Desert Dream 53:40 Total running time 71:49 Details Recording date March - April 1977 Recording engineer(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann Composer(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann Musician(s) Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann Notes In spring 1977 Tangerine Dream performed two sell-out tours in the USA. They were supported by the visual effects of a Krypton gas laser by Laserium. Tickets in Los Angeles, Cleveland, Washington and New York were all sold-out within days. In October 1977 Virgin released the double-album Encore that featured four long tracks recorded during the tour. Some of the music based on themes from Ricochet, Stratosfear and Sorcerer. The titles Coldwater Canyon (including Edgar Froese's longest guitar solo on record) and Cherokee Lane originate from the roads in Coldwater Canyon near Los Angeles, where TD lived for a while during the tour. Encore is supposed to be the definitive live TD album among fans, and it was the last record featuring Peter Baumann, for after a concert in Denver, Colorado, during the second half of their tour, he informed Edgar Froese and Chris Franke that his private obligations no longer allowed him a full-time collaboration with TD. In November 1977 Peter Baumann left TD for good and started working as a solo artist and producer. He built his own studio in Berlin, before finally leaving that city and moving to New York. Edgar Froese about the leaving of Peter Baumann: "I told Peter Baumann to leave the band. We were in a grave situation stylistically. We wanted to go on further, creating new things and buying more equipment -- learning a lot of new stuff. With his studio he couldn't even practise with us, because his studio was taking up all his time. [...] It was a little strange during the American tour when he said: 'Right, I have to go back to Berlin for a few days to see a guy who is doing the acoustics in the studio.' [...] But anyway, we didn't split on a fight. We just told him to leave and in the end I think he felt OK with us. He's gone to America now, and in the meantime he's sold his studio and is setting up a new one in New York. It's stupid and he's done it for nothing really. He gave up what I think was a creative band and is now sitting in a room somewhere, playing some sort of music. Still, if he feels OK then that's alright." (Interview with Neumusik, January 1980) From 30 Years Of Dreaming At the beginning of 1977, Peter Baumann was occupied with arranging his studio in Berlin and incorporating new equipment. It was left to Froese and Franke to plan the forthcoming tour in the United States. The tour started on 29th March in Milwaukee, and ended on 26t ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR0mydRN1s0
