Electronic Meditation is Tangerine Dream's debut album. It features the Tangerine Dream lineup of Edgar Froese, Conrad Schnitzler, and Klaus Schulze (his only album with Tangerine Dream). This CD, while very strong in many ways, has some serious flaws. It is about as far from e-music as it gets but still shows promise at the same time. Wildly experimental timbres, passages, and textures dominate this sound world. It is definitely a rock & roll effort and decidedly avant-garde. And at the same time it is very accessible. It is hard to dislike this CD. It is very similar to the music of Pink Floyd and Amon D��hl of the same era. ~ Jim Brenholts

Mojo (Publisher) (6/96, p.112) - "...ELECTRONIC MEDITATION is tough stuff, cellos moan, organs glower, rhythms splinter, guitars prick the ears like needles. You might want to listen to this album but you wouldn't want to meet it down a dark alley..."

An inspiration to subsequent generations of electronic artists, Tangerine Dream pioneered the ambient use of synthesizers in a rock format. Part of the German psychedelia ("krautrock") explosion of the late '60s/early '70s, the group mutated over the years to a more rhythmic sound, eventually providing soundtrack music for many films.
