New Agers and ambient connoisseurs rarely see eye to eye. Though both audiences seek a similar sensorial ideal, most albums are either too unsettled and dissonant for the one or too dilute and cloying for the other. Tangerine Dream splits the difference between the opposing factions. The visionary German project essentially sired both sets. TD's earliest incarnations were first into the ambient pool; their seminal albums dense with hair-raisingly abstract electronic atmospheres. Later TD, wooed by Hollywood and subdued by constant personnel changes, won the hearts of the upwardly mobile with its sprawling amalgamation of jazz, world-beat, post-'70s psychedelic rock throb, and airy synthetic drift.
Both phases of Tangerine Dream have group anchor Edgar Froese in common, and Froese's parallel solo career has satisfied adherents on either side of the fence. AQUA, his first solo album, predates Tangerine Dream's breakthrough album, 1974's PHAEDRA. Recorded using revolutionary binaural sound techniques, AQUA sweetens Froese's uncompromising experimentation with the crowd-pleasing sleight of "head music." Over four extended passages, electronics burble, shimmer, surge, swoop and speaker-pan in hazily melodic and nebulous shapes. AQUA is the consummate headphone album, a crafty, cosmic stereophonic delight guaranteed to captivate all open minds. Edgar Froese Aqua Songs | 1. | Aqua | $2.89 | |

Aqua Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   Edgar Froese fans
If your an Edgar Froese or Tangerine Dream fan, then you will no doubt enjoy various aspects of this album. Sitting back with headphones on and eyes closed, one could escape the realities of every day life for a moment. Personally not my favorite album by Edgar (Stuntman is my favorite), but I will still listen to it many more times.

 Off to a great start
Musically, 1974 was quite a year for early Tangerine Dream fans. Along with TD's release of Phaedra, Edgar Froese (TD's one constant member) released his first solo album. A fantastic debut. Four tracks ranging from 6 1/2 to about 17 minutes in length, this music ranges from dreamy to downright eerie with plenty of unique sounds for your stereo or surround system to chew on. The sound-effects, like rippling water and jets only add to the moods. This is one of those CD's that you can put on and just let the music pass through you. I liked the two longer tracks best, but all four tracks are interesting and imaginitive.

Purchase Aqua CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Enya And Winter Came... CD (2008)
Aqua
 $11.85   
Unlike Enya's 2006 EP, CHRISTMAS SECRETS, with which it shares no tracks, AND WINTER CAME is not a traditional Christmas album. It's more impressionistic than most, placing a handful of Christmas songs such as "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" in the midst of a shimmering soundscape of keyboards, strings, and Enya's trademark overdubbed vocal chorales. The mostly original material does an exceptional job of evoking a comforting midwinter landscape without resorting to sleigh bells or other Christmas music clichés. Highlights include "White Is in the Winter Night," "Last Time By Moonlight," and the evocative, childlike "Trains and Winter Rains." AND WINTER CAME is an unusual but lovely addition to the Christmas music pantheon.
Arrangers: Enya; Nicky Ryan.
Personnel: Enya (vocals, various instruments).
Audio Mixer: Nicky Ryan.

| | Jon Anderson Olias Of Sunhillow CD (1976)
Aqua
$9.69
Yes singer Jon Anderson's solo debut is a progressive rock masterpiece, featuring layers of vocals and New Age synthesizers in the service of a science fantasy concept album about a space age Ark rescuing a planet's population from oblivion. Anderson declaims the lyrics ("Sound out the galleons!") in the classic prog rock style which he helped originate, while OLIAS OF SUNHILLOW's inspired energy, musical taste, and artistic confidence is all the more remarkable for the vocalist apparently playing all the instruments himself.
