Tangerine Dream should be no stranger to any fans of 80’s cinema. I learned about the group via Firestarter, a score that I still love to this day. Lately, there has been a lot of new synth groups and solo acts popping up and its popularity is evident by the craze and appreciation of the music behind Netflix’s sleeper hit, Stranger Things.
As you may know, the show used three of Td’s songs/compositions in its first season. Well, it looks like Tangerine Dream either dug the show or really dug the music by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein (one-half of S U R V I V E) because Tangerine Dream just covered/paid tribute to the main theme of Stranger Things. Take a listen below.
It’s important to note that Tangerine Dream’s lineup has consistently changed. The founding member, Edgar Froese, passed on in January of last year.

Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein's Stranger Things score became one of the most acclaimed elements of the hit Netflix series this summer, with many noting the debt owed to electronic pioneers Tangerine Dream, who famously crafted synth-driven soundtracks for such classic/cult '80s films as Risky Business, Legend, Near Dark and Three O'Clock High in addition to releasing over 100 albums over the course of their nearly five-decade career. "We listen to a lot of Tangerine Dream and they did a ton of soundtracks," said Dixon in a recent interview with Salon. "There’s a few key soundtracks by them that definitely influenced us in a lot of ways, like Thief and Sorcerer." Well, the group clearly caught wind of the reference, as over the last several days the trio -- currently consisting of Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane and Ulrich Schnauss -- have released three tracks on Soundcloud that pay tribute to the series,...

The math on Guns N' Roses' long-awaited Chinese Democracy is not promising: no tour, no videos, no interviews and now, one lawsuit.
Five days after news broke that two independent record labels filed suit against Axl Rose's band and the Universal Music Group on Friday over claims that a Democracy track illegally sampled two songs from the German electronic artist Ulrich Schnauss, the Guns camp came out blazing with a denial.
"The band vigorously contests these claims and intends to respond accordingly," manager Irving Azoff said in a statement released on Tuesday. "The band believed when the record came out and still believes that there are no unauthorized samples on the track."
According to Azoff, the snippets of ambient noise that open the song "Riad...

Guns N' Roses have responded to claims that they plagiarised music from two songs by Ulrich Schnauss on last year's Chinese Democracy. It has been claimed that the track 'Riad N' the Bedouins' features ambient noise samples taken without permission from Schnauss's 'Wherever You Are' and 'A Strangely Isolated Place'. The band's manager Irving Azoff said: "The band believed when the record came out and still believes that there are no unauthorised samples on the track. "The snippets of 'ambient noise' in question were provided by a member of the album's production team who has assured us that these few seconds of sound were obtained legitimately." (more)...
