As a new TD fan, I've always avoided a lot of TD tracks because of the slow build up with a lot of their songs thinking nothing will change, but I'm glad i stuck with this one.
Most of us will always prefer the original .. but for me it is a joy to hear alternative versions .. there is a lot to play with and still has great potential
Rubycon is one of my favorite TD albums, & this newer version is brilliant!! Thorsten Quaeschning is quite the musician!! Hoping they will decide to tour the US again sometime in the near future! That would be great!! Thanks for this nice video for this piece!!
Noticing this, I was afraid that this would be some sort of remix with entirely altered arrangements but happy to find out that this is rather faithful to original, especially the bass sequencing on 7:30 onwards all though it steps in instead of growing in as in original.
I think this is actually very well done. If memory serves me right, I have a recording from about 2010 when TD did a version of Rubycon pt1 live that was about 4 minutes long and totally ineffective. This version works, though.
Excelente versión. Rubycon.. Fue junto a "Aqua" el primer álbum de TG que conocí... hace 40 años atrás, después vendrían "Phaedra" y muchos más (casi todos). Para ser en vivo está muy bien, aunque la versión en estudio es mi favorita. El patrón rítmico en la línea de bajos está muy bien. Creo que cuando se toca en vivo la actitud y el resultado deben ser diferente al original, aprovechando la ocasión. Improvisar algo más quizás sin alterar ni la figura ni el sentido musical (una actitud más jazzistica) un trabajo delicado pero a la altura de estos magníficos creadores. Edgar Froese, Frankie y Bowman...creo que fueron la mejor "tripleta" que conformó TG, lastima que duró poco. Música para las neuronas!...Gracias prophet v por compartir....Saludos desde Santiago de Chile.
Я все думаю как бы создать что то похожее, моя мысль заключается в одной ноте которая будет звучать основой, можно на электрооргане на низах а вкрапления шум дождя завывания ветра потрескивания любых фонов шепот человеческой речи, только не слишком громко на фоне основной ноты, если хотите эксперементировать хотя бы кто нибудь попробуйте, я люблю слушать Вашу музыку❤❤❤❤❤.
An impressive and quite faithful new interpretation of the first half of one of TD's greatest albums, giving it a fresh lease of life. Would be great to hear this live (like the visuals too).
Always my favourite tangerine dream album since 1975. It seemed to go somewhere, moved on, speeding down the highway in a Kraftwerk sort of way, unlike much of their other stuff which strangely I've really never liked much, (bought zeit and was really dissappointed, disappointed phaedra and riccochet were ok ish) it's just never had the DRIVE of these two tracks. Late nights on headphones in the dark. Magic! Definitely in my top 20 albums even after all these 40 years. It's great to see so many people appreciate rubycon for the classic it was. The remastered cd does have a less muffled clarity to it.
Mi aspettavo molto di piu'. Rubycon e' l'album che preferisco dei T.D. L'originale e' molto piu' bella :o) Grazie comunque Prophet per aver caricato questa versione.
On my channel I am starting a project to collect all the Tangerine Dream albums on VINYL....or at least as many as I can as not all of them were ever issued on 12" record. It's an exciting project.....RUBYCON I already have but a LONG way to go
:-) I bought them on vinyl because that was the only way to get them. Didn't know how much there was, even back in '80. And you'll want the anthologies for their original pieces (Baryll Blue, for example, from the 4-disc '70-'80 [The Virgin Recordings]) Still, it sounds like an ambitious project. Some may never have seen vinyl. But get some of that rare stuff, like Ultima Thule; that'll be nice.
I respectfully disagree. Been listening to TD since 1975. This version too me is much better, more alive. I love the this melody opens up at 7:30!!!!!!
PROPHET V that's all you've got? I saw a National Geographic cover today that had a photo of the Aurora Borealis and it looked just like that. At first I thought it was computer generated but then I started to think it was time lapse and real. Looks fabulous. Anything about how it was done or where?
Can't be specific. It involves endless hours of internet trawling to match the music to the visuals. Mostly it works O.K. Occasionally it just looks WOW!😊
These photos are from iceland, mainly from the south and south-east part but also from the Snæfellsnes peninsula on the west coast. Beautiful combination of sound and vision.
I like this version. How can I put it....it sounds more structured, organised and sort of digital if that makes sense.....which it quite obviously is. The original was the first TD material I heard about 1977 when I was an impressionable teenager and I realised that day I had found real music.
I'd certainly validate this as a good live rendition in concert. Still, the cold digital sounds hardly do justice to the original analog depth and mystery of the original studio album. It feels a bit like computer generated movies compared to old fashion special effects. You can do things that were impossible before, but you also lose something along the way.
Boy - do I 100% agree with you! I too wished they'd leave the original masterpieces alone. This is just total karaoke crap!! And yes - less is more - here here!!! People miss out on the beauty of TD in that they don't see how much the guys did NOT touch anything. Not many followers ever pick this up. Kitaro - well - his early days before USA - is another example of how LESS is MORE. I totally agree with you.
I love new TD ......Phaedra remade was excellent .....but this - No! What it lacks is the organic structure and mystery of the original which sounded as if it was being created out of the sounds of the creation of the universe with it's melting sounds which fused toigether - unlike this which sounds like a sequence being played and a lead line etc overplayed separately . The beginning gong sounds ae a pale imitation of the original - the original sounded full of mystery ...this one sounds as if it was written and played using computer software - which it obviously is.
As a new TD fan, I've always avoided a lot of TD tracks because of the slow build up with a lot of their songs thinking nothing will change, but I'm glad i stuck with this one.
Let's be honest. The sequencer at 7.30 is what defines TD at their very best.
Rubycon is probably my favorite TD album, really love this reinterpretation
Tangerine Dream back to the roots of the 70's.... :-)
Most of us will always prefer the original .. but for me it is a joy to hear alternative versions .. there is a lot to play with and still has great potential
Rubicon 2016 is fantastic.
Nothing can take the place of the original, still this is an awesome cover.
Great version back to roots!
Rubycon is one of my favorite TD albums, & this newer version is brilliant!! Thorsten Quaeschning is quite the musician!! Hoping they will decide to tour the US again sometime in the near future! That would be great!! Thanks for this nice video for this piece!!
Rubycon came number 2 in our albums chart list, fantastic.
What's number 1?
God I love this.
Noticing this, I was afraid that this would be some sort of remix with entirely altered arrangements but happy to find out that this is rather faithful to original, especially the bass sequencing on 7:30 onwards all though it steps in instead of growing in as in original.
Takes a bit to get going but do like it when it gets to the rhythmic synth beats.
This is great!
I think this is actually very well done. If memory serves me right, I have a recording from about 2010 when TD did a version of Rubycon pt1 live that was about 4 minutes long and totally ineffective. This version works, though.
Visuals on this video are gorgeous.
James Hastings-Trew thank you😊

Together with the imaginative video stuff it blews my mind and soul...its great for a cover,love it...diffrent but gooood !!! ;)))
Wow - Rubicon is my favorite TD album ever. Nice to hear a new interpretation of this classic!
Stunning....the original is my fave TD album but this is quite sublime...
Agreed .. Yes !
yeah it has to be the best

You are joking......right?
Belle et somptueuse version, pleine d'une énergie redoutable, mais la première est tout de même plus mystérieuse...
I would like to hear them cover part two.

TD have remade a few of their old songs but this is easily the best one yet!
I hope you are wrong about that....a pale shadow of the original. Different synths..analogue vs digital.
bel arrangement
fantástico
Es estupendo!Me parece cabalgar cometas ,y poco importa du destino!
Nice version :-)
Richard W Thank You, Richard😀

From 7.30,i dedicate this music to all the superior civilizations across dimensions and universes.
Muito showwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
💘💘💘💘💘💘!!!!
good
7:30
Sintetizar, no era facil
I respectfully disagree. Been listening to TD since 1975. This version too me is much better, more alive. I love the this melody opens up at 7:30!!!!!!
Agreed the original is better but this version comes close
I thought it was a decent version. What's the story on the amazing visuals?
Visually, it's, let's say, complicated. The opening title sequence is simply a water droplet loop, tinted blue....that's the easy bit🤔
PROPHET V that's all you've got? I saw a National Geographic cover today that had a photo of the Aurora Borealis and it looked just like that.

Not as good as the original track, but very nice job anyway. Interresting modern version.
It's better
@@davidhowell5766 no it's not
maybe the second part, but definitely not the first
The genuine original is greater, much better, event though some remastering can be good as well for vintage material
I'd certainly validate this as a good live rendition in concert.
Still, the cold digital sounds hardly do justice to the original analog depth and mystery of the original studio album.
It feels a bit like computer generated movies compared to old fashion special effects. You can do things that were impossible before, but you also lose something along the way.
agree, regarding the first part
Pictures are gorgeous, don't care for the remake.
Murder...pure and simple. Less is more....
Boy - do I 100% agree with you! I too wished they'd leave the original masterpieces alone. This is just total karaoke crap!! And yes - less is more - here here!!!

+wtc175 Hmmmm .. tell me more about the Phaedra remake .. what key search words can I use to find it ?
I'm of the exact opposite opinion. I think this is wonderful, but Phaedra 2005 is completely awful.
@@santallum
Phaedra 2005. It's awful, though.
The original Rubycon was obviously an improvisation. Re re-creating that is kind of weird and unnecessary.
It's weird to me how TD and LOOM can manage to do the very worst cover versions of their own music.
It completely misses the atmosphere of the original and what should be contrasting sections are just steamrollered into monotony.
On the original it sounds as if the Mellotron choir was run through a phase shifter effect.
@@raymatthews3796 i LOVE the first part in the original, but the new version has more clout in the second part
put them 2gether as a hybrid - haha!
