Seven CD clamshell boxed set featuring a selection of recordings made at five concerts recorded between November 1976 and June 1983 by different incarnations of the sonic pioneers. The first two concerts recorded in Nottingham in November 1976 and Washington in April 1977 feature the legendary line-up of Edgar Froese, Chris Franke and Peter Baumann. The latter concert was broadcast live on FM radio as part of a US Tour that spawned the live album 'Encore'. The 1978 concert in Hamburg featured a short-lived line-up which featured Froese and Franke joined by vocalist and flautist Steve Jolliffe and drummer Klaus Krieger. The concert at Newcastle City Hall in October 1981 was part of the tour to promote the album 'Exit' and featured the trio of Edgar Froese, Chris Franke and Johannes Schmoelling. In 1983 this line-up performed a memorial concert in Frankfurt for the German film director Rainer Fassbinder who had passed away the previous year. The nature of Tangerine Dream's music meant that improvisation was a key factor in their live performances, making each performance unique. This makes these recordings so fascinating.

Sixty years into a career that began with Fairport Convention and has spanned decades as one of rock's most acclaimed singer-songwriters, Richard Thompson is still chasing surprise. On Hippies, Thugs and Heroes, he let's his subconscious take the wheel, pulling from a cast of old friends, false gurus, former selves, and invented characters who insisted on having their stories told.The result is an album that refuses to sit still. It opens with the bright, Byrds-inspired jangle of InchThe Sorcerer's ApprenticeInch - a song rooted in Thompson's own history with 1970s spiritual movements and the complicated pull of charismatic leaders - before swinging into the rowdy InchEverybody's StealingInch and landing on the bluesy closer InchStringer.Inch Along the way, InchCocaine Walking, Booze TalkingInch delivers some of his most inventive guitar work yet, a raw-nerve build into a splintered, psychedelic solo that captures a hardscrabble cast of London strivers and connivers.Recorded live with his longtime band - Taras Prodaniuk on bass, Michael Jerome on drums, David Mansfield on guitar and fiddle, and wife Zara Phillips on backing vocals - at Hobosound Studio in Weehawken, NJ, the sessions moved fast, often in just two to four takes. But the songwriting itself runs deep more elaborate home demos gave Thompson's own musical identity a stronger hold on the final record, resulting in an album he describes as Inchless them and more me.InchWhat emerges is a spiritual inquiry disguised as a rock record - a meditation on the towers we build and the ruin that follows when we invest in them too completely. Thompson doesn't fully understand every song here, and that's exactly the point. Hippies, Thugs and Heroes is proof that after sixty years, the joy of not knowing where a song will take you hasn't faded one bit.
