Tangerine Dream
Tyger
Review by Gary Hill
This disc from Tangerine Dream is quite an intriguing one. It's definitely different from a lot of the catalog. For starters, it's based on the works of William Blake. Perhaps more interestingly, several of the songs have vocals. The lyrics are all taken directly from Blake's poems, and the vocals are handled by Jocelyn Bernadette Smith, who speaks some of them and sings some. I find this to be quite an enjoyable disc, and a great addition to the Tangerine Dream catalog.
Note that I've done this review as an individual retro review here, but it's actually part of a brand new box set that I've also reviewed for this issue. This review is included in that one.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) in Music Street Journal: 2019 Volume 2. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2019.
