So many great German bands in the seventies - TD, Neu!, Cluster, Kraftwerk, Can, Ashra Tempel, Guru Guru ... the list goes on.

Can you recommend a good album to start with?
I was a big fan of Jean Michel Jarre back in the 80s and I seem to have missed Tangerine Dream.

They are not a group I listened to a lot. I actually liked the instruments and arrangements they used in the previously linked video better than the originals. That being said,
- If you like early Pink Floyd 'ballad albums' check out Stratosfear.
- Other than that, just pick an album on YouTube and start listening.
- I had what I believe was a compilation album called 'Tangerine Dream' that I liked a lot of songs on. I don't quickly see it with a google, but it did bring up this, which is keeping me listening.
Others will have better suggestions. The first album I believe I got was Tyger. Played the title song repeatedly for awhile.

Thanks
Tyger is great - William Blake is one of my favourite poets, so it's great to hear his poetry put to music.

I never heard of Tangerine Dream, but they remind me of Kraftwerk. I guess that must be a European Thing.

No, as a language implies keywords and grammer/syntax. Headless clucking is more akin to the language of politicians than of sailors.

Imagine using the same processes to build a doll house that the architects and builders of skyscrapers use.
On the other hand imagine a skyscraper construction company using the same processes that a doll house builder uses?
You'd never step foot in that skyscraper.
And that is what is being done with so many projects like Facebook (built on PHP and bad processes).
Doll house builders should not use skyscraper techniques and vice versa too!

How often does the Doll House get used as a Skyscraper?

Exactly!
Every prototype is the product.

Seriously: Many years ago, an IBM salesman told me that when they used their very fancy tool for prototyping user interfaces, with surprisingly functional back end stub functions, they had orders from above to always leave out at least one essential function from the prototype.
The mock-up prototype was so good that several times the customer had been so satisfied with the mock-up that he said: Great, I'll take that one! - unwilling to pay for the work of developing "the real thing". But if it was fully functional, why not let them have it? Much because the demo was run at a huge mainframe, interpreting APL code. A small toy house thing runs with good enough performance, but it doesn't scale.
I really hate those projects that develop from prototype mock-ups that grow cancer and becomes completely unwieldy, because no proper future-friendly, scalable implementation architecture was ever drawn up. The prototype was created to get a go-ahead; that takes quite different qualities that a long-term architecture.
So if you consider me somewhat sceptical to the "agile" approach, there may be a grain fo truth to it
