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.

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.

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

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’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. 😬

Ricochet is an absolute masterpiece and you really did it justice, got mad chills from this.

Richocet1 is possibly the most amazing sequencing I ever heard: emulating it is a zenith of achievement.

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.

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..!!! 🤩

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! ❤️🇵🇱

Tan' Dream has created many gems...saw them 35 years ago and still think about it ! WHAT A SHOW !

Excellent cover whit great sound 👍 Edgar Froese applauds from the sky 💫

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

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.

wow what a brilliant cover of one of the most brilliant musicpeaces of all times

"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.

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!

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

The CGI effect in the middle of the video is incredible and made the music even more valuable.

That intro. Never gets tired. Lovely to hear a different version. Cheers

I must have listened to Ricochet fifty times when I was a teenager in the 80s. This is just as good.

An extraoridnary cover, helping me to forget this days of quarantine in this strange times we are living now. Thanks for your music.

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 .

Incredible cover!

Your cover is very good. Great sound and essence of the original is excellently captured. Keep on going!

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

A TD classic given a fresh, modern feel yet still faithful to the original - fantastic job - keep up the great work!

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.

Absolute quality Pat,your ear for detail and replication is ridiculous mate....fantastic job...PS cheers for letting me loose on the mastering :)

Ive never stopped listening to his version of 'love on a real train' it's sublime...state azure rocks...

Don’t understand the people who ‘unliked’ this. All your tunes are gems. Keep up the good work!

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.

This is really excellent. It has a slight flavour of the 21st Century which makes it very appealing.

wow, wow, and wow again! thank you for this...TD fan since I was a kid :)

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

Wow, What a cover! It's excellent, thank you very much for sharing your great work.

1 of the best tunes by tangerine dream! state azure knows it! the early td sound is unique!

This is absolutely wonderful. Keep spreading your light

LOVE THE WAY THE LIGHTS UP ON THE KEYBOARDS SHINE AND ALL GOS WELL WITH THE SOUND :)

As always. You did a great job. Keep up the good work. I love it.

Incredible performance!! unbelievable . thank you for this beautiful music!

amazing work i hope to see more from you

Love this! One of their classics for sure and nice take on it. Thanks :)

Fantastic work, I thank you very much for your great efforts. A wonderful rendition. Cheers !!!

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.

What can I say ricochet all in one go ,I can't fault it ,a pleasure to listen to ,well done ,nice.

You seriously make the BEST Tangerine Dream covers on KZfaq; and YT is HUGE. Massive congratulations mate! Plus, you show and share your work & creation as you go through your process! RARE!

The only thing missing is the crowd. You absolutely captured the feel. Brilliant

It's awesome! Listening to this new arrangement creation is so good! Congratulations

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.

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

Superb. Fantastic job. I'm a TD follower going back to the late 70s.

Uno dei più bei brani della musica Fra l' altro album bellissimo

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!

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.

Wow! Well done man. It's funny, I JUST listened to that album this morning. Great job.

There's a tear in my eye.

Brilliant!

What an amazing journey!

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

Simply brilliant

Your covers are really awesome. Love it. More and more❤❤

Woah, seriously dude ...this is amazing 🍄

Today I was working with my computer, writting some documents while listenning to this music, played in a KZfaq Mix containing some of my favourite musicians' music, with the KZfaq 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 KZfaq 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!!!" 🙂

Simply excellent. Thank you

Brilliant work - thankyou

Best Cover of TD´s classic.: The sequence almost impossible get spot on.

Absolutely excellent ✌️🙏😀

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

1:42 holy shit that lush analog lead!! even the release tail harmonizes beautifully with its surroundings.

Beautiful, sublime. Edgar would be so proud that you’ve done his music justice.

Excellent piece!!!!

This is instantly one of my favorite songs, period.

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.

you felt better about the world of TD than today’s TD

Excellent !

Stupendous! I feel like I did when I heard this the first time. Right now you're a genius!

Wonderful music. Brilliant!

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.

It realy doesn't get any better. Nuff said!

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.

Amazing!!! Keep up the outstanding work!!!! Love and light from Thailand 🇹🇭

Wonderful music, awesome

Beautiful music 🎶 love it. It makes day feal good.

Beautiful

Superb work!

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 sir for your wonderful music

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 homage! Maestro!

Super gut gemacht. Greetings from Germany

Excellent version, all the parts come together perfectly.

I missed this one. OUTSTANDING!!

Bravo! You perfectly recreate one of my favorite tunes from TD !!

Great work - I loved the original and this too!

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.

Wow!! You have done it again!!! Really enjoyed it!!! Well done 👍

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.)

This was the first album I brought when I had hair, and still love this band.

Perfect Recall of a sublime Mo-nu-ment of TD Inspiration...
