Under a light rain, the song of a shaman rises, a solemn and moving breath, directed towards the deities of the earth. A journey lasting 7 hours which, like much ambient music, teaches us to live the details that surround us and make them the soundtrack of our everyday life.

"You can say you don’t like their music, that it is dated, but you cannot question the historical value of these two figures." "In 1974, electronic music had never been heard as immediate, extroverted, I would dare say danceable."

The instruments compose a chaotic, obsessive sound, where the single notes become percussion or noises with a decidedly industrial flavor. Personally, I consider it a fundamental album, especially historically, because from here passed and depart various personalities who will form an important part in the history of German cosmic music.

Songs like the splendid title track indicate the author’s ability to compose simple and dynamic melodies that manage to strike a chord while not being banal. I think there’s no better way to commemorate this man, whose career ended so prematurely, than to listen to his only record.

Music that soothes the soul with its gentleness, while it also disturbs it by preventing it from taking off as it would like. We are simply faced with an artist who knew how to create a style capable of being different from any other and able to continually renew itself.

The album can ideally be described by dividing it into two parts. A crescendo of strings accompanies the synth which maneuvers through phrases that are short and fleeting but sufficiently captivating to remain etched in the mind.

It is music that cannot be described in words because it flows without exalting, without impressing firmly in the listener’s memory, and can only be enjoyed if faced with the right attention. To love Tangerine’s early works one must have the ability to appreciate the small things.
