"One of the best and earlier T.D.'s production. Along with Tyger, Turn of Tides, Underwater Sunlight, Optical Race, Lily on the Beach and Melrose, it probably comprises the very best music from TD. Recommended!!"

Very pleasing

"Le Parc delivers a more calm and soothing release than their previous outings. No more dark, eerie synth washes that convey a sense of dread and imminent danger. This is a happier, lighter Tangerine Dream, though there are a couple of "mysterious" sounding songs.



All of the tracks are much shorter than traditional TD fare and a bit more accessible since most people are unable to sit still and listen to one song that lasts 20-30 minutes.



"Tiergarten" is an exceptional piece that showcases the "sweet" side of the band.



Unfortunately, this would be the last TD studio album to feature Johannes Schmoelling as a member of the band. Why can't TD ever have a stable lineup? Even today, many musicians come and go from their fold. Maybe Edgar's hard to work with?!?!?



This is a very good album and worth adding to your collection.
