   The Cosmic Frequencies / USA – 2022-11-22

   This CD was my first purchased from Groove years ago.Christopher Franke was a member of Tangerine Dream from 1970-1988.Franke’s first solo record upon leaving Tangerine Dream is a travelogue saluting the rugged, and often majestic, California coastline environs. Franke here has largely jettisoned his trademark sequencer labyrinths of yesteryear and instead substituted grand pianos, austere digital synthesizers and subtle percussive shadings.

   Driving Into Blue” uses digitized pianos to convey a sense of speed while commuting along white sandy shorelines. “Purple Waves” is an intimate work for synthetic voice choirs
