Advantages: One of the best 'electronic' albums ever Disadvantages: It is somewhat short
After the success of their 1974 release "Phaedra", TangerineDream released their last organic sounding masterpiece "Rubycon", before becoming a more conventional sounding electronic band. To try and describe the purely instrumental music on this album is difficult. Most people regard electronic music as pings, beeps and other more farty sounds, but here the early synthesisers and manipulated sounds create a wash of noise somewhat like the aural equivalent of a watercolour.
The first piece (Rubycon Part One) sounds like a life-cycle of some alien sound creature. The beginning with its gong like sounds conjuring up something stirring in a dark damp cave before bursting into life in the sunshine with eerie bird-like calling. A pulsing sequencer sound builds up to carry our creature onwards through layers of sounds forming, swirling ...

Advantages: Good solid Tangerine Dream music Disadvantages: Quite quite their best
over here. If you're in Europe right now you would see that all people talk about the Third World War. As musicians we can use our music to say something about the positive side and hope our message gets through."
Edgar Froese had organised thousands of copies of Exit to be shipped and distributed free to various people in Russia. A short time before Exit was released; TangerineDream had played a special disarmament concert at the Reichstag building in West Berlin in front of around 100,000 people.
* The tracks *
As mentioned before, the first is a beautiful track called ?Kiew Mission?. A female sensually recites the message of world peace and nuclear disarmament. Very convincing, although the lyrics are in Russian, the mentioning the continents give a good effect. It?s essentially a simplistic, yet universally understandable ...
A trio of exceptional tracks and the rest are generally of high quality. Typically high Underworld production standards, even down to the inlay card. Great value at current prices.
A few duller moments and it's starting to age a bit. (*)
