Today I want to take you way back into the time, when Electronic Music meant something extraordinary - and something too freaky for many people. The year is 1975...
... the band is Tangerine Dream
At this point in time, Tangerine Dream is the trio Christopher Franke, Edgar Froese and Peter Baumann.
The LP is "Ricochet", a live recording of 2 tracks they played at concerts.
For me, one of their best LPs - although there are a number which come pretty close.
At least in my opinion, "Ricochet" has not lost any of its fascination as Electronic Music - even after 45 years.
Please listen to the entire LP here:

Enjoy!
These guys were on top of my play list back in the days. Definitely a group that deserves attention. Wondering how many of the youngsters going for electronic music know Tangerine Dream. Many I know, dont.

Yes, and only few people today realize that those guys in the 70s paved the way for the electronic music production we have now. And not only the stuff that is labelled "electronic" like Techno and such, but basically all Pop, Rap and whatever is in the Top 40. With a few exceptions perhaps.
Yeah, its been a long way, from the analog synths to the music making with a laptop now.

Agree :) Just this morning I was reading from some oldtimer DJ why the sync button is not used by the other oldtimers... His statement: Use the time not doing the technicals to add more creativity to the music. He showed a lot of scratching using the sync button between the records. Guess this is also way different from the traditional way of creating a set. With time comes change. With time we forget about the past :)

Yes, today we have a button for everything - and even thats virtual on a screen mostly. And everything is automatic: auto tune, auto sync, auto whatever.
On the other hand, all that has made music production much more affordable. In the 70s, a selection of synths as people like Klaus Schulze or Vangelis or so had, cost as much as a nice house. So for most people it was only a dream to make such music.

Yeah, everything have up- and downsides :) I still know artists who spend the equivalent of the value of a house to equip their studio, mostly those who are darn good in what they do, the pure musicians regardless of their taste in music, or mine for that matter :)
