So Phaedra started the story ..............This being the first release in the UK but not Tangerine Dream's first album I believe if you count full album this was number four.
Being one the early pioneers of synthesiser based music of considerable length................the style in the early days was still taking shape ...........At the moment , when dealing with
the earlier albums the format tends to favour long and impressionist music which is easy to listen to ad is part of the birth of trance. The technology is still developing and it is
noticeable that the recording medium does intrude into the overall sound.....................I guess that with this kind of music it is in itself also an instrument that can be manipulated too .
Rubycon consists of two extended pieces and it could be argued that the music seems to be the kind of ting one might use for a very futuristic film or the background music some kind
of avant guard art show...................
In all I find this interesting and stimulating music which as I journey through the TD catalogue fascinates me and makes me want to explore further.........

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
