Phaedra

14 songs, 2 hrs and 35 minutes. Synth.

Whoever put this list together's intent is for me to commit suicide

Its not that I cant die without listening to it. Its that I almost died listening to this crap.

First listen Saved 0/4

Not for me.

I do not wanna listen to this album, so here’s me just getting the review out of the way. DNF/5.

Absolutely terrible, had to lower the speaker volume to avoid embarrassment, how do I even explain listening to these random noises... It's not even background noise, it's worse.

Shit

Not my style.

Pretentious piffle

Yea, this is not for me. I can appreciate it for what it accomplished and inspired in others, but it just wasn’t an enjoyable listen for me. I think a lot of the sounds and sequencing were nice, but I desired more musical movement. I didn’t really receive any closure, and it seemed to be devoid of any dynamics that required closure in the first place.

Found it hard to engage with the emotion depth of the music

wat

Not my jam

Not for me. And that's ok!

Meh

This mostly sounds like background music for watching the night sky, but you want to turn it off and just enjoy the view.

It's not a great sign when I check how many tracks are on an album while listening and think "oh good, only four".

This didn't do anything for me. Pretty boring, and I guess I didn't get it. 1.49/5

What

Weird not for me

What in the twilight zone spa therapy music is this?

I’m not high. Therefore I’m not into this sound bath

Maybe ok to meditate too, I was listening in the car and I forgot I was even listing to an album only to be reminded by a ping. I like songs with music. I get it’s its own thing but not really worthy of this list in my opinion.

Great.... More ambient alien sex music. This is not music as far as I can tell. My first thought was that it sounded like video game loading screen music, and turns out it is! These guys scored the music for GTA 5. This garbage has no place on any greatest albums list. Reminds me a lot of Jean-Michel Jarre. The album generator wanted me to listen to the deluxe edition of this album, but fuck that. Like hell I'm subjecting myself to an extra almost 2 hrs of this shit. I'd rather listen to owls fuck. Favourite song: Sequent C, simply because it is the shortest song on this shitty record. Least favourite songs: All of it. No redeeming qualities. Utter trash. A waste of 38 minutes of my life. 1/5

Weird.

Just not my thing. I like words or at least melodies.

vague german electronica that doesnt go anywhere or ever peak

not for me

Like ambient music from a 90's video game. Not something to sit and listen to unless you like being bored out off your mind.

Sem graça demais.

wtf

Dated sounding

Noise, calm noise, but just noise

Tangerine Dream put me to sleep with this album. The opening to Phaedra sounds like white noise I might play in the background after shutting down for the night. Then we move into what sounds like background music for the dramatic moment of a sci fi film. I’m tapping out before my head hits my desk in the middle of the workday.

Lots of mellow. Maybe I just needed something a little more snappy this morning.

Klassisesti koulutettuja muusikkoja, uskoisin. Noh, jos se sopii tekosyyksi sille, ettei jaksa säveltää mitään.

Thank goodness Spotify only has part of the album. Every song feels like an intro to a song but then it’s the whole song

I didn't get anything out of this

It does not help at all that the only version I have access to is the two hour thirty five minute version on youtube music. ugh. ugh. ugh.

Poco relevante. Música relajante, sin ninguna excentricidad. No es un disco en absoluto imprescindible. Solo había 2 cortes (de 4) disponibles en Spotify

Odd

Once i encounter insomnia, i will remember this one exists

Too much dread for my liking

Wow. What a trip. Someone was on drugs when they made this. While I generally love albums that kind of tell a story... this is very... no

wtf is this

Mijn hemel, wat een verschrikkelijke zweefmuziek

"Leuk zeg! Ik heb allemaal apparaten en kabeltjes en samplers en vervormers en dan ga ik 2 uur en 35 minuten aan honderden knopjes draaien zodat er een deken van bliepjes en blopjes en suizende geluiden ontstaat! Ik ben zo baanbrekend! Ik ben een genie!" Nope, was maar slager geworden, of hondentrimmer, dan had de mensheid nog iets aan je inzet gehad, Tangarine Dream.

Nee.

Someone got a synthesiser for Christmas that year. This might make an okay film soundtrack, but this all sounds rather overblown to me and didn't really draw me in and make me want to listen closely.

No. No. No

This album can kiss my whole ass. It's not music, it's just electronic sounds. This isn't even pioneering... it's literally just sounds. I'd say that this is the equivalent of splattering paint on a canvas and hanging it up on a modern art museum and calling it art. 1/10.

"Dad, was that your album of the day?" "...I don't know" Seriously though, what the hell is this? It's not relaxing, nor exciting, nor remarkable to my ears in any way. When would you listen to this? Why would you listen to this? It's just there: a'bleepin' and a'bloopin' and occasionally making sounds that I've heard come out of my dryer. This seems like something for the snobby, avant garde crowd who will sneer at a normie like me for not appreciating it. They can have it.

Ah yes, the visionary songwriting of the Ford assembly line 1

Probably cutting edge in 70s but nothing there now.

Not sure what I just listened to, but maybe drugs would help?

So boring

I hated this a lot. Made me feel anxious. Just bad.

Nah. Starting off with a 17 minute electronic track isn't going to do it for me.

Not sure what that was.... Not for me Would not attempt again. 0

1 Beep beep boop boop beep beep boop boop. This is like Pink Floyd but if every song they wrote was like "On the Run". On the Run works within the confines of Dark Side. On the Run does not work for me as a 37 minute standalone album. I can see how this could could be majorly influential for the genre of electronica in the years ahead, but truthfully, it's never been a genre I've been particularly fond of. I feel like it just kinda stresses me out and like I need to be on some kind of drug to get it. I don't get this album, and it kind of stressed me out. Especially whatever that screeching noise was near the end of Phaedra... egh. Unrelated to my review, I learned Tangerine Dream did the scoring to Grand Theft Auto V and that stuff was pretty cool.

Style over substance. I was waiting over the whole album duration for something to happen... Anything. Instead, I was given the middle part of 'Echoes' by Pink Floyd, but without the essence or culmination in Gilmour and Wright's vocals. It feels like I'm massively missing a context to those songs, that would allow me to enjoy the melodies and noises without being too sceptical or unsure of what I'm listening to. This album is on the list probably because of its innovative approach and use of never before used equipment to generate music. But in my opinion, does it pass the test of time? No.

Random noises, may be good for a sound track, but not an album I'm expected to listen to.

Mum! I got a new synth! Listen to all the noises it can make!

Ai saatana! Paskuuden kuninkuusluokkaan aivan heittämällä ilman kahta ajatusta. Voi juma....

Ei pysty

Sadly, I can't choose zero.

nope

Eh. Ambient music has it's place but it's not for me.

Yeah, props for using Moog stuff innovatively, but I’ve never been into ambient music, much less proto-ambient music.

Ambient Noise... but bad...

Ugh - was never interested in these guys. If this is their best work, then good luck to their legions of fans. I need beat and a melody in order to elevate music above being wallpaper

Nonsense

Ambient

Boring

just instrumental

What a week, two albums that I can't find on apple music. All of their discography is there except this one.

I'm still not particularly a fan of electronic albums with no semblance of melodies. It really isn't contemporary music in any form and I'm afraid that's not for me.

Oh goodie, another one for the rubbish bin! I can't stand this experimental electronic crap.

Too weird for me.

boring

1/5 not at all

Nope

bunu bir daha dinlemek yerine kendimi camdan asagi atmayi tercih ederim

Not feeling this at all, think it needs a certain headspace and I ain't there. 1/5

Fad. Furchtbar langweilige sphärische Klänge

I did not like this.

This was a turd. No matter how experimental of groundbreaking, it is shit.

sum kinda bullshid

yea, this was pretty bad

Wasn't terrible to listen to, but really isn't music either? Just 40 minutes of nice noises. At one point there was a quick bit of upbeat music that had me excited for a change of pace but turns out that it was a YouTube ad... Best part of the experience.

Not into it

Um álbum demasiado longo e com cada música muito repetitiva, parece a trilha sonora de um filme, senti sempre uma tensão que fazia lembrar me o ambiente do The Thing. No geral para quem gosta do genero deve ser bom, mas para mim é um 2 de 10. Nota:2/10

Sounded like a jungle noises sleep machine. Had to turn it off.

It's difficult to comment on something that sent me to sleep on the first track. This album is very relaxing, even when you don't really want to relax. Forced relaxation is quite annoying.

great for falling asleep

weird

Bruh

What. A short instrumental synth album.

Juste trop space et minimaliste pour moi. Je comprends qu'en 1975 les synths c'étaient malade, mais là c'est trop.

self indulgent pish

i mean we all already know why this album is deeply sentimental to me
