4.0 out of 5 stars The Miramar years live in Poland - worth the admission., November 12, 1998

By A Customer

This recording is simply an unadulterated playback of the second set of the April 23rd, 1997 concert in Zabrze, Poland (No overdubs, breaks, pauses, changes, etc...).

It features music from 1992(Rockoon)thru 1997 (Oasis).

A sense of solidarity is realized when the Little blonde in the park of attractions gets a stirring appluase from the crowd as she chants at the beginning of this Thai Dub version which is the 5th song of the 9 song set.

I cannot be critical of this recording since I cannot criticize the master - Edgar.

Buy this and arrive at your own opinion.

This album presents the second half of Tangerine Dream's live concert set from their 1997 European tour. After the opening (untitled) percussion solo intro, the CD presents over an hour of seamlessly segued fast-paced and concentrated synthesiser and percussion tracks of the kind that the band has come to specialise in over the last ten years. Unlike Tangerine Dream's earlier touring habits, all of the material presented during the tour will be familiar to long-term fans. The music featured here consists entirely of tracks from their 90s albums, mostly from "Rockoon" and "Goblins Club" but with additional items from "220 Volt Live", "Tyranny of Beauty", "Turn of the Tides" and "Oasis" thrown in.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the stage line-up of Edgar and Jerome Froese, augmented by guitarist Zlatko Perica and percussionist Emil Hachfeld are clearly more at home with this material than with that of the vintage set contained on the companion album, "Valentine Wheels". This is an altogether more satisfying affair than that release, and indeed, a great improvement on the other two CDs featuring material from this same concert tour, "Dream Encores" and "Ambient Monkeys". (Four albums from one concert tour -- is this milking it, or wot? ) Even so, this disc is more likely to appeal to someone who was at one of the 1997 tour concerts who fancies a memento of the occasion, rather than to regular collectors of Tangerine Dream's music of the last decade. Perica's distinctive style of virtuosic guitar-playing adds some new twists to familiar numbers, but there is simply not enough new material here to warrant purchasing if you already have "Rockoon" and "Goblins Club", or even "The Dream Mixes".

If you're new to '90s Dreaming, though, this could be a good place to start, giving a fair overview of the band's last ten years of music making. And if you then like what you hear here, you need to go out and buy "Dream Mixes vol 2: Timesquare", "The Dream Mixes" and "220 Volt live" for more of the same ilk.

'Tournado' is a good,live later-day release by Tangerine Dream.Was recorded on April 23,1997 in Zabrze,Poland during the band's second set.You need to keep in mind that there is NO old/vintage material here whatsoever.All ten tracks appear to be from their '90's repertoire,which isn't so bad really.Well played electronic/new age.Line-up:Edgar Froese-mellotron&bass,his son;Jerome Froese-keyboards,Zlatke Perica-guitar and Emil Hachfeld-percussion.For serious Tangerine Dream fans only.Might appeal to some fans of Klaus Schulze,Vangelis,Agitation Free and Ash Ra Tempel.
