It sounds great ( to my ears) and the package itself is 1st rate - colorful design with solid liner notes that cover the film, the making of the film ( which was very interesting ) and a good analysis of TD's score itself. Well done, very well done guys. Hopefully it'll pave the way for more TD from LaLa Land. Ummmm how about it guys?    Posted:   Mar 17, 2014 - 6:51 AM     By:   capracorn   (Member) i hope L.A. streethawk the series is next and continue with: city of shadows red heat red nights the soldier Spasms Strange behavior    Posted:   Mar 17, 2014 - 7:43 AM     By:   MikeP   (Member) I liked MV's comment in the announcement thread saying Froese was "very aware" of this reissue. Based on Edgar's controlling nature in the past he likely wasn't too pleased But based on how this one ended up he oughtta be tickled pink! I've had the Varese CD since the original release, but it is good others can now grab this at a good price and an upgraded presentation. And yeah I'd be there for any TD score releases that come down the pipeline.    Posted:   Mar 17, 2014 - 9:58 AM     By:   First Breath   (Member) I have the original CD, so I will not buy this, even if I would love to read the liner notes. I just feel that I can't justify buying music that I already have.    Posted:   Mar 17, 2014 - 10:46 AM     By:   Ford A.

Thaxton The same reason why people post "Ordered!" Seriously I thought the purpose of a discussion forum was to have a community of enthusiasts share, discuss, critique and voice their opinions and concerns, likes and dislikes. It is my opinion that many of your posts aren't "justified" either.    Posted:   Mar 17, 2014 - 11:08 AM     By:   First Breath   (Member) I have the original CD, so I will not buy this, even if I would love to read the liner notes.

I just feel that I can't justify buying music that I already have. Since Froese was likely opposed to the release, that may have ruled out any expansion. A few years back TD did post one extended track on their fan club site. So there's at least a small amount of extra music. It may have been my ears expecting it, but the new album DOES sound better than the original release. Maybe not a revelatory experience but ... it sounds great. And Randall Larson's notes are great. Lots of interview quotes from TD and writer /director Mike Gray, plus although it wasn't news to me, I liked Larson pointing out which cues were based on previous TD compositions, and which made it into later albums. A nice comprehensive touch. A top notch package.    Posted:   Mar 17, 2014 - 3:35 PM     By:   drop_forge   (Member) I've been listening to this CD on repeat since I got it in Friday's mail. The rearrangements of tracks from (the original TD albums) Pergamon, Tangram and Exit, plus the music that makes this score unique, make this a killer album. The vibrant analog sounds the band used during this incarnation/era are second to none. The remastered sound is excellent. Even if you have the original Varese issue, the remastering and extensive liner notes -- not to mention the very-reasonable price of $16 -- make this an essential buy if you're a Tangerine Dream fan. Here's a cool interview with the late Mike Gray on the making of the film: http://pulsingcinema.com/archives/441    Posted:   Mar 17, 2014 - 3:38 PM     By:   drop_forge   (Member) i hope L.A. streethawk the series is next and continue with: city of shadows red heat red nights the soldier Spasms Strange behavior All good scores (we can't complain when it comes to Franke, Froese, Schmoelling), but my vote goes to Firestarter. Do Edgar and/or Chris even have the rights to Streethawk?    Posted:   Mar 17, 2014 - 9:39 PM     By:   DJS   (Member) This is one of the first TD cassettes I bought back in 1985. It remains one of my TD favorites so this remaster which noticeably improves upon the original Varese release is a welcome addition to my TD remasters. LaLa remastered this release quite nicely, some well-informed liner notes and improved the artwork (including a nice little nod on the disc to the original, silly Varese cover). The sound quality is of significant improvement so I can only imagine that anyone calling themselves a TD fan and scoffing at purchasing this because they already have the CD (which was released in the 80's) probably doesn't have much of an ear for improved audio dynamics (last time I checked mastering technology has improved a tad since the 80's). Of course, when TD fans do not support label efforts that produce Tangerine Dream music they should not be surprised when unreleased/expanded TD works never make it into our hands.    Posted:   Mar 18, 2014 - 12:30 AM     By:   drop_forge   (Member) This is one of the first TD cassettes I bought back in 1985. That was a pretty funny item to place on the checkout counter with its cover image of a prepubescent "alien" child. Those were the days...    Posted:   Mar 18, 2014 - 2:56 AM     By:   capracorn   (Member) I've been listening to this CD on repeat since I got it in Friday's mail.

Whas some of the music used for wavelenght also used for de German tv series "tatort""? or is this mentioned in the liner notes? if so than i wait until my copy has arrived    Posted:   Mar 18, 2014 - 3:04 AM     By:   capracorn   (Member) i hope L.A. streethawk the series is next and continue with: city of shadows red heat red nights the soldier Spasms Strange behavior All good scores (we can't complain when it comes Franke, Froese, Schmoelling) i mentioned above ones, because to my knowledge there hasn't been a proper release of any one of them. Maybe there isn't enough music to fit a cd. if so. I hope someone will put multiple albums together on 1 cd or 2 cd set.    Posted:   Mar 18, 2014 - 10:56 AM     By:   Michael_McMahan   (Member) This is one of my favorite (released) Tangerine Dream scores. Happy to hear the remaster is worthwhile. I'll be picking this up soon!

Also, for fans of THE SOLDIER you can hear the music from the glider scene 2 minutes into 'ALLEY WALK' on WAVELENGTH.    Posted:   Mar 19, 2014 - 1:31 AM     By:   capracorn   (Member) I could be wrong, but I don't believe there was any overlap between Wavelength and the music released on the Tatort singles, like "Flock," Speed," "Das Madchen auf der Treppe," etc. Nothing on TATORT to my knowledge but it is worth pointing out that BREAKOUT was originally used in Edgar Froese's VITAMIN C track from KAMIKAZE 1989 soundtrack (that film was released in 1982).

VITAMIN C, thats it! i can put my mind at rest now.     General Discussion: Tangerine Dream - Wavelength - LaLa Land    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
