My cover/reinterpretation of Tangerine Dream's 'Ricochet', mostly a cover of part 2 with some improvised and live performed parts. Created with a combination of software and hardware. This was a tough one to figure out, due to the complexity of the sequences and the live played feel to it, which I tried to capture with my own live performance and improvisation. Hope you enjoy it, feedback is welcome!

This is an amazing cover. I think that some people are missing the small fact that by covering this they are keeping the original sound and feel of TD alive. Considering the path the band has taken in recent years I welcome the covers that State Azure has done, and hope that they continue to be inspired by the early works of TD and create new original works in the same spirit. In no way will these covers replace the originals, but like a newborn artist learning to play Mozart before going on to make their own contribution to the world, we must celebrate this effort to introduce TD to a new generation who can by hooked by State Azure, and then go back to the originals, and then load their musical library in both directions to make a fulfilled collection of awesome ear candy.
To the haters : Edgar Froese is dead. We need to pass on his legacy along with the respect to the remaining original members and those who have lit their torches from the fire of the people who have brought us such amazing music since 1967. We need this music , and music like it, in the future. We owe it to those who will come later looking for this sound the way we did : with discovery and awe.
Well said, thank you! I definitely plan to do more TD covers in the future.
I couldn't agree with you more. A really balanced view point. State Azure has done a beautiful cover TD for us older ones to enjoy again (I was born in 1950) and absolutely love Psy-Trance music. State Azure and Dreamstate Logic are right at the top of my choices.
I wore out my 1975 vinyl eventually. When I got married in 1977 my new wife and I sat up all night listening to this on my Transcriptors Reference turntable. Both she and Edgar are together now on the great cosmic journey. Thank you so much for this wonderful rendition of the most beautiful piece of music ever composed.
Loved this in the 80's when I discovered it, the 90's during tough times, 00's as I was settling into life, 10's as I was hitting a peak and now in the 20's as I face a slow inevitable decline...thank you
Thanks for listening!
Life’s odd like that, isn’t it? Yours rather mirrors mine, and TD has likewise kept me company. I’m doing my best to avoid that last bit! Good luck with your journey.
I’ve been a fan of Tangerine Dream since the early 70’s and this brings back memories of driving my wife crazy because I would play them over and over again. 😬
Edgar will be smiling at this masterpiece...what a talent....such complex sequences....amazing back in the day that Edgar, Christoph and Peter gave us these incredible sounds...way before DAW.......wish it was mid 1970s
I discovered TD in 1979 when I was 13 years old -- and I just loved it. Now I discovered your version -- and I love it even moooore..!!! 🤩
I had been aware of TD for some time and purchased my first album in 1983 when I was 17. I would lay in bed at night and listen to it: Logo LIve.
@@KonichiWawa Well, then we are the same age, though it seems that I was less innocent than you!! Because back then, while listen to it, I smoked happily my joints... ;))
The so beautiful vinyl sleeves and the beautiful green gradient sticker on the records were the start of the trip.
"Ninooo" And I discovered TD in 88 when I was the age of 9!!! Picture a child sitting in the passenger side of a vintage "1984 Jeep CJ-7 Laredo" with no hard top cover accelerated at the speed of (95mp-h) at 1:30am on a pitch black highway road with no cars in sight for miles! Now here comes the irony moment the TD track was "LIVEMILES" which was recorded at night live in Albuquerque Mexico and I was just mesmerized/hypnotized in the most deepest parts of my consciousness traveling to unknown places/worlds I swear to the fkn Universe I never experienced anything else like that in my entire being!. So I feel your statement!
@@skairdstr8 I see, even nine year old kids have this ability to transcend consciousness and to experience an unforgettable impression about their own inner cosmic space! So no doubt, we are trappet in this daily matrix. Let's conquer back our inner treasure of freedom! Thank you for your report. All the best to you, wherever you are!!
love Tangerine Dream and your covers. this music has kept me motivated through two periods of unemployed/working at shitty job periods of on and off endless job searching.
Some people say things will never change, but don't you believe them ..
Richocet1 is possibly the most amazing sequencing I ever heard: emulating it is a zenith of achievement.
What about 2?
He actually improved the original. I only like to listen to the originals and even one note deviation annoys me to no end usually. SA made all of TD songs better. Very impressive.
"State Azure" Your channel is the only one I have found that (in my opinion) actually cares to create a certain "magical essence/fabric" within the sound that is "Tangerine Dream!". I am in "Awe" of you Sir or Lady, and I sincerely Thank You for sharing all your mesmerizing musical compilations for all of us to get lost in and explore great adventures within our minds! I sometimes wonder if your kind truly knows how impactful your work of arts are.... because they evoke an energy/vibe of long lost memories and even possible future memories which reverberate our entire being!. I know I speak for many people who have the same thought's as mine and how I express them. Again Thank You for sharing your small piece of starlight with us.
Thanks so much!
Seen a comment saying no one should ever try to cover this absolute masterpiece from TD. Well, they are wrong. This cover captures the essence of the original. I agree, no one will ever produce a carbon copy of the original. Ricochet was conceived, written and recorded once, using the tech of the day, using unique sounds. It happened once. This cover is the only one that captures the essence, the sequences as near as possible by a new master. Brilliantly.
Ricochet is an absolute masterpiece and you really did it justice, got mad chills from this.
Did you know that this part was used in background of weather forecast in Polish TV in late 70's? This music started my journey in the electronic music, especially TD.
I LOVE IT! ❤️🇵🇱
I didn't know that! Thanks :)
Excellent cover whit great sound 👍 Edgar Froese applauds from the sky 💫
Thank you!
I have to leave a comment here as well .... first Richochet is one of my favorite early TD albums and State Azure nailed it again... Really appreciate your hard work ... Thank you
always amazes me how these synth players with all those dials buttons and controls remember what all the functions are. they must have quite simply amazing brains to do what they do.
The way you are able to figure out all those complex TD sequences and sounds is ... Amazing ! Sounds so much better than cassette tapes from back in the day ...I really enjoy watching ! Thanks for sharing .
Thank you! It's hard work and a slow process figuring out those sequences!
State Azure I appreciate your response and all I can ask is .... to keep up the hard work !
Don’t understand the people who ‘unliked’ this. All your tunes are gems. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Alex!
Kreuhn Kohrman , good comment I consider that covers are refreshing and remind one of the joy when I heard the original initially
It's perfectly understandable. Many people are tone-deaf joyless imbeciles.
@@polreamonn Hahahaha. It's so true. And it becomes more apparent, every day, just how many people there are like that. I have pieces of music that are sacred to me, and I cringe to think about people covering them, but I applaud when they have the balls to commit sacrilege. This sound amazing. Better than me daring to cover Lead A Normal Life by Gabriel or gosd help me, Marquee Moon by Television. I learned the whole album and recorded it on 4-track. I used up and recorded over the master before someone else could find it. So as long as State Azure doesn't try to cover Rubycon, we'll be cool. Man this is good.
I can never unlike this stuff. It gives me Eargasms.
Please cover Phaedra. You are a genius This has kept the soul of the original piece whilst even injecting new life into it. Thank you. Have listened over and over here in the mountains of Northern Portugal.
Tan' Dream has created many gems...saw them 35 years ago and still think about it ! WHAT A SHOW !
Very brave of you to attempt this - Chris Franke's tour de force of analogue sequencing - but you pulled it off! Fabulous! Ricochet and Rubicon are two of my all time favourite albums. Great job!
Thanks, Andrew really appreciate you taking a listen :)
or peter's
The CGI effect in the middle of the video is incredible and made the music even more valuable.
40 years back when I was doing my graduate studies; strange sensations; fantastic additional variations; moment of great foot; thank you for this trip in time
Thank you!
Moment of great foot? Huh lol that's some frenglish my friend 😁
Sublime. Your Tangerine Dream covers are pure gold. If you haven't covered anything from Hyperborea or Exit yet ....... I'll cast my vote here for anything from either. Many thanks for all these wonderful videos.
Thanks for listening :)
Exit is my favorite.
I would love to see Tangram. Still one of my favourites. Also Mojave, Logos. Even the old experimental Krautrock era ones: Zeit, Atem!
A TD classic given a fresh, modern feel yet still faithful to the original - fantastic job - keep up the great work!
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
wow what a brilliant cover of one of the most brilliant musicpeaces of all times
An extraoridnary cover, helping me to forget this days of quarantine in this strange times we are living now. Thanks for your music.
I must have listened to Ricochet fifty times when I was a teenager in the 80s. This is just as good.
O A RIGO TOVAR.
That is the second half of Ricochet. The beginning sounds like from Schubert, the following a bit like from J. S. Bach. Tangerine Dream are the masters of electronic music. No-one else comes close in the specific aesthetics, the range of sounds and the worldly imagination.
Ive never stopped listening to his version of 'love on a real train' it's sublime...state azure rocks...
You seriously make the BEST Tangerine Dream covers on UA-cam; and YT is HUGE. Massive congratulations mate! Plus, you show and share your work & creation as you go through your process! RARE!
Your cover is very good. Great sound and essence of the original is excellently captured. Keep on going!
Great to hear covers of tangerine dream I grew up listening to this type of music and always enjoyed electronic music since Isao Tomita kraftwerk are my favourites after tangerine dream
Looking forward to your next cover
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks a lot for the feedback!
add kitaro to the list
Absolute quality Pat,your ear for detail and replication is ridiculous mate....fantastic job...PS cheers for letting me loose on the mastering :)
Thanks mate!
Incredible cover!
Never heared such a brilliant cover of Ricochet before! White Eagle as well as Love on a Real Train are also awesome. Please more of TD covers, e.g. Yellowstone Park!
Thank you, Frans! You're the second person to ask about Yellowstone Park! I love that track myself, but I think it'll be hard to really do that one justice. There's a lot of samples in that track along with vocals that really make it unique and difficult to cover well, but I'll keep it in mind :) Thanks for the comment! More TD covers are in the works.
@@stateazure No problem, any work of you shall be brilliant! ;-)
Went high school between 76 to 80. Now i played clarinet and bass clarinet in junior high. And mother was a outstanding piano player. So i have a love all music. Our high school had one of the first Moog Synthesizers and i loved playing on it. Kinda wish i had the money to get into this type Synthesizering. Its so wonderful
Second only to Love on a real train as my favourite TD track. Very meditational. Best listened to late at night with only lit candle and a glass of wine. Another great cover.
Ha! Interesting, I usta meditate to Tangerine Dream years ago, very nice.
Love Tangerine Dream, but I wouldn't even know where to begin to recreate one of their songs..........
you have a God-given talent, my friend.
Not to mention the video creation skills too
The only thing missing is the crowd. You absolutely captured the feel. Brilliant
Awesome, thank you!
@@stateazure yeah Brilliant!!!
Agree!!
That intro. Never gets tired. Lovely to hear a different version. Cheers
LOVE THE WAY THE LIGHTS UP ON THE KEYBOARDS SHINE AND ALL GOS WELL WITH THE SOUND :)
wow, wow, and wow again! thank you for this...TD fan since I was a kid :)
Today I was working with my computer, writting some documents while listenning to this music, played in a UA-cam Mix containing some of my favourite musicians' music, with the UA-cam screen minimized (so I couldn't see the video, and was just listenning to the music). While this music was playing I said to myself "Tangerine Dream are really wonderfull!!!". At about 06:00, I decided to make a pause in my document work to maximize the UA-cam screen and see the images of the video. I then realised that it was you playing the music, and said to myself "Yeah, State Azure is really wonderful!!!" 🙂
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed this one 🙂
It's awesome! Listening to this new arrangement creation is so good! Congratulations
Glad you enjoy it!
I've loved the Tangs since Alpha Centauri and Atem and always thought they could never be covered. I'm so glad you proved me wrong, this was exquisite work, sorry it's taken me so long to find it and give you the praise that you deserve. Bravo.
Many thanks :)
This is really excellent. It has a slight flavour of the 21st Century which makes it very appealing.
Thank you!
Fan-tas-tic. Thank you for making this.I've no idea how long you've been doing this - I've just stumbled across you this morning.
I know how Ricochet was made - Yeah,I'm old enough to have been around,then - and your version focuses on the right side/part of the album. And you have more than done it justice.I just wish you would make an almost identical version, but 2 or 3 times longer.
I'm sure you know this,but not everyone here will : Ricochet was made from several parts of a late 1975 European tour.I was lucky enough to see them live - the 1st of 3 times - the following year,and this was very much just how they sounded,as I remember.
I kept that - treasured - ticket,until it was lost in our most recent house move,around 8 years ago,or I'd still have it,but the Album being so similar to the concert helped to always remember that particular concert,of many,the SPECTACULAR light/laser show,aside.
Tangerine Dream ,at the Glasgow Apollo, 1976 [I was 14 at the time ,and it was one of my first dozen or so concerts]. Magical days / magical memories.And all for the princley sum of 2.5 UK Pounds [that's no misprint - £2.50]. I wore the Tour T-shirt [also only £2.50],till it practically disintegrated. Shows how things have changed.
I've loved TD since '75, when I first heard "Sorcerer" ,"Rubycon" and "Richochet" - the birth of a whole new musical world for me, and I still think, their best ever work,especially the side of the Ricochet album that you focused on. After not having followed them for several years [last 5 - 6 or 7 years],I was deeply sadenned to ,just this last week,read of Edgar's passing.So,finding this gem is all the more special.I have no doubt,whatsoever,that he would be delighted by this fantastic rendition,and your obvious devotion,and fantastic skill and talent.
I can offer no higher compliment. I rarely comment,but this demanded it. Subscribed.
Thanks so much! I didn't discover TD until mid-Eighties myself, I had no idea this kind of music existed until a friend that I was at school with introduced me to Jarre. Shortly after that I discovered TD and instantly became a fan, but had to slowly play catch up with a lot of their music! And it all led to me getting very interested in synths and electronic music production. Anyway, I'm really happy you like my rendition. I still have more to come but they take time and effort, so I can't put them out too often.
I first got exposed to electronic music nearly 40 years ago. I was just starting high school, and Jean Michelle Jarre's Concerts in China and a couple of Tangerine Dream albums were my first introductions. Nearly 40 years later, though there is a lot of great stuff out there, there's still nothing quite like it.
WOW! I just fell in love with your Love On A Real Train cover which I've recently found, and now there's this 2.5 years later! Thank you and happy New Year :)
Thank you, sorry it took so long :) Happy New Year!
It is a great work of yours!
Everyone would have to acknowledge your achievement, they are interpretations of masterpieces - just like in classical music: The old masters are gone, their music lives on - and that's a good thing: in diverse interpretations.
This is how the current TANGERINE DREAM can be seen - creative musicians continue to pursue the ambitious goal: music, spherically floating, without limits.
Anyone who criticizes this has the right to do so, but limits himself!
I also enjoy all the TD (live) interpretations of the old classics ...
But what TQ & his team are now doing has what it takes to achieve further peaks ...
HANSEATIC HARBOUR LIGHTS is (for me) another TD masterpiece
Superb. Fantastic job. I'm a TD follower going back to the late 70s.
Great. One of my favourite TD albums. Takes me back to my teenage years in the 1970s.
Another fabulous cover I keep re-watching in amazement. Amazed because this is one very complicated poly-sequential track; very impressive work.. I believe this is probably the best TD cover I have heard. (Several of your others are superb too.)
Thanks, Andrew!
Attention, sentient machines... the Prime Directive.... *Mother Music must be given the honor and respect that is Her due* .
So let it be programmed. So let it be compiled and run.
This is absolutely wonderful. Keep spreading your light
There's a tear in my eye.
1 of the best tunes by tangerine dream! state azure knows it! the early td sound is unique!
I missed this one. OUTSTANDING!!
Thanks!
@@stateazure really like your Fortress!!
WOW!!!! Absolutely brilliant! My favourite TD album of all, so my first thought was "how can this be any good?" But it is better than good - it is wonderful! How on Earth you unravelled the compexity of those sequences I just don't know. Best thing I've found on UA-cam for ages. Thank you! And that ending section, after about 7.20 - beautiful.
Thank you, Andrew! Real happy that you liked it so much. For really difficult sequences I often time-stretch the audio and slow it down quite a bit to figure out the individual notes, but even then the notes can kind of blur together and make it tricky. It's a pretty slow process, but worth it I think!
@@stateazure You are the new TD genius!!! I wish I could get so good at electronic music production like you 🧡🧡
@@samitechdesign7836 Thank you!
You have made such a great peace of sound, well balanced and no overdose between de sounds...I LIKE IT VERRY MUTCH and PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK!!! THX
The first time I heard Tangerine Dream was precisely the Ricochet album in 1976, at the time there were other groups in the current known as German rock. Without a doubt, Ricochet for me was the maximum exponent, despite having been
Simply sumptuous.A pleasant discovery on the tube while for 2 days I have been trying to reconstruct unworthily my version of this masterpiece.You fully took the sounds and sensations of the 70s.Hi from Italy
Plugged in my Koss head set for this one, yes you were brave to attempt this TD/Chris Franke piece of sequencing master work, I think you made an excellent job of it though, it captures the essence of the TD classic, once again, many thanks.
This is near to the classic TD version, I realise Ricochet is difficult to emulate, but you've done an amazing alternative. The original TD version is renowned for its sequencing complexity, but you've done an amazing job of capturing that complexity, many thanks,.
Thank you, Rob. I spent a lot of time trying to get the sequencing correct!
@@stateazure You are welcome, your a great keyboardist and have a superb understanding of the Berlin school (E. Froese) sound. Can't stop listening to your rendition of 'Love On A Real Train'.
1:42 holy shit that lush analog lead!! even the release tail harmonizes beautifully with its surroundings.
This was the first album I brought when I had hair, and still love this band.
The hair is gone, but the love remains ...
I still have my hair.
Excellent !
What can I say ricochet all in one go ,I can't fault it ,a pleasure to listen to ,well done ,nice.
Electronic music that sounds human. Orchestrated genius.
I've heard a number of TD covers over the years, and yours are consistently the best. Bravo! This one gave me goosebumps :)
Thanks very much! I did my best :)
Perfect Recall of a sublime Mo-nu-ment of TD Inspiration...
Wow, What a cover! It's excellent, thank you very much for sharing your great work.
Best Cover of TD´s classic.: The sequence almost impossible get spot on.
Thank you!!
Been with you for so long. I bought your Fragile album (still have it and many more). Close my eyes, or wide open,don’t need a drug, and I’m FLYING with you.
Wooohooo!!! What a ride!
Woah, seriously dude ...this is amazing 🍄
When Ricochet came out in 1975 I belive it was so ahead of its time, but this wow amazing....im in the zone right now.
Nice gear and fabulous cover of a true Tangerine Dream classic. Ricochet is one of my favorites. I'm personally working on a Rubycon cover. Most of my synths are software VST and a Casio CT-X keyboard.
I do have respect for the way you handle those Original compositions by Tangerine dream one of my favorite Electronic music Bands , i try to create some tracks as well with in mind their quality of electronic composing.
Wow! Well done man. It's funny, I JUST listened to that album this morning. Great job.
Cheers man!
It realy doesn't get any better. Nuff said!
This is cover one my all time favorites by Tangerine Dream.
You’re WAY MORE WORTHY of having the CROWN of “Tangerine Dream” then who ever is steering the Ship now
(THEY are missing what YOU have my friend, VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!!)
Haha, thanks man..but they have Ulrich Schnauss who is a perfect fit for them imo. I'm a big fan of Ulrich, and what I've heard so far is impressive, though I expect I'll always prefer TD's older music.
State Azure I understand Edgar wanting TD to “continue”, (and he is REALLY GOOD.... it’s not TD though, maybe it’s not supposed to BE.
Upon HEARING the New Phase Of TD, I wouldn’t recognize it as TD.
NOW YOU!!!! LOL!!!!
(You bring A SOUL to “Electronica”)
HUGE FAN of ALL your stuff
(NEW subscriber ... the Modular Stuff is STUNNING!!!!!! )
Check out the Roli Seaboard Controller BTW

Thorsten is brilliant! Ever since he joined TD in 2005, whenever a new TD album was announced, my first question would be "how much involvement does Thorsten have in this one?" and the more he was involved, the more excited I'd get. He's also turning TD back into the TD I fell in love with. The Sessions albums are truly phenomenal, and Thorsten is a very worthy successor to Edgar. In fact, I think of the two, Thorsten is the better composer.
You did a good job in "distilling" the essence of Ricochet (Part 2, as it sounds) into a more concentrated cover! Maybe you could bring more of your own interpretation if future TD covers, could be interesting.
Very good this version of Ricochet2 !!! Congratulations!
For me, one of the best in Tangerine Dream. Greetings.
Molt bona aquesta versió de Ricochet2!!! Felicitats!
Per a mi, una de les millors de Tangerine Dream. Salutacions.
Love this! One of their classics for sure and nice take on it. Thanks :)
TD Number one as always. The more i listen the more i love. Thanks for creating this masterpiece. you are the greatest. keep up the good work.
I used to listen to TD Ricochet while learning to program on my 8088 XT back in 1987, 32 years later I'm doing the very same thing. On a 64 bit monster with more memory than the entire planet had in the 1960's. And of course instead of a 8 track tape, I'm having the computer play the music while I write my software. The TD future is NOW.
amazing work i hope to see more from you
Beautiful, sublime. Edgar would be so proud that you’ve done his music justice.
That guys voice is unbelievable. Very dark and itchy.
This is instantly one of my favorite songs, period.
THE IS PURE EXELLENCE. FOUND THE LOVE FOR THE MUSIC AFTER WATCHING THIEF. A MICHEAL MANN FILM. BIGG, BIGG FAN. ✌️
Amazing!!! Keep up the outstanding work!!!! Love and light from Thailand 🇹🇭
Brilliant!
Beautiful music 🎶 love it. It makes day feal good.
What an amazing journey!
Amazing. As a long time Tangerine Dream fan I can say this is pretty darn good. Amazes me to think what would take racks of modulars, reel to reel tape machines and a room full of equipment and three men to do in 1973 can be done in a small bedroom studio in 2019. Very good
Honestly, I like your TD covers more than the original. I have never been a fan of TD. But you made me enjoy your interpretation of their music.
Wow!! You have done it again!!! Really enjoyed it!!! Well done 👍
Thank you PM!
