… and The Chronicles Journey continues with this sixth instalment on
Groove Unlimited with “The Concert”, originally released in 1988
comprising of a selection of recordings from 1986 – 1987 concerts.
Due to potential copyright implications, the track “Song of the Whale” has
been omitted and has been replaced with the longer rare composition “The
Final Lophophora”.

Once again, this recording reinforces Patrick’s ability to create accessible
electronic music which is still enjoyable today after almost 40 years.
This remastered version of “The Concert” reveals new nuances previously
attenuated by a variety of media & recording aspects which have been
rectified while retaining the original magic.

For Patrick, In memoriam.

Three cd’s, three tracks.
Although sequences are still very prominent in our music, there is more room this time for ambient parts in the lengthy tracks,
and at the end of cd 2 and especially on cd 3 we flirt with prog.

Axess – The Power of Love
https://www.groove.nl/shop/axess-the-power-of-love/?v=910955a907e7


 
It’s been almost 25 years since Axel released his first solo album, “First Light,” under the pseudonym Axess. Now, on April 10, 2026, his eleventh album, “The Power Of Love,” will be released. In this quarter-century, Axel’s music has undergone a significant transformation. Little remains of the electronic music he originally made, heavily influenced by the so-called Berlin School; this style of music is now pursued by Axel in his project Pyramid Peak. As Axess, the 58-year-old musician, born in Leverkusen but now living in Meerbusch, presents a considerably more subdued sound. Since the 2017 album “Seashore,” Axel’s music has taken on a much more chilled-out, almost ambient, character. Expansive soundscapes, long reverberations, subtle rhythms, and chill beats define the music of his last four albums, and “The Power Of Love” is no exception!

Tangerine Dream was a pioneer in electronic music.
Starting out in the early 1970s with an experimental approach to different sounds, effects and sound collages, they developed their distinctive style in the mid-1970s, placing sequences at the centre of their compositions. The repetitive sound patterns had a hypnotic effect that fascinated many.
The Tangerine Dream formation Baumann/Froese/Franke combined this stylistic device with mysterious or atmospheric sounds and improvised melodies, creating long works that took the listener on a journey to another world.
The Berlin band Tangerine Dream thus shaped the style of the so-called ‘Berlin School’.
