Artist: Tangerine Dream
P: 1982/ 1994
Awesome. Deep. Atmospheric. And all the best bits from The Keep. Magnificent!
Logos (Parts 1-2) lasts for 45 minutes and the encore, Dominion, named after the venue, is only five minutes long.
Part 1 starts with an introduction of the band. The announcer thanks the audience for being patient, as the band went on stage, much later than initially planned. The track melodramatically begins with spluttering synths and a sinisterly repeated melody line. This part could be heard at concerts one year prior to this show, in an extended and more mean version. And the fact that TD played extremely loud during the early eighties, could only increase the feeling of the mood, in a physical way. Electronic Body Music? Yes, I do think so. But it isn't that dark all the way through. A little later, a beautiful, sad melody is heard. To be in the audience and to witness it, must have been truly touching. People doesn't hesitate to give a round of applause, although one note insistently keeps it going. It's probably Chris Franke who press the key. In an interview from the seventies, he once said, he was annoyed by the fact, that people began clapping in the very moment their lengthy excursions had died out, as they truly deserved some minute's silence!
A way to avoid people from clapping at the wrong time, he thought it would work, if he kept a note going on for a couple of minutes, instead. Then we're at the coolest part of the album. A cleverly programmed drum pattern is accompanied by a sample (it almost sounds as scratching), with the words "Wake Up!" repeated several times.
The final part of Logos Part 1 has a very beautiful melody, and belongs in the category of TD classics.
Tangerine Dream live at the Dominion Theatre in London on November 6, 1982.
All material written and played by Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling, Edgar Froese.
