My cover/reinterpretation of Tangerine Dream's 'Ricochet', mostly a cover of part 2 with some improvised and live performed parts. Created with a combination of software and hardware. This was a tough one to figure out, due to the complexity of the sequences and the live played feel to it, which I tried to capture with my own live performance and improvisation. Hope you enjoy it, feedback is welcome!

"State Azure" Your channel is the only one I have found that (in my opinion) actually cares to create a certain "magical essence/fabric" within the sound that is "Tangerine Dream!". I am in "Awe" of you Sir or Lady, and I sincerely Thank You for sharing all your mesmerizing musical compilations for all of us to get lost in and explore great adventures within our minds! I sometimes wonder if your kind truly knows how impactful your work of arts are.... because they evoke an energy/vibe of long lost memories and even possible future memories which reverberate our entire being!. I know I speak for many people who have the same thought's as mine and how I express them. Again Thank You for sharing your small piece of starlight with us.
Thanks so much!
This is an amazing cover. I think that some people are missing the small fact that by covering this they are keeping the original sound and feel of TD alive. Considering the path the band has taken in recent years I welcome the covers that State Azure has done, and hope that they continue to be inspired by the early works of TD and create new original works in the same spirit. In no way will these covers replace the originals, but like a newborn artist learning to play Mozart before going on to make their own contribution to the world, we must celebrate this effort to introduce TD to a new generation who can by hooked by State Azure, and then go back to the originals, and then load their musical library in both directions to make a fulfilled collection of awesome ear candy.
To the haters : Edgar Froese is dead. We need to pass on his legacy along with the respect to the remaining original members and those who have lit their torches from the fire of the people who have brought us such amazing music since 1967. We need this music , and music like it, in the future. We owe it to those who will come later looking for this sound the way we did : with discovery and awe.
Well said, thank you! I definitely plan to do more TD covers in the future.
I couldn't agree with you more. A really balanced view point. State Azure has done a beautiful cover TD for us older ones to enjoy again (I was born in 1950) and absolutely love Psy-Trance music. State Azure and Dreamstate Logic are right at the top of my choices.
LOVE THE WAY THE LIGHTS UP ON THE KEYBOARDS SHINE AND ALL GOS WELL WITH THE SOUND :)
Beautiful, sublime. Edgar would be so proud that you’ve done his music justice.
absolutely fantastic! for me, your covers are really better than originals.
Thank you sir for your wonderful music
Thanks!
Impressive!
From Saudi Arabia , your good and I really like it.
Never heared such a brilliant cover of Ricochet before! White Eagle as well as Love on a Real Train are also awesome. Please more of TD covers, e.g. Yellowstone Park!
Thanks so much Christian, means a lot :) Yellowstone Park? Oh geez. That's always been one of my favourites of TD, it is just gorgeous and perfectly timeless in my opinion. I've never even thought about attempting a cover of it for that reason, and the fact that it uses quite a few beautiful samples that I probably wont be able to match. I'll keep it in mind though, as I really love that track :)
bravo !!!
The Flutes ?! Where are those haunting melancholy Flutes in the intro ?
Is that the Akai MPk 88? I got one myself
Just a 61. I've since replaced it with a NI S61.
@@stateazure definitely 88 was an overkill. Wish I never got fully weighted keys too....
I wore out my 1975 vinyl eventually. When I got married in 1977 my new wife and I sat up all night listening to this on my Transcriptors Reference turntable. Both she and Edgar are together now on the great cosmic journey. Thank you so much for this wonderful rendition of the most beautiful piece of music ever composed.
Loved this in the 80's when I discovered it, the 90's during tough times, 00's as I was settling into life, 10's as I was hitting a peak and now in the 20's as I face a slow inevitable decline...thank you
Thanks for listening!
Life’s odd like that, isn’t it? Yours rather mirrors mine, and TD has likewise kept me company. I’m doing my best to avoid that last bit! Good luck with your journey.
love Tangerine Dream and your covers. this music has kept me motivated through two periods of unemployed/working at shitty job periods of on and off endless job searching.
Some people say things will never change, but don't you believe them ..
I discovered TD in 1979 when I was 13 years old -- and I just loved it. Now I discovered your version -- and I love it even moooore..!!! 🤩
I had been aware of TD for some time and purchased my first album in 1983 when I was 17. I would lay in bed at night and listen to it: Logo LIve.
@@KonichiWawa Well, then we are the same age, though it seems that I was less innocent than you!! Because back then, while listen to it, I smoked happily my joints... ;))
The so beautiful vinyl sleeves and the beautiful green gradient sticker on the records were the start of the trip.
"Ninooo" And I discovered TD in 88 when I was the age of 9!!! Picture a child sitting in the passenger side of a vintage "1984 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo" with no hard top cover accelerated at the speed of (95mp-h) at 1:30am on a pitch black highway road with no cars in sight for miles! Now here comes the irony moment the TD track was "LIVEMILES" which was recorded at night live in Albuquerque Mexico and I was just mesmerized/hypnotized in the most deepest parts of my consciousness traveling to unknown places/worlds I swear to the fkn Universe I never experienced anything else like that in my entire being!. So I feel your statement!
@@skairdstr8 I see, even nine year old kids have this ability to transcend consciousness and to experience an unforgettable impression about their own inner cosmic space! So no doubt, we are trappet in this daily matrix. Let's conquer back our inner treasure of freedom! Thank you for your report. All the best to you, wherever you are!!
Ricochet is an absolute masterpiece and you really did it justice, got mad chills from this.
Richocet1 is possibly the most amazing sequencing I ever heard: emulating it is a zenith of achievement.
What about 2?
He actually improved the original. I only like to listen to the originals and even one note deviation annoys me to no end usually. SA made all of TD songs better. Very impressive.
Very brave of you to attempt this - Chris Franke's tour de force of analogue sequencing - but you pulled it off! Fabulous! Ricochet and Rubicon are two of my all time favourite albums. Great job!
Thanks, Andrew really appreciate you taking a listen :)
or peter's
Excellent cover whit great sound 👍 Edgar Froese applauds from the sky 💫
Thank you!
I’ve been a fan of Tangerine Dream since the early 70’s and this brings back memories of driving my wife crazy because I would play them over and over again. 😬
Incredible cover!
Absolute quality Pat,your ear for detail and replication is ridiculous mate....fantastic job...PS cheers for letting me loose on the mastering :)
Thanks mate!
Great to hear covers of tangerine dream I grew up listening to this type of music and always enjoyed electronic music since Isao Tomita kraftwerk are my favourites after tangerine dream
Looking forward to your next cover
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks a lot for the feedback!
add kitaro to the list
I think that majority of listeners do really appreciate it, minorities should be ignored 😉
I not like Blanca, but band is working, so what i want to say, where is LKaama or Beuborg ?
Did you know that this part was used in background of weather forecast in Polish TV in late 70's? This music started my journey in the electronic music, especially TD.
I LOVE IT! ❤️🇵🇱
I didn't know that! Thanks :)
Don’t understand the people who ‘unliked’ this. All your tunes are gems. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Alex!
Kreuhn Kohrman , good comment I consider that covers are refreshing and remind one of the joy when I heard the original initially
It's perfectly understandable. Many people are tone-deaf joyless imbeciles.
@@polreamonn Hahahaha. It's so true. And it becomes more apparent, every day, just how many people there are like that. I have pieces of music that are sacred to me, and I cringe to think about people covering them, but I applaud when they have the balls to commit sacrilege. This sound amazing. Better than me daring to cover Lead A Normal Life by Gabriel or gosd help me, Marquee Moon by Television. I learned the whole album and recorded it on 4-track. I used up and recorded over the master before someone else could find it. So as long as State Azure doesn't try to cover Rubycon, we'll be cool. Man this is good.
I can never unlike this stuff. It gives me Eargasms.
wow what a brilliant cover of one of the most brilliant musicpeaces of all times
I have to leave a comment here as well .... first Richochet is one of my favorite early TD albums and State Azure nailed it again... Really appreciate your hard work ... Thank you
This track has the capability to awaken a dead soul from the grave
This is really excellent. It has a slight flavour of the 21st Century which makes it very appealing.
Thank you!
Attention, sentient machines... the Prime Directive.... *Mother Music must be given the honor and respect that is Her due* .
So let it be programmed. So let it be compiled and run.
Edgar will be smiling at this masterpiece...what a talent....such complex sequences....amazing back in the day that Edgar, Christoph and Peter gave us these incredible sounds...way before DAW.......wish it was mid 1970s
... ricochet , ricochet , ricochet !!!
thanks & livius 17
Your cover is very good. Great sound and essence of the original is excellently captured. Keep on going!
Love Tangerine Dream, but I wouldn't even know where to begin to recreate one of their songs..........
you have a God-given talent, my friend.
Not to mention the video creation skills too
Man you guys in the 70's & 80's must have felt like you were living in an action thriller if you guys were listening to stuff like this ahaha, I don't see you guys "rocking out" to this, honestly I picture some geared up soldiers getting ready to attack an alien hive or some shit lmao
Ah, how comments age like milk
I used to go running with this music. Good for zoning out and putting in the miles.
Bach on LSD at least ❤
The only thing missing is the crowd. You absolutely captured the feel. Brilliant
Awesome, thank you!
@@stateazure yeah Brilliant!!!
Agree!!
That is the second half of Ricochet. The beginning sounds like from Schubert, the following a bit like from J. S. Bach. Tangerine Dream are the masters of electronic music. No-one else comes close in the specific aesthetics, the range of sounds and the worldly imagination.
A TD classic given a fresh, modern feel yet still faithful to the original - fantastic job - keep up the great work!
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
What hardware sequencer are you using ? Amazing video
It's a mix of hardware and software sequencing if I remember. Polyend Seq was the hardware sequencer, maybe Nerdseq too, I'm not sure
Please cover Phaedra. You are a genius This has kept the soul of the original piece whilst even injecting new life into it. Thank you. Have listened over and over here in the mountains of Northern Portugal.
That's how I think it works. Against me unconditionally illuminated and how God sees me throughout eternity, and judged as unjust to be, ricochets back upon towards the world, also overall good factor for humanity involved. The why.
This was the first album I brought when I had hair, and still love this band.
The hair is gone, but the love remains ...
I still have my hair.
BONITA FOTO DE CABLES......
The way you are able to figure out all those complex TD sequences and sounds is ... Amazing ! Sounds so much better than cassette tapes from back in the day ...I really enjoy watching ! Thanks for sharing .
Thank you! It's hard work and a slow process figuring out those sequences!
State Azure I appreciate your response and all I can ask is .... to keep up the hard work !
This is near to the classic TD version, I realise Ricochet is difficult to emulate, but you've done an amazing alternative. The original TD version is renowned for its sequencing complexity, but you've done an amazing job of capturing that complexity, many thanks,.
Thank you, Rob. I spent a lot of time trying to get the sequencing correct!
@@stateazure You are welcome, your a great keyboardist and have a superb understanding of the Berlin school (E. Froese) sound. Can't stop listening to your rendition of 'Love On A Real Train'.
An extraoridnary cover, helping me to forget this days of quarantine in this strange times we are living now. Thanks for your music.
Uno dei più bei brani della musica
Fra l' altro album bellissimo
Cover che non fa rimpiangere l'originale, anzi
wow, wow, and wow again! thank you for this...TD fan since I was a kid :)
Another fabulous cover I keep re-watching in amazement. Amazed because this is one very complicated poly-sequential track; very impressive work.. I believe this is probably the best TD cover I have heard. (Several of your others are superb too.)
Thanks, Andrew!
Second only to Love on a real train as my favourite TD track. Very meditational. Best listened to late at night with only lit candle and a glass of wine. Another great cover.
Ha! Interesting, I usta meditate to Tangerine Dream years ago, very nice.
Plugged in my Koss head set for this one, yes you were brave to attempt this TD/Chris Franke piece of sequencing master work, I think you made an excellent job of it though, it captures the essence of the TD classic, once again, many thanks.
Super gut gemacht. Greetings from Germany
Wooow...im impressed ! And im not easy to satisfy...but this...is amazing !!! :-->)
I really appreciate it, thank you!
amazing work i hope to see more from you
I've loved the Tangs since Alpha Centauri and Atem and always thought they could never be covered. I'm so glad you proved me wrong, this was exquisite work, sorry it's taken me so long to find it and give you the praise that you deserve. Bravo.
Many thanks :)
Sounds a lot like a newer/'quantum' version, minus the lead wanking :)
Very 'in tune' everywhere, a nicely disciplined and glued together mixdown, although 1st transition from intro to 1st sequence is rushed and the thunderous bass of the original is missing.
_I made a bit longer redux of this myself about 10-12 yrs ago using a 777, little phatty, memotron, karma piano (yikes!) and carvin guitar. I've also covered a few from Exit, Encore and Force Majeure._
and since you're already halfway there, sound-wise...
Mellotron and tape echo is the next step to getting closer to their mid-'70s sound - 'tron is used somewhat less on RIcochet, but it's on everything from '74 to '79. To really get there add Synthi and a 2600 with the Moog copy filter. The bassline has to be able to BOOM and drift out of tune some, or it's too stiff, small and stable to fill out and glue the low end together. It's crucial for this era, as whatever drums (once Franke chained himself to the Moog, post-Atem) or other bass elements they'd brought to bear were rather dainty - the 'big Moog' dominated a huge % of the mix energy and all of the bass end.
Cheers!
Never heared such a brilliant cover of Ricochet before! White Eagle as well as Love on a Real Train are also awesome. Please more of TD covers, e.g. Yellowstone Park!
Thank you, Frans! You're the second person to ask about Yellowstone Park! I love that track myself, but I think it'll be hard to really do that one justice. There's a lot of samples in that track along with vocals that really make it unique and difficult to cover well, but I'll keep it in mind :) Thanks for the comment! More TD covers are in the works.
@@stateazure No problem, any work of you shall be brilliant! ;-)
Seen a comment saying no one should ever try to cover this absolute masterpiece from TD. Well, they are wrong. This cover captures the essence of the original. I agree, no one will ever produce a carbon copy of the original. Ricochet was conceived, written and recorded once, using the tech of the day, using unique sounds. It happened once. This cover is the only one that captures the essence, the sequences as near as possible by a new master. Brilliantly.
Very good this version of Ricochet2 !!! Congratulations!
For me, one of the best in Tangerine Dream. Greetings.
Molt bona aquesta versió de Ricochet2!!! Felicitats!
Per a mi, una de les millors de Tangerine Dream. Salutacions.
It's like... Going back in time w/Stranger things Feeling to it *Something needs to be done*
Sublime. Your Tangerine Dream covers are pure gold. If you haven't covered anything from Hyperborea or Exit yet ....... I'll cast my vote here for anything from either. Many thanks for all these wonderful videos.
Thanks for listening :)
Exit is my favorite.
I would love to see Tangram. Still one of my favourites. Also Mojave, Logos. Even the old experimental Krautrock era ones: Zeit, Atem!
always amazes me how these synth players with all those dials buttons and controls remember what all the functions are. they must have quite simply amazing brains to do what they do.
Tan' Dream has created many gems...saw them 35 years ago and still think about it ! WHAT A SHOW !
This is fantastic. Congrats. Would you mind sharing any details of your equipment? I am looking for a slider.
Nice gear and fabulous cover of a true Tangerine Dream classic. Ricochet is one of my favorites. I'm personally working on a Rubycon cover. Most of my synths are software VST and a Casio CT-X keyboard.
Wooohooo!!! What a ride!
The first time I heard Tangerine Dream was precisely the Ricochet album in 1976, at the time there were other groups in the current known as German rock. Without a doubt, Ricochet for me was the maximum exponent, despite having been
Ricochet viaje de enigmas de 40dias en el decierto atravezarlo en el gusano del tiempo estar en el ricochet
Today I was working with my computer, writting some documents while listenning to this music, played in a TH-cam Mix containing some of my favourite musicians' music, with the TH-cam screen minimized (so I couldn't see the video, and was just listenning to the music). While this music was playing I said to myself "Tangerine Dream are really wonderfull!!!". At about 06:00, I decided to make a pause in my document work to maximize the TH-cam screen and see the images of the video. I then realised that it was you playing the music, and said to myself "Yeah, State Azure is really wonderful!!!" 🙂
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed this one 🙂
Very good indeed, I would have liked more of the piano part at the beginning but I am not complaining.
1975 all over again.
WOW! I just fell in love with your Love On A Real Train cover which I've recently found, and now there's this 2.5 years later! Thank you and happy New Year :)
Thank you, sorry it took so long :) Happy New Year!
I do have respect for the way you handle those Original compositions by Tangerine dream one of my favorite Electronic music Bands , i try to create some tracks as well with in mind their quality of electronic composing.
You did a good job in "distilling" the essence of Ricochet (Part 2, as it sounds) into a more concentrated cover! Maybe you could bring more of your own interpretation if future TD covers, could be interesting.
Woah, seriously dude ...this is amazing 🍄
Beautiful
Thanks Rachael!
Je préfère la version original de Chris Franky , Edgar Froese et de Peter Baumann , cette musique irait bien pour ces minables qui nous gouvernent dans l’ombre pour signifier le fin de vies bientôt
Excellent ✨
It is a great work of yours!
Everyone would have to acknowledge your achievement, they are interpretations of masterpieces - just like in classical music: The old masters are gone, their music lives on - and that's a good thing: in diverse interpretations.
This is how the current TANGERINE DREAM can be seen - creative musicians continue to pursue the ambitious goal: music, spherically floating, without limits.
Anyone who criticizes this has the right to do so, but limits himself!
I also enjoy all the TD (live) interpretations of the old classics ...
But what TQ & his team are now doing has what it takes to achieve further peaks ...
HANSEATIC HARBOUR LIGHTS is (for me) another TD masterpiece
I have the original on vinyl, brilliant number.
Excellent !
o and if they ever need an extra member they should call you instantly right now i mean....:)
Wow!! You have done it again!!! Really enjoyed it!!! Well done 👍
Thank you PM!
I first got exposed to electronic music nearly 40 years ago. I was just starting high school, and Jean Michelle Jarre's Concerts in China and a couple of Tangerine Dream albums were my first introductions. Nearly 40 years later, though there is a lot of great stuff out there, there's still nothing quite like it.
I have listened to the State Azure cover of "Love on a Real Train," more than the TD original. By far. The original is amazing and DECADES later, based SOLELYits individual greatness, I still seek it out and it is how I found the covers, but I now prefer to hear the SA cover. I would love to hear Kraftwerk's TEE as well as others from you. Big Fan! Great work!
It's awesome! Listening to this new arrangement creation is so good! Congratulations
Glad you enjoy it!
This is e-Ricochet, an extended suite from Azure. An endless Time Machine .
Still can't find a better song than love on a real train.anything similar out there?
That intro. Never gets tired. Lovely to hear a different version. Cheers
I must have listened to Ricochet fifty times when I was a teenager in the 80s. This is just as good.
O A RIGO TOVAR.
The sequenced parts are spot-on, just the melotron flute part of the intro is missing. I heard the original track when I was 21 and to some extent it defined the music I like ever since. So much so I played the intro section of Ricochet Pt.2 at my mother's funeral.
Thank you! The sequenced parts took some work to figure out! I had worked out most of the flute part too, but I wanted to change it and ended up playing some kind of improvised flute part for the outro. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@stateazure To clarify it was actually the original version I played at the funeral, which was 4 years ago. Anyway, I'm glad to see someone still likes T.D. All too many people today, including the mainstream media, think electronic music is "just pressing a few buttons". Unless you're strumming a guitar it "ain't real music".
@@robertbrown3413 Well it's a lovely piece that intro, and I imagine your mother would have appreciated it. At my own mother's funeral, I chose one of Jon Hopkins' piano solos as I was massively influenced by his music at the time. TD's music will always be quite special to me, their tracks inspired me to learn synths when I was a kid and really got me into electronic/ambient music.
@@stateazure From what I can find there is one other cover of this on TH-cam, which fails to get the sequenced part right that you did get right. I wouild also have done the string sound as you did, with a dense modern electronic string patch rather than the rather weedy one of the original record.
Je préfère la version originale de Peter Baumann et Chris Franky et Edgar Froese
Another winner, beautiful. A complex one for sure. Consider doing covers for some the Wavelength soundtrack!
You seriously make the BEST Tangerine Dream covers on TH-cam; and YT is HUGE. Massive congratulations mate! Plus, you show and share your work & creation as you go through your process! RARE!
Froese and Schulze were definitely Game Changer
Simply sumptuous.A pleasant discovery on the tube while for 2 days I have been trying to reconstruct unworthily my version of this masterpiece.You fully took the sounds and sensations of the 70s.Hi from Italy
