Customer Reviews of Beyond the Storm
Great Stuff from Froese I think this album is awesome. It does not matter what has been released before on not, the tracks sound fresh and original and the music gives me goose pimples. If you are a true TD fan, this is a must. Drunken Mozart still gives me chills
Almost A New Album
Of the 28 tracks here, 16 are previously unreleased, and the rest are extensively reworked with "new timbres." Consequently "Beyond The Storm" comes off less as a compilation than as a whole new album based upon old themes. If you're a fan of Froese or TD this is a nice slice of that pie.
However not all of Edgar's frequent excesses are reined in -- there are some interminable guitar solos, some questionable sequences, and at almost two and a half hours you're likely to tire of it well before it's over.
Plus, the liner notes -- a hagiographic "essay" by Mark Prendergast -- had me howling in the aisles. He correctly recounts the lack of chart success of Edgar's solo work, but his explanations range from plausible (out of favor in a punk market) to howlingly implausible (released at the same time as a Steve Miller Band album which took all the wind out of its sails). A much better survey of the Dream's journey, both highs AND lows, can be had inside the "Dream Sequence" compilation on Virgin.
Still, this set deserves at least 3 stars for its careful assembly, gorgeous graphics, and a healthy dollup of Edgar's best work. It's bargain priced as well.
Easy listening Froese
This 1995 2-CD compilation of tracks by Tangerine Dream supremo Edgar Froese acts as both a vast overall survey of 20 years of solo output and also as one last wrap-up solo album for Virgin.
Generally speaking, the music on these discs embraces a fair mish-mash of styles, covering as it does so many periods of Froese's life. Indeed, in many ways these discs seem intent on demonstrating how wide-ranging a composer Froese has been in his time, while at the same time pointing up just where he currently stands, musically.
I would say that for most listeners, the material on these two discs has been too much worked over and is much too over-worked to be of any real interest, though. However, there is undoubtedly sufficient here to make this release an essential purchase for the confirmed Froesian. Fans of softer New Age electronic music may also find much of this of interest. Others-especially those who prefer Tangerine Dream's early music, or indeed, heavier later music-may do better to shy away.
