------------------------------

Tangerine Dream embarked on their first tour of the United Kingdom in 1974, performing twenty concerts across the country in less than seven weeks. Edgar Froese, Christoph Franke and Peter Baumann found themselves in Glasgow on the 20th of November for a concert at the Kelvin Hall, a venue which had previously played host to everything from musicians to boxers to a circus, and even operated as a factory for barrage balloons during the Second World War. The concert was captured by local station Radio Clyde for later broadcast. Only a single 1/4" tape reel from this recording is known to have survived, the last of three which are alleged to contain the entire performance. Despite being nearly half a century old, this reel had been kept in excellent condition and was professionally transferred to digital and then gently remastered.

The two tracks presented here (presumed to be the second set and the encore) were recorded less than a month before the infamous Reims Cathedral concert, yet exhibit a unique energy and approach all their own. Septrional Remnant opens with a wash of atmospheric textures, menacing drones and cascading percussion, before settling into a beautiful ambient drift punctuated by distant tones and a gradually evolving oscillating rhythm urging proceedings along. An extended excursion with the Mellotron soon follows, with passages almost echoing Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares. After more experiments with dark abstract sounds, the band coalesce around a structured approach with a primitive sequence and improvised lead lines bringing the second set to a conclusion. Analog Ascent summarises the music the band have discovered over the course of the last two hours, before a chaotic screeching climax brings the evening to a close, and the audience respond with tumultuous applause.

Radio Clyde are known to have aired at least the 50 minutes of the concert presented here, and an off-air recording of that broadcast was at one stage intended as a volume for the Tangerine Tree series shortly before its conclusion. You may wish to consider this new release as both a late addition to that collection, as well as an appetiser for what may yet be to come...
