Blue Room was a project by Peter Baumann with former TD member Paul Haslinger. The music can probaly best be described as Progressive Rock -- long compositions with vocals a rather complex structure. Intended to be released in 1993 the album was never officially finished, but a promo mc that was issued by Private Music in 1992 found the way to TD fans and the music material since has been released on a number of bootlegs.

Peter Baumann, Members of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by H. Baumann.

Peter Baumann's first solo album, Romance 76, was released in 1976, while he was still a member of Tangerine Dream.

The first three tracks (forming side one of the original vinyl release) are stylistic quite similar to the music that can be heard on TD's albums Stratosfear (1976) and Sorcerer (1977). Listening to these solo tracks its quite easy to notice Peter Baumann's contribution to those TD records -- including the particular high frequency beat and the melodic and rhythmic keyboards patterns.

The latter three tracks are quite more experimental, forming an epic, orchestrated suite: the arrangements consist mainly of floating female vocal, string, and flute sounds, incorporating the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir. Atonal voices, spare electronics, and driving percussion all combine into an eerie neo-classical experiment more suitable for the soundtrack of an imaginary sci-fi movie. Peter Baumann did not pursue anything similar on his subsequent albums.

A CD version of Romance 76 was finally released in 1990 but went out-of-print only a few years later and is now a very rare item to find.
