elfsI'm about to say something that would make my twenty-year-old self sneer and call me old and out of touch. I recently went back through my CD collection and ripped one particular band's whole oeuvre. I don't have about every other album, and I've come to one conclusion:
Tangerine Dream wasn't really all that good.
Advancing technology gave them vistas undreamed-of when they first sat behind their Moogs in the 1970s, yet they remained the same staid, boring producers of vapidity they were when they had only three channels, a million patchcords, and an analog mixtable.
Even Vangelis evolved more eclectically and more rapidly than Tangerine Dream.
