New colours, new look-and-feel, new functions: the promised very new TD site is on the web and running. Edgar still considers the web as an artistic form of expression. It shouldn't be a problem, and, at the very first sight, the new TD page is a pleasure and an excitement for the eyes, no doubt.…

We've just received a letter from Voiceprint with some really good official news: the new studio album called Madcap's Flaming Duty is really on the way and planned to be released 2nd April. It is really dedicated to the memory of Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, and features a long list of musicians:…

The Tempodrom live DVD is the breaking news of the week but we have to mention the two new CDs which are also available from now: first, Metaphor is a four-track EP and manufactured only in 1000 copies. Second, TD plays TD is a full disc of 14 track with such classics like Logos Velvet, Beach…

We are very glad to announce the great news: the video recording of the fabulous Tempodrom show is out now and anyone can order from the TDI shop!We have to say a big thank you for the quick work for all of the participants, and will place our orders soon... :)The price is a very fair 25…

In 1982, one of the biggest pop sensation of our country was the so called Chip Festival where Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze performed (the third player, OMD has cancelled their appearance). It is great to recall memories for a lot of us from that time - a full, 11,000 people crowded arena,…

Some days ago a new video has appeared on YouTube: produced by a German television station in 1980, it contains interviews with the Froese-Franke-Schmoelling trio and live, improvised music of them at the TV studio. Since we have very few material containing true 70s-style improvisation of the…

According to Voiceprint, a new studio album release is close to us: the debut planned early next year, and the title is "Madcap's Flaming Duty". The news release promises a monumental album which is hard to ignore. More in Heiko's post at Yahoo Tadream.

Since its debut of 1983, digital FM synthesis always played a crucial role in creating the TD sound. Many of the well known sound programs of the 80s came from these Yamaha devices - the first and flagship product of them was the legendary DX7, there were no any keyboard player in the world who…

Just arranging the Berlin picture sets we took during the september trip - and we still have treasures in the photo-mass.Just a quick sample that Berlin looks like a TD-city on the D-day of September. The tangerinedream.hu-weared people of us has invaded the town from the morning and made a serious…

Sad news from Heiko Heerssen, father of the Tangerine Tree and Leaves project: he will quit from this business and will not release any additional live concert recording. I shouldn't say it will influence our everyday life heavily but at this point we have to say a big thank you to Heiko for all the…

Occasionally I had to return to Berlin exactly one month after the Tempodrom show and collected an other TD-related photo piece of the city.What you can see in this picture is  probably one of the ten scariest building of the world: ICC aka International Congress Center, where Tangerine Dream…

Having a closed nature electronic music touched me from the radio first. Oxygene and Equinoxe from Jarre has amazed me, and  after the next step - Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon - I discovered Man Machine from Kraftwerk. This album was my favourite for a while, until I catched TD's…

TD's effect on contemporary synth design generally very well known - but there are interesting details which are to be revealed to the public audience. We try to cover some of them. First of all, let's get into the famous Japanese synth maker, Korg's Wavestation. It was based on a late 1980s…

We are sorting the photos taken during our Berlin stay and I realised we still didn't publish any group photo of us. To tell the truth we have no photo where all of our 22 people are on but this one is the closest approximation. In the background you can see the Tempodrom stage while being…

Berlin is a nice and interesting city where almost every place is soundtracked by TD. This is especially true for this building on the picture. Don't guess why, we tell you: it is Palast der Republik, where the world famous 1980 concert took place. (We hope everybody knows the historical impotance…

How Tangerine Dream put itself on my map? That is, how I did first came into contact with TD. Well, not an interesting story, but maybe it shows how diffenert we, TD lovers, have different tastes within the music that TD gives. One day in ~1992, I went to the library (where I used to borrow…

After a year of waiting the third episode of the Dante-trilogy, Paradiso has arrived to us. Inferno was a surprise of his experimental orchestration; Purgatorio set the level even higher with returning to a more conventional pop sound but keeping Inferno's advancements - Paradiso is something mixed…

With a big apetite, I myself have waited for the big day for the start of this journey to Berlin to see Tangerine Dream live. It was a great achievement from us that 22 members of our club could menaged to go, thus making us to be in the top three nations for sure who payed a visit to this…

TD always releases an EP dedicated to their memorable events - it's a tradition already and it continued in Tempodrom with this nice piece.The title of the disk is the same as the event: "40 years roadmap to music" and the cover contains three brand new track from the latest works of the…

A TD performance always draws kind attention to the technical details. We are not in the position to cover the whole equipment on stage but we noticed one or two things.The synth setup was combined from software and hardware synthesizers. Edgar played mainly his old Roland D70 - this early digital…

A massive 2000+ audience filled Tempodrom of Berlin almost fully and having a great experience of Edgar and Co. which meant a total of seven people on stage now. On the first floor gerald Gradwool played their guitars and a new guy (anyone knows his name?) played violin and acoustic guitar. The…

The Hungarian commando is almost ready to fly - the first chunk (including me) arrives tomorrow and will spend the evening in the Tiergarten perhaps.Our uniform has arrived to the headquarters today and the quantity rapidly decreases... You will find a lot of this T-shirt at Tempodrom; but not for…

Since TD has no new message about their upcoming performance (just four days to go!) on the website since April everybody wonders what we can expect. The info they spreaded last time projects a similar program what we got in Shepherds Bush, London, 2005, but it isn't easy to beat. I was really…

Our latest IRL meeting (kept October 29th, 2005) had a speciality: three of us - nicknames: adsr, Peter Lion and me - formed an electronic improvisation trio and gave a 90-minutes live concert with some visuals for the 100+ audience. The event was not advertised in any way only friends…

Edgar, please, don't kill me! What's next is a clear break of your copyright, but this crystal clear evidence of your heroic work must reach the audience.In 1982, TD was not the first western pop production which performed a live concert in Hungary but they were not far from it (between the first…
