Tangerine Dream Reims Cathedral 1974/Mannheim 1976 official bootleg vol 1 box set. My final summation after multiple listenings is this set is very disappointing. The Esoteric label has done high quality TD projects before, but this box is kind of cheap on a physical level. The recordings are typical bootleg quality. They are audience recordings, hence lo-fi, flat, tinny, etc. Why does every bootleg have some German guy talking to his friends? And somebody's always having a coughing fit. I mean who coughs that much? I bet it was one guy who did it to sabotage all illegal recordings. The music itself, though occasionally having some nice sounds, is very improvisational aka noodling. For diehard fans only.
