#TANGERINE DREAM LE PARC PLUS#
The album was completely remastered and comes with a nice 16-page booklet including numerous photos plus an essay written by journalist Malcolm Dome. In April 2012 the album was re-released by Esoteric Records on their Reactive label as part of a re-issue of the TD back catalogue of the Pink and Blue Years. Le Parc saw several re-releases in CD format throughout the years. Nowadays you can't really use it anymore, it's as used up as the typical 80's orchestra hit sample." (Facebook, October 2020) I hadn't heard the flute sound anywhere else at that time. I know, Chris was one of the first people to own an Emulator I because of his personal connections to E-mu. Unfortunately this Shakuhachi flute sound has become so worn out that it is hard to bear nowadays. My favorite on Le Parc was always Yellowstone Park. I think Edgar was a bit annoyed by the excessive use of the PPG Waveterm by Johannes and the tunes sounded too hectic and technical to him. I remember that Edgar did not like the tracks at all and was extremely upset about them. I was in Austria at the time when the tunes of Johannes arrived by mail. Jerome Froese: "During the Le Parc production the atmosphere between Edgar and Johannes was already quite tense and everyone worked individually on the songs. The remaining five compositions were by Edgar Froese. Chris Franke's only contribution was Yellowstone Park (Rocky Mountains), while Johannes Schmoelling supplied Central Park (New York), Le Parc (L.A. Though the composer credits of all tracks were shared by the three TD musicians, in October 2020 Jerome Froese confirmed that they were composed and performed individually.

It's not macrocosm, it's microcosm."Įdgar Froese has been quoted as saying, "I look at our compositions as travel music, adventure music, much of which has been inspired by the places we've visited over the years." And in fact, Le Parc was inspired by nine parks and gardens around the world. It's more complicated if you go into it, but breathing in means that by the natural aspect of breathing, it's inside and not spacey. The simple concept is the inside and outside world. Edgar Froese in an interview with Jonathan Miller: "Tangerine Dream is like breathing - the first 12 or 13 years was breathing out and the other decade is breathing in. In another way, too, Le Parc was a turning point in the musical history of Tangerine Dream: the much-beloved atmospheric or 'spacey' 20-minute long epics had gone in favour of nine quite short titles, the longest clocking in at barely over six minutes. The 1985 album Le Parc was the last official studio release with Johannes Schmoelling, who left Tangerine Dream in October 1985. Like the apparent distances in a picture, things have no reality in themselves but are like a heat haze." "The world, indeed, is like a dream and the treasures of the world are an alluring mirage.
