Details:
The purpose of this 2-CD set is to compile all the Tangerine Dream music that was released outside the regular albums during the ‘70s and the ‘80s, from the best possible sources and with the best possible quality. All the tracks here are therefore taken from samplers, compilations, singles and promos that were released by the band during that period but are out of print since a long time, and are presented chronologically by date of release.
Versions from singles or compilations that are just extracts from the regular album versions were not considered. Alternate versions of album songs were included only when they were a different mix, an extended version or an edited version.
Each track was carefully remastered, with manual cleaning of vinyl crackles and with special attention to ensure a correct speed (some of these rarities available on bootlegs often run too fast).
Additional notes for some tracks:
Ultima Thule Part 1 is the original 1971 mix, not the 2000 remix available on some recent compilations.
Oszillator Planet Concert was recorded live on 21Jun71.
Overture is part of the unreleased "Oedipus Tyrannus" project, recorded Jun74.
Stratosfear and The Big Sleep In Search Of Hades from the Stratosfear single are edited versions.
The single version Monolight is a remixed version.
The extended version of Dr. Destructo has a portion of the original track duplicated to make it longer.
The 8 music tracks from the Risky Business audio movie kit are actually the following:
- Track 1 is an alternate mix of No Future
- Track 2 is an alternate mix of Lana
- Track 3 is an alternate version of Guido The Killer Pimp
- Tracks 4, 5 and 6 are short sound effects
- Track 7 is Edinburgh Castle
- Track 8 is an alternate mix of Love On A Real Train and corresponds to the closing credits
The Dream Is Always The Same and Love On A Real Train from the original soundtrack LP are alternate versions compared to the soundtrack CD versions.
The three versions of Warsaw In The Sun are different remixes.
The single version of Streethawk is a remix.
Horns Of Doom was made available in 1986 but is actually a 1980 recording.
The single version of Tyger is a slight remix, with more percussions during the chorus.
The extended version of Alexander Square is based on the album track Alexander Square Reprise, but with an extended central part.
