Cock Robin - Cock Robin
Cock Robin - First Love/Last Rites

I while ago I bought their 2nd album After Here Trough Midland which I have liked a lot. Now I listened to the first and third albums again to make my mind if I want to try and buy them too. Well, these are "nice" albums, but in my opinion After Here Trough Midland is better. I feel like it is enough for me from this group. I can of course check out their newer releases, but I have been after 80s pop style.

Tangerine Dream - Electronic Meditation

Far from the best offerings by the band, but kind of cool in its own way if you are in the mood for hippy, experimental and crazy rock music.

A great live artifact, this 1980 concert from The B52s, recorded in Passaic, NJ, at the Capitol Theatre.

It's a relatively short (41 minutes) CD, mostly Sephardic liturgical hymns and romanceros, but (attention @Brian ) with about ten minutes worth of Turkish music, including one piece composed by Sultan Abdulaziz.

Tangerine Dream - Green Desert

While being heavily remixed in 1984 and released in 1986, this music was initially composed in 1973 between Atem and Phaedra. Listening to it between those two feel proper for that reason.

50th anniversary release:

brewski · December 12, 2025, 02:26:23 PM

From Nov. 5 at the Lederkusner JazzTage in Germany, Elvis Costello and the WDR Big Band, thanks to Arte. At 71, Costello may not be quite what he used to be, but with the fantastic band, still puts on quite a show.

Tangerine Dream - Phaedra

A favourite of many, but for me this album has always been a bit bland. It lacks the "cosmic" coolness of the albums prior to it. It also isn't as sophisticated in its use of sequencers are the following releases (Rubycon is imho superior version Phaedra's ideas). Phaedra is an important phase in the evolution of Tangerine Dream, but imho not the high point in their catalogue some fans claim.
