Long, evolving paths; huge stacks of equipment; unparalleled music; innovative live performances based on improvisation. This is the legacy of Tangerine Dream, the legendary German band led by Edgar Froese, whose influence on music, and especially electronic music, has been profound. Founded in the summer of love, initially as a group of rock musicians who liked to improvise, they went on to record and release a series of groundbreaking albums with the domestic Ohr Records and the ancient Virgin Records of Richard Branson.
With the support of the underground DJ giant John Peel, their star rose in the '70s. This book covers that brilliant, extraordinary decade, focusing on the music while also telling the band's story. The albums recorded by the band include the classic Phaedra, the hugely popular follow-up Rubycon, and the decade was closed with the powerful Force Majeure. The book includes new interviews with Steve Jolliffe and Steve Schroyder, who were there alongside Froese in those early days.
