I'm not an expert on TD, but I know what I like. Other reviews have complained that this is a live album with overdubs added, as if this is something to complain about. Personally, I'm more concerned with the overall sound and feel of the album. And may I say IMHO, I love this album! Let's face it. Many of their studio albums had overdubs and double tracking etc., and that is not necessarily a bad thing. Those practices became very common in the '70s. So, these guys took a live performance ...

Rating: - First live album and a great one
Ricochet, released at the end of 1975 was Tangerine Dream's first ever live album and it's not like other live albums you might own where a group concentrates on the hits and fan favorites and maybe throw in a surprise or two. This was brand new material. Fresh on the heels of Rubycon (one of the highlights of electronic music, as far as I'm concerned), the band delivers yet another album certain not to disappoint. The music still concentrates on sequencers, relying heavily on rhythm, and it proves ... Read More

Rating: - Classic Dream
This is an excellent "live" (some parts were overdubbed in the studio) album by Tangerine Dream. Chris' sequencers are just simply awesome. Edgar's guitar work is good, but a bit repetitive.

Overall, this album is a perfect sample of the classic Froese, Franke, Baumann lineup. Both tracks take you on an atmospheric and ambient journey into the universe of sound and the opening piano part of track 2 is a memorable tune that was often a staple of piano solos performed in the '80s during TD ...

Rating: - Gothic and gloomy electronica - great stuff!
This live album was released hot on the heels of their 1975 masterpiece Rubycon and has a similarly gothic and gloomy atmosphere. In contrast with other live albums however, this sounds just like it was recorded in the studio - the sound quality is excellent and the audience can not be heard at all (apart from the beginning and end of the piece). Ricochet was cobbled together from live performances recorded during the autumn of 1975 in both France and Britain. If the recording was taken from a number ... Read More

Rating: - This is a great recording
This 1975 recording captures Tangerine Dream at what I think is the pinnacle year of their peak period (1974-1976), and features the classic lineup: Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann. They were on top of their game at this point. Part 1 was recorded in France during the autumn of 1975 (most likely in September) and has more of a rhythm/groove to it than Part 2, thanks in large part to Froese's guitar playing. Part 2 was recorded on 75-Oct-23 at Fairfield Hall in Croydon, England. It starts off ... Read More
