This song is pretty amazing. Really intense and freaky. I've only started getting into Tangerine Dream recently, but to me if you compare Tangerine Dream to Kraftwerk I think Tangerine Dream comes out on top as far as timelessness of their music. By that I just mean that old Tangerine Dream albums seem less "dated" then old Kraftwerk albums. Listening to Phaedra I find it hard to believe it was released in the early 70's because it sounds like something that could come out today. With Kraftwerk the limits of the technology they were working with seem to come out more in the music. That being said both groups seem to have been going down different roads with their music. Tangerine Dream were more abstract electronic music, while Kraftwerk were almost pop. Both groups were pretty amazing for what they were trying to do.

indeed, this album is good. reminds me a bit of Mike Oldfield. phaedra was, apparently, their first really popular album.

i too picked up Phaedra last friday and i gotta say i'm really impressed w/ "Mysterious Semblance at the Stand of Nightmares". i'm just getting into them too, and find them personally more interesting than Kraftwerk (nothing against the masters) as i always was something of a soundtrack guy.

If you have a feeling you won't hate the newer stuff, I recommend "Mars Polaris" from their newer output. I must say, though, that I think they've gone in a dissappointing direction since the 70s.

i fucked a tweaker bitch named phaedra a couple of times a few years back around halloween time.
she had a lazy eye and fake tits.
oh and she had her uterus removed. i think it was either because of cancer or for money on the black market for more ice.
tangerine dream are nice. i like them a lot.

there is a section from one of the songs on Rubycon that I swear is right out of Echoes by Pink Floyd... and considering Meddle came out before Rubycon, it's kind of disspointing if it was ripped off... but it's still a nice album...

I bought the CD last year!!!!
Only listened once though, and can't remember how it sounds. I guess it's good though. I'll give it another listen in several months I guess.
