Cruise To Destiny (Topographic Dreamtime)

Recorded and compiled during rehearsal at Eastgate Studios, Vienna/January 2013. On March 26th, 2013 at 8 pm Tangerine Dream should have started with the first set of the great “Cruise To The Edge” concert together with Yes, Saga, Carl Palmer, Steve Hackett and many more. TD planned some extraordinary surprises including the invitation of a real female superstar to sing a kind of a ‘Titanic’ parody of the famous Mancini song “Moon River” (from the movie “Breakfast At Tiffany’s”). It could have been a very surreal and funny performance at moonlight in the middle of the Caribbean Sea....But destiny obviously had other plans….with regard to Edgar’s fall on icy ground with breaks and Linda’s unpredictable disease….which finally both led to the cancellation of the two planned concerts as explained in the Forum before. Fortunately mid of January the band did a rehearsal recording of almost 60 % of the concert with all members playing their original parts. So you will hear a big portion of the music planned to be performed on the cruise – like a sonic ghostly gig on a vessel that happens even if no one of the band was present…PS: Enjoy many tracks of the setlist as new re-recorded versions! The first 300 buyers who ordered this CD received a cool postcard designed by Edgar Froese containing his original autograph.
