Year 195 ( CXCV) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Scrapula and Clemens (or, less frequently, year 948 '' Ab urbe condita''). The denomination 195 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Legend (Tangerine Dream Soundtrack)
''Legend'' is the twenty-eighth major release and the eighth soundtrack album by the German band Tangerine Dream. It was released in 1986 for the North American theatrical version of the film ''Legend''. It was released in the USA and Canada only. The film was written by William Hjortsberg, starred Tom Cruise, Mia Sara and Tim Curry, was produced by Arnon Milchan, directed by Ridley Scott and released domestically by Universal Studios. The album was released on compact disc on 15 August 1995 through Varese Sarabande. Background After a disappointing test screening with Jerry Goldsmith's original orchestral score, Scott decided to make changes to the film. Sidney Sheinberg, president of MCA (the parent company of Universal at the time), felt that the Goldsmith score would not appeal to the youth and pressed Scott for a new score. Tangerine Dream was contracted to complete a new, more contemporary score—-a job they completed in three weeks. Until 2002, only European audiences ...

Le Parc (album)
''Le Parc'' (1985) is the twenty-sixth major release and fourteenth studio album to be recorded by electronic artists Tangerine Dream. Each track on the album is inspired by parks from around the world. ''Le Parc'' marked Tangerine Dream's last studio release with Johannes Schmoelling, who left the band in October 1985. The title track "Le Parc" was used as the theme for the short-lived U.S television series, ''Street Hawk''. A video was produced for "Tiergarten". The track "Central Park" was used as the opening theme for the movie ''Diamond Ninja Force'' directed by Godfrey Ho. According to Dave Connolly of ''AllMusic'', ''Le Parc'' is in essence a series of "musical postcards" from major parks of the world that focus on the mood of these places rather than their geographical qualities. Its tracks are shorter and more lyrical than the band's earlier works. Connolly said ''Le Parc'' "operates on a superficial level", which might be "slightly distasteful" to some long-time fans.

Poland (album)
''Poland - The Warsaw Concert '' is the twenty-fourth major release and fifth live album by Tangerine Dream. It spent one week on the UK Albums Chart at number 90. Track listing "Tangent" contains a hidden track at the end, an encore titled "Rare Bird", which is not listed on the sleeve of any of the original 1984 issues. On some CD reissues, it is separated and listed as its own track. The four tracks consist of 3-4 distinct sections each. The third of the four sections of "Tangent" is titled "Polish Dance" (which is notably similar to the composition "Choronzon" from ''Exit'', played backwards). The second section of "Barbakane" is titled "Warsaw in the Sun", which was remixed and released as a single, with "Polish Dance" unaltered on the b-side. "Barbakane" was shortened to 13:52 on most CD reissues, in order to fit the 80-minute time restraint of the CD, and to avoid having to issue a double disc version. Out of twelve CD releases, only three issues have the complete alb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thief (soundtrack)
''Thief'' (1981) is the fifteenth major release and second soundtrack album by Tangerine Dream. It is the soundtrack for the 1981 American neo-noir crime film ''Thief'', directed by Michael Mann. It reached No. 43 on the UK Albums Chart in a 3-week run. "Beach Theme" and "Beach Scene" are two different mixes of the same piece. The album version of "Dr. Destructo" is quite different from the film version. An extended version of "Dr. Destructo" was available only on a promo single. "Igneous" is a remix of "Thru Metamorphic Rocks" from the 1979 album ''Force Majeure''. Neither "Beach Theme" nor "Trap Feeling" appear in the film. After Tangerine Dream completed the soundtrack, Mann needed another sequence. As Tangerine Dream was on tour, Craig Safan composed and performed "Confrontation". The original 1981 Elektra LP released in the U.S. featured "Confrontation", but subsequent releases featured "Beach Scene" instead. During the 1980s, Toronto television station CITY-DT used "Scra ...

Loom (German Band)
A loom is a device used to weave cloth and tapestry. The basic purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads. The precise shape of the loom and its mechanics may vary, but the basic function is the same. Etymology and usage The word "loom" derives from the Old English ''geloma'', formed from ''ge-'' (perfective prefix) and ''loma'', a root of unknown origin; the whole word ''geloma'' meant a utensil, tool, or machine of any kind. In 1404 "lome" was used to mean a machine to enable weaving thread into cloth. By 1838 "loom" had gained the additional meaning of a machine for interlacing thread. Components and actions Basic structure Weaving is done on two sets of threads or yarns, which cross one another. The warp threads are the ones stretched on the loom (from the Proto-Indo-European *'' werp'', "to bend"). Each thread of the weft (i.e. "that which is woven") is inserted so that it passes over and under t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pergamon (album)
''Quichotte'' is the fourteenth major release and third live album by Tangerine Dream released in 1981. It was re-released in 1986 as ''Pergamon''. It is a selection from the two live concerts held on 31 January 1980 at the Palast der Republik in East Berlin. The second of the two original concerts is available as ''Tangerine Tree Volume 17: East Berlin 1980''.
