Notes

Tangerine Dream's 1999 original motion picture soundtrack fits into the series started with Canyon Dreams (1987) and continued with Oasis (1997): TD did the music for a video which features one certain subject, here the collapsing of buildings. What A Blast features nine tracks which are quite different in style and mood. The CD title and the movie subject may make expect bombastic or at least very rhythmic music, but in fact all of the compositions are quiet sensitive. The opening tracks are rather tranquil and melodic, a little bit like the previously unreleased compositions on Edgar Froese's solo album Beyond The Storm. The middle tracks feature some totally new elements combined with structures and little patterns like taken from older times. The last tracks of the CD remind on The Dream Mixes and TimeSquare. Two of them, TimeSquare and Jungle Journey, are indeed new remixes of tracks from the albums TimeSquare (1997) and Turn Of The Tides (1994).

The cover artwork of the TDI release does not refer to the film subject directly. The design fits into the graphic and computer art style of covers TD has started with the release on their own label TDI.

The US based Miramar company released the soundtrack titled Architecture In Motion with a totally different cover artwork and without the opening composition Stoneyard.

Re-Releases

In March 2009 the album was re-released with different cover design as part of an extensive digipack series (consisting of a total of more than 60 CD and DVD releases) by the Germany based Membran record label.
