Phenomenal.......2006-03-27
1. Hear My Cry = 8.3/10 - I was never really a fan of this one, I thought it was a rather unsatisfactory opener. There is some impressive harmonic singing in the chorus, and a powerful delivery in the verses. However, "Hear My Cry" never really did it for me.
2. Turn the Tides = 9.9/10 - Perhaps my third favorite song of all time. "Turn the Tides" is a fast-paced rap-induced track after which the album is named, and with good reason. The dual vocalists play off each other wonderfully during the verse, then proceed into a similar chorus, which impresses me more each time. The bridge introduces a beautiful but brief appearance of a violin. This song is by far my favorite on the CD, and amazes me each time I hear it.
3. Higher Ground = 8.9/10 - Great mix of acoustic and electric guitars in this song, which proves to be one of the softer songs of "Turn the Tides". Both vocalists harmonize in a comforting and uplifting chorus. A great song to listen to anytime.
4. Clouded = 9.7/10 - "Clouded" holds a place as my second favorite song on the album, as its gentle verse leads into a remarkable chorus, which is very relatable. I love the sound of the bridge as well. I can't help speaking softly with Nathan Rippke during the verse of "Clouded", which displays some of the brilliant lyrics featured in this CD.
5. Who Am I = 8.3/10 - I don't really enjoy this one too much. It's a hip-hop song that resonates throughout the whole track. It just doesn't do much for me, except for the lyrics.
6. Horizon = 8.8 - This was the single off "Turn the Tides", and with good reason. As the band declares, it captures what 38th Parallel is about, as it contains soft melodic singing, as well as a driving rap pre-chorus, and a harmonic and catchy chorus. Like "Higher Ground", it can be listened to in any mood.
7. State of Mind = 9.6/10 - This is one of my favorite tracks, as it opens with a very soothing guitar pattern and a verse of both vocalists playing off each other, as they do so well. This song's bridge is one of my favorite of all time, with the wonderful violin coinciding with guitars, also done by the band Skillet in their song "Collide".
8. You Are My God = 9.6/10 - This is a beautiful ballad of praise toward God. It is incredibly soothing, relaxing, and comforting to listen to, as the soft singing resonates over heavy guitars. The bridge introduces some aggression to chorus, as Nathan Rippke cries "Show me now" between each measure.
9. Wither = 9.4/10 - "Wither" provides listeners with perhaps the greatest display of the passionate, brilliant lyrics of 38th Parallel, as the bridge contains a mumbling rap about of friend of the band who has been taken by AIDS. This song is brilliantly done, and I love to listen to the powerful chorus.
10. Three Times Denied = 9.2/10 - A great closing to a sensational last four songs of "Turn the Tides". This proves to be the heaviest song on the CD, as the two vocalists combine to make it a heartfelt and emotional anthem, especially during the intense and driving chorus.

Best TD album in this guitarist's opinion.......2005-11-29
Fans of rock music are going to love this CD. Fans of new age might not appreciate this. If you are into guitar music, or music without vocals, this CD is for you. And at Two bucks a pop for a used copy, what are you watiing for?
The only thing that could make this CD better would be the use of an actual drum kit and not the drum machine.

Tides & Tyranny.......2003-09-12
Week-old reheated dinner.......2002-01-18
The album opens with 'Pictures at an Exhibition', a cover of Modest Mussorgsky's timeless classic. Executed very well, yes, this track has nothing to do with the rest of the album. What was the reason for its inclusion other than that of showing off that Jerome can replay Mussorgsky on synthesizers? As a pupil in musical school on an examination, he replayed it errror-free, but without imagination. The same composition was once included in Emerson, Lake and Palmer's programme back in 1971. ELP was a progressive band whose music even if difficult, was completely new and unique. No one played like them. And when they performed 'Pictures at an Exhibition', you felt your blood circulate faster in your veins. That was something. Froese adaptation leaves you lukewarm at most.
The next track, 'Firetongues', is the best one on the album. Quite sophisticated - it at least offers something new. At last. Spanish and electric guitars played by a guest musician, Zlatko Perica accompany many changes of mood during the track's over 6 minutes. The composition is very good. It's a pity that the band copied this track to several of their future albums, replayed it over and over again, remixing, mixing and messing with the idea. After ten years of listening to 'Firetongues' in several forms, I am tired to death.
'Galley Slave's Horizon' is a boiled-again version of 'Firetongues', with a beautiful pearl of a melody built in. Indeed, it would be sufficient to do away with the track's 7 minutes of repetitive bim-bam-bom, and make the track three times shorter, with the pearl exposed for us to admire. Much in the vein of the pop bands of the 1980s, 'Galley Slave's Horizon's main theme is incredibly touching. If you would like to listen to more of this type of music, consider the albums of Kombi and Foreigner.
After that, the album enters shallow waters. Incredibly boring 'Death of a Nightingale', 'Twilight Brigade', and 'Jungle Journey' stretch for over twenty minutes. All of these tracks were subjected to mangling in future years. Once you delve deeper into their output of the 90s, you will realize, to your horror, that "Turn of the Tides", a not-bad album on its own, was copied and muted again and again and again. Enough already! We have 2002 and I will not tolerate any remanglings of "Turn of the Tides". Not any more.
The album ends with two long tracks of much lighter texture. One of them is nicely entitled, 'Midwinter Night', however that's all good I can say about this heartless kitsch of a song. The last one, 'Turn of the Tides', begins with polka drumming, to deliver a happy-go-merry tune known from "Lily on the Beach". Lord have mercy.
Tired of the comparisons to the "old TD".......2001-01-31
I have listened to Turn of the Tides many times over the past 6 years -- it hasn't exactly improved with age, but it also hasn't lost any of the beauty I heard when I first enjoyed it.
"Galley Slave's Horizon" is my favorite track -- I enjoy the tension in it -- moving from sudden leaps and quick rythms to nearly silent pauses as though suspended in flight.
I don't care for the "story" accompanying the concept -- just didn't add anythign to my experience of the music. Otherwise, Turn of the Tides remains one of those CDs I can count on to provide an hour or two of pleasure -- reason enough for me to recommend it.
Save your money........2000-11-28
My Stars go to Fire Tongues; the rest I could do without and in fact feel foolish that I ever paid to hear them. It's a very monotonous collection, and that's about all I can say of it. When people talk about the "drought" Tangerine Dream had during the mid 90's, this is the kind of work they're talking about.
