The rhythmic pulsations and arpeggios build up without fully locking into a beat pattern, and after it feels like the band is pausing to avoid the risk of burnout, wisps of synth and violin textures begin to seep in, and the track momentarily returns to full bloom.

'Raum' is the album's other epic, and it's somewhere in between '90s ambient techno and space rock, with lush synth pads accompanied by distorted leads that come close to sounding like soaring guitars. 'Along the Canal' is filled with jittery arpeggios and flute-like synth trails, and like the band's mid-'70s work, it feels like it's being shaped by human hands in real time rather than meticulously programmed. While moments like this are a thrilling blend of old and new, one of the record's best tracks is much more in line with vintage Tangerine Dream. The horizon clears for a stunning burst of light, which gives way to the album's sweetest, most hopeful melodies. Raum's centerpiece is the 19-minute 'In 256 Zeichen.' Following a nebulous intro, Yamane's mesmerizing violin loops emerge, and they become swept away in a current of percolating synths and intricate beats. Notably absent is Ulrich Schnauss, who joined the band in 2014, yet curiously enough, the album often sounds more like his own work than Tangerine Dream's - glimmering opener 'Continuum' and the downtempo crawl 'You're Always on Time' are both easy to mistake for Schnauss, or contemporaries such as Tycho.

For this recording, Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane, and recent addition Paul Frick (of Brandt Brauer Frick) were given access to Froese's archive of Cubase arrangements and tape recordings dating back to the 1970s, so like their previous studio album, 2017's Quantum Gate, he's still present in spirit. The artist, once torn apart by the media, doesn’t have the same luxury.Because many critics are quite cynical, here a word from Oscar Wilde: “A cynical critic is one who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”By the way, some time next year a documentary will be released featuring some of the most bizarre statements that the media has expressed about TD.Raum is Tangerine Dream's second studio full-length since founder Edgar Froese died in 2015, though the group has additionally released several live albums and EPs. There’s one thing a critic should always keep in mind: “If there is any real doubt as to whether or not an artist has delivered a true piece of work, it is better to vote for than against him why ? As a writer, you always have a second chance to correct yourself.

A writers has an orgasm for 20 bucks per line – at the most. The way we hate critics for that gives them some inexplicable satisfaction. Very often some frustrated individual tries to save his artistic and philosophical integrity by tearing up a rock act or a theatre premiere with a pen. It’s best not to forget one important factor: they’ve gotten through one of the most uncomfortable experiences in life, the lack of acknowledgement in their own efforts to become a successful artist. Most critics come from the same background they now criticise. Is that odd? But one should never forget about the way most critics were before becoming critics. Unfortunately, in the public eye, the positive side of something isn’t half as interesting than dirtying someone’s reputations. Yes, definitely not everything that’s been written about us is crap and I’ve never claimed that it was.
