Tangerine Dream is a German electronic music band founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese. The group has seen many personnel changes over the years, with Froese having been the only continuous member until his death in January 2015. Tonight they are performing in Helsinki! And I’m going to see them.
My uncle introduced me to the synthesizer music. At first I was very excited about Giorgio Moroder, Donna Summer and Space. But my uncle had very wide taste of music so I was also introduced with rock, classical and electronic music. I already had Cassette tapes with Jean Michel Jarre and Tomita when I started to visit record shops by myself.
I think it was autumn 1981 when I was listening an album by Tangerine Dream… It was their latest release “Exit” and even I think it was little bit boring music I bought it anyway. It was my first electronic music album.
Actually this music was called “Progressive Synthesizer Music” because “Electronic music” didn’t exist yet.
Soon I bought also the previous release “Tangram” and with this I lost my heart to Tangerine Dream!
I’ve been listening them since then. They have simply too many album releases plus Original Sountracks, Live albums, Solo -albums, Colloborations and unofficial releases… to try to make a list here.
But I still think this Tangram is their best album!
The album “Phaedra” was released in 1974 and it was reaching number 15 in the UK album charts. The best known track by TD is the theme from the 80’s TV Show “Streethawk“
Few albums to mention: From 70’s I recommend “Ricochet“, From 80’s “Underwater Sunlight” and especially the track “Song of the Whale, Part Two: …To Dusk” which is an amazing track that tells a story.
From 90’s I recommend “Turn of The Tides“, from 2000’s “Views from a Red Train” and from 2010’s I recommend the album “Quantum Gate”.
They couldn’t have a better timing for their live performance! Tomorrow is my birthday so I guess this will be a evening to remember!
Somebody made nice video of the “Stratosfear” performance:
And still no spyshots of the new S1000XR??!!
Maybe it’s not even coming yet? Maybe it will come later in 2020… We will see! Here’s a new photo from BMW Motorrad:
But no, it’s not the new XR. It looks excatly the same than concept bike about 1 year ago: BMW 9Cento.
So this ne model will be presented in EICMA in 10 days. And we already know another new model: R18
And there will be 4 new models coming… Those two more will be F850R (small naked bike) and possibly this new S1000XR -but nobody knows?
Here are the last pictures from that instagram account:
It was almost 3 months that I didn’t ride with my XR! I didn’t even ride too much Enduro but at least few times… Now it was finally time to do some streetriding and because it was sunday I took also my wife with me! We checked our favorite places Fagervik and Mustio Castle.
The autumn colors are simply amazing at the moment so I took lot of pictures and I also had my drone with me.
In Fagervik we made the walk through the beautiful area up to the church.
Then we stopped in a small hill beside the road to take some pictures. I took the pictures with my drone. The place where we made our stop was about here.
Then the last place to admire autumn colors was in Mustio. This beautiful garden aroung old buildings is simply amazing!
