Yay! I’ve finally reached Tangerine Dream in my walkthrough. Will spend the next few days, maybe a week (at least), going through my TD collection chronologically – starting with this bootleg of rarities that I got in the early 2000s. The tracks were initially untitled, so Jon and others helped me identify the pieces (no Shazam for these!):
If you like to specify the TATORT tracks a little more:
– “Katja” is from the TATORT episode “Das Mädchen auf der Treppe” (there are actually two more tracks, “Flock” (sometimes “Flock Of Bluebirds”) and “Speed (sometimes “Speed Dragon”), from that episode besides the main theme you seem not to have)
– “Moorland” and “Daydream” are from the TATORT episode “Miriam”Is that supposed to have original TD music? I only know of the three episodes noted on your filmography. German tv movies are often heavily tracked with existing music – without notes in the on screen credits – as the public broadcasters have a GEMA flatrate to use anything (to my knowledge).
But probably we know how in general how it might sound from that year 😉 I’ll keep an eye if that episode is ever re-broadcasted.
A guy on Facebook says there is indeed no original music in the episode.
You can see the episode on youtube.

I only quickly peak and for some weird reasons thought the rip to not have sound then. Around 17:50 there is some promineent TD which naturally sounds familiar like things around that time. But I cannot place where it might be tracked from.
The wikipedia entry also lists some Bernd Decker and Mel von der Decken as music credits who I never heard of. Sadly the rip does not have the credits because normally any original composer should have been listed there. Just track music is never. This often makes verifiy if someone really.
Someone posted a really huge filmography here https://www.tangerinedream-music.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?t=4029 which also includes that episide as original music as it specifially notes tracked music usages.
We all know how inacurate imdb usually is but its soundtrack section lists two tracks from Froese solo album which I don’t know:
https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0121793/soundtrack/The last track on that rarities compilation is so fascinating…that they sounded like this BEFORE they went abstract and electronic:
This is the real “Ultima Thule” track – I think a remixed version though – from the early years that still sounds like a pychedelic rock band:
This one sounds rougher:
Yeah, but still. Weird how these things progress.
Yeah, all the first four albums sound quite different from the “actual TD sound” beginning wiht PHAEDRA (if I recall right).
I’ve gone on record before to say that my TD love starts with TANGRAM in 1980. But I like RUBYCON and STRATOSFEAR from the 70s (no SORCERER, sorry), and I’m fascinated by their early days, when they were more blues, prog rock, krautrock.
