I edited this video for Kevin Jarre back in the 90's. It was shot at El Mirage Dry Lake North of Los Angeles and around West Hollywood off of Melrose Ave, on a 16mm Bolex camera with a few shots I got on a CP16. What we see here is not the entire video which actually ends with a brief cut of a lightening flash we caught while driving up and down Melrose during a rainstorm.
i've been heavily interested in this band for years. i've learned quite a bit about them, and i've somehow never known about this video until today. nice thing to come across accidentally
Melrose is one of the most emotionally driven pieces i've heard. this and Back of Beyond are hands down my two favourite tracks from this portion of TD's career. not to mention the sax is my favourite instrument
I visualize a fighter aircraft mission to Melrose. Preflight. Engine start. Taxi and take-off. Climbout in after burner straight up to altitude. Inflight refueling, then vectors from AWACS to intercept enemy fighters. Air combat maneuvering with missile shots (4) and return to base with landing and roll-out. I can't believe that Melrose wasn't made for exactly that scenario in a video. It seems so crystal clear. Transition to flight at 1:30. Music is a language and that's what it says.
@desasmujeres I'm not sure it IS an old movie! Looks to me like the guy at the bar harrassing the girl is Edgar. Other parts of the movies (they're OBVIOUSLY not both the same story line) seem to be too modern to be old-fashioned, like someone today decided to make an old-fashioned movie. It just doesn't have the same styles as movies back then. women didn't wear their hair long back then. The acting isn't over-done as they would've done it back then.
My favorite genre of all time may be punk rock, but when I was little and liked almost nothing at all this band was the only one that got my attention. I think that says a lot. Incredible music right here:)
Well maybe its too comercial,jwojtek,but they composed a lot of strange tunes(Wchich is fantastic of course)and they wanted to make something...well,more comercial than other albums.
I agree with Padreiot. The sax adds that something extra. I've always liked Tangerine Dream and this is one of my favorites. Catwalk and Too Hot for my Chinchilla are also at the top of my list.
I don't know why people don't love the Melrose album. The tracks Melrose, Desert Train, Electric Lion and Cool At Heart are awesome! This is one album that Tangerine Dream makes good use of the sax (whether the acoustic or electronic type).
I'm a lifelong TD fan, but Melrose is an album I find it hard to say anything good about. It just has no feeling or originality in it. Even their less inspired albums like Tyger have some redeeming features, but Melrose is beyond redemption. But, like any true fan, I still have it in my collection. Go figure.
I thought Melrose was better than the terrible "Optical Race" and "Lily on the Beach". They both just sound like a portfolio of Cubase demos. When TD went totally digital, they lost their heart. They were always about both melody AND texture, but the texture disappeared. I think 86/87 was the end of the good stuff. The Near Dark soundtrack is probably the last thing they did that I really liked.
I'm actually in this video. I'm the cowboy in the dark shirt who runs away. It was shot in 1992 and is based looselyon DW Griffiths "Intolerance." It is a very long video (9 minutes?). I'm pretty sure "Dolls In the Shadow" is the second half of the video. That is why it is so similar.
heh heh, never saw the video to this. Was that Edgar Frose who got shot ?! What was the line up back then, Edgar and Jerome Frose, and was it Paul Haslinger ? If only someone would post live concert footage of Logos Live at the dominion theatre, from 1982.
