I chose Phaedra.
Bermuda Triangle were an OK American Folk duo, but somewhat overrated by the dealers, I think. Not sure which Phaedra you're talking about.
Actually I'm referring to the new Black Mirror episode. I resisted watching it for about 24 hours and snapped and watched it today. Probably my fave Black Mirror. It's really quite innovative and disturbing. Kinda reminds me of an experiment my class went through when I was about 11-12 where we thought we were administering elecrtic shocks to someone when they got questions wrong - yet we kept asking more and more difficult questions. Of course there was no electric current but that wasn't the point.

Phaedra as in Tangerine Dream. And it was at least a very interesting and innovative episode of Black Mirror but by far not my fave.
Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that
Phaedra is the name of a Tangerine Dream album. Bermuda Triangle is an area of the North Atlantic Ocean where an inordinate number of planes and ships have disappeared. Black Mirror, I have never heard of. Two out of three ain't bad.
Bermuda Triangle is also, I believe, the title of a Tomita album. So I assumed when I clicked on this was a TD versus Tomita thread.
The Bermuda Triangle was a hot topic of discussion back in the 70's, There was a board game (which a friend of my brother's had), and there were at least two movies: one a documentary, another a really bad movie directed by Rene Cardona Jr and starring John Huston, Andres Garcia, Gloria Guida, and Hugo Stiglitz. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of the talk was based off a book written by a guy named CHarles Berlitz, who seems to have looked at Chariots Of The Gods and said "Hey, I could do a book like that and con millions of people into buying it, too!".
Yes, Phaedra is the name of a TD album, but according to Discogs, there's a slew of bands with that name as well.
(Song title also inspired Klaus Schulze.)

^ I first heard that track on a TV special, (those were the days.) I never forgot it, but never knew what it was until the early 00s, when I inquired about it on the Yahoo Psychedelica group. Needless to say, I then picked up the LP immediately.
Thanks. I have several Tomita albums, but have apparently not run across Bermuda Triangle. I will seek it out. That, and the Nancy & Lee.Originally Posted by Chris
Having sat through it, I would have to say I prefer not having to interact with TV. Nice to hear that it gave Phaedra a bump on the charts, though.
I was gobsmacked by "Bandersnatch" (the branching-adventure 5th season episode of "Black Mirror") the first time I watched it. Of course I chose Phaedra too, and was impressed that music from Phaedra (and "Risky Business") kept recurring later in the adventure.
The second time I watched it, I intentionally made different choices to see the result. Tomita's "Bermuda Triangle" played immediately after Stefan Butler bought it.... but later, Phaedra showed up anyway (even though supposedly Stefan didn't own it). This, among many other choices, had very little effect on the development of the story.
So, I ended up seeing most of it the first time though. I was a lot less gobsmacked the second time.
Still.... you have to wonder, does Netflix assign a separate server for each-and-every viewer watching "Bandersnatch"? I mean the flashbacks you get every time you reach a major branching point include quick snatches of every choice you've made up to that point. The programming boggles my mind.
Tangerine Dream or Isao Tomita??
Neither were their best albums, BTW. Both stopped making good albums by the early 80's.
But Phaedra is classic TD, wheras BT isn't classic Tomita
Welcome back to Robert, BTW.

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Thanks but I'll remain a very infrequent lurker. I've moved on.
Just watched this, or at least enough of it. I just haven't chosen the end credits yet. I thought the choose a path mechanism was pretty cool, but overall the story seemed like a retread of several pre-existing things. The one thing I'm wondering is if I'd chosen Tomita instead of T Dream, would it have had a merrier tone? I don't actually know Bermuda Triangle.

Gabriel had a song called We're Do As We're Told (Milgram's 37), which was inspired by Stanley Milgram's original experiments in the early 60's. Milgram was trying to figure out how common it was for humans to simply "follow orders", as a potential explanation for the Nazi Holocaust.
