Back in 1995, Tangerine Dream released a CD entitled "The Dream Mixes", wherein the band revisited tracks from albums of then-recent vintage. "Timesquare" is labeled as "Dream Mixes Volume 2", but these remixes are so extreme as to elude recognition. Delivering high on the satisfaction chart, the music on this 58-minute CD is extremely uptempo and exciting. For TD's second Dream Mixes project, they clearly accessed all of their creative abilities and funneled them fully into this release. Timesquare has a very polished and intricate feel that was lacking from their previous Dream Mixes. TD clearly integrate trance and techno rhythms and beats into this album, but they never satisfy themselves with overlaying these beats with just one rif that repeats for several minutes. This denial of the absortion into the monotony of techno music really gives this album a transcendent quality. The second part of the successful "Dream Mixes" series. Contains one remix and six completely new tracks.
