loved the band went to all their concerts in Birmingham UK, The Odeon and the Town Hall and the Coventry Cathedral one as well, Wonderful stuff, glad to see that they are still known, I have lots of their LP's but no record player, must buy one. The music sounds as fresh as it did 30 odd years ago. I think they should be part of the modern classical repertoire.

[41tattooman]

shame its in mono and full of glitches due to the crap vinyl recording

[AlexSotoRoman]

this is crazy cool, idk what i stumbled upon? what kind of music is this?

Any other recomendations?

[Itasattc]

Why wasn't this in 2001: A Space Odyssey

[ukjim]

Oh, pure bliss, it makes me shudder. The wonderful pure tones and sounds they evoked. Rubycon is the ultimate masterpiece of all TD. I need no drugs. It just takes me so far away. Beautiful. Haunting. Graceful.

[gaussman08]

i haaaaaaaaaaaate the fucking actual commercial tangerine dream

[peterm3964]

The real shit starts at 7:04

[ScotRanger1960]

@peterm3964 You're right about that. About 7 minutes in, they get going.

[yvesgomez]

@peterm3964

it's a picture of the sea, and at 7:04, there is a flying saucer passing by

[RoodtJan]

Sounds like my vinyl recording! To me, Rubycon is TD!

[deroelberger]

a beautiful, timeless Masterpiece of TD. And now the dream will be come back.

THX for Posting!

[acousticland]

Rubycon is, imho, the masterpiece of TD

[marc24utube]

I think I was like 15 years old when I heard this the first time. Super Clean Dream Machine of Ad Visser on the Dutch Radio. Took me two years to find out it was Tangerine Dream. Best music ever, thx Ad!

Video is nice, I specially liked the tic after like 3 minutes, hehe.

Anyway saw them (that is Edgar and his band) in Zoetermeer this year. Just a band

[maasai123456789]

an almost forgotten treasure

[stouenjohn3]

very relaxing

[Wormtongue13]

I love the fact that you can hear the needle sliding [and popping] through the groove. One of the best tracks ever. Thanks.

[edw700]

Tangerine was thousand miles ahead that time, and still thousand miles ahead today's era too.

[trichoone]

@edw700 well certainly ahead when this was made and rightly so this album blew me away and more greats were to follow unfurtunately over the years they went more commercial and lost the originality they had , but saying that there is still some gems left --trich .

[m4xpl4nck]

@trichoone I agree, they started to go off the boil at about 1977. My personal favourites are [1] Rubycon [2]= Phaedra and Zeit especially Origin Of Supernatural Probabilities [4] Stratosfear [3:00 a.m.] [5] 1st track from Green Desert. The first time I heard TD was around 1975 on radio Caroline which was Rubycon and I thought "What is this!", home at last! The DJ had plenty of guts to play the whole album on air, what a guy! Keep up the good work. Brilliant stuff, Mike from South Wales.

[diztanguy]

@edw700.scary immensity of the universe,this music talks about time and space...we re so little and insignificant...the feeling comes in the video from 7:00...strangely...your account number...you must be the stars child...

[comeinnumber51]

@diztanguy dont be scared we are all nature we are all that this music reveals, all is one one is all...salvia showed me...

[diztanguy]

@comeinnumber51,just curious...who salvia...?

[exuser5]

@edw700 brings me back years ago, like awesome

[arklight22]

@edw700

The first time I've heard this in over 35 years, what memorys it brings back.

It's as good now as it was way back then, :)

[amielryan]

This reminds me of what my black sheets go thru every time my girlfriend drops by.

[MrVapourtrail71]

Would like to get Part one And Two But getting no Hits On Limewire

[maidenslayer]

@MrVapourtrail71 - Why not buy it. You can find it online for like £2 or less! I hate this download culture. It kills real music.

[keesvangelis]

it was the first album of TD i heard mindblowing!!!!!

[cormackjames]

Quite possibly this entire album is on of the greatest compositions of all time, its legendary. You must be of a mind and in a mood to listen and listen to the whole thing. I suggest laying back and turn off the lights!! Its superb!

[Sanyhte]

Thank You- You Friend For Tucson,Az

[250579rc]

magic, hypnotik....wonderful....this flute....everything......AVANG­UARDIA

[UweFromLowerSaxony]

The first time i listened to td rubycon was in 1980/1981. My mind was traveling sometimes light years away from home.....

So it is - sometimes- today

Thx trichoone and td

Uwe

[jacktheknife57]

wunderbar

[MrBilbo81]

This is their masterpiece

[astrofisico7]

Minha música de cabeceira é a obra do Tangerine Dream. A primeira vez que escutei Rubycon havia ganhado um telescópio de aniversário. Daí em diante sua música tornou-se elemento fundamental para minha criação artística.

[pjmapollo66]

32 albums later and i can't get enough of them,later stuff no so compelling!!

[ajmack46]

This takes me back! They are truly musical sound engineering geniuses. I soon I saw the movie The Sorcerer, I had to find out who made the music. The Thief was another masterpiece of movie soundtrack.

[Thomosexual]

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful, sounds like a sunrise!

[soundmanhaven1]

wow lovely sweet sounds they make......:)

[walterclosette]

This is my favourite piece of Tangerine Dream ! Great !!!

[sigbangschmidt]

when you crossed the rubicon- you have to be ready to fight!

[salnisa]

C´est fantastique , dans les années 70 , j´attendais toujours le premier lundi du moi pour ecouter le generique de" l´avenir du futur ". Ça me laissai reveur. Exellente musique de tangerine dream

[kjgoya777]

i have not heard this wonderful piece 4 over 30 years...it isn't trippy at all...it's simply a masterpiece of mood...organic - conjuring up tangible feelings...thanks for posting it 'trichoone'

[nerdelicious5]

this is really creepy to listen to at 3 am XD

[somaton643]

its good realy tripped out

[kjgoya777]

Love the basic drippy B&W graphics...

[kjgoya777]

Mishu Taste...that is so funny mate...i burst out laughing when i read what you wrote...Mexican Restaurant and TD....cleans out ya colon like nuthin' else!!!

[DennisFrolov]

Classic

[hyperdude144]

The  PERFECT music for scifi.

[diztanguy]

from 7:00.scary scale of the universe and time feeling.i m nothing compare to it,yet part of it.

[MrSKINFLICK]

saw them in Bonn in summer 74 with then "machines parks" on stage, inspired me 5 years later to buy synthesizer myself. god-like, i dare to say....if it´s allowed.....

[keesvangelis]

beutiful music it inspired me for many paintings i made many years ago

[MsBuddy1989]

picked up a copy of this in London in 1974, just days after it was released...

[MsBuddy1989]

picked up a fresh copy of this in London just 2 days after it was released at a record shop in Picadilly.....back then, Virgin Records was THE label to be on .

[MishuTaste]

I'd recommend this song if you need something to listen to when you're on the toilet for 10 minutes after dining at a Mexican restaurant.

[1Animefreak4]

ROFL XD

[enigmalsd]

want to see TD in concert 1st April in London? i have 1 ticket very near the stage :D

[batranoc]

apai muzica lor dintre 70 si 80 mi se pare cea mai reusita,cea mai lucrata. sunt buni,cemai!

[vinncent100]

yes, thats amazing man, simply wonderful

[imperialflagship]

I agree with MPOURNOUZIS - Tangerine Dream at their best: no insistent melodies, but just amorphous, and yet highly evocative, washes of sound and Chris Franke's unfurling synthesizer lines.

[jakechar23]

WIN.

[MPOURNOUZIS]

this is the best album by tangerine dream especially this part...

[theo9952]

tangerine dream at their very best. i've been lucky enough to see them live in london in 1974, playing this music. at the time, i didn't know anything about them, not even their name and had no idea such music could exist...

[trichoone]

hi theo you and me were hooked about the same time they wasn't the most artist of groups to see live operating behind a black lace curtain on one of my trips but wow the music blew your mind - trichoone .

[theo9952]

hi, there ! hooked indeed ! the concert i saw was in quadrophonic too! and there was simultaneous projection of the most amazing psychedelic video images ! a couple of years later i saw them again but it wasn't the same...

behind a black lace curtain? this reminds me of the RESIDENTS !

[desdanova3]

wow!!you saw them in 74 !!! My first TD experience was listening a vinyl '86! and I waited until 2008 November 7 at UCLA to see them live ! My first vinyl was encore. You are very lucky 2 see them, original score,froese,baumann,franke.An­d even the residents ! How strange group

[theo9952]

it was my first "rock'' concert in london actually. the second was either the pink floyd or jethro tull, not sure which. the REZ

i saw first time in Athens in Greece doing the CUBE E show. NEVER missed a concert since every time the come over. last time i saw them they played BUNNY BOY live, it was last year.

[desdanova3]

Believe me that I didn't know about the residents were playing lately. I spent 9 years at LA,CA, and many good shows as jethro,tangerine dream,rush,even nina hagen that is not the same withouth spliff band.But I know TD shows will be less and less, so as much as possible to get a chance to see them again is a must. I like-yes-Blue Oyster Cult-an underrated bend,but with a powerful energy.

[theo9952]

it seem the residents are more popular in europe than in the usa. they've toured europe several times since 1991. i've seen them 5 times until now and i've enjoyed all their shows, each one was unique. BUT sadly the TD are not what they used to be, at all.

[HexerDer]

Von Vinyl nichtwar? Habe die Platte auch noch irgendwo(lang ist`s her)Habe mich damals gewundert das sie so dumpf klingt.Habe später erfahren,das Rubycon mit bis zu 130db wiedergegeben wird und das geht nur so.

[LogSNES]

I want this on vinyl very badly:)

[ian38018]

Listening to all the clicks, I would suggest this recording is on vinyl very badly!

[LogSNES]

AHHAAHA

No. Surface noise is no big deal. Yes, it could be a little scratched but overall the sound quality is superior by a mile.

[theo9952]

my made in uk early copy of this album is kept in mint condition but although it sounds good the amount of clicking always bothered me some, especially in the quiet parts. finally i bought the cd remaster version which is very good i think.

[desllok]

canzone stupenda ti fa viaggiare con la mente secondo me un capolavoro forse il miglior brano che hanno pubblicato

[degooser2000]

I was waiting for it to start, and then 10 minutes later it finished!

This is nothing but a ten minute intro!

Boring!

[trichoone]

yep fair enough not everybody can like the same -trichoone .

[BIGJOHNTON80]

@trichoone hey I like it trichoone!! thanks for the vid... i listen while i work!! i dont need no stinkin video!! just the music please!!

[amalek80]

You clearly stumbled into a genre you don't appreciate. Perhaps you should stick to listening to Beyonce.

[theo9952]

...or maybe the...sex pistols ! i think they were the ones  who started calling creative and talented musicians in their prime, "boring old farts".

[gildedfryingpan]

@amalek80 eyyyy whas bEYonC3 Got to do wid dis?

[ironhorzmn]

I've seen better graphics in a MEN'S ROOM.

[trichoone]

yes they are very simple graphics i didn't want to compromise this important and stunning music from TD --trichoone .

[eslteacherchris]

But they kind of do because they hold your attention because of the movement. I would have used what many others have used--a still. Great clip by the way. Thanks a mil for uploading.

[rememberwhite]

Graphics are great ... subtle and ambiguous like the track ...

[Wormtongue13]

Gotta love the background snaps & crackles of the turntable/vinyl recording. I finally got this on CD a while back. One of the greatest late-night pieces ever.

[Wehategod]

Wow thats all i have to say. this is great I think i will invest in some tangerine Dream. Heek I am a fan of Kraftwerk so why not. These guys are good.

[puselurven]

HUGE. Love it.

[oscamt]

Timeless

[lsdmadman]

it's well-nigh impossible to overemphasize JUST how much this rules, fellow zanies.........

[germyfromirc]

Great Video-

[kinmanyuen]

it sounds eary.... but in a good artistic way. I also like the bassline from phaeora.

70's way ahead of its time!

[bigandrew75]

La telenovela Mexicana Cuna de Lobos en 1986- 1987 tuvo fragmentos de esta melodia

[wastl700]

In my opinion TD is NOT Krautrock! Sure they are from Germany, but TD use the electronic kind of making music without any lyrics to reach anyone all over the world. For me, all the tracks by TD can be listen today and in the far future... generationless... :) I'm giving 5 stars...

[trichoone]

what a great comment and perfectly true --trichoone .

[FoxtronInk]

Jean Michell jarre Can not be mistaken for T.D. They are totally diferent styles that sometimes are similar but only one is KRAUTROCK and that is T. D

[Space5100]

Tangerine dream is a dream for me.

[hardogeidesu]

i have to say i prefer jean michel jarre's oxygen and especially equinoxe more

[alphazoom]

They are great for what they accomplished at such an early age for Synth work. Their better days were in the 70's - 80's, less so in the 90's and forward. They even did some dance stuff but I didn't like it, felt they sold out. Their good stuff was just awesome though....mindblowing stuff.

[neunerx]

Sounds like an old science video from school.

[listener1983]

The soundtrack of "Der letzte Detektiv" of Michael Koser! I like this album and have a good vinyl since eight years.

[Sodiumreactor]

ah Vangelis!! whatever happened to him? he was like the Moby of the 70s right?

[Sodiumreactor]

this is the kind of music you listened to in the 70s right after you dropped acid  now didnt they do a movie song in 84? what was it called....Blade Runner

[RotoPlasmX]

Nope. That was Vangelis. And it was in 1982, the year Blade Runner was released.

[crudnup]

wow this is so imensly SHIT!! how can u like this, is it even music.

[headrush77]

1978 all over again for me.

[0krackfox0]

Why is there jizz on my screen?

[PuppyZwolle]

Just wipe it off if you enjoy it that much.

;^)

[0611dean]

puppyzwolle, that is the best comment on you youtube EVER, period, LMAO.

[PuppyZwolle]

Thanks Dean.

[kiuhy7]

wow this takes me back :)

[bonzo874]

scratches in all the right spots lol wtg trichoone keep up the good work

[somabindicogno]

love this trichoone. when TangerineDream was huge, art &psychology events &discussions were everyday, I fed from the energy &vibrancy :)

thanks for helping me remember

[somabindicogno]

Tangerine Dream were responsible for my downfall when I needed one I got on the right road. I still listen regularly. No other offspring in the genre can top them ;)

[bonzelite]

the music is as new; timeless and awesome journey into a soundscape ; amazing

[lskndrs]

"This music scares me. While I wasn't on Acid, I was pretty stoned one night about 3AM (about 30 years ago)listening to this shit and got a phone call. No one said a word. But I could have sworn it was the Devil himself !"

=> "maybe it was"

haha :)

Rubycon, toujours aussi grandiose.

[tryphonmanu]

Thi is the begining of trance , the right creators of this music, this track is older than me, i have 35 years old, awesome !!!!

[shaft9000]

steve reich was a bit earlier with the kaleidescopic rhythm thing, but TD made it their own world - epic, sonically gigantic and in line with the classics of antiquity.

[kiuhy7]

love steve reich's stuff - the four sections (full orchestra) is sweet :)

[VolupteSensuelle]

It's very strange to listen again this music, the latest I was a young guy 14 years.

fucking thanks for this movie.

[fnxtr]

Still my favourite TD. Thanks for the visuals.

[Triodus09]

TF1, fin des années 70, àmission l'Avenir du Futur

(vers 7:30) - Genial! Ce générique m'impressionait tellement quand jj'étais môme!

[Eclipsedelune78]

Merci ; cela fait des mois que j'essayais de me rappeler de quelle émission cette musique était le générique. en étant gosse, ce genre de musique marque encore + profondément.

[leman13]

L'avenir du futur, une des premières emission débat scientifique de la 1ere chaine.... l'equivalent des dossiers de l'ecran sur la 2eme chaine mais beaucoup plus porté sur la technologie et le futur... ensuite il y a eu sur france 2 l'emissions de laurent broomhead objectif demain avec encore une musique de tangerine dream...

[CaptainBluebear08]

Nothing beats the good ol' vinyl, I guess...

Pure authentic...

[24NOTCEN]

it exaclty start at 6:13 and you entering in a new dimension of rubycon...

[vincentjacque]

Ce n'est pas forcément ce que j'aurais pu imaginer comme visuel sur ce chef-d'œuvre, mais ç'aurait pu.

[BringBackTheEighties]

7:04 when that sound kicks in we are entering a new realm of sonic bliss. Thanks for the upload :)

[butterflynflower]

Love it! Thanks!

[lsdmadman]

one must needs fuma un poco y read bizarre scifi to such Teutonic Trippiness

[lsdmadman]

this and zeit run through my head sometimes i thank you the great goddesses

[Gerry1959]

I remember John Peel playing this .. . .classic!!

[Borkopenny]

Love tangerine dream, im a young un' so I only discovered them recently but its just pure, quality music. Messes with your mind, love listening to their tunes whilst reading about UFO's or something along those lines...

[weatherle]

no better way to chill out. Top man thanks

[trichoone]

thankyou weatherie

[zappasaurus]

I love this video. This is my favorite TD piece.  Especially the bit with the "sea gulls". Anyway, thanks my friend.

[trichoone]

thankyou and my favourite TD piece also .

[merkamon]

i watched/listened to this while eating noodles. ive discovered they are the greatest food in the world and that pop radio should be replaced with this.

[trichoone]

i agree not sure about the noodles though .

[echoes707]

BRAVO MY FRIEND 5 STARS HAPPY NEW YEARS

[trichoone]

thanks , the same to you my friend .

[marini0475]

Spoko utworek!

[breezyvibe]

I listened to this while tiling an enormous futuristic glass back-splash. It aided in the enjoyment of the work. This recording is as good now as it was back then . . .

[silkdestroyer]

I was at the Ricochet concert at York Minster. Fantastically unforgetable. My favorite band for the past 30 odd years.

[lsdmadman]

ahhh stumbling to this in sunny miami in the berzerker eighties, o ye gods it shan't/can't get any more unchristly flipping strange, fellow zanies

[dackywamboo]

i mostly agree as i saw your comment i sundenly find me self drinking from a very hard suffering driver for Iceland driver delivering food to houses that that are above 3 storeys i cant blame them but why are they so many?Tangriene dream i know they had a bit of sound on that film called near dark, HEY i did i end up here now all of a suden i got my ear phones on in me head 12.34 yes!not heard this one before,i`m listening and surounded by my 8 can of beer, i like that one i got a pen.utube day

[Tastytentacle]

Hi, this music, this album, this group, changed me forever! Did you know they did a kaleidoscopic video with this album? I remember seeing it on the beeb, saw the Ricochet concert on the tv way back in the seventies, wow man wish i knew about that one then! Great stuff.

[jbphburg]

I like the seventies TD myself, very spacey and, well,it goes along well with a bong!

[zosothebelly]

This is my favourite track from my favourite TD's album. Great... much ahead of its time, coherent and well structured mind flows... thanks!
