Tangerine Dream ‎– Rubycon (1975)

November 20, 2020

I don’t know if I’m reading more into that I should be, but my 3 month old son seems to love Tangerine Dream. He just sits there in his rocker, a pensive look on his face as the layers of meandering synthesizers unfold endlessly. It’s an expression of deep thought and subtle awe, and it isnt too far from my own as I travel through the 70s era of Tangerine Dream recordings.

Rubycon is quite relaxed; it has more of a chilled, wandering vibe than say, the acid trip modulation of Phaedra, or the interstellar journey that is Alpha Centauri. Rubycon is the perfect soundtrack to the early morning, as I watch the fog roll out of the valley and the sun break through. My son’s look of wonder just makes it even more special.
