Expanded Expanded Edition ?

That's a first I think ?

That's really non-information on Amazon's part, without a track listing of some kind. :?
EDIT: Amazon USA is even less informative:

Sure, with Froese smearing D50 factory patches all over the place, like he´s done with all TD reissues so far. This world doesn´t need yet another tangentized version of any pre-Froese/Froese era TD.

Doesn't bother me. . . . I don't have that album as a physical anyway.

Edgar Froese has some good solo albums, too.

The song "Tropic of Capricorn" is about 20 minutes, but it's godly.

I agree with this 100%. I absolutely LOVE Tangerine Dream's original recordings from the 70s and early 80s. But these new rerecordings and remixes destroy the character of the original tracks.

The new Froese/TD recordings just sound lazy, bland presets slapped over boring drum loops, he doesn't put any thought into sound design or atmosphere anymore. The same with Chris Franke, his modern music is terrible compared to his time with Tangerine Dream.

All the original Virgin years recordings (1973 to 1983) are classics in my opinion, equal with Jarre's work.

I hope that Froese and Franke will go back to their old vintage analog synths one day like Jarre has. But unfortunately I think that these days they are only interested in paying the bills, they can't be bothered actually making real music anymore. It's really sad.

I think TD lost it in the early 90s already. I've seen a live show on DVD a while ago, man.. it's all gone all the way new age w/ panflutes and stuff. Seriously, that sucks.

TD was greater than the sum of its parts, the partnership between Froese and Franke produced IMO the best electronic music there is, however once parted neither really did anything of interest. Franke initially impressed with 'The London Concert', 'Pacific Coast Highway' and Klemania which contained all the DNA of the classic TD sound but he promptly abandoned that in favour of basic TV scores. The quality of Froese' output seems to depend upon which musicians he hires but even then it just sounds tired and without direction. IMO it's only Haslinger and Schmoelling that can still produce good music.

I've never really understood TD music, nor erlier nor later.
I mean what's it all about seriously? :P

I love their music, sometimes more, sometimes less. But this publication looks like nonsense

I have this record, they claim it was for just a bit of fun but for me it just further illustrates how Froese has lost any sense of direction.

from 1970 to 1986 TD were the greatest music force in the universe, but Ed never knew when to quit and just keeps endlessly churning out about 4 or 5 CD's per year of bland-o-rama wallpaper music, just have no interest any more.

However I did see him live in May and he looked very frail and thin, often having to use the equipment on stage to help him get on and off, a shame really as he (along with Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling, Paul Haslinger, Peter Baumann) were (and still are retrospectively) real musical heroes of mine, seeing the founder fade like this is a little heartbreaking.
