Search - Tangerine Dream :: Architecture in Motion

Top Soundtrack from Tangerine Dream.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Better than Transiberia, this Soundtrack album is my personal favourite amoungst recent TD soundtrack releases. The tracks here show a sign that the TD stile is modernising, like with Mars Polaris. With a more 'techno' approach on some tracks and with the added mixes, it's a recording that's fine to listen too as a stand alone music album. I can't get track 2 out of my head! I now want to see just how this was used in the picture itself..."

Yet another album trying to sell us what we already have

"It's incredible what a band out of ideas might try to sell us. Once again, for the n-th time, we are offered old material in a new packaging for a new price. Foolish me - after "Mars Polaris", a decent album of 1999, I was tempted to buy "Architecture in Motion", advertised as a new soundtrack. There are not too many soundtracks from the Froeses in the 90s, so I bought this CD, and that's why I write this review to discourage you from doing so. There is almost nothing new here. 'Stoneyard' is a mix of "Zoning", "Goblins Club" and "Mars Polaris". Enormous feeling of deja-vu. 'Silver Siren' is a mix of "Dream Mixes II" and "Mars Polaris" - what an irony! The same comment applies to 'Beauty of the Blast', with a small difference that it's ripped from 'Mars Polaris' only. Dream Sculpture can be found on the aforementioned discs. 'Last Trumpet on 23th Street' is a mix of a theme from "Mars Polaris". Reheated, that's all. 'Art of Destruction' is a renamed version of a track known from "Goblins Club" and "Dream Mixes I". Or was it "Dream Mixes II"? Then we have two more tracks, where at least they preserved the original names: 'Timesquare' and 'Jungle Journey'. Thus, out of over 52 minutes of music, we are left only with one new track, 'Forced to Surrender'. Does that one track justify purchasing the album advertised as new? Hardly. This is just not honest. Buyer beware."
