Akinomaki 29,450 Posted February 2 TEE as maybe my favorite Kraftwerk piece made me check my digitized tape recordings folders to look for my favorite electronic music, unfortunately I have not recorded the titles and have to try to find them with music recognitions apps - I have to look for those later. Since pieces without words seem to qualify for the thread, here a few I know the titles of. Tangerine Dream, Le Parc 7, Hyde Park https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ_3Kq0gTVA Grobschnitt, album Illegal: Silent Movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2XZ_bKXg08 I have yet to decide if Equinoxe III is more or equal my Jean Michel Jarre favorite than Oxygene IV My new favorite piece of Kraftwerk is now that which Coldplay used to make Talk - and the Coldplay variation I like more than the original Computer love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlYm8TIj9sU 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yamanashi 1,994 Posted February 2 As I recall, Tangerine Dream was better known in the US during their heyday, though Kraftwerk will always be known*, for better or worse, from Michael Myers' "Sprockets". * "Autobahn" was popular Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sumojoann 773 Posted February 2 I recall vividly when the movie "Thief" came out in 1981 and Tangerine Dream made a huge splash doing the soundtrack album. I remember that the song played during the end credits was a different version on the soundtrack album than what was in the movie. It was so annoying because what was in the movie was much more dramatic. I found the better version on Youtube: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I swear to living high holy that I have never heard that name. After reading the Wikipedia article I realize that I have heard the track "Oh, yeah": it is associated with hundreds and hundreds of films, TV shows and videos, most of them involving appealing shots of women's backsides. I don't believe I have ever seen the name "Yello" associated with it. Having said that, I will investigate further ( even the non-backside component of their oeuvre).

Kintamayama 36,239 Posted February 3 Favorite songs is difficult. I've been listening to music for about a year and a half now, and as such, can't seem to relate to what is happening in the last 20 years.. Metal is cool, but too technical for me-the howling, the Yingwie-esque speed-too much for me. All very impressive and makes me jealous of the abilities, but flies over my head-whoosh! Classic and Jazz are fine once in a while, but my attention span is of a three year old in a toy store. To me, a favorite song is one that makes you cry. "In My Life" makes me cry, though I've played it thousands of times. "Tempted" (Squeeze) drives me up a wall every time I hear it. "Kid Charlemagne" (Steely Dan) kills me when the guitar solo enters. "Sukiyaki" (Ue wo muite-Sakamoto Kyu) does it very time I hear it, as it is the soundtrack of my childhood. In short-i need a melody-screams and technique intrigue me but don't touch me. Oh yeah, then there is "Baby I'm Gonna Leave You". And in 1991, we supported Deep Purple in Tel Aviv (45000 people), so that was fun.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
