Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 2007 LTD Edition In November 2006 TD got the offer from a Japanese Business Manager, who turned 82 last year, to compose and record the so-called 'Five Atomic Seasons'. As it was clear that this was a real serious assignment, TD were told that the person who ordered the composition did study during his youth in the two cities which had been destroyed by atomic bombardments back in 1945, Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The five compositions had to be in length 54 minutes each. Part one and two, - Spring and Summer 1945 - the client spent living in Nagasaki, while he lived in Hiroshima in Autumn and Winter of 1945, where he survived one of the most lunatic and barbarian war crimes ever done by mankind. Spring and Summer will describe the normal atmosphere in a Japanese city with some of the rising premonitions of what will happen on August 9th 1945. Autumn and Winter in Hiroshima will musically mirror what happened after August 6th 1945. "Springtime in Nagasaki" is a fantastic album, a real stormer! New and unusual sounds and rhythms in combination with the given theme of the time before the atomic bomb explosion in Nagasaki creating a sound experience which is catapulting you into another tangerine dream - it's simply overwhelming! A must-have for every true fan. This cd seems to tie up very much to older more experimental music from TD like Phaedra or Stratosfear. I like Edgar Froese's composition more, because it's closer to the dramatic topic and has nice sequencing parts in it.
Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 2008 Autumn in Hiroshima is the long awaited third part of THE FIVE ATOMIC SEASONS. A musical journey accompanying Mr. H. T. to an old Zen Monastery where he is living for a short period of time and getting introduced to the secrets of life and death. Within this rather unemotional period he learns about the contemplative views which he has to develop within himself in contrast to the desastrous life out there everybody is confronted with in these days. Instead of giving up hope after the blasts he feels an enormous energy and change of consciousness which guides him directly to something very strange... Synthetic choirs and strings, also mixed with real choirs, let the music fit to the theme and give it a shinny colour.
Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 2007 Tangerine Dream "Summer In Nagasaki" is the second part of the so-called "Five Atomic Seasons". The compositions reflect the experiences Mr. H. T. - an 82 year old Japanese business man - made during the time of the atomic bomb dropping in summer 1945 in Japan. This dramatic incident coincided with the relationship to his early love - his student fellow named Ayumi - who had no chance to survive that horrible attack. H. T. was so heavily shocked that he decided to abandon the world by going into a monastery. The music - written as one long track of 54 minutes - dramatically describes a part of his life and destiny. The music is more in the old TD style, which was not heard for a long time.
