This is a perfect example of why the 70’s were the golden era for music. People and bands were open to anything, it was an era of exploration and open minds. And it was exciting as hell. Today? ugh……..
Happy Birthday Edgar Froese (June 6) Alpha Centauri, Zeit, Phaedra, and Rubycon are cosmic classics. Atem is my favorite. TD's weirdest and wildest album.
I'm very intrigued by how it's a different remix of Atem... you hear certain things clearer and also no explosion, the tumult fades out so you hear the cosmic organ sooner.
It would have been nice to see who was playing those beastly tribal drums on this live version. That part always got my adrenaline pumped. Very rare for a TD song to have that kind of effect. Makes me wonder if they ever did Wahn live. Imagine how that performance would have looked like!!! No TV station would allow them to recreate the crazy vocal parts I'm sure of that.
@@daveinma1107 I just wonder why Chris didn't bother to play the drums live and just have them pre-recorded on tape over the performance. I would have loved to see him thrashing away with such tribal intensity.
@@lotusglobe2671 Chris Franke was the real leader of TD those days, he bought the first EMS synth visible here, also led TD to radical abstract music. He also invited Baumann to join. Froese was the constant figure but he wasn`t the musical leader. He was into avant rock and Pink Floyd more.
Very interesting to hear a different, pre-release mix of this piece! Instead of reaching the climax with the explosion, the chaos fades into the distance leaving the organs. Mix levels of the various instruments and EQ is very different, yet you can tell it's the same source material :)
Totally Agree Man !! The Video and the mix are completely new to me - there is I am sure alot of material still out there that will find it's way to the Devoted Dream Heads
Apparently there is on the cards a recording from when Edgar and TD were involved with the Cosmic Jokers sessions... Edgar did say he'd be okay with some things being released after his death so presumably this is one of them!
not to be a drag, but this is not live, but mimed to a pre-recording of "Atem". it seems like it's a slightly different or early mix tho from what's on the LP

I purchased the album Atem around 1974 and must admit, I hated it. I loved everything from Phaedra onwards. This sounds different to the original album and is very enjoyable.
W0W!! This is too cool!!! Never seen it before!!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!!

I wish the TV stations would all check their archives for stuff like this.
Atem was the first piece of music I listened to when I first took a tab of acid, around 1980.
Lol. That must have been a pretty wild trip !
The visual effects for 1973 are quite striking
What a true rarity! Super! Thank you for sharing such a gem!
Tangerine Dream... WOW..... this is rare.... what a treat...
❤❤❤Huuuge TD fan for more than 40 years now. Love this. Thanks for posting. Greetings Dirk Belgium
Wow, amazing, had not known this even existed, fantastic!
Just fantastic.....
Good job they kept the lights on in the studio.
Happy Birthday Edgar Froese (June 6)

great to see that Tangerine Dream were miming to recordings even in 1973 :-D

Great to see how assholes never realise that they are assholes.
@@samuelpenn2973 Right back at ye!
@@samuelpenn2973 fuck off you humourless berk
Swietne wykonanie.
My god what Psychedelic master piece
Мистически красиво ❤
This is the Tangerine Dream, what I know and love. What i grow up to. Really, like we used to called then "avantgarde"
Amazing kind of blew these guys off but love the early works
Yes the early albums are definitely the best

Chris Franke was the drummer, but the drums were on tape.

a classic masterpiece
"Fast and bulbous!"
"That`s right, The Mascara Snake, fast and bulbous! Also a tin

Shockingly good!
Wow!

nothing to do with EDGAR's estate. ALERT the lost album from 1973 will follow one day
Great! I'm wondering what state it will arrive in, given how much of Green Desert is from 1984 and not 1973.
Yeah, as in ALL of it :-)
Ohhhh ho ho - Mindmelt ! A-ciiiiiiid !!
schöne Sache, klingt fast wie das Original von Platte, ich dachte immer, dass ein Schlagzeuger spielt.
Amazing !
Sounds cosmic and tribal but also has this positive movement entwined...then turns into a rush of disorder,,,then suddenly a great calm...
never heard of T.D until '77 in Graf,W.Germany. then Heldon and Kraftwerk also joined the TRIP.
@Spotlight Music Show - The correct title is "Atem", not "Artem"!!
German ambient, goth, dark, electronic - before they was ♫♫♫
Froese und Baumann,1973!!!!!!!
Wow...
Epic!
Yip never seen this one. In true style this listing contains the obligatory typo! ATEM not Artem ?
not to be a drag, but this is not live, but mimed to a pre-recording of "Atem". it seems like it's a slightly different or early mix tho from what's on the LP
Poland Loves TD !
Got to be listened to on good headphones or speakers in the dark on shrooms or 'cid.......
Dieser Track heißt "Atem", nicht "Artem".
So they used Farfisas on Atem!
Sure did! Mellotron and Synthi A as well!
the video is a live performance that TD did in 1972 - with a slightly different version of ATEM overdubbed in 1973
Most of the keyboard work in TD from 1969 onwards was Farfisa - this continued well into the mid 1970s
Chris Franke was the real leader of TD those days who who bought the first EMS synth visible here, also led TD to radical abstract music. He also invited Baumann to join. Froese was the constant figure but he wasn`t the musical leader. He was into avant rock and Pink Floyd more.
I purchased the album Atem around 1974 and must admit, I hated it. I loved everything from Phaedra onwards. This sounds different to the original album and is very enjoyable.
Actually, I loved everything from Zeit.
I'm pretty sure that Klaus Schulze on two of those machines.
Schulze is not in the video, but he used Farfisa Organs and the EMS, too.
Klaus left TD in 1970
Klaus was only in TD from 1969-1970 (a total of nine months), plus around one week in 1973 for a French tour
Edgar froese apparently said that he and Chris franke would save their money for new and better instruments where as peter used to blow all his!!
Peter's $18,000 custom built modular might indicate something else - although there's always been a rumour that he didn't pay for it
this song has similarities to Pink Floyd's A Saucerful Of Secrets^^
Pink Floyd meets Berlin School.
@@dragomiruzelac2227 no wonder as they all liked Pink Floyd^^
good
Atem!
It's Atem, means breath
'Artem@ - ha ha!
incorrect spelling, but the correct German pronunciation
got alfa centaury / athem vinyl
