I'm that poster and I spoke out of ignorance ... I haven't heard 
"Back on the Case" yet (BMG is SLOW!). 
Now that I think back, I read an add (not a review) and believed the hype.
Reference Point was so good I figured their next one would have to be good
... glad you spoke up.

Do you mean "The Standing Stones of Callanish" (sp?) ?
Selections from this CD keep turning up on various Hearts of
Space programs.

The same artist came out with a new CD a few months ago
called "The Land of Merlin" which is very quiet but beautiful,
and simply wonderful stuff to listen to while getting a back
rub or falling asleep.  I have heard just a few brief passages
from "Standing Stones" and "Merlin" seems more melodic, with
less of the long sustaining synthesizer chords.

It seems to be longer and longer between the times when I find
a new CD which I become infatuated with, but for me, "The Land
of Merlin" was one.

It was released on the RCA label in 1987 on CD, but unfortunately
now it is out of print.  It is possible that they will re-release
it, but probably not soon.  I have seen the cassette around, but
it's going to be very difficult to find on CD.  If anyone has seen some

Well, I wouldn't say that Karunesh and Anugama are similar to Kitaro. I
suppose every body has their own opinion. I'd say that Kitaro has a
style of his own. Have you tried listening to Kamal... his music can be
found on the same music label as Karunesh and Anugama (Nightingale
Records), but he has more variety than Karunesh (my opinion of course!!)
His albums are "Silhoutte", "Blue Dawn", and "Classics for Love".

I don't have discographies of the artists you mentioned, but you can
always contact Meistersinger Musik for information on Kamal, Karunesh,
Anugama, and all the other Nightingale releases:

I saw them at the Winter Park Jazz Festival a few years back. Really talented.  

Reference Point is very good ... they are kind of acoustic guitar jazz ...
I actaully have a section of CD's that I refer to ask newage/jazz ...

I've been waiting for "Back on the Case" from BMG for months ... that
is probably their next best.

I got their Early Acoustic Alchemy which features early stuff of half the
duo ... interesting ... traces some of the sound's origins ... only for
fans.

I've got a MCA sample which has some cuts from their Red Dust and Spanish

I think there are people out there who like this phase of Tangerine Dream's
career, though they may be somewhat few and far between. (grin) I'm
certainly not one of them, and was similarly dismayed when I bought Atem,
Electronic Meditation, and Alpha Centauri as part of a large TD order. I'd
avoid those two if you didn't like Atem, and recommend them strongly to
those who do. Green Desert starts to get away from the "space music" feel of
Atem, and it gets less pronounced from there on out.

Their finest album? A lot of different answers here, depending on what you
like. A lot of people say White Eagle, which I've only heard once or twice,
haven't been able to find, but don't remember as being particularly stellar.
Tangram tends to get thumbs up, and I agree. Poland tends to get praise as
an excellent live album, and I again agree. If you like any of Phaedra,
Ricochet, Stratosfear, Cyclone, or Force Majeure, you'd probably enjoy the
others in that set. If you like any of Exit, Le Parc, Poland, Underwater
Sunlight, or Tangram, you'd probably like the rest of that set. If you like
Optical Race, Lily on the Beach, Melrose, or Rockoon, you'd probably like
the others in that set. You might also enjoy Canyon Dreams or Chris Franke's
Pacific Coast Highway, both of which are similar to other albums in this
final group (I do). Other people may group things differently: Le Parc is at
the border, I'd say, and many prefer to dissociate Melrose from the final
set I mentioned (though I happen to like them all).

I've also not mentioned any albums I don't own, for obvious reasons.
Pergamon is referred to often, though I can never remeber if it's one people
say to avoid or to snatch up. Livemiles and Logos, I seem to remember as
being on a lot of "avoid this" lists. Zeit is supposed to be a lot like Atem
et al. I know nothing about Rubycon.

Good luck, and good listening!

I am currently looking for sounds similar to Tangerine Dream's album, 
"Exit."  Tour-de-force, moving sounds.  I have heard very many different
sounds by this group and can't seem to find more like this.  If you can
point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.  It is hard to just buy all of their work, for they have over 50 albums under their belt.

No, not a typo, and yes, the same person. He has used both spellings, and I

seen "Krieger" used. His own albums use the "Krueger" spelling.

I'm confused.  Does this mean that it won't be released in the US?  Surely not.
The last 2 Orb albums were relesed domestically by Mercury/Polygram.  

Maybe you mean that they won't be *importing* it for distribution stateside.
This may mean that UFOrb is banned from importaion due to imminent release
in the US on Mercury/Polygram.

  Cannot say about RB, but IMO Thief is excellent.  Very good.  It has
  something in common with Exit, but like so many of TD's albums,
  it has to be judged by its own merits.  One cannot really compare
  it well to any other albums.  

  These are so much matters of opinion that it's exceedingly difficult
  to recommend albums to people.  Putting that aside - I'd recommend
  "Thief" :)

Hans Zimmer ... yes it is very good.  
I haven't listened to it enough to give more than a first impression.
It has a world music feel of African drums and chanting ...
but it is enough of a soundtrack that there are strings (I think).

I listened to it a couple of times when cleaning my house this weekend ...
fun to turn up the volume and let rip.

It's by Hans Zimmer (not sure where you got Jay Horowitz :).  Zimmer has done  
soundtracks for many movies, including: Rain Man (Academy award), Driving Miss  
Daisy (Grammy nomination), Backdraft, Thelma and Louise, Days of Thunder, Black  
Rain, Bird on a Wire, K-2, Power of One (Great movie!), Green Card, Pacific  
Heights and many others (that list taken from the Millenium Booklet).  The  
music is very 'alternative', not very mainstream at all.  I selected it last  
week for winning our company's CD of the Week program (small companys have  
their advantages, too!).  I had seen it in the store and wasn't sure if I  
wanted to plop down $15 for it.  "But hey! if it's on the boss..." I said.   
After listening to it three times the day I got it, I would have easily shelled  
out the money myself.  As far as the Narada compilations that I have (Spirit of  
Olympia, In the Garden, A Childhood Remembered, Millenium) go, it's the best so  
far.  It may not be everyone's cup of tea, however.  There are several tracks  
that have tribal vocals on them.  The vocals are quite well done, with only a  
couple sparse parts that might jolt you out of a trance (should you find  
yourself in one :).  As for instrumentation, there is a healthy spattering of  
synths that carry the melody well, along with various string instruments  
(violins included) and some good tribal sounding drums in parts (not  
throughout).  The booklet also talks about a charango which I have no  
familiarity with.  It has a movie sound (ya know, sweeping chords) to it in  
parts which I'm sure is due to Zimmer's background and the purpose of the album  
(soundtrack to the PBS series).  Overall, though, it stands on its own well.   
If your musical preferences are broad, you will very likely find this album  
good.  I recommend it.  Also, check the used bins, this is one that might  
surprise a few folks.

Hah!  That's amusing.  They are mainly a rock band, but they do have some 
very new-agey songs, especially on their latest album, _Electric_Tepee_.

I would not call them metal.  They do have lots of heavy rock, however.
Science-fiction-oriented rock with great instrumentals.
The heaviness of their albums varies (after all, they've been around for
more than two decades), so you might want to ask the net for descriptions
of specific albums before trying one.

I was going to write a long answer to this question, but then I just

There's a very active mailing list that discusses Hawkwind and BlueOysterCult,
boc-l-request@spcvxa.spc.edu (the common thread being SF/fantasy/horror -

Tangerine Dream fans...

Tangerine Dream? On tour? When I can actually go see them? Too much. Anyone

Also, what's the lineup on this tour?

I'll probably see them no matter what. My entire TD collection consists of
records that were released between the period of a year before my parents
met and my kindergaten years. Just to see them is an event for me, especially
after the stories of Tangerine Dream's tour of Poland in '83 that my father's
friends are so fond of torturing me with...

"I just stopped by your world on my long journey..
 I have seen many a world under many a sun...
 But none so timeless as Your World under its Sun.."
