I think I only know one track of theirs (my brother had some stuff) which I wasn't in to at the time.  Autobahn 

 

Hi Sprout, the video above is a p**s take. You don't really need to know their music to enjoy, just their style, which is electronic as you know from Autobahn.

I thought it was funny.

I remember that from one of his live shows!

That's where I first saw it too. On a DVD to be precise.

Good, glad you enjoyed. 

I knew that German O Level would come in useful one day.

Oh blimey Enthusibles! 

 

I've hit the jackpot on this one!  Saw Kraftwerk live at the Cambridge Corn Exchange way back in 197mumble! 

 

But I also saw the two members of the band again when I was brought tickets for Bill Bailey... Tinselworm tour I think it was... 

 

Sometimes I worry about me. 

loved it 

I like Bill Bailey 

I'm a big fan of Bill Bailey from way back - used to see him when he was starting out at the Edinburgh Fringe.

It's sometimes forgotten know, but he was originally a musician, and much of his early comedy was music-based. The high point of his early shows was the performance of nursey rhymes in various musical styles - culminating in "Richard Clayderman"'s interpretation of "Three Blind Mice" - complete with glitter-ball!

 

BTW: I'd like to think his "Hokey-Cokey" routine was inspired by this:

 

I can't see the piece however I saw BB doing the

Kraftwerk skit. One of the guys with him did one if the funniest musical humour pieces ever, if I remember it correctly, Mao tse Tung as Brian Ferry doing Virginia Plain.

I also loved BB in his early musical comedy days.

That's Kevin Eldon.

Never mind Brian Ferry, though: is it just me, or does he look more than a little like Gary Numan in that routine?

Oh I don't know. Memories eh?

I never liked Kraftwerk when I was young.

Another vote for Tangerine Dream!

I like both Kraftwerk and Bill Bailey.

 

But now as an adult you think they care fantastic?  

 

Here, have a listen to a couple of albums.

Just been buying up loads of Tangerine Dream albums I don't own. 

I have Alpha Centauri, Zeit, Phaedra, ricochet, rubicon, and stratosfear. I doubt very much that I'll be buying the other 80/90 albums.

Ah, you see, my youth and TD era was the 80/90's so I went for those, but I have been going back in time and picking up all those album you mentioned plus Force Majeur. My faves are White Eagle and Logos Live. 

Sorry! I meant 80/90 as a number and not date Though it makes sense on both levels I suppose. Yes! I am very old, that was my era.

 

Ah, I'm with you now GJ. Yes, TD are very prolific, I have got all the albums from the periods I want, but like you will not be getting all of them. there is also a lot of compilation and official bootlegs. I have some soundtracks, but really want a copy of The Keep.

Wow. You wait all your life to come across someone who admitted to liking Tangerine Dream like I did and two come along at once!  

It has never seemed the correct forum Judith, however I suspect several of us like music.

 

 

Hi Xochi and GJ,

 

I'm so pleased we all like Tangerine Dream (whatever period or album) that I need to do something to express my immense joy 

 

So I am going to get out all of my TD CD's and take a photo of them and post it here. A bit self indulgent - yes, but what the hell !!

 

If I can get to the vinyl I may even post that.

Hi Xochi and Garage Joe,

 

I have taken a photo of my Tangerine Collection on CD for you to see.

 

Open in new windows is bigger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vair good

I must try to get a listen of some of the more recent(ish) stuff.

Don't make me post pictures of my Zappa collection!

 

I have a friend who is a big Zappa fan too. Go on, photograph them. I enjoyed getting them all together. Some I have listened to, the more recent purchases (with price stickers) have not been listened to as yet.

To be honest, I put all the official stuff on my iPod and ebayed them. I have probably thirty boots and an aluminium box containing most of his live concerts. Then a whole bunch of covers and some of their live concerts! Some of my friends can't bear to let anything go and have whole walls bedecked with everything in every format and every different mix.

 

Err, that would be me !!!!   

 

One day I may post a picture of my music room - once I have alphabetised and ordered my entire collection.

 

A little bump for Xochi.

I had a listen to Phaedra today. Then another blast from the past, May Blitz.

 

After Phaedra, you should have a listen to other albums you don't own via YouTube / Spotify / Grooveshark etc. Let's get Xochi digging out some old TD and listening to it too 

 

I am planning on trying to take off Friday & Monday. Would be a good time to listen to some of the TD's I have not yet listened to. Phaedra seem like a good place to start - I'll follow your lead.

I still have about fifty poond worth of iTunes, so I may download some.
