This review is from: Dalinetopia (Audio CD)

Though this release is not completly free of over used chord progressions, and the typical melodic phrasings that made for a tiresome journey to the land of Ninties Tangerine Dream-- been there done that-- I'm ejoying this one quite a bit. It's the clean shimmering mix firstly. The drum tracks are nice, and coupled with nice electronic pulses. The melodies after a second listen begin to really become clear for the patient listener. There is quite a a gorgeouse soundscape created in Dalozapata, and the lush Dalamuerte. The intricate rythmic complexity of Daleroshima, and better Dalasquadore, make one want to buy a five hundred dollar pair of headphones. Dalaglore is chill, and Daluna is fierce!

Also, Edgar Froese is playing guitar on this album!! No stand ins, Finally. To my disappointment though he has lost his love for great lead runs like those we heard in "Three Bikes in The Sky," or the ending passages of "London."

Oh well. Instead he meanders a bit with a reliance on harmonics and tones, but it's ok because this cd is so effective and damned pretty! It really is. To me it is like Mars Polaris, with a little more focus, and consistency.

3.0 out of 5 stars Spacey soundscapes and guitar by Tangerine Dream founder, February 19, 2006

This review is from: Dalinetopia (Audio CD)

Though I've been a huge fan of Tangerine Dream for years I've never been overly impressed by the solo work of Edgar Froese but this cd of surreal tracks and some good guitarwork really grew on me.Some tracks go on too long and a couple are a little bland but sevral are effective in evoking a spacey dreamscape.The final track of Dalinetopia which is Dalinetopia is an effectively eerie finish to this uneven but interesting work .

Edgar Froese had worked with surrealist art icon Salvador Dali. The album is a musical soundscape that salute the larger-than-life personality whose works are timeless.

The 10 tracks have varying, but very rich textures, which cover a wide-range of rhythms and have a special depth in sound. The guitar playing of Froese contains some of his best work ever in the studio. Froese paints an artistically impressive presentation, from album cover to music.
