Phaedra (TD) was my first exposure to electronic music. I'm now approaching 70 years old and I'm still listening to synth music from the early days of Tangerine Dream, Schulze and many others to now. State Azure is one of the new electronic artists who has captured me once again. The Berlin School and it's associated sounds and rhythms, remains the epitome of that genre we all love and continue to be entranced by. Regards Rob (UK)
I am 74 and still going strong on that stuff. I can play the records over my ESL57s or Magnepans so I am already in Paradise. I recently found four cassettetapes of Martin Kornberger.
If I would to have a Starship to travel across the stars and witness the wonders of the Universe this is the kind of music I'd be playing continuously.
A common misconception about the "Berlin school" sound it that it was all analog electronics. There were many kinds of instruments involved in the sound, including pianos, electric guitars, flutes, and of course the Mellotron, which added a very organic feel to the music. Edgar Froese played his electric guitar in almost all TD songs in the mid-70s. Manuel Gottsching of course created his own guitar-based sound. Klaus Schulze used to be a drummer, and his late 70s albums included drums played by his friend Harald Grosskopf. These are the obvious examples.
obviously not strictly a Berlin School band, but not without parallels; even Kraftwerk had many 'organic' instruments as well as electronics, maybe most notably Florian Schneider's flute.
An insane amount of my lifetime was/is to listen to music, so... the 70's electronik music is a huge part of it. Tangerine Dream/Klaus Schulze/Ashra Tempel - Manuel Goettsching and... many more, i just can't stop listening to this.
I was listening to this in the background at work, and my coworker and I both came to the conclusion that this music reminded us of Risk of Rain 2. Anyone else?
Too many people forget that modern science fiction as we know it was birthed near or in the 1970s. Alien, Star Wars, Star Trek, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, A Clockwork Orange, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, etc.
Sitting in the Balcony of a darkened theater as the opening credits to Risky Business came across the screen... Music by Tangerine Dream.. hmm interesting name but who's that somewhat brushing that question off but then the music starts to play and I'm hooked. I recognized the vocal music so immediately assume the electronic is Tangerine Dream. I even sit through the credits getting every bit of that music. The very next day I got to the shopping mall and look through every section in both Musicland and Great American Music and find a small section in Musicland that held mainly two artists: Tangerine Dream and Kitaro. Seeing the cover for Force Majeure I grabbed that and Tangram and I was intrigued by the cover of Silk Road II by Kitaro I made a note and bought the two Tangerine Dream vinyls. I went home and listened over and over to those two albums and thankfull I had a Sharp RP 117 turntable that allowed me to play both sides of the vinyl without flipping (still have it). This started my 40+ year passion for music and Tangerine Dream in particular. Such great music. It's been called New Age, Electronic, electronica, ambient and Belin School. I look for those genres just to find the good music I know exists within them that I will like. I've had a few disappointments over the years but overall those genres have been what I listen ot the most. This video brings that sound back from the late 70's early 80's. Thank you.
If you like "Love on a Real Train", you should check out Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians". TD asked for his permission to take samples from it, which he duly gave. Then he found they had not exactly sampled it, they had used it as a backing track.
This is wonderful! Fragments of Reality is a real Berlin School banger!! Also, the images are captivating, however it does prove that AI simply does not know what a keyboard looks like!!! :-)
Absolutely love this concept. Great Berlin School vibes (grew up w TD) and the visuals add a great feel (despite of all critical comments). You've found a niche, stick to it!
I post ordered Tubular bells and Robycon and Wish You Were here after been watching the documentary of The Roots of Rock, These records was not available in Finland at that time. ( Not bad for 12y old...who at 10 only listening to Gary Glitter and Rubettes)
I saw the thumbnails and titles and was curious - I've been listening and all I can say is bravo! Alexander, I tip my hat to you - sitting in my workspace having these sounds caress and cascade the air around my ears I am transported to a time and space that I have sorely missed. Bravo! 🤩💗
@@tristen_granthumans created the aesthetic of a.i. therefore you are a member of your own self described garbage race. Good luck with your arrogance.
@@mikescheer9819 I dislike AI created stuff, not human-made stuff. Yes, AI was made by humans but the things AI creates is generally made by scraping/stealing from online.
What's hilarious is, however gorgeous the AI visuals are, and they are as demonstrated here (though they are all rather uniform and repetitive in their aesthetic), and even how they've become increasingly detailed and nuanced, they not only have shown that they are often stumped by human anatomy details, such as groups of fingers on a hand and legs on running humans, they seem to be stumped by the widely established and ubiquitous musical keyboard.
The entire video long, as one image fades into the next, I have been on the edge of my seat to see how and in what way the AI incorrectly interprets the classic black and white layout of the common keyboard, and its relation to the human hand. Again, and as always…our species can be sure, that our opposable thumbs and other high functioning phalanges, are evolutionarily what sets us apart from all other entities….even the ones we have made with them.
Famous anti-technologist and theologian Jacques Ellul pointed out a future, where pressing buttons, turning dials, creating some change, more or less would define an entire society. In terms of works and play. Entire technique be it music or sound would equate to the same experience. Like Magic in the beginning and then nothing else eventually. That was the future, of a button pushing elite world, of wow sounds, now that has been replicated 1000 million times over.
Incredible, it almost sounds like a human made it! You had me fooled there for a sec. Though, in 'Retrotides' I do hear a bit of spectral data being lost in the main percussive bass sound, which is pretty typical of AI-generated music. The melodies are also kind of all over the place.
I'm six thousand years old, thank you for uploading this! 💓
Even at a thousand you would need a Cain to walk & time travel. How are you Abel to live that long?

I'm 55 and feel the same. As for myself, TD's absolute best work was in the 80's. State Azure is truly awesome. His TD's covers are excellent.
And now you can hear this beautiful electronic music at th-cam.com/video/w-5e639BRIU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eLm85ePHpX1YXCZv

The past was actually more futuristic than the actual future.
"This morning, yesterday or thirty years; it’s all just a million firing neurons given meaning by the human mind." Jones, 12 Monkeys SiFi spinoff
Contrary to what alt-right -stans born or not yet legal adults during those years want us to believe
now our picture of the future is too negative, the future doesn´t sound so cool now, so we go to the past to get a nice view of the future.
I don't know. Everyday life looks more and more like a cyberpunk novel every year
@scrrification yeah but no cool gadgets just the tyranny :(

Synthesizer waren sehr teuer und es wurde sehr viel mit klassischen Instrumenten experimentiert.
Although synthesizers are the first thing that comes to mind when you see music labeled "Berlin School". At least for me.
Looks like communist tech to me. Slow and infeasible. But the music is good.
Often felt that way, well explained, appreciate it~:)*
Pamietam jak w 1985 mój tata przywiózł płyty Klaus Schulz. Do dzisiaj pamiętam te kosmiczne dźwięki 😊

Шикарное мягкое звучание. Остров текучего звука в океане долбежки ударными:)
Ta muzyka ja takie odnosze wrażenie patrzy w przyszłość ale i zastanawia co było ,te twarze tych instrumentalistów sprawiają podobne wrażenie.
thanks for finding this soundtrack.
50 yrs old, thanks.
Znakomita klimatyczna muzyka. Uwielbiam. Proszę o więcej :)
Me gustó mucho la música y las imágenes.
También me gusta la palabra "Retrofuturismo".
Wonderful album, thanks for sharing.
великолепно

Un sonido sicodélico maravilloso y una atmósfera increíble la que crea esta música. ¡¡Aplausos para el creador !!. Saludos desde Chile.

Professionelle sphärische Musik. Erstaunlich was damals schon möglich war. Einfach excellent !!!
Das Album ist im September dieses Jahres erschienen...

Cold, distant, and lovely. Thank you for this.
Warm, close and disturbing
great for night driving

You have really captured that mid-70's TD feel that I love- amazing, thank you for sharing these great videos!
Отличная музыка.
Excellent ! Neo-Retro Berlin School style... ***** I really appreciate the 1st Chapter "Wavelength"
Very Schulze-esque!! great! i love it!.
This AI remember the 70s differently than I do....
😄
Excellent!!!
Love it, even brings out the vibe I used to get as a kid when Dr. Who would come on, I can "stay in this world" for hours at a time.
So thankful for the mix and the amazing images! Thanks!!! 3:04
It reminds me my young years, when I was listening to my Tangerine Dream vinyls, or Klaus Schulze..
Genial, saludos desde Argentina
Oj. So viele schöne bunte Knöpfe zu drücken ❤
"The Journey II" radio for GTA. Excellent.
amazing sound
That synth at 42:32 though ... Stable Diffusion designed a winner right there! :)
Right??? It even looks like it has all thepossible FM algorithms on that giant screen !!!
Masterpieces of aesthetics
Space 1999 Vibes!
Отлично!
Listening to this while I'm programming on Java.
I'm listening to this while drinking a cup of java.😊
or java is programming listening
oh, but it's the 70ies - you should be coding Fortran, Cobol, PL/1 or some assembly instead 😀
Amazing music, and equally amazing artwork. It's a 5 out of 5 from me!
This is music I didn’t know I needed. Thanks!
Makes me think of the late Tom Baker/early Peter Davison era of 'Dr Who'.
Very Kraftwerk.
Thank you for these charming sounds!

It's nice, but I think calling it "very creative indeed" is going overboard, as it's just AI-generated music.
