QUESTI SI SONO I PIONIERI DE LA MUSICA ELECTRONICA!

[gabrielectrosmog]

@u2bMODERATOR think they were born in 1967 and tangerine kraftwerk around 1973, however these were definitely a lot more electrons than the tangerine that marked a phase of my life with a style psyrock greetings from spain

[maxleonida]

11 people never went to a mission in Kiew... and they missed the great 70's, 80's, 90's...

[kirovent]

great great, I invite you to listen to my music. Greetings

[downunderkev]

This is a brilliant peice of music; I just love the way it builds; soothes and then soars again. I loved the music in 1975 and I still listen to TD today. I think those people who have never listened to TD have really missed out on something really uplifting

[markblyn]

This is (in my opinion) one of the top 10 electronic albums ever made. I could never really get to grips with 'Tangerine Dream' before this, but this album is completely unique. You have to listen to it as a whole. It's a complete journey. Doesn't sound like anything else i've heard. It's so clear, crisp. It's fabulous night-time motorway driving music with the window down and cold air flooding the vehicle. 1981. It's 30 years old but still an invigorating listen.

[downunderkev]

@markblyn

I agree with you man; absolutely brilliant; so inspiring; so uplifting. I have all of TD's 70's to 80's I love every one of their earlier albums

[TheComputec]

@markblyn By far Tangerine Dreams best period.. My personal fave is White Eagle with the fantastic title track which is 3 minutes of pure audio heaven to me even now, and the amazing Mojave Plan a 20+ minute track that is like a 1000 mile journey. They moved into musical areas I don't like so much in the 90's and later so for me TD is 1980's and the 1980's is TD.. its that simple

[TheSynthZone]

I think of TD recordings as aural snapshots of the time and place. This period is my personal favorite with the mix of digital synth, sampling and analog. The key personnel in this recording were quite special as a group. Check out their solo efforts and see where they are now.(way different vibe but very smooth) I never failed to buy anything they recorded!

[MysticalExplorer]

from the great album Exit.

[Neuronaluniverse]

do you know NEURON? :godella bon voyage 2208.  neuron311

[gaussman08]

todays TD it's crap music with no emotion and commercial . is so sad to know this genre of music was lost years ago and never happen again, and why the fuck Johannes Schmoelling stopped being part of the band!! , They Made poland, thief, Pergamon, tangram, hyperborea, the best albums of all time !!!!! . I'm really sad to see that all good music is becoming to shit

[Neuronaluniverse]

Wow!!!! Que recuerdos!!!!! The perfect sound for ever !!!!

[ballrigors1]

i used to sit naked on hot rocks meditating to Chronos, eating kiwis with an erection while listening to this. Oh man, good times.

[sloiselle1]

[popas7]

@ballrigors1 that's fuckin' trippy man....:)

[thefg71]

simply fantastic......

[shishilala]

this band has molded my life from the first time I heard them in 1976,the music never had any airplay,imagine if it did?what sort of music would we be listening to now?LETS FACE IT....YOU CANT PASS MUSIC BY....and u can never get enough of Tangerine Dream

[shazam1059]

wow, look at all the magnificent equipment ! you have to be a genius just to find the on/off switch !!!! shazam1059

[shazam1059]

oh,boy! i bought this album the day it came out, and i must have played it 10 times straight !! both sides !! thank you, boojum !! you just made my day !! shazam1059

[Sickpupification]

Amazing still to this day

[SebSirois]

This is so good, that was the time who music electronic was play by real musician, not sound technician like today! electronic music is now business, we using it to relx (new age) or to dance (techno) and lot of people do not listen to it. But it's like that, time have change! I made a video response on the comments it is my interpretation of the price (logos ending theme) for nostalgic TD people like me.

[thefg71]

F -A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C great tangerine....

[kernel409]

[silexem]

Az iskolás éveimben mindig ezt hallgattam !

Szuper !

[felmoe]

beautifull waldorf ppg wave preset ..

[RectumInvestigator]

what rubbish you talk...give it a rest

[Progrotube]

You TWAT!

Just listen and learn to play a synthesizer made in Hamburg as TD did.

Don't bother replying.

[MarineHarvestCanada]

Man I wished they still played this genre. 70's was great, 80's was awesome and then it kinda fell apart in the 90's. Too bad, but they're still my favorite all time band...ever. Hopefully they do a retro White Eagle/Stratosphere/Hyperborea type album before Edgar packs it in.

[DeRex9]

Agree :)

[Dannymusic1999]

I absolutely agree!!!!! Their one of my all time favorite prog. bands along side "Gental Giant". What do you think?

[maidenslayer]

@MarineHarvestCanada - Don't you like Cyclone?

[carlosanchezfoto]

es increible la cantidad de botones, cables y aparatos, tal vez con la tecnologia moderna logren algo mejor , pero nunca con el sonido de antes

VIVA TANGERINE DREAM

[wtc175]

Ha! I LOVE Chris's  showmanship pressing all those buttons - they didn't do anything in reality of course(but it looks impressive to the uninitiated). The most talented guy of the trio.

[DeaconBlues0217]

I think he's setting up the sequencers for the next passage.  A lot of what T-dream did was pre-sequenced or remote-synthesized, as the modern digital synths and samplers weren't really perfected. So there's a lot of analog 'tape loop' type stuff going on, as well as the analog synths they're actually playing.

[Novaheart1998]

Exactly, he's setting up for the next part of the song.

[ezdvvy]

edgars solo album "pinnacles" is a similar one. the sound of what you like comes from the ppg wave 2.3 and waveterm :-)

[uyllses]

great album exit does anyone know a similar album like it by tangerine dream cheers rob

[ringworld]

White Eagle is very close

[gunthypunthy]

no tangerine dream album is alike except that they are all very good intil the mid 90s

[Dannymusic1999]

LOGOS LIVE.

[waveterm]

Yes ! Give us Logos Live Footage !!!

[chinard]

great find but...

augh! WHERE IS THE FIRST HALF OF THIS SONG?!?

[WolfgangAmadeusF]

Good,but not very good

[4darin5]

You must listen to SHIT, I mean, Shania Twain.

[Klemperer]

I can't believe someone just says "it's good" and gets a ton of thumbs down. Then someone posts, without knowing the man, "you must listen to shit, i mean, Shania Twain", and gets 6 ups. Maybe the world is upside down these days, hihi...Tangerine dream in 1982 and so meant TOLERANCE, people :). I like it, if others don't so much (he said he liked it) - then I still like it the same way. Not too difficult :-))

[podinspace]

This is beautiful, and for me, this is THE TD line up. You can see how well Froese, Franke and Schmoellings different approaches complement each other. As I've said before, if if weren't for TD, Klaus Schulze etc, I would not have got into synths.

[littlefeat2664]

z24 convertible chevy cavalier.....this music and it were of one mind. just set the cruise control and the car drove itself. good thing because i was off in space at the time. snowstorms seemed to be a particularly favorite time to be carried along. td is the definition of road tripping!!!!!!!!!!!!

[digitaldave1234]

This is one of my two favorite Tangerine Dream lineups. The other was during Optical Race.

[4darin5]

I LOVE STD! I mean, TD!

[johnmichaelrichards]

Great to listen to. Good to watch to. Stirs up many happy memories from listening to this album over and over again in the early eighties. I was fortunate to see them live quite a lot in those days too. Masters at work!

[Nerol67]

I love the EXIT album very much, such a classic TD sound.

[OfraHaza1957]

Beautiful music!

[wigtonjohn]

I just loved watching Chris Franke working up a rhythm on that huge synth/patch panel equipment he had at the back of the stage - saw them 3 or 4 times in the late 70s early 80s and they were always amazing live - improv taken to the next level. just soooo cool. Thanks for posting

[doctorwhonico]

This music must be difficult to play. All those synts, buttons, cables connected together and make this beautifull sound...

[tdfandenmark]

td ROCKS!

so who cares...?

[aliensporebomb]

Ah, gotta love the sound of Edgar's PPG Wave. So clear and bright, almost piercing. My favorite synthesizer ever probably.

[Edward3D]

wavecomputer 360 at 2:43, but the look of it

[aliensporebomb]

And then a 2.2 or 2.3 on top of the 360 at 3:30. Beautiful.

[Edward3D]

Prophet 5 for the pad at the beginning, it seems.

[waveterm]

No, that´s a Wave 2

[vcmatx]

Agreed... the Froese-Franke-Schmoelling line-up was the most dynamic, producing thier best works, really... Poland was kind of like a swan song... Great stuff!

[VingDragon]

in my opinion TD's music best period was 1976-1983, and then after concert in Poland their music went down. Sad but true, however I'm still fan of their music.

[jeffbrett]

ya man, the Virgin years were the best in my opinion too

[airportlife]

Still my favourite album. First one I ever heard. Spent many hours driving around with the cassette player wearing out that first copy. Later replaced with CD obviously. Have over 50 TD albums now, but still love this period in TD. Great to see them on here.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

Exit rocks. I love the Christopher Franke period. It sucks that everyone thinks of this as new age now. Stores should Put it in the electronica section so people will actually check them out

[NeoBritto]

man, it is so cool to see them at work during that era. Johannes Scmoelling was a wonder. I'm sorry, but I just don't think Paul H, was an adequate replacement. Listen to Poland! The complexity of the arrangements! I think the Current Line up with Thorsten Quashning is the best in the past eighteen years (since Chris Franke left).

Sucks that live is mainly playback though.

[satelitarny]

Prawdziwa muzyka !!! Cool !!!!! :)

[DeaconBlues0217]

Not always. Their 1992 concert series "220 Volt Live" had a lot of live mixed with playback... Linda Spa on keys and saxophone, Edgar and Zlotko Periko (I think that was his name) playing guitar, and Jerome doing some drumming along with keyboards. Just because a good portion of the music is 'sequenced' doesn't mean it'll not be able to be played live.

[NeoBritto]

Sure but look at the way chris Franke is handling the boards on that break down. It's like you can see the work with synths more clearly hear. I'd like to see that more. I've watched them ond the digi synths and don't get what's being played vs' sequeced. Just me I guess. 220 volt was a good album though. My date fell asleep at the conert though =)

[TGvision]

Does anyone know where to the full version of this video? I love "Kiew Mission."

[raysefo8387]

MUSICA FUORI DI TESTA

[ISSALANE]

superbe!!! Cette musique nous l'avons utilisée pour sonoriser un film dans le désert du Sahara, il y a 25 ans

[facey65]

Don't get me wrong, I love this band but this track sounds more dated than other work. Perhaps its the early Atari and digital synth sound.

[DeaconBlues0217]

Well consider that they had to BUILD a lot of their sequencer/synth gear, some of it was tube-driven (which meant the sound changed as the circuits warmed up.) These guys were pioneers, so what sounds like an Atari game is actually running on a bank of amps and tone generators ten times the size of the game console!!

[mankouzo]

mon groupe préféré

[puresttruelove]

I like it :)

[scanner7man]

This is Edgar's way of saying "ok Schmoelling,good job done but let young Paul Haslinger have a go.

[nonsensicalchild]

I listened to this once in the mid 80's on LSD I played it for hours (the whole exit album)I can't quite explain it ,but it was one of the best moments of my life.Exit is still one of my favorite albums.

[shrabinlorg]

Much more creative than anything heard nowadays.

[rg2027x]

SOOO much better than most so-called "music" now TD are true innovators, artist & visionary musicians with depth + feeling

[GandalfWhi14]

Somebodies been doing their homework by listing all synths on this track. Great posting Boojum. Shame about the quality tho??? Still a great track tho!!!

[fibibullshitfuckyou]

I wonder if any of you guys can help me. Edgar Froese composed the music back in 1979 or 1980 for a german TV movie called DAS VERBOTENE SPIEL. Awesome music with total awesome sounds. Where can I find this. Or is there anybody who's got a copie?

[aguadeluna25]

ufff my favourit song :D

[RtyshewYT]

Yes! Agree.

[shaft9000]

synthesizers used on Kiew Mission are , Sequential Prophet5, Oberheim OB-X, NED Synclavier, custom Moog + ppg modular, ppg wave 360(iirc), PPG Wave 2, & Elka Rhapsody.

Live is a little different

[zenmachinefilms]

Is that not a PolyMoog that Edgar is playing the sustained chords on?

Also, Johannas plays a Roland Jupiter-8 at one point you can see the back of it.

The PPG, Prophet-5 and Jupiter-8 made up a lot of TD's sound during that era. Though of course they used tons of other synths, that combination, and this trio made some magical music that even with today's technology, hasn't really been matched.

[nonsensicalchild]

Defo a polymoog

[scanner7man]

polymoogs a waste of space.

[rg2027x]

what parts is the OB-X doing?

[oberheimobx]

did you found the parts ?

[electroandvocals]

Glory days is right... I'm all for recreating the earlier line up but I'd add Peter Baumann too.. Listen to Romance 76 etc... TD did very well to replace him with Schmoelling and retain their sound but I still think of him as being a master of the Pitch/Beat/Tone changes....

I doubt we'll see a our like we used to... I'd watch a tribute if they played the older stuff and managed a pretty good recreation of the sound. If I had any musical ability I'd try to do it myself :(

[NarcissistsDie]

<i>"TD did very well to replace him with Schmoelling and retain their sound"</i>

With respect, directly because of Schmoelling their sound changed. For the better. I don't think there are many TD fans who would disagree with that.

[thomashowell]

Actually, the synthesizers that i have noticed in the video, johannes Schmoelling was playing a roland polyphonic synthesizer (dunno the model off hand) Edgar Froese was playing mainly a Sequential Circuits prophet V, and Christoph Franke was messing around with a modular synthesizer that seems to be a combination of Moog's and Wolfgang Palm's(PPG) modules. For the keyboard part of Franke's setup, he was possibly using an analog polysynth from PPG, and on top of that one, he has the PPG Wave.

[devoxtc]

Dunno where got TD got those sounds of '81/2 but IMHO they have never been bettered. PPG? Oberheim?

[oberheimobx]

What Synth used in this video ? thanks

[funxstarter]

Exit is out of this world!

[ZIPPYZUBE]

The Electronic Rock geniuses Tangerine Dream! Where did it all go wrong Edgar? The REAL TD died when Chris & Johannes left the band, so please bring them back so we can have music the like of which this planet has never heard before.

[ZIPPYZUBE]

Another timeless TD classic from the glory days when the band could do no wrong! Edgar Froese ditch your current band line up and bring back The Master Chris Franke & Johannes Schmoelling and lets have a REAL TD 40th anniversary concert for all TD fans!!!

[dwm1812]

Without a doubt - If you want the ultimate TD live vision - Pergamon - It will slay you!

[zikphu]

impossible to choose only one recording: Tangram, Ricochet, Logos, Force Majeure, Encore, Hyperborea, Exit, etc. So many great records, TD is the best electronic band ever.

[SaraTGinMD]

I like TD musically, but these videos are all to "look how trippy we are!" for my taste

[antolintinez]

One of my favorites TD songs... Thanks

[Nerol67]

One of my fav TD albums is Exit and I have never been able to find any videos for any tracks from this album. Classic shots of the master Chris Franke!!! Thanks for posting!

[madmomentsgo]

cool album brings back memories

[shotocam]

I saw TD in toronto june 1986....wot a trip....i saw them again in 88. Andy Summers opened and blew them away. TD's sound system failed in the middle of the show. EF said that it was a first in 25 years. anybody else go to that show?

[bmet47]

Yes to both.I was alittle disappointed to learn CF was no longer in the band in '88.(Just before the concert started!!!) 1986 show was the best of the 2!

[oberheim68]

A pity they newer do anything 100% live, always playback

[MyClubbingSpace]

watch and learn kraftwerk :p

[quasarsphere]

Oh, that's a little unfair. TD and Kraftwerk had very very different musical visions.

[oldhorror]

my fav TD album, thanks

[hollowmenrule]

thank god for people pushing forward with synth work in a sincere way, makes for inspiring listening

[mesmoland]

Exit is my favorite, you have to hear Hyperborea too before you die at least once

[williamc99]

I got hyperborea, and that is awesome, Beach Scene is also very good, kinda like Hyperborea with the nice melody and it is relaxing, and Kiew Mission is really good aswell.

I think you gotta hear the Extracts from Poland CD though, my favourite being Horizon, but Poland and Barbakne are also very good

[astralninja]

yes! exit is best!

[lauragarcez]

This is one of my favorite of the 80's Tangerine Dream's themes. Anyone knows if there is a DVD?

[adamshah34]

So many mind-blowing, amazing songs, this is another one of them!! cheers

[slutfacelife]

fucking deadly

[TDaddict]

Nice video, really nice.

I like to see the exact way of how they actually made the music, and it looks fascinating, making electronic music myself, these guy's are legends.

Thanks for uploading the Video :)

[KorkInNotts]

Spent many a night listening to TD at 3am tripping off my tits in the early 80s. Strange days!

[ACTIVAMAN]

Nice to know that I wasn't the only one.

[armalyte]

v poor quality footage, but i prefered this incarnation to the earlier lineup with baumann, who had a really shit solo career, and spent nearly a hundred grand on the e-mu audity, which e-mu abandoned (thankfully) for the emulator.

[LeeBakerLegion]

Wonderful.

[fibibullshitfuckyou]

Top,Top,Top. I've seen this on tele in these days. After this they were playing mojave plan with an orchester. I whant 2 see the whole thing again.

[skodas]

im trying to find any good live dvds help

[etnopinkfloyd]

tangerine dream simplemente alucinante

[rg2027x]

awesome..

[3dcandy]

My favourite TD line-up!

[glennwinstanley]

I love the way schmoelling plays his JP8!!!

[jasong1971]

This is awesome. It is a crime that there is no DVD of TD Live in the '80s

[michael1166]

THIS is The Dream!

[donniegarrison]

Wow, this is from the cd that first got me into TD. It was only later that I learned I liked them before from the soundtrack of the movie "Sorcerer". Never put two and two together...

[cefp]

I would like to dream with Rubycon...

[shaft9000]

Yeah YEAH MORE MORE MORE!!!!

This is the shizzzz-nittahhhh....

[bodland]

ive just filled my pants with mother natures wallpaper paste when i saw this....

[setaitransmedia]

this is the PINNACLE of electronic music- TD in the early eighties

[mjraposo]

The good old times....where can find an early 80's TD DVD? Seems to be so hard to find one of these.

[Sharpblue]

Where did that come from - I want the whole video.

[rethink621]

Fab! It's great how these TD videos are appearing from their better period. Thanks.

[glennwinstanley]

Thank you. I have never seen this....
