Album Reviews: Q (12/02, p.133-4) - 4 out of 5 - "...1971's ALPHA CENTAURI is classic krautrock..."
Advantages: Unreleased tracks Disadvantages: Price, some 're-mixing'
...As you may have already guessed, this is a ‘best of’ album. As TangerineDream have been around for the past 40 years, you don’t need to be a fan to know there are lots of these compilation albums around – some good, some so bad you feel embarrassed to look at the cover let alone play it. ‘Tangents’ is certainly one of the best.
The tracks are from a wide range of studio and sound track albums; some classic ones like Ricochet, White Eagle and Exit, to some quite rare and difficult to find tracks (Wavelength and Flashpoint). Disk 5 contains a lot of previously unreleased tracks, which makes a very useful added bonus, and makes the price worthwhile.
Many of the tracks are just excerpts of long single track albums like Ricochet, but some are re-mixed, or "tangenized", as some fans call it. Some of them are quite different to the original...

Advantages: wonderful music Disadvantages: she isnt here with us and should be
...summer and became the first Tejano album to reach number 1 in America and was double platinum by the end of the year.
What Selena accomplished by 23 others would spend a lifetime trying to achieve. For that one cannot help but feel respect and admiration for this Corpus Christi role model that inspired and represented the hopes and dreams of millions of followers. And so Selena's legacy lives on, in our cherished memoriesand in everyone that has been touched by her music.

...Led Zeppelin 3
This album was conceived in a cottage called Bron 'Y' Aur in southern Snowdonia. The delicate 'That's The Way' and 'Tangerine' inspired brilliant performances from Plant. Gallows Pole is a semi-acoustic traditional tale beefed up by Bonham's drumming. 'Celebration Day' and 'Out On The Tiles' excelled in familiar vein. 'Immigrant Song' showed Zep's ability to channel their energy into a three minute masterpiece. Best of all was the much revered self styled blues workout 'Since I've Been Loving You' which captured the dynamics of a band on the crest of a wave....
