[Jarreaus]

Here is a very selected discography:
Journey Through A Burning Brain
Atem
Zeit

Don't bother wit any of their 80's or 90's albums

[Pat Gleeson]

My favourites would be:

Rubycon
Tangram
Logos
Stratosfear
Hyperborea
Force Majeure
Exit
White Eagle
Phaedra
Zeit - The most tripped out spaced out album ever :P
Encore
Ricochet
Underwater Sunlight
Poland

The only misstep during the Virgin years (1974-83) was Cyclone (1978), which was a misguided attempt to use Steve Joliffe as a vocalist to replace Peter Baumann.

After 1987, I gave up really. The only decent thing I've heard since is Omniscience from Autumn in Hiroshima - the rest is pants - Edgar Froese's pants

TD went from sublime (Rubycon) to tripe (post '87) so hard and fast, my head spins just thinking about it. Their live output has suffered the same fate.

Rising Runner missed by Endless Sender.......... riiigggghhhhhtttttttt....

[JoeMichelJarre]

And another thing! If I hear that poxy pitch-bent bassy sound ever again on a TD album I think I'll scream. Its almost as bad as the synth harmonica that Yanni uses on all his stuff!

Oh now...don't start me on Yanni...

[Pat Gleeson]

Oh now...don't start me on Yanni...

Please don't :P

Quite like Yanni's album NIKI NANNA meself (sorry Joe). Tangerine Dreams best albums for me Le Parc, Tyger & Thief.

[JoeMichelJarre]

Niki Nanna? You know where you can go and stick your Niki Nanna!!

Actually I do like a few of his tracks, Nostalgia (the orchestral version), the one that starts the Reflections of Passion album (Reflections of Passion..... no no no) and that one with the Dulcimer.... He's an acquired taste, but he looks like a ponce! Quite big in Greece and the States, and probably a better trained musician than most.

I still listen to Poland and Green desert by TD quite a bit...

Am really enjoying some of TD's current output. Their album 'The island of the Fay' is very good indeed.

Listen to this track..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZHYhP3RVVw

Why isn't Jarre writing stuff like this at the moment?
