TANGERINE DREAM, the world's premier synthesizer group, will be playing at London's Royal Albert Hall next month. And the Melody Maker this week offers readers in the provinces a special 25 per cent discount on ticket prices!

The concert, on April 2, will be the band's early British appearance this year. And because the show is in London, the MM – in conjunction with Virgin Records – is giving provincial fans of the band a chance to see the concert at reduced price.

Tickets, available from branchers of Virgin Records, will cost 50p, 80p, £1.25 and £1.50 BUT ticket-buyers who go into a Virgin shop carrying a copy of the MM will be able to claim the 25 per cent discount.

This offer applies to Virgin shops in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Coventry, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Plymouth, Sheffield and Swansea.

The concert will be Tangerine Dream’s first major British concert – and it will be the first time full quadraphonic sound has been used at the Royal Albert Hall.

The band’s new album, “Rubycon,” is released on March 21 as a prelude to the concert.

They toured Britain in November 1974, but due to their world commitments the Albert Hall concert will be their only show in this country until next year. Tangerine Dream are about to embark on a brief series of concerts in Australia and New Zealand, to be followed – in May – by their first American tour.

And in summer the band will be recording the soundtrack for Friedkin’s next movie. Friedkin was the director responsible for the The Exorcist and The French Connection.

MELODY MAKER, MARCH 8, 1975.

The Ones 1966

Recently, on the sunny coast of Spain, ”the ones” were the surreal background in an American film about the painter, Salvador Dalí. Once returned to the home town Berlin, they surprised their manager Hans-Joachim Kujehl with an honest, but not very everyday-like idea: In the settings of a charity arrangement, they were about to deliver a sweaty beat for a young audience, and then give up their fees. That should be turned into usefull stuff, for the benefit of orphaned kids, expecting to take a stroll with them in a department store. *) At the end of August,”the ones” will follow the good idea with the good deed. With effective advertising, the spry manager succeeded in making the event tasty for television, as well. At least they had sent a camera crew that, oddly enough, didn’t have an eye on the nymphs wearing their ultra short miniskirts, but rather saw the profit in focusing on the sweaty singer. Although he rewarded the female teenagers with his voice, he did not have the right ear for the difficulties of the sound technician, whom after the second test, still implored him to sing more quietly. Comment: “Then you won’t get into the mood, at all!” Apart from this technically defined, atmospheric interuption, a festive vibe reigned in the ‘Haus der Jugend’
