Title: Pre-synthesizer Dream
Product review: For people familiar with the synth-heavy later Tangerine Dream, this album is quite different. Preceding even the Mellotron, the album features mostly good old-fashioned electro-acoustic instruments, with a lone VCS synthesizer used only to generate weird sound effects that are not particularly connected to the music. Nevertheless, the overall impression is atmospheric, reminiscent of early Pink Floyd experimentation (which of course is what they were aiming for), heavy on the echo, guitars and drums adding up to a monomental wall of sound on track 2. An essential TD recording, though not quite as good as Atem, their magnum opus from the early synth/mellotron era.
