Tangerine Trees Volume 9

Introduction to Tangerine Tree Volume II:

This show brings us to the beginning of the second full volume of the Tangerine Tree. It will run from Volume 9 through Volume 16.

The Tangerine Tree was a worldwide fan project which had been launched in December 2001 by some members of the Tangerine Dream Mailing List. The purpose of this project was to release unofficial Tangerine Dream recordings in the best possible sound quality by using only master tapes or low generation sources of each concert recording. The source material (audience, soundboard, or broadcast recordings) came from the most authoritative TD collectors worldwide. The sound quality of each recording got enhanced by people who are considered to be real experts in remastering.

Tracks:

[a]
1. London 75.1, Part One 68:54
2. London 75.1, Part Two 40:00
3. London 75.1, Part Three 13:56
Total running time 122:50

Details:

Recording date: April 02, 1975
Recording site: Royal Albert Hall (London)
Composer(s): Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Michael Hoenig
Musician(s): Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Michael Hoenig

Notes:

"Art is either plagiarism or revolution." - Paul Gauguin

Tangerine Tree II (consisting of volumes 9 to 16) was opened with a complete double CD version of the famous London Royal Albert Hall concert of April 2nd, 1975, that had been broadcast by the BBC radio. The sound quality is nearly perfect, as it was mastered straight from the original BBC tape, plus it has the missing "finale" from the first set, taken from a first generation audience recording. This release is unique in that it features one of the very few concerts where Michael Hoenig replaces the absent Peter Baumann. Musically it works well as a live companion to the officially released studio album Rubycon (1975). This release also made the bootlegs Coefficient Of Aural Expansion and Phaedream obsolete, which consist of material from the same concert, but are incomplete and of less excellent sound quality.

Comments:

The Tangerine Leaves was a side project that focused on sources not considered for inclusion in the Trees project for a variety of reasons including many lower quality audience recordings and concerts from various tours where there was little improvisation outside of pre-rehearsed musical passages already documented by the Trees project. This remainder of the Tangerine Leaves project will be shared once the Tree project is completed.

As with all releases of the Tangerine Tree project, this release is made by fans for fans. It must not be sold but is to be traded freely.

There are 92 volumes of Trees and 91 volumes of Leaves. Some of the last Trees were replacements for earlier recordings like the Newcastle 1981 show I just posted so, if it makes sense, I am replacing the newer version for the older recording as I go. For Newcastle, the later Volume was only the second set and the earlier volume included the first set. The 2005 second set recording was such a dramatic approval in sound that I did not bother to post the show with the original 2nd set and created a composite show instead. There are about 10 of these so I think the actual number of Trees will be closer to 80. A few of the later Trees were studio recordings and I will need to track them down to make sure I am not posting anything official.

The short answer is yes, i will be uploading the entire set of both Trees and Leaves. Trees are more involved to upload with notes and art so I am not moving as quickly as I would like. Leaves do not have the same versioning issues as they were essentially one-off projects and were not revisited so uploading them is a faster process. Finally, I have had these sets for so long that I had to do a major file transfer onto a new drive which I am also not quite finished with yet.
