| “ | 2006 Press release wrote: The 'Blue Dawn' is a collaboration between an old chap of Edgar, Ralf Wadephul (he accompanied TD on their US tour in 1988) and Edgar Froese himself. It contains unreleased stuff from the two guys which came out of nightliner sessions, hotel suite compositions and later collaborations. The material of this album was composed during Tangerine Dream's North American tour back in August/September 1988. weeks after weeks in tour buses, planes, hotels and various locations gave the two guys here the opportunity to get musically into something different off stage. The plan was to release the stuff as an on and off the road album later in the year. The road feeling as well as the summertime in the states had been a strong influence for these compositions. The album was completed while hanging out after the tour at a friend's place in LA. Because of various reasons the album had a delay for over about seventeen years before it now will be presented to the public. | ” |

Ralf's compositions truly sound as if they were composed and also recorded back in late 1988, whereas I'm not so sure about Edgar..it seems he couldn't resist to re-record some parts, and tracks like "Thunderheads" (even though it's great) sound a bit out of place because of its use of modern technology. At first I didn't like "Blue dawn"..I kept comparing the tracks to "Optical race" (the only true reference point I guess, apart from "Dead solid perfect" which also was performed around the same time, and also with Ralf Wadephul as part of the line-up). However "Blue dawn" is a bit different both in songwriting (a bit relaxed and slower) and production (sparse compared to the almost overproduced sounds of Optical race). But what both albums do have in common are catchy melodies, nice guitar riffs and a good production. Maybe you won't find tracks which are as ultra-melodic as for example "Marakesh" or "Optical race", but I am very pleased with this latest collaboration release (at least much more than I was with "Kyoto" ). It may not be as powerful as the 'official' studio releases which came out in the late 80's, however this is a CD which is not to be missed! I'm also glad that Edgar kept the 'tangentizing' (re-recording/overdubbing older material with new sounds) to an absolute minimum. It also shows that Ralf Wadephul wasn't just a 'hired gun' for the Optical Race world tour, that guy was able to write some mighty fine tunes (especially "Food for the gods", this sounds very much like Chris Franke's "Pacific Coast Highway" album and I bet he would have included it right away in case it would have been his own composition). Thumbs up! :-) | ” |

The latter toured with TD in 1988, but didn't release any records (although he wrote the track Sungate on the album Optical Race). He was brought in when Chris Franke left (and before Edgar's son Jerome joined full-time). The tracks are solid, and clearly written in the late 1980s, as they fit the style of TD of the time. Ralf's compositional style differed somewhat from Edgar's, and the variation is a welcome change, as are some great (and newly recorded) guitar solos from Ed (though not long enough). It's a really solid album, and if you like the late 1980s TD style, then this will do it for you. If you only like the sequencer driven 1970s, then leave well alone! 3.5 for me, 4 if you like late 1980s TD. | ” |
