The Hollywood Years, Volume 2

The material on this CD consists of previously unreleased material with the exceptions of City Monk, that is featured as Ulan-Ude on the soundtrack album Transsiberia, and Token From Birdland which appears in a heavily remixed version under the same title on Ambient Monkeys. The track Riding The Lizard Overland is actually the end titles of the film Red Heat from 1986. The soundtrack of this film has never been released, though in summer 1997 TD had announced to release it in early 1998 on their own TDI label. With Rose Of Babylon, this album features one of the few Tangerine Dream vocal tracks. The lyrics have been written and sung by Vicki McClure, known as the singer of the Olympic Summer Games hymn in Los Angeles. In 1998 there had been rumours about a full-length album release of Vicki McClure on TD's label TDI. (www.voices-in-the-net.de)
