I placed the first order today which consisted of the following as noted in my previous post in this series:
Between this order and my previous post, my good friend Joe Ross of EelMada found the following 3 CD’s at a local half price store:
- Underwater Sunlight
- Optical Race
- Lily on the Beach
Since they were in good condition, I had him pick them up for me, not thinking and realizing I already had Optical Race in CD form LOL! (Oh well, it only cost me the price of a lunch and time to spend with a good friend, so no worries 
)
The total cost so far?
64.91 for the first order of 5 CDs.
20.00 for the CDs acquired via Joe. (I’m only stating 20 even though it was more…Like I said, it was an opportunity to sit with him, have lunch and a couple of beers )
In the end, a total of $84.91 which included shipping.
In reviewing my “To Aquire” list, I decided to go with full CD releases, rather than include the individual solo works or singles even though they are chronologically in the next set, so the next batch will probably include the following:
I’m really looking forward to order the next batch after that, as it will include some of my favorite releases which are:
- Force Majeure
- Tangram
- Quichotte (This was the original name for the Pergamon release)
- White Eagle
- Thief
Here’s something interesting….If you search for “quichotte tangerine dream” in search.live.com, my discography list is the number 2 item in the list!! :)
I’ve also decided that once this project is done, I’ll work on building out my copy of the Tangerine Tree. I feel it’s best to first send my money where it is due for the official releases, before beginning to collect the entire set of trees and leaves (See the Tangerine Tree project for more details)

I’ve got most of the ones listed in this post and it’s really making me want to go home, rip them and load them on to my PPC for the journeys to work
Thanks for letting me rediscover these.
The only issue I have with TDream is that their music tends to fall in to two categories:
1 – the blissfully ambient and hypnotic, and
2 – the boring early eighties sounding techno-pop which all seems to sound the same
I much prefer it when you’re faced with an aural challenge such as Zeit or Alpha Centauri; the pretty, chirpy tracks tend to annoy me.
But hey, that’s what personal taste is all about
Hey Colin,
Yeah considering that their overall carreer has spanned nearly 40 years, they have adjusted with the times.
My self, I prefer most of the work between 1975 – 1990 with my sweet spot in the early 80′s which I think is a bit opposite of yours
But hey, that’s what personal taste is all about
