SKU
10-VSD 5399
“Ex-Tangerine Dream artist Christopher Franke released his second and third solo efforts simultaneously, following the successful Pacific Coast Highway. First, The London Concert, recorded live at London's Royal Apollo Theatre in October 1991. While three tracks are versions of pieces from Pacific Coast Highway, the material is mostly new, starting with "Empire of Light," awith its powerful, hypnotic entrance into Franke's spellbinding world of sonic images, combining dramatic electronic and calming acoustic sounds. "Purple Waves," at 16-plus minutes, stretches to a lofty stature of melodic orchestration. The remaining pieces fuse Franke's skilled dynamics into a forceful blend of classical electronic and contemporary sound.”-AllMusic
“This is like Tangerine Dream performing with Froese, Scmoelling and Baumann on break at the back stage and leaving the concert to Chris Franke. Here you can hear and distinguish Chris' contributions to the Tangerine Dream sound and music. Not a single track here is to be missed. There is an epic suite and short tracks taken from his earlier releases but only he can deliver such magnificent and mesmerizing show. More of this please.”
