A sample of some obscure – and some maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.
Today’s selection: Tangerine Dream - Yellowstone Park
One of my favorite groups - "band" doesn't seem right. Tangerine Dream - mostly Edgar Froese as composer - fits into what is probably called ... "spacey". A German pioneer in electronic music, the group began in 1967. This selection is off the 14th album "Le Parc" released in 1985. Mostly instrumental compositions - one likes them ... or one doesn't.
I want to try this out as a regular "feature". I have a very weird span in taste of music; thought I'd share some tunes I enjoy on Tuesdays. Why Tuesday? "Tunes For Monday" just doesn't have the same ring.
Some you may like, some you may not, some you may not of ever heard of
My first selection was picked for its timely appropriateness.
Not that I have any sympathy for LA - but there's a lot of people there that don't deserve this ... mixed in with way too many of those that voted for it, profited from their vote, and deserve every bit of it.

And I was falling! I was falling Falling Falling I was falling into the flames And I knew that I was gonna burn! I was gonna burn! Oh it's so hot in here! Let me out! please!
You fought hard and you saved and earned But all of it's going to burn And your mind, your tiny mind You know you've really been so blind Now's your time, burn your mind You're falling far, too far behind Oh no, oh no, oh no! You're gonna burn
Fire, to destroy all you've done Fire, to end all you've become I'll feel you burn
You've been living like a little girl In the middle of your little world And your mind, your tiny mind You know you've really been so blind Now's your time, burn your mind You're falling far, too far behind
Fire, I'll take you to burn Fire, I'll take you to learn You're gonna burn You're gonna burn You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, bu
