Tangerine Dream

<< < (2/2)

Budgie:
I've only got "Rockoon" and "The Best of" on CD although I've got about 3 or 4 other albums on vinyl including the live album "Encore", "Exit" and "Force Majeure".

Their first sound track was for Sorcerer (another album I've got  :wink: ) back in 1977!!
From what I've read, it was only Christopher Franke that did the Babylon 5 sound tracks, after he left Tangerine Dream.  :-k

I even saw them in live at Portsmouth Guildhall in about 1982!!  :D

Streethwak is the only TV theme they did AFAIK. There were a few films, including the one mentioned, Risky Business, Legend (Unicorn Theme) and Theif.

Franke Left in 87 IIRC and did a few other things before being brought into B5 to do the theme and abient music. I still think its one of the best Sci-Fi soundtracks ever.

B5, Sleeping in Light is probobly one of the most powerful bits of Sci-Fi ever too :)

You've got a PM.

laser_jock99:
Big fan of Tangerine Dream- I'm surprised more people haven't heard of them? Their music seems to pop up everywhere in films & programs.

Evilgoat:
Christopher Franke carried the band forward quite a bit, it depends on who you call Tangerine dream as franke is still doing sound-tracks in that sort of style.

Things have gottne more orchestral but its a good mix, try 'Voices of Authority' which was used as the theme for one B5 season.
