The Sessions II (2CD)
Edgar Froese is gone but he seems to have left Tangerine Dream in good hands. This is a 2CD set of live improvisations from a 2017 show in The Netherlands.
"THE SESSIONS II EP contains instant live compositions (about 95 min of music) from the current TD line-up of Thorsten Quaeschning, Ulrich Schnauss and Hoshiko Yamane recorded at the Saturday and Sunday concerts at the E-Live Festival in Oirschot, the Netherlands in October 2017. Tangerine Dream are very much enjoying their new respectively revived concept of performing an improvised session at the end of their concerts. We hope that you will enjoy these spontaneous and exceptional live tracks - inspired by the location and a great audience - as well."
"In their imperial years of the 1970s, Tangerine Dream's live concerts were an electronic exploration, improvised and different every night, with little or no relationship to their smash hit albums, which were similarly esoteric. As the 1980s dawned, their recorded work contained more recognisable themes and they scored some of the biggest films of the decade (Risky Business, Firestarter, Near Dark, Thief, Sorcerer). Now, they are returning in part to those pioneering days, and every show includes a section of improvisation, different every night. The best improvisations are being released as Sessions, and Invisible Hands Music is proud to release them out on deluxe double CD mastered at Abbey Road by Miles Showell.
Tangerine Dream members Thorsten Quaeschning, Ulrich Schnauss, Paul Frick (of Brandt Brauer Frick) and Hoshiko Yamane are all active online during lockdown, including streaming live performances, keeping the band in the spotlight."
