Performer: Tangerine Dream
Producer: Chris Franke; Edgar Froese Distributor: Caroline Distribution Notes: Tangram marked the beginning of a new musical direction for Tangerine Dream. It's closer to straight-ahead, melodic new age music and more tied to their soundtrack material. The first of the two side-long pieces progresses through several different passages that use gently brushed acoustic guitars as well as the requisite synthesizers. For new age fans, this is the first glimmering of Tangerine Dream's eventual direction during the '80s. ~ Keith Farley
Q (8/95, p.152) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...This was the next logical step beyond the classic era of PHAEDRA, RUBYCON and STRATOSFEAR, easily matching their rhythmic/melodic interplay while shifting the technology into overdrive."
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.
