Tangerine Dream - Lily On The Beach
Review by George McKnight
Tangerine Dream's album "Lily On The Beach" is a masterpiece of electronic music. The album features a captivating blend of ambient, new age, and pop elements, all expertly woven together to create a sonic landscape that is both mesmerizing and uplifting.
From the opening track "Radio City" to the closing notes of "Sun Gate," the album takes listeners on a journey through various moods and emotions. The use of synthesizers, guitars, and percussion instruments is masterfully done, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and futuristic.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Midnight in Tula," which features haunting melodies and intricate rhythms that transport listeners to a mystical place. Another highlight is "Lily On The Beach," a dreamy and atmospheric piece that showcases the band's ability to create sonic textures that are both ethereal and grounded.

About Tangerine Dream
Founded by the late , Tangerine Dream is perhaps the premier exponent of "electronic rock" music of the "Berlin School". From their "free-rock" beginnings in the nascent "krautrock" scene to the eventual synthesizer-based trio which signed to , this German group can take significant credit in introducing synthesizer- and sequencer-based electronic music to most of the Western rock world. At the height of their success - during the mid to late 1970s - TD's spacey, pulsing music earned them a tenacious cult following. By the late Seventies, however, line-ups, and more importantly, the formula changed, tilting towards more conventional "rock" music. By the early 1980s, TD was primarily releasing influential soundtrack work, before settling into New Age content by mid-decade.
Formed in Berlin in 1967, the initial line up (on their first release Electronic Meditation) included , (cello) and (drums). Their compositions, or rather experimental improvisations, had roots in the psychedelia of London albeit with the "krautrock" twist. Electronic Meditation is perhaps a misnomer; traditional instrumentation of organ, drums, guitar, cello, flute were hardly electronic and "freak out jamming" is the more appropriate adjective, reflecting the confluence of Twentieth Century avant-garde music. Both Schnitzler and Schulze would depart after this album, with the latter forming and going on to become the other major proponent of the "Berlin School". Second album, Alpha Centauri, saw the addition of long-standing member replacing Schulze, while would come aboard for Zeit. Although unissued until the mid-1980s, Green Desert was recorded in 1973. The core of Froese, Franke and Baumann would sign to Virgin Records in 1973, and the subsequent release Phaedra would cement their style for years to come. Understated, droning keyboard and guitar melodies intertwined with ambient washes of reverberating electronic textures, utilizing synthesizers and sequencers, was typical of the TD sound. Compositions were long, melodic, pulsing pieces. temporarily replaced Baumann for an Australian tour in 1975. One highlight of the Virgin period was Sorcerer, a soundtrack to the film of the same name. After Baumann's departure in 1978, TD experimented with the formula on Cyclone, which saw the addition of , adding vocals and woodwinds and on drums. Force Majeure was the classic of this period. would join for Tangram. This line-up remained stable until the mid-1980s, as the group shifted toward more rhythmic textures. The increased emphasis on sequencers and rhythm in the first half of the 1980s divided fans, as did subsequent releases which veered heavily into relatively accessible, uplifting melodies.
After a brief stint with from 1984 to 1988, TD signed to Baumann's label and then the equally New Agey , fully embracing digital textures and seeking to distance the group from its moody, psychedelic past. replaced Schmölling in 1985, and was in turn replaced by Froese's son in 1990. Franke left in 1987 over creative differences with Froese. After a mid-1990s move to Edgar Froese's own label (later renamed ), TD's reputation as a New Age band became less appropriatefather and son experimented with more modern sounds and revisited elements of past gloriesbut the group's artistic direction remained fairly entrenched in melodic pop-rock territory, with an increased use of acoustic instruments, particularly on stage. With Edgar Froese's death in 2015, the band continues, but with none of its original members.

Summary by George McKnight
Comments
This optical race and miricle mile are in my opinion the most overlooked gems in TDs catalog, the trick is to get the original version of this that was made on the Cubase system and sounds cleaner and dated perfectly over time, also it has the wonderful 90s era artwork of a lady in a bonnet, and a much different and better track order, oh and paradise cove sounds like a Sega saturn soundtrack and Gecko has Banjo Kazooie vibes, what more could you ask for in life.
plus grand chose à voir avec le Tangerine Dream historique. Froese continue l'aventure seul; c'est bien fait (surtout au début de pro 24...), ça s'écoute sans problème mais ça manque de profondeur et ça s'oublie...
Świetna muza, rok 1989 - byłem młody, rozmarzony i zakochany - ukończyłem ósmą klasę, czółem się wolny. Pamiętam że zajechałem tą taśmą mojego kaseciaka, MK-125, zasypiałem z uchem przyłożonym do głośnika - muzyka która sformatowała mi wyobraźnię. Działo się wtedy dużo w muzyce, pamiętam Camel, Marillion, Pink Floyd - same smakołyki, wysoka półka.
I love Tangerine Dream. the song " Lily on the beach" is still in my top ten on my training playlist and "TygerTyger" is stretching music to me. And of course I love the theme from Streethawk being a rider.
feels like this group inspired a ton of video game soundtracks. In the middle of this, I get the feeling of a Sega Genesis sci-fi sidescroller. Reminds me of Lawnmower Man too. :D
Blue Mango Cafe
My Fav Wonderful Album a Masterpiece Desert Drive ?✨ 1989 was great year for Music ?
Me gusta este álbum mucho, aunque el siguiente Melrose mucho más, beautifool
Kenapa album ini gak ada di Spotify ???
The story behind the first track is an interesting one, Edgar overheard on of the TD hq staff commenting how the weather was too hot for her Chinchilla fur coat, she literally said "It's too hot for my Chinchilla" I mean how do you even begin to transcribe that into a musical piece?....maybe the tune came first?
I love this whole album. I believe that it is thier best work. I chose to use Too hot for my chinchilla for my son's talent show magic act. Everyone was asking for copies and who the musical artist was after the show.. Very moving music!!
The synths here are just the way they were at that time. It doesn't sound elevator music-ish to me at all. There's still plenty of interesting guitar work, and the songs themselves are still interesting. If anything, I wish people would play this in elevators. Twenty-Nine Palms has a lot of key changes and sounds a bit like a cross between 80s Yes, and Miami Vice.
This was my favorite TD album during all night astronomical ??✨⭐️observatories through my ?telescope ?
I was 14 years old when this album was released in 89. My dad bought the cassette and I remember listening that every night on my yellow Walkman, going to sleep. It’s the first time I hear it since that time. Even if it did not aged well I think, I’m surprised to see that I’m still emerged and mesmerized by the melody of some tracks. It brings me back to my youth. A good feeling!
Gecko ist ohne Zweifel am besten
Fantastic Album !! Passt aus der Zeit mit Melrose bis Rockoon zusammen. Eine Phase die in dieser Zeit mit ihren Sounds und Melodiebögen überzeugt. Atmosphären und Musik zu Bildern oder Orten.
