SOUNDTRACK

Artist: Popol Vuh
P: 1978 / 2004
The new issue of Nosferatu contains more than 20 additional minutes of material left off the original release and for the first time appears as the complete soundtrack in the correct running sequence. Nosferatu contains four pieces which rank among the best in the Popol Vuh catalogue, thanks to a serene, mystic, deeply personal stance that basically transposes Hosianna Mantra into gothic music.

Artists: Projekt Gamma + Erich Schauder

Wonderful sequencertracks in the traditionel Berlin School style.

This is a set with a BluRay that includes a picture show and a MP3 CDr with the tracks from the show.

Artist: Rick Wakeman
P: 1983 / 2013
Rerelease of his soundtrack album from back in 1983 for a movie about the football games in 1982.

Artist: Steve Jolliffe
P: 2007
Limited edition with autograph by Steve.
Original soundtrack from the BBC documentary "Vision Earth". Here we hear Jolliffe from a different side, with Berlin School sequences and more dramatic melodies with excellent syntheizer selection.

Artist: Synergy
P: 1982 / 2004
As the only soundtrack in the Synergy catalogue, “The Jupiter Menace” accompanies the SF-movie released in 1982 about the disasters that would happen in 2000 when planet Earth topples over because all planets in the solar-system align. The timing of this release must have been unfortunate, because both the movie and music were probably completely overshadowed by the more or less concurrent SF-release of “Blade Runner” with the great Vangelis soundtrack.
To be sure, there is some forceful effect-music on this album with the usual vintage Synergy sounds but, always a danger with soundtracks, it suffers from containing too many under-developed themes of under two minutes in duration. The few slightly longer tracks that are present are taken from 5 earlier albums which means the amount of new music takes up less than half an hour.

Artist: Tangerine Dream
P: 1989
CD-5 single included an extended non-album version besides the LP version of this track.
This was a very unique 1989 project for Edgar Froese, as the soundtrack is for a 360-degree movie that was shown at the premier of the Imagine 360 theater in West Berlin.
With Paul Haslinger, Froese delivers a much more metallic edge to the soundscape, though it is a vision from the sadness/bitterness of separation. Alexander Square is the foundation piece to the work. The music obviously comes from the heart and Froese takes a journey past the man-made wall and barbed-wire to musically gaze into the soul of the people.

What a Blast: Architecture in Motion is another soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. It is for a documentary film of the same name.
The film is about razing buildings and the power of explosions and implosions. Edgar Froese and Jerome Froese have created an appropriately dramatic and active soundscape to accompany the images and to create imagery. This is energetic Berlin school e-music.
For fans of that style, this is a good disc.
A detonating soundtrack for a really outstanding video series about "Architecture in motion".

Artist: Tangerine Dream
P: 1987
Composed in the spring of 1987, "Canyon Dreams" was available only via the VHS video until 1991, when finally Miramar decided to publish it on CD. The digital release does not include the introduction track, a short but interesting piece of music. What we get instead, is a bonus track, composed and performed by Jerome Froese, a regular member of the band in 1991. It's absolutely divergent from the musical style, spirit and quality of the material, and thus I can't possibly see the reason for its inclusion. For fans, it was the absolute LAST chance to hear music from TD while Chris Franke was still a part of this great band.

Here the last copy of the Miramar Version!
