Tangerine Dream - Ricochet CD


Our Price: $10.59 For Sale Usually ships in 1-2 days

The live RICOCHET (sporting one of Monique Froese's more enigmatic and abstract covers) remains a high water mark amongst Tangerine Dream's vast in-concert recordings. During their notorious mid-'70s live performances, they were for a time considered to be the loudest band ever--it's not hard to imagine the effect on the inner ear canals of this album's bubbling sequencers played at jet-plane volume. This is still classic electronic music.

RICOCHET is divided into two parts, which consist of the three band members pitching their towering banks of synths, sequencers, and drum machines (not to mention some galactically charged guitar) high into the winter night. Edgar Froese conducts himself mightily, erecting great black voids of synthesized matter through which swirling sequencer motifs and beat patterns eke out vast, interstellar heavenly bodies. Put this on the hi-fi, and let the Dream bounce you off the walls.

Recorded live in France and England in Fall 1975.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Magnificent !!!!!!
I just got this one to- day. I just got off my bed. All I can say is WOW!!!! If anyone is considering purchasing this one, I say "DO IT NOW". These guys were/are the MASTERS of Ambient. They were born for this pur- pose. I'm still in the process of my collection. I DEARLY wish that I had discovered them sooner. I've sure missed out !!! (panda) From:Macon,GA

5 stars Must Have TD Album
Ricochet is the essential TD album from the 70s. It represents their ultimate hypnotic style that still trascends most trance music of today. Force Majeure is somewhat is the same vain, but this album blows all of the other TD releases away. A must have for any TD fan.
