Tangerine Dream - Ricochet I (1975)

Ricochet é o sétimo grande lançamento e primeiro álbum ao vivo do grupo alemão de música eletrônica Tangerine Dream .

Foi lançado, pelo selo Virgin , em 1975. Consiste em duas composições paralelas mixadas de gravações de estúdio e a parte do Reino Unido de sua turnê europeia de agosto-outubro de 1975.

O som do álbum é semelhante ao de outros lançamentos "Virgin Years" do grupo, contando fortemente com sintetizadores e sequenciadores para produzir uma paisagem sonora ambiente densa , mas é muito mais enérgico do que seus trabalhos anteriores.

Ricochet utiliza mais percussão e guitarra elétrica que seus antecessores Phaedra e Rubycon , e beira o rock eletrônico . A principal inovação do álbum é o uso de ritmos complexos e multicamadas , prenunciando a direção da banda na década de 80 e 90 para gêneros similares de música eletrônica como Delerium ( projeto paralelo de Front Line Assembly).

De acordo com o box oficial de In Search Of Hades , a Parte 1 foi inteiramente gravada no The Manor Studio, na Inglaterra. A linha de abertura do sintetizador foi baseada na abertura do show no Fairfield Halls em Croydon , mas foi regravada para o álbum. O resto da Parte 1 foi inteiramente criado em estúdio pela banda a partir de diversas sessões improvisadas.

Chris Franke, Edgar Froese and Peter Baumann. I’ll never forget them, got all their early albums. Slow, subtle rythm and paradigm shifts. Many people freaked out and hated them, called them boring and tedious. These people never cared to listen and let emotions flow. Ricochet always had a calming effect on me.❤

Nearly 50 years old. And somehow this music fits better to our current digital age than what you can hear today.

Bought the Ricochet album in 76/77. Listening now in 2024, i can still remember the sequence and sounds as it progresses. Some things just

When I think of Germany and what it represents to me, it’s this era. This was a great gift to the world. Tangerine Dream, Klaus Shulze, Kraftwerk, and Popol Vuh. Coney Plank. Certain albums in the seventies. It was an incredible thing. People think the seventies were all about disco. For me it was this era. Incredible time.

I was at Coventry Cathedral 1975 aged 21 and got to see Tangerine Dream, brilliant atmosphere.

Me and my wife saw TD perform Ricochet live at Birmingham Town Hall in 1975, the power of those synths was tremendous, never forget it to this day

One of the greatest albums in this genre. Even after nearly fifty years.The first seconds are already awesome.This is a kind of music from the cosmos itself.

Found this in 1976 after spending most of a year in Guatemala, Mexico, and El Salvador. This and Kraftwerk. Historic!

Electronic music was once very difficult to do well, especially live. TD were masters.

Brilliant Electronic Band ! Poland Loves Tangerine Dream ;-)

I loved Ricochet, my first of many TD albums, bought this when I was just 16 and an apprentice earning a few bob. Great to hear it again. I still so love the seventies, I listened and loved everything - Bowie, Punk, Dylan - Desire, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Floyd, ELP, Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, Joni, BJH. What a decade of the greatest music.

Je suis allé voir Tangerine Dream à l'Amambra, à Bordeaux, en 1978. Ce fut une expérience hors du commun ! J'ai tout leur LP !

Wir haben uns immer Donnerstags Abend getroffen mit guten Freunden um die Elektronische Musik zu hören und dabei ein Paar joints geraucht

Holy crap, I came across this by accident: the images at the start are of the old and new Coventry Cathedral where this concert took place. I was born and raised in Coventry but I was just a toddler back then. I heard about this concert years later but never saw footage of it 😂

This was the album my brother used for his 35mm slide shows. This music works beautifully in that purpose as it does for just about any type of listening pleasure.

The music on Ricochet is reminiscent of the Sorcerer soundtrack. Love this period.
