Free Music Review: I guess it's an interesting piece of work...
Hit: 2 Stars
Tangerine Dream were in their extremely experimental infancy when this album was released. It's interesting work, considering when it was recorded and what the music scene was like in Germany at that time.
For today, however, the music seems like a mish-mash of instruments that are played simultaneously with the sole purpose of just making noise. Most of these songs seem formless and without structure (maybe that was the whole idea?). This album, however, IS a slight improvement over the band's previous release, "Electronic Meditation", which was their first official album.
The album does succeed in giving the listener the feeling of witnessing the birth of the cosmos; order out of chaos and all that, but it's hardly music that would be easily accepted by the mainstream public. In fact, upon hearing this album, a freind of mine stated "Were these guys on drugs when they did this?"
Maybe, maybe not.
For die-hard TD fans, this album holds interest because it allows you to hear how the band evolved to become one of the de facto electronic bands in history.
