Optical Race is one of Tangerine Dream's most accessible releases. The melodies and hooks are as strong as on any Dream production, and are complemented by the electronic washes of sound. Pared down to the duo of founder and visionary Edward Froese and fellow synth wizard Paul Haslinger, the music is complete yet questioning, the hallmark of all the best Tangerine Dream recordings. Stylistically it straddles the ground between the preceding Underwater Sunlight and the earlier Tangram. Optical Race also marked a reunion of sorts with former Dreamer Peter Baumann, then head of the Private Music label, which for a time became known for its edgy, electronic music by the likes of Yanni, Azuma, Eddie Jobson, and Tangerine Dream. (Following its purchase by fellow new age label Windham Hill, Private was reborn as a blues label.) The title cut, with its insistent electronic percussion pushing the beat, is a highlight. ~ Ross Boissoneau
CD reissue of this title from the innovative German Electronica outfit, one of the most influential instrumental outfits of the 20th century. Tangerine Dream has never produced anything calculated to make the masses jump off their chairs and start screaming Top 40 tunes, but they have managed to have an immense impact in the world of Electronic and soundtrack music. Their 107 (and counting) studio, live and soundtrack releases have their own driving hypnotic pieces that might differ from release to release, but they are all uniquely Tangerine Dream. Document. 2009.
Recording information: Eastgate Studios, Vienna, Austria.

Jason:I started my music endeavors at age 4 on the Ukulele. I've dabbled in guitar, piano, and violin and started in on the drums at 12. During high school I involved myself in every "music" related class possible: jazz group, concert and pep bands, choral groups. The first real rock & roll band I became a part of was Majority Dog in the early 90s, based out of Thousand Oaks, California. Majority Dog (now defunct) frontman/singer/songwriter Brian Wurschum is now at the helm of The Voyces, hailing from NYC. After leaving Majority Dog , I made my way to Portland, Oregon in '96, and met Michael in '97. We developed a lasting friendship, did some sync up on the musical communication and assembled Paradigm Driven. Although short lived, we recorded some material and gigged, then went our separate ways in search of other musical adventures. In 2004 we began working on new song material, at which time he introduced me to Portland based vocalist Peej (aka Sunshine). She's a talented ...
