Phaedra

If you’ve never played a video game before and were curious what the music that’s played while you wait to start sounds like, you could listen to this.

Ambient.

4/10 gave me the heebie jeebies.

Heard of this group, didn't realize they made 100 albums or scored GTA5 (sick). Weird alien space electronic music. Mostly calming but sometimes spooky. Sounds like it could be the score for a 80s sci-fi film.. I believe this sounds ahead of it's time, but not really for me. 2.5/5

The very essence of "in one ear and out the other". None of this was bad, per se, but other than some cool switching between audio sources, there isn't much here.

Not for me.. for its time it must have been revolutionary and inspiring for many artist. Electronic albums like this can’t interest me.

Not offensive but doesn’t spark joy. A lot of it seemed like movie soundtrack music - especially a sci fi movie.

Interesting, didn't really hook me but decent

Psichedelico, ma non per questo bellissimo

Very atmospheric but not particularly interesting

Weird

Important to note that this album would be revolutionary in 1974. Unfortunately I’m not here to rate revolutionary practices (it would be a 4) though it does inform my overall rating. At the end of the day, most of it is down to personal enjoyment. Might not be my thing but might be yours!

Beperkt kunnen luisteren, maar genoeg ok te concluderen dat het weinig boeiend is.

I shit my pants when this album appeared on the 1001 albums generator. I've really got to listen to this? It's WAY out of my comfort zone. My highly refined musical prejudices should make me run a mile from this shit. I needn't have worried. It was the first thing I listened to today. It was the perfect soundtrack for my online catch up as I slowly eased into the morning with endless mugs of hot tea. It got a little Dungeons and Dragons. I came close to bailing. Soundscapes drifted in and out, not quite sufficient to grab my attention, but decent background music all the same. I probably would feel a little different if I wanted a buzzing off yer tits Friday night album.

should play this as background to the lava lamp

If I ever find myself lost in space, floating, completely alone, I imagine this album will somehow be playing.

kind of lackluster. Not memorable

Good electronic ambient, sometimes too stressed to be a calming background

I was listening while I was cleaning the house and sort of kept forgetting I was listening to it. I didn't dislike it, but just sort of meh.

Heard a few tracks, which was enough to appreciate the vibe but recognize it’s not my jam.

Blah.

Startet med at man blir kidnappet av aliens, 12:15 kommer det noen seler og måker. Begynner å føle meg litt paranoid. Tror ikke jeg er kul nok til å høre på dette albumet.

This would be fine as a sound track or music bed but I found it very boring as an album. I honestly didn’t notice when it finished. Probably important and ground breaking but not much fun to listen to.

Not familiar with them. Too ambient for me. Not sure why it's on a 1001 list honestly.

The first 2 tracks of this album weren't available on Spotify so I went and found them on YouTube. Interesting that this is most likely the shortest album on the list so far, and if it isn't then it's definitely the shortest track-amount wise. Nice album overall, gives off classical "new music" vibes to me. Early synth work in this space with lots of repetition for an output that is meditative and reflective. Slightly boring.

A symphony of extremely long noise

Repetitive, instrumental, strange, trippy, evocative, repetitive, weird, lyric-less, bizarre and repetitive.

Rough listen. Reminds me of a music class I took in college that was at time painful!

Not sure if this album has survived time... But has certainly been important for the development of eclectronic music.

Listened to on 9/20/22 2/5 Favorite song: sequent c This electronic album made me feel like I was in a spaceship but verdicts still out on if that’s a good or bad thing

Meh, not for me.

Best Song: Not applicable. Worst Song: Not applicable. Overall: This is ethereal space music. I'm not sure whether it is good ethereal space music, but that is what it is. It feels like music that would be best listened to while absolutely blitzkrieged in a planetarium, but when just sitting at work, staring at spreadsheets, it comes off as a little tedious. Context is key for this one.

This is irritating me profoundly. One or two tracks fine; but a whole album of wishy washy flute tunes is abysmal to experience. Spa music.

Part of me thinks I'll finally quit doing this daily exercise after I score 100 albums with a 5. If I even get to 100. But I still have a lot of Beatles albums to rate, the two Van Halen and Michael Jackson albums I know are getting 5's. I'm currently at 70, and the Fabs, Jacko and VH should push me to 80. That leaves me with 20 surprises, which is what still brings me to this site every day. This is a long way to say that Tangerine Dream does not present a case for being one of those twentysomething surprises.

This album may have established the genres of house and trap. It doesn't do much for me.

Kinda uninspired....

Didn’t strike the right balance of engaging and ambient. May not have been in the right headspace though

Some interesting points, and at times pretty unsettling, but a lot of boring noodling about without really going anywhere. Felt more of a chore than something to enjoy.

Quite dull.

The entire album is ambient music. Unlike with Tubular Bells, I was not familiar with any of the music. It waa alright, but I don't think I will listen to it again.

Fine background noise. Probably won’t revisit.

Geweldige muziek voor in een wonderbaarlijke wereld van de Efteling. Niet zo fijn om dit een heel album te luisteren. Verder niet slecht gedaan.

I’m sure this is a seminal album in the genre and pioneered new techniques, but if you don’t enjoy soundscapes you won’t enjoy this.

I like Can and Kraftwerk and thought this would be a cross between the 2. It's really ambient though and I barely noticed it being on. Disappointing.

I guess this album could be described as peaceful, especially "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares". But think this album would be significantly more interesting if you were high, I'm unlikely to listen to it again.

Spotify cut the first half of the album so not sure if I got the full experience, what I heard was more than enough though.

I don't mind instrumental music, and I don't mind angular, noisy stuff, but the first movement of this really set my expectations low. Rest of it is pleasant-enough background music. Just didn't do much for me. Favorite track: "Mysterious Semblance At the Strand of Nightmares"

More ambient ''music'. It just sounds like somebody mucking about in the BBC Radiophonic workshop. Very nice as background, maybe as a filmscore, but not to be actively listened to.

I mean, great. Someone had to do it I guess. But of the ding dong beep boops to work or study this isn’t the one I’d choose first

Not as weird as I expected, but not exactly gonna listen again. Fav new track: Mysterious Semblance At The Strand Of Nightmares (🙄)

Nope

First listen. I know a lot of people are fans. I'm not getting it yet. Nice music, but nothing special.

After The Lexicon of Love (which has been on constant for more than the day that was allowed), this just feels really boring. I always struggle with music that doesn't go anywhere. It wasn't on iTunes and only the remixed/extended 2 hrs 35 mins version is on Spotify. The first song is more than 17.5 mins. Wikipedia tells me the original album is just the four songs. I'm sure it's important in the development of electronica and ambient music....but 12 mins in to that first song and nothing much has happened. Noodling for stoners

made me anxious

Too much for me

This was the first electronic music album that I'll evaluate with more than 1 star. The first song has a dreamy sensation that is likable, but it's still that kind of European electronic song that's absolutely not my kind of thing.

I searched through my old high school yearbooks but couldn't track down my drug dealer from back in the day. Pity. This album would have been great on acid.

Historically interesting prog-electronica from the 70s when it must have been super uncool. Can't imagine these German guys where rocking at hotel parties with hookers and blow. Still cool to learn about the process and how they made it. Sounds better than much of the electronic music today, but still basically ambient and not quickly fades into the background.

weird foreign concept albums stay weird

Irgendein Melodiegeplänkel dass einen wie einlullt. Sehr speziell und nicht meins.

Decent enough background music.

This album reminds of a soundtrack to some wanky piece of modern/physical theatre that I had to go watch during theatre studies a level. Not as bad as Divine Comedy though.

Had something about it. But a bit of a slog

Meh

Not really my jam.

Almost put me to sleep while driving =(

Electronic Music/Ambient Music. Different. Bit trippy.

This avant garde ambient album is innovative and influential, and should be celebrated for that. It's also mostly unlistenable. It belongs on the Stranger Things soundtrack, but I don't want to hear it otherwise. I did learn the word "krautrock" today, so that's something. Best track: Sequent C

Pretentious and boring at the same time.

Churchy and boring.

Oh, fuck no.

Not a fan

Spa music. Not unpleasant… but has no role on this list. Giving it one star not because I don’t like it, but there is nothing unique about it. Background music to a massage in my opinion.

Innovation does not always equal art. Or maybe I just don’t get electronic music. But a 17 minute song is a crime.

Two songs is not an album unless you are Fela 🗯️😾

Nopers

Wtf

This album wasn’t on spotify (only two of its songs were) so I had to listen to it on youtube - which didn’t bode well. Never have I been so happy for an album to be over. I strongly strongly dislike this. I’m glad that music of this type (eg ambient soundscapes) are on this list but I personally did NOT enjoy this one. It made me anxious and stressed. I can see why this is absolutely some people’s cup of tea and I can also see how this could be completely transformative for some people - but it’s decidedly not for me, and that’s ok.

С утра покушал какашку

Very slow electronic music that requires drugs.

Erm no

couldn’t do it

20 min un tema no es serio

Feels like a very long intro to a song like Kuiper by Floating Points, but it never gets anywhere. I guess that's the true ambient genre - one you have to already be in the mood for. I was not. I guess the history lesson is nice. 1974! Berlin's been weird a long time. But if history is the reason to listen, then the first album recording wolf howls better be on here.

Pointless white noise

There is not a lot to rate. I get it is early electronica, but it was just a long swirly, floaty non entity of an album.

Boring

Going into Phaedra by Tangerine Dream, I’ll be honest and say this is not normally the type of music I would enjoy at all. Long instrumental electronic albums are usually not my thing, and on paper this sounded like exactly the sort of record I tend to struggle with. That said, knowing this was made in 1974 and helped shape electronic music as we know it makes it impossible not to respect. For its time, this sounds incredibly progressive, ambitious and way ahead of the curve, so I was genuinely interested to see what I would make of it. I ended up really enjoying this. It’s the kind of album that works brilliantly in the background — immersive, atmospheric and unlike anything else I’ve heard on the list so far. There’s something hypnotic about it, and once you settle into its rhythm, it becomes a very absorbing listen. One thing worth mentioning is that it was surprisingly difficult to track down, as it wasn’t available on Apple Music or Spotify, so I had to listen to it on YouTube. Despite that extra effort, I’m glad I did, because this is definitely an album I could see myself coming back to. Favourite tracks: “Phaedra” Least favourite tracks: Everything on the album was worth listening to Album artwork: Cool album cover

Oh man, this sucks on a whole other level. 1/10

At what point does music just become a soundscape? As soundscapes go, it's nice enough, but to actually sit down and listen to this? No thanks.

I'm not saying it's bad music, I'm just saying I don't get it.

Мінімалізм слухати цікавіше, там у більшості випадків, у пісні є якийсь центральний елемент чи мотив. Тут же немає абсолютно нічого. Просто купа водянистих сінтів без долі акцентованості. Можливо це треба ставити на фон (ембіент все ж таки), але при активному слуханні мені це здалось абсолютною нудотою. Оцінка: висока 2/низька 3

Unlistenable nonsense

Absolute wank. Sounds like the sounds of a very bad trip

(1/7) ugh

Sounds like the things that I put to sleep on spotify.

Felt very pointless.

Entiendo la importancia, el peso que tuvo en el desarrollo de la música electrónica pero no me gusta la música repetitiva por eso le doy calificación baja

Sounds like a nervous breakdown.

me rescaté de que seguía en el primer tema a los 9 min. Dura 17. Aparte no arrancaba más. Es techno entiendo. Lo saqué

I mean, eh.

This makes me really uncomfortable, I had to skip through for my own good.

felt like i was in a modern art gallery exhib (could only find the last two songs on Spotify and i don't think i want to find the first two)

No.

It’s OK for working, but I don’t really understand what makes this special. It’s very pleasant but

This was work. It might have earned a second star if it was in Swedish. I don't feel like I need to elaborate on that.

Exceptionally long record of noise.

Not a fan. Dentist office music.

inaudible

While impressive that all of this was analog in the 1970’s, I feel like this should’ve stayed in the hotbox studio where it was created. Fave song: none 1/5

No, I don’t like this crap at all -1😂

Elektroninen musiikki ei käy minulle

When it comes to electronic music I like mine to be rhythmic and catchy, especially when combined with the harshness of industrial music. This just feels way too ambient for my tastes, I could not get through all of it. This feels like the backing track to a hawkwind song minus the guitars and drumming

Und wo ist das Lied?

Interesting. I only found the 2010 version and if it is unaltered as far as the music itself then this is absolutely groundbreaking. I still didn’t love it as far as driving around listening to it but as background or film score it’s pretty cool. I’ll do a 3-10, but as always- round down..

Good for sleeping to? Not anything I can really compare to good music.

Kraftwerk and these guys probably had fights in alleys lit by neon signs

Ok??

Shit

Fuck off

Not a lot of fucking good if its not available on apple music. Wankers

malardo

*1973. German electronic... *It's just very long tracks of ambient music/sounds... *This sounded like the background soundtrack music for movie set in Mars... *Maybe this album is more complex and deep than I realize, but I'll not be doing any research or giving it any more listens to find out. RATING - 3.5/10

Trash.

Oops all noise (sorry to the Germans)

i had to turn this off because it made me anxious. i refuse to be anxious on a friday.

I hated this. Just boring noise

meh

Yeah, ambiance as an album is neat, but not something I really want personally. Acid trip type noise is all right but not for me.

I’ll be totally honest, I hated this. It’s not garbage, it’s not so bad that I didn’t understand why it was on the list like other albums I’ve given a one to before, I can see the obvious talent and work that went into this album. This is sort of embarrassing to admit but this album legitimately gave me uncomfortable anxiety that just kept digging in deeper. It was incredibly unpleasant and I really hated getting through this album. I tried to give it a few extra chances but each time I hated equally as much as the last. Kinda confused about this one cause I’m usually naturally into crazy electronic music.

Absolutely not what I wanted for my cycle to work

Just not for me, I can kinda get why it’s hear but just not my music End of the first track sounds like a lore accurate cover of what does the fox say 1.5

Not my thing

This was a struggle. I wanted to like it but every song felt unbearably long, and aside from some moments in the first 17 minute track, nothing stood out. Even for background music this was forgettable.

Ikke tilgængelig på Spotify - Ambient spild af tid. Lyt til alt andet istedet.

Ligegyldig elektro uden melodi eller rytme

v ambient. could imagine this playing at a space themed aquarium for bioluminescent marine life

tiene literalmente 2 (dos) temas brother. que vergas estoy escuchando

Awful. Hated it. Just noises.

I didn't like it...

No words for how little I enjoyed this

"Phaedra" by Tangerine Dream, a German band - which I'd never heard of before, despite being German myself. Probably because this isn't the kind of music I usually listen to. Very spacey, very experimental '70s electronic, packed with synthesizers. Definitely not my taste, but I can see the appeal for fans of the genre.

I got about 15 minutes into the first song before I decide I could not take over two more hours of this. Not for me :)

Not on Amazon Music

Really not my thing.

Shifting, slowly evolving electronic layers built from shimmering analog synths, drifting sequencer pulses, and vast, wordless atmospheres move this electronic album like watching frost form on a windowpane. At first the quietly shifting, hypnotic, and absorbing atmosphere is interesting then rapidely boring me enough to asking myself when the end of the album puts me out of my misery.

I respect the history, and if I ever find myself in need of atmospheric film music I know where to go.. but ultimately it's not really sit down and listen to music?

I fear I don't like instrumental songs

What a load of old wank.

Yup this makes sense but zero Donna Summer. Checks out.

i dont like being all cynical and reductive but theres only so many "da doo doo"s i can listen to in one sitting. i like to imagine them in the studio standing around being like "oh yeah need some more bleep boops here definitely, maybe axe the whee woo?"

God what a bunch of ambient shit

Boring trippy ambient nonsense

1.5

I appreciate this isn't for everyone. But I dont personally find it relaxing when I'm lying in bed listening to the sound of an alien abduction 1 ⭐️

...i'm sorry, what? not certain if this link is correct - perhaps it is meant to be the deluxe release, which has...more than the two aongs this one does?

0/5 did not listen

what the fuck

Shite.

Bookmarked for the next time I need a break from Lofi Girl

The same sound for 35 minutes. Inoffensive but ultimately pointless.

Disquieting

There was the odd fleeting moment where it didn't annoy me

Well, I listened to it. I won’t again unless I randomly need some ethereal electronic music.

Boring spa music

Good alien landing music. But I don't get it

Mest en massa ljud. Var säkert på sitt sätt innovativ i hur man skapa elektronisk musik när den kom. Det gör det inte roligare att lyssna på idag. Ett plus att det fungerar att ha i bakgrunden när man jobbar. Att lyssna aktivt däremot? Nej tack!

Jag finner personligen ingen mening i ambient musik. Jag vill inte ha bakgrundsmusik, jag vill lyssna på musik.

This could come in really useful, I was fast asleep after only 7 minutes. An insomniacs dream, if there is such a thing.

What makes an ambient album good? Like how does one delineate between bad ambient and good?

01) Phaedra - 5,0 02) Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares - 5,0 03) Movements of a Visionary - 4,0 04) Sequent C - 3,0 TOTAL: 4,25 (43/100) Current ranking: 671/690

How is this one of the best albums ever

1/5 - bleh it's a skill to make something musically interesting sound so boring so props to that. Absolutely not for me though tbh. Gave me anxiety actually, kinda sounds like what a panic attack feels like...

1/5

Jesus slowly and bitterly wept into a tiny crystal cup. This is absolutely dreadful. It's barely worth describing, because it's just so infuriating and stupid. Talented guys making weird atmospheric noise without any purpose. I say this as someone who likes ambient, who likes quietness, and who quite likes weird, purposeless atmospheric noise, but it's just dreadful.

If you want to listen to a majorly atmospheric album you should try Houmous & Chutney’s anti CFC record ‘At Most Peers’ directed towards the House of Lords when they didn’t pass a law banning them! 0.3 14/14 Organ Piece (I’ll be forever grateful for the final track ending my misery)

Only half the album was available on Spotify but that’s all I needed. Boring soundscapes with no traditional song structure.

weird. not the kind of electronic i like. Didnt sound like music

Noises

Just some kraut wanking off his synth for fucking hours.

A tough listen because I thought it was shit.

I bet at some point in time, before keyboards were available that this was some kind of revolutionary madness that set the precedent for many albums. That doesn't make it a musically good/enjoyable album.

Crap

This is giving me anxiety because of the music and the font on the album cover. Make it stop.

I had to turn this off halfway through as it was giving me a headache. Definitely not for me

Seltsam. Spotify zeigt nur zwei Songs in dem Album an, schreibt aber unten hin, es seien vier und das ganze 37 Minuten lang. Ansonsten gab es noch die 2 1/2 Stunden Deluxeversion. Nein danke. Ist nicht so meins. Nicht so nervig wie andere elektronische Alben hier, aber was war das? Das hat mich weder unterhalten noch berührt, es plätscherte einfach vor sich hin.

Bad album cover (the revisited version I heard had a fucking blue alien as the cover), boring music

huh, is this an album to listen and watch while getting high? Not my cuppa

vu la couverture jspr que ce sera pas trop expérimental C'était purement instrumental

I still don't understand how all these one-off weird electronic albums get on this list, but some major artists/groups (mostly from the early 2000's) are left off. This is literally mass produced videogame background music.

Phaedra (2/10) Mysterious Semblance at the Strand if Nightmares (2/10) Movements of a Visionary (2/10) Sequent C (6/10) 3/10

Pretty terrible. I am not opposed to ambient music, but these tunes just went on for EVER. 1/5

Music of the spheres. Which means: Not very exciting or interesting or anything much at all, unless you're under the influence of mind-altering substances. Sure, the sounds are groundbreaking for their time, so I know why it's on the list. But I may just as well just listen to the surf rolling in and out again for hours at the beach.

In my book a record with two songs is a Single, not ana album.

No thanks.

I got halfway through this on Friday. When I found on Monday that I still had half to go, I groaned "Oh, God." And it didn't get any better. I see this crowd have 127 albums. I hope that at least one of them is at least a little better than this.

Unknown band for me. Not a fan of electronic music. OK album.

No. Triggers my misophonia

I don’t get it. If this was on in the background I wouldn’t even notice it

1+ Stars (3/15)

This is way to out there for me. Maybe I'm just not in the right headspace for it but 3 out of 4 songs i disliked. The last one was okay but sounded more like something that should be in the background of a movie scene then something that I would listen to when wanting music.

Twaddle felt like i was l listening to a game load on the spectrum in the 80s.

I don’t have the words to express how bad this was.

I just think a lot of people in the 70s didn't know how to start and end songs. Intros go on forever with nothing really happening, something mildly interesting happens for a couple of minutes in the middle and then the song sounds like it's done, but no! Surprise fake out! Have another 5 minutes. Urgh. I think punk started not as a backlash to all the animal noises and ambient bollocks, but just because they wanted to show it was possible to create a fully formed 3 minute long song. Anyway, I knew I was going to hate this from the first 3 minutes of the 17 minute first track. Either we've been extremely unlucky with the randomness of the generator, or the makers of this book were obsessed with 70s nonsense that feels like it'll never bloody end. This is nowhere near as unlistenable as some of my previous 1 star albums, but given it actively made me grumpy: 1/5

To say this was not my thing is an understatement. I almost want to apologize to the other albums that were given a 1 in this journey because this was next level below.

Esse álbum é extremamente bizarro

First song is 17 minutes long fuck out of here.

Did I make it to the end of track 1, or halfway through track 2? I have no idea since I didn't look when I hit stop, and the first two tracks were ridiculously long. It was some absolutely boring slop that wasn't even worth being background noise. It's like listening to meditation music to help you sleep, which I get why people enjoy... but it does not need to be anything you need to hear before you die.

Not for me

I’m just confused. What the hell? Am I supposed to be high while listening to this? Am I high right now?

So bad wtf

An album with this little effort put in doesn't even deserve the dignity of a review.

self indulgent shite

I'm sure it was groundbreaking for its time, kept waiting for the beat to drop or somthing, nah its just all tension no realse, better ambient music out there.

Ah yeah... cue the random noise generator. Not for me

Really not for me don’t know if I’m not a fan of ambient or just this but was so bored the whole way through nothing going on

lowkey kinda creepy. not really my vibe. didn’t help that i listened in a dark room. there just isn’t a lot going on. a shame, since this this was a pioneering album for electronic music. i respect it and how it may have shaped the electronic style but just cannot get behind it. 1/5

Sauna music. I can appreciate it, but that's about it.

Just because it's weird doesn't make it good or an album

Envelheceu mal

Crap

I’m done listening to electronic music on this list

Truly pointless

While not acoustically offensive, this felt like a whole lotta nothing. I had it on the background and it went completely unnoticed. Fine but very unnecessary for this list.

Felt like this had been going forever and I was only on song 2. As a big Pink Floyd fan, I’m no stranger to songs that go on for a long time but at least those songs have David Gilmour’s guitar to keep things interesting. This was just a lot nothing tbh.

I got sleep

Ambient boring shit

Meh, bunch of noise

Unfassbar schlecht. Album aus zwei „Songs“ die sich anhören wie eine Aneinanderreihung von irgendwelchen Tönen und Geräuschen. Unfassbarer Bullshit…

Utterly boring.

Too slow and not interesting

Eletronic ambiente music earlys 70. No listening again.

Brian Eno’s music for an alien abduction. “If we’re going to listen to artists from 80s horror soundtracks, I’d prefer Goblin” -John

# 404 : drearey Electronic noise is just not me. I think I went to sleep a couple of times Hahahaha zzzzzz. I thought it was very ordinary and Quiet forgettable. Way too long as well with a 17 minute opening track!, and as someone else said, life became a loading screen that was stuck for around 40 minutes. Might be alright in an elevator when you're stoned or as background music but that's about it.

yay, another "ethereal sounds" album! Juuuuuust what I needed ... not

Not really sometimes that appeals to me, i found this music a little boring tbh

Nah bruh

Yes, I HAVE to listen to this. Awesome thanks.

This was a nothing album

Wtf was this?

Garbage

I want to like this, but it's just so abrasive in the most dull way possible, I moved between bored and annoyed in equal measures. How does that happen? At least throbbing gristle wasn't dull...

This is unstructured ambient noise. I couldn’t finish it.

Today's album is weird. It's like the music in the que while in line for some educational ride at EPCOT

atmospheric, long, boring, everything sounds the same

Just was not the kind of thing I needed - too weird and heavy

nah

One of many albums that affirms my believe that electronic music has not aged well. Maybe pretty lights and other contemporaries will age better? This sounds like captain kirks nightmare.

It's a step above white noise if I wanted to listen to music. Could be good for a movie scene but not really something that I'd want to listen to on its own. 2/10

Science documentary music. ...Kraftwerk for dead people.

Weird, experimental techno

Too boring. Ambient...

Knightrider did it better

First track gave me anxiety. Pass!

Ground control to Major Tom.. don’t listen to this album, it’s total garbage.

I could not listen to this

Just dull....I really didn't care for this at all.

te wacky

Dull

Weird. Wouldn’t listen to again.

Don’t like one bit

Another one that doesn’t belong on this list

Pasting default message that despite keeping an open mind my county tends to vote down the more pure electronica albums.

Spent more time being irritated by this than enjoying it. It’s probably groundbreaking for its genre but I just don’t see this as routinely listenable?!

Just didn’t care for it at all unfortunately

Is it music or background noise?

Sounds like the soundtrack to some B-rated movie

Blegh.

1-2

So fucking boring I almost died

Beep boop keyboard smashy... Pass

Never a time nor place for this. I suppose if you needed a movie score. On fact, I'd like to see a separate artist write and produce a full album music vid.

I wouldn’t really call this music. It’s more like sounds, and I can see it being used in movies, or as a space or robotic type background noise, but it’s not music. Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: none

I think spotify is missing a track or 2. but that’s okay - i saw what i needed. when im ready to go to space ill ping bezos and ask him to put me on a blue origin rocket. then ill ensure this album plays on repeat. until then ill never listen to this trash garbanzo music again

“One of the most influential electronic albums ever!!!” My dude this is just 1 note with some rain, wind, and ocean sound effects over it for like 45 minutes

70s ASMR? I suppose it might be nice background music for working. In all honesty I didn’t get through the entire album, only got to the track “Movements of a Visionary” I guess I’m not seeing the vision.

Not a huge fan, but I can see that it was a very forward thinking and groundbreaking release in 1974

I'll probably sound extremely ignorant saying this—especially to the fans of electronic music—but 'Phaedra' sounds like the kind of stuff they'd play at a spa to quickly put you to sleep. Sure, it may be significant to the genre, but I don't get why I'd listen to this unless I'd want to completely float away and disengage (this is the kind of music you play and forget it's on). Either that or put it on if you're having trouble falling asleep—I bet it works wonders. 1.5 stars (+0,5 stars 'cause it's not unpleasant, just extremely boring, sleepy, and repetitive)

Torture. Took actual effort to tolerate this. And wasn’t worth it in the slightest.

What in the ET phones home is this? Supposedly this is some ground breaking electronic music but to me it just seems like something guys came up with stoned out of their mind taking about aliens. Aliens! This was kind of calming and good for background noise but still lame.3.0/10

nope

An album can be groundbreaking and still be rubbish. I get how electronica needed influences like this, I can also agree that it is a movement that lacks musical merit.

Weird Obscure German techno - gave me a headache within the first 5 minutes....

I don’t get it

boring as hell, nothing happened, doesn’t belong on the generator

Science center ambiance sounds. 1/10

Not awful, just wholly unnecessary.

great music for a doctor’s office that hates it’s patients!

Meh

I've tried Tangerine Dream before but it does nothing for me. Just boring droning noises.

Hated every minute of this

My opinion hasn't changed in all this time. Still boring, self-indulgent, synth noise.

Pointless, pointless sythy, windy, oceany whispers -- the kind of music that would make heaven hell.

Thanks, I hate it

Pure Electronica - not for me.

Awful, and not all songs available on Spotify

Hated it

Ufff

Admittedly couldn't finish this one. Didn't even finish the first song. I can't sit and patiently listen to ambient noise.
