DOWSE Guide to the Movies
by Tony Lee editor of Pigasus Press

Oasis

Tangerine Dream, TDI Music TD1007CD

I didn't realise 'til the album came through, that it was actually an album that contained music from the original piccy, and was indeed a soundtrack! Mind you, I've not heard of the film. This version of Tangerine Dream is back to Edgar and Jerome Froese. Being fair to the lads, it's actually one of the best albums I've heard by the Froeses and looking at the sleevenotes it would appear that Oasis is a kind of geographical documentary. The subtitle is "Natural Wonders Of The American Southwest" - I'd love to see, and hear, it. There are eight tracks that sparkle with originality and a freshness that's been lacking in one or two of TD's late-period material. One or two of the titles give you a bit of a visual starter, such as 'Summer Storm', 'Waterbom' and 'Flashflood', but stuff like 'Zion' and 'Cedar Breaks' don't give too much away. This in itself is no bad thing as your mind is left, unfettered, to wander without influence through the colourful and magical synoptic landscapes created by the Froeses. Pretty effective stuff - even without seeing the film.
