last night i ended up listening to the 2nd tangerine dream album
begins as a continuation of "electronic meditation," veers into psychedelia, adds a crazy organ, then moves into the beginnings of what would years later be called "space music" (a trippier new agey form of ambient i guess) then ends with the glorious krautrock of ultima thule pt 1... my only criticism of this final track is that it was too damn short, i loved the drums and wanted the whole thing to go on for another 20 minutes.
all of these pieces of music i think were unusual for their time, and all of them were very different from each other, which i guess foreshadows the diversity of what would become their future production.
on to the next one later...
