Acting
Tangerine Dream - The London Eye Concert - Live at the Forum London
The London Eye Concert‘ was recorded during Tangerine Dream‘s live concert at the Forum at London-Kentishtown on 1st November 2008. London‘s and TD‘s soundscapes are so unique like a score to a movie. The British influence in TD‘s music within their 40 years‘ development most people may have recognised. For those who couldn‘t join the concert or like to relive it again: Here‘s the full cut of their beat show on Blue Ray at the Forum in Kentishtown. A kaleidoscope beginning with the new title ”Trauma“ (Autumn In Hiroshima) and ending with the breathtaking live interpretation of the TD classic ”Cloudburst Flight“. Enjoy a great concert on Blu Ray - nearly 3 hours with a very fresh mastering.
Tangerine Dream - One Night in Space - Live at the Alte Oper Frankfurt
From Linda Spa's music box playing at the beginning of the concert on October 7th 2007 up to the last chord you will hear and see everything happens during and behind the gig at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt. Interesting back projections, lasers and generic lights will be an entertaining addition whether you've seen the show live or watch it for the first time via your home cinema. Good old "hits" by TD will be alternated and supported by some brand-new stuff composed for the gig. Images from backstage and 'making of' sequences can be seen as a summary of a great "night at space" including the safe and comfortable landing.
