Their early stuff is probably a bit too "bare bones" to bother with now, although it was fascinating hearing then AS they were released. The one that I still play on occaision is from 1975 called Ricochet. You may also consider listening while doing a light meditation and let the sound take you where it will. (Not quite, housework music, for example.)SnaleSpace said:

A suggestion: Do NOT play this for yourself without being in a meditative state to begin with, at least not the very first time. (IE. start the music say 15 minutes into a meditation. When you are settled have have found your centre.) Last, make sure the volume is sufficient for you to feel the music (Hopefully neighbours wont mind). Simmer for 17 minutes and serve with a chilled glass of juice after.

Korn is another great group. Allthough thier new CD isn't that great, there older stuff combines a few types of genres into one great sounding group. Even the bagpipes fit thier style.

Gotta agree on the Tangerine Dream.
Have you ever listened to any Kitaro? John Tesh's 2 Tour De France discs (but NOTHING ELSE of his!).
Old stuff: Emerson Lake & Palmer. OLD Rush (2112, etc.); OLD Chicago; Jethro Tull; Carlos Santana; Kansas (Leftoverture); CSN&Y; OLD Moody Blues;
Jazz Stuff: Romantic Warrior; Weather Report; Miles; Deodato; Pat Metheney & Lyle Mays; John Kaizan Neptune and Mu-ryo; Buena Vista Social Club;
More Modern: Cirque du Soleil scores; David Arkenstone; Shadowfax;
Just learning: Trans-Siberian Orchestra;
More later, when I can look at my collection.

There's some tracks by Yes I like to listen to during altered states of consciousness as well, but I've just listened to some samples of Ricochet and wow! It's live ay?YmirGF said:Hehe... I am now a happily un-married 50 year old bachelor, and I do know what you mean.

I've had so many people recommend Phaedra to me I've gotta ask you're opinion. Don't worry about the era, the average original release date in my collection is probably 1972 (not counting the classics, which would probably make it circa 5th century due to a love of Chinese folk music.
)Reviewby John BushPhaedra is one of the most important, artistic, and exciting works in the history of electronic music, a brilliant and compelling summation of Tangerine Dream's early avant-space direction balanced with the synthesizer/sequencer technology just beginning to gain a foothold in nonacademic circles. The result is best heard on the 15-minute title track, unparalleled before or since for its depth of sound and vision. Given focus by the arpeggiated trance that drifts in and out of the mix, the track progresses through several passages including a few surprisingly melodic keyboard lines and an assortment of eerie Moog and Mellotron effects, gaseous explosions, and windy sirens. Despite the impending chaos, the track sounds more like a carefully composed classical work than an unrestrained piece of noise. While the title track takes the cake, there are three other excellent tracks on Phaedra. "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares" is a solo Edgar Froese song that uses some surprisingly emotive and affecting synthesizer washes, and "Movements of a Visionary" is a more experimental piece, using treated voices and whispers to drive its hypnotic arpeggios. Perhaps even more powerful as a musical landmark now than when it was first recorded, Phaedra has proven the test of time.

Anybody who will do electronic versions of Aaron Copeland, or hymns, ain't a Wanker, mate! Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Carl Palmer...........Karn Evil 9, Fanfare for the Common Man, Hoedown, Jerusalem, Lucky Man........SnaleSpace said:Oh no! Did you just say ELP.... :tsk: . I love Prog rock. Esp the 70s varieties, but I won't listen to ELP. Genesis is about where I draw the line in that direction.
Musically interesting, but the Wank factor! They're off the scale there mate
Sure you aren't confusing them with ELO? Electric Light Orchestra was absolute wank. I almost ralphed just a day or so ago when JCPenney's started using their stuff in some new commercials on the tube.......
