Tangerine Dream - Chandra
Michael Stearns - Planetary Unfolding
Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue
Billy Paul - War Of The Gods / Goin East
Chandra...interesting. So you're not one of the many TD fans on this board who refuse to buy anything by TD after 1987? :-D
How is Chandra? I will probably buy Views From A Red Train before, which I have heard many people praise.
LOL yeah I'm not one of those who automatically disregard anything post mid-80s . TD has done some good , some bad, some indifferent over the past 20 years. But if you refuse to give anything post - Schmoelling a try, you miss some great stuff. The brilliant Seven Letters From Tibet and Mota Atma, for instance. Also the tracks from their "cupdisk" series overall, like Snoring Wacthes Sleeping in Silence, have been very very potent.
Overall Chandra is a mixed bag, less of the hard rock and or dance/techno Jerome Froese was so fond of, now that it's essentially a duo again TD may find it's footing again

GANDALF-SANCTUARY
MARTIN ORFORD (EX-IQ KEYBOARDIST) THE OLD ROAD (has guest appearance by John Wetton)
IQ- FREQUENCY
U.K.- ALL THREE ALBUMS REMASTERS
MARK DWANE-OTHER WORLDS
all highly recommended!
Gandalf is still going strong? I have never really heard much of his stuff, fearing it might be in the Andreas Vollenweider category of fluffy new age.
Is Mark Dwane electronic music?
Mark Dwane composes and records on MIDI guitar (as well as "normal" guitars) triggering various synth modules. I love the feel of his soundscapes...he has his own unique sound. I prefer Gandalf's earlier work to what he's doing nowadays on the US Real Music label..which is pleasant enough and melodic but slightly lightweight.

Got this used CD in the mail today, for about 8 dollars:
Peter Maunu - Warm Sound In A Gray Field (Narada Records, 1990)
Should be of interest for film music fans, as guys like Mark Isham, Patrick O' Hearn and Kurt Wortman play on the album. The title track is melodic melancholy of the highest class, just as I love it. Sadly, this is Maunu's only solo album.
He has played on several film scores for composres like Isham, O'Hearn, Colombier, Cliff Martinez, Chris Young and Mark Adler:
