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. 😬
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
@@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.
"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.
@@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... ;))
"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!

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!!
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.
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.
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! ❤️🇵🇱
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.
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 .
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!
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.
40 years back when I was doing my graduate studies; strange sensations; fantastic additional variations; moment of great foot; thank you for this trip in time
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
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!
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
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.)
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 have made such a great peace of sound, well balanced and no overdose between de sounds...I LIKE IT VERRY MUTCH and PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK!!! THX
Been with you for so long. I bought your Fragile album (still have it and many more). Close my eyes, or wide open,don’t need a drug, and I’m FLYING with you.
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,.
@@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'.
Went high school between 76 to 80. Now i played clarinet and bass clarinet in junior high. And mother was a outstanding piano player. So i have a love all music. Our high school had one of the first Moog Synthesizers and i loved playing on it. Kinda wish i had the money to get into this type Synthesizering. Its so wonderful
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!!!" 🙂
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.
IM THE BIGGEST TANGERINE DREAMer FAN AROUND ! YOU and your euro rack / daw FUKIN ROCK you"ll RECEIVE KNIGHTHOOD . BAFFO AMIGO ! Kidding aside , I'm lifted above the lp sound , feel and mood .... your work is very impressive and all wil hear it . all coments made here reflect my thoughts on this fine rendition. you have added something to Tangerine Dream "s efforts .... I do love this . I will be listening again and again ,through my highly amplified system ! Cheer to all from Taos
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.
Wonderful. I love the sound and the presentation - and how you manage to achieve the sound without any showmanship ... it's so peaceful. Glad to have found this on TH-cam.
Amazing. As a long time Tangerine Dream fan I can say this is pretty darn good. Amazes me to think what would take racks of modulars, reel to reel tape machines and a room full of equipment and three men to do in 1973 can be done in a small bedroom studio in 2019. Very good
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.
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.
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. 😬

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 missed this one. OUTSTANDING!!
Thanks!
@@stateazure really like your Fortress!!

Uno dei più bei brani della musica
Fra l' altro album bellissimo
Cover che non fa rimpiangere l'originale, anzi
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.
Very good indeed, I would have liked more of the piano part at the beginning but I am not complaining.
Stupendous! I feel like I did when I heard this the first time. Right now you're a genius!
