Tangerine Dream’s purely instrumental contribution to the eighties flick “Risky Business” is a big reason I bought that soundtrack. But I learned that this is just the tip of the iceberg, if you will. Thanks to Wikipedia, I learned that these German artists have produced over a hundred albums! Time to check out one or two, eh?
Troubled Puppets is my mock group for the letter T. I haven’t decided what type of music they play, but I’m picturing those so-called
fabricated Americans from the 2002 sitcom “Greg the Bunny”. Seth Green acting with puppets is a joy to behold. Too bad the network mishandled things and it only lasted one year.

Troubled Muppets would be funny, but I bet there's a copyright there.

Good point! Thank you for the chuckle. I hope you are having a lovely day.
DeleteI agree with you. It is time to check them out. To think there is music in Germany that I didn't even know was being played. Thank you again for opening my eyes to what is available in Germany on the music scene.
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest day.

Oh, I'm so thrilled that you are interested. My partner has found some really interesting groups from around the world thanks to looking for unusual videos. I'm lucky that way. ~grin~ Blessings, Pat.
DeleteOops, I've never heard of Tangerine Dream and I live in Germany. Hmmmm.. Maybe I should listen to the radio a lot more :)
ReplyDeleteHow neat to find another German resident! What a beautiful country, though my visit was too long ago and brief for me to remember a whole lot. Thank you for stopping by with a kind word.
DeleteCheck out their album, "Ricochet." One of my favorites. Also then listen to Steven Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians." He was influenced by a guy named Moondog. TD and Kraftwerk I think were following in their footsteps. Best

DeleteAwesome, Kurt! Thank you.
DeleteI LOVE Tangerine Dream! I heard of them some years back (when we still bought vinyl albums) and had quite a few of them. Love their sound!

How cool, Kathleen. Thank you for stopping by with a kind word.
DeletePS: also check out the group, Popol Vuh, who did the soundtrack for Herzog's "Aguirre, the Wrath of God."
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Thank you again. I appreciate the tips.
DeleteThere really are quite a few good groups from Germany. (of course, my mind goes blank at this very moment).
ReplyDeleteTroubled Puppets - I can't decide if they should be Emo or Gothic. Perhaps even a hint of Death Metal.

I like your ideas for Troubled Puppets, Mary. Thank you for stopping by! I'm really enjoying your topic, by the way.
DeleteWhat about Troubled Puppies? Now that would be messed up, just to think about. I loved Risky Business and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
ReplyDeleteOh, Ferris Bueller's Day Off is fabulous. I also adore "Better Off Dead". The dark humor never fails to crack me up. I hope you are well, my dear. I must pop over to your blog in hopes you have better news about your furnace.
DeleteTroubled Puppets made me laugh. I'm afraid I might not take them seriously enough, though. I once knew a cat named Sparkle Tangerine.
ReplyDeleteOh, my. What a fantastic name! Thank you for making me laugh in turn, my dear. Have a lovely day!
DeleteI'm guessing Troubled Puppets will have a string section in their band!
