I was reminded today of his solo work and just remembered that I used to listen to the Pinnacles album a lot back in the day:

I was hooked on this part from Rubycon for a very long time. Played it on a loop, which wasn't easy on a cassette since rewinding back would rarely take me back to the very spot where the track begun, ha. The hi res sweeps, rolling arp bass, mellotron strings, rhodes...what a sound. Listen from the bookmark to at least 12min:

Obviously the credit goes to all three members of TD at the time: Edgar Froese, Peter Baumann, Christopher Franke.

Froese, Franke, Baumann or Froese, Franke, Schmoelling, these two line-ups made some of the best synth music I ever heard. But the heart of TD was undoubtedly the tandem Froese-Franke. When those two fall apart, TD was no more.himalaya wrote:I was hooked on this part from Rubycon for a very long time.

This was my first TD experience, a local college radio station played it frequently (among other things I loved from that time)

It wasn't until the early 1990's that I had funds to explore TD's back catalogue, and my favorite first discovery of their old material was Atem... I was completely hooked

This is another good example of this collaboration. A simple piano motif evolves into a stampede of Berlin School arpeggios:

Yes, that was a very nice intro music for the streethawk tv series.Codestation wrote:This was my first TD experience, a local college radio station played it frequently (among other things I loved from that time)
My start with TD was the 80's with Exit, PPG sounds on so on.
But also love some of the old stuff and some of the new stuff.
They had such a large scale of musical styles over the years.
I even like some of their vocal tracks.

TD has always been a big influence for me, and still is. My track for last December's OSC (Dreaming of Tangerines) was heavily inspired by TD from the early period (hence the title). Just a week ago I felt the urge to watch 'The Keep' again (and I did). A great synthesizer pioneer has left this mortal stage. RIP.

The collective hand of Tangerine Dream looms large over electronic music, just in the sounds a lot of us use and the way those sounds are handled. More than Carlos, more than Tomita; Froese, Franke, Bauman et. al. handed us a vocabulary.

I am very sorry to hear that Edgar Froese passed away.
He was a great idol for me. His music was the reason that I started making music and my music project "Faber".
"Exit" is my all time favourite album.
I made a little track called "Tangerine moon" as a tribute to Edgar.

Absolutely fantastic! Really captures the essence of Froese and Tangerine Dream, again very compelling piece. Like the guitar leads.
May I ask what vsti you used in the dream?
