Founded by the late Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream is a German group that played a significant role in introducing synthesizer- and sequencer-based electronic music to the Western rock world. They started as a "free-rock" band in the krautrock scene before evolving into a synthesizer-based trio signed to Virgin Records. During the mid to late 1970s, their spacey, pulsing music gained them a devoted cult following. In the late Seventies, their lineup and musical style changed towards more conventional rock music. By the early 1980s, they focused on releasing influential soundtracks before transitioning into New Age content.

Tangerine Dream was formed in Berlin in 1967 with an initial lineup that included Edgar Froese, Conrad Schnitzler (cello), and Klaus Schulze (drums). Their experimental improvisations were influenced by London's psychedelia but had a unique krautrock twist. The addition of Christopher Franke replaced Schulze for their second album, Alpha Centauri, while Peter Baumann joined for Zeit. Their signature style emerged with Phaedra released under Virgin Records in 1973 - long melodic pieces featuring understated keyboard and guitar melodies intertwined with ambient electronic textures created using synthesizers and sequencers.

The band went through various lineup changes over the years but maintained their focus on rhythmic textures during the first half of the 1980s. This shift divided fans as Tanger

A fundamental influence on electronic music, Edgar Froese founded Tangerine Dream in West Berlin, 1967. Tangerine Dream laid the foundations for the birth of multiple electronic music genres that include ambient & electronica & exploring artists that are as varied as The Future Sound of London to Porcupine Tree.

Tangerine Dream have been embedded in popular culture & were featured in the widely popular smash hit TV show ‘Stranger Things’ as well as aiding to write the soundtrack of the household video game name ‘Grand Theft Auto V’.

The group’s accolades extend to receiving seven Grammy nominations & have written over 100 studio albums alongside being led by Froese who was a pioneer in electronica. The collective developed an instantly recognisable synth-based style of music that draws on a meditative musical experience that came to prominence in the 1970’s & 1980’s.

Fast forward to the modern day where synthesisers & sequencers are seeing a huge resurgence & still Tangerine Dream are at the forefront of an ever-evolving electronic music scene.

With ‘Recurring Dreams’, the new incarnation of Tangerine Dream pay homage to select classics, such as “Phaedra”, “Stratosfear”, “Tangram” & “Yellowstone Park”.

Not only are these recordings re-recorded covers but heartfelt & individual interpretations, featuring new arrangements, new generations of synths & sequencers. ‘Recurring Dreams’ also includes the new version of ‘Claymore Mine Stalking’ that was used in the 2018, popular Black Metal movie “Lords of Chaos”.

The band are currently set to tour the US in September until October & then take their “From Virgin to Quantum Years 2023” tour to Germany & the UK.
