Tangerine Dream - 'Tournado' (Blueprint) 3 1/2 stars.......2005-06-20
This is not your father's Oldsmobile..........2002-06-03
The introductory percussive accelerando acts as a tempo catapult to take us from 0 to ~150 bpm. Although the cuts are very similar in arrangement to the version on the studio albums, I must say there are subtle improvements in voicing and articulation and even some new improvization in some places which represent perhaps an experienced "second thought" on how to present the compositions. I disagree with the statements made here that they are identical performances of the studio albums. If you own the studio versions, it may not be worth it to get this CD, the improvements are insufficient to warrant re-purchasing these pieces. But if you dabble with TD, this is a great "best-of" style album, having a combination of "live feel' and "well-rehearsed" nature.
The recording quality has great presence and spectrum. Curiously, there seems to have been a TDI production error (perhaps in the consumer's favor) - my CD has 10 tracks but there are only 9 titles according to the album liner.
Once upon a time..........2002-01-19
Once upon a time, Tangerine Dream concerts were a unique phenomenon. Musicians appeared on stage with no plan, with no pre-recorded melodies to replay, like on "Tournado", but with creativity and spirit. One of them usually started playing first, then others joined, and the composed music onstage, in our very presence. Nowadays, it's not so. Like any ordinary rock band, Tangerine Dream appear before us, and shamelessly replay the same tunes we know from studio albums, with perfection, with no change whatsoever. What is the reason to go to such a concert? I had too many opportunities to see them live in my home country, but I refused to do so. I claim I didn't lose anything. If a band of this type replays the same numbers as they appear on studio albums , and if these tunes are shallow and unimaginative - what's the point, may I ask? There is none, that's what.
In 1997, Edgar Froese released four concert albums. One, "Ambient Monkeys", consists of prerecorded tapes with screaming monkeys and other animals to accompany the crowd waiting for the gig. This CD, "Tournado", is the selection of the most favored numbers from studio albums, replayed identically as on the albums themselves, rendering the album useless. Another CD, "Dream Encores", includes only encores, played bis after the gigs. The last one, "Valentine Wheels", is a refreshing set of golden-oldies. Something for everyone, one might say. I boughtt all four CDs, for a very high price (TDI, Froese's own label is not cheap), and I am mostly disappointed. No matter how hard I try, I cannot recommend you buying another album, where you will get exactly the same tracks as on numerous compilations, studio albums, albums with mixes, etc. Save your money for something else than "Tournado".
A good live 'best-of' concert.......2000-08-09
Perhaps not surprisingly, the stage line-up of Edgar and Jerome Froese, augmented by guitarist Zlatko Perica and percussionist Emil Hachfeld are clearly more at home with this material than with that of the vintage set contained on the companion album, "Valentine Wheels". This is an altogether more satisfying affair than that release, and indeed, a great improvement on the other two CDs featuring material from this same concert tour, "Dream Encores" and "Ambient Monkeys". (Four albums from one concert tour-is this milking it, or wot? ) Even so, this disc is more likely to appeal to someone who was at one of the 1997 tour concerts who fancies a memento of the occasion, rather than to regular collectors of Tangerine Dream's music of the last decade. Perica's distinctive style of virtuosic guitar-playing adds some new twists to familiar numbers, but there is simply not enough new material here to warrant purchasing if you already have "Rockoon" and "Goblins Club", or even "The Dream Mixes".
If you're new to 90s Dreaming, though, this could be a good place to start, giving a fair overview of the band's last ten years of music making. And if you then like what you hear here, you need to go out and buy "Dream Mixes vol 2: Timesquare", "The Dream Mixes" and "220 Volt live" for more of the same ilk.
