Long, unfurling tracks; huge stacks of gear; music like that of no
other group; trailblazing live gigs based on improvisation. This is
the legacy of Tangerine Dream, the legendary German group piloted
by Edgar Froese, whose impact on music, and electronic music in
particular, has been profound. Formed in the Summer of Love, and at
the beginning a group of rock musicians who liked to improvise,
they went on to record and release a series of ground-breaking
synthesiser albums with their native Ohr Records and with Richard
Branson's fledgling Virgin Records. With the support of underground
DJ titan John Peel, their star ascended through the seventies. This
book covers that glorious, extraordinary decade, focusing on the
music but also telling the group's tale. Albums recording by the
band included the classic Phaedra, it's hugely popular follow up
Rubycon and they ended the decade with the powerful Force Majeure.
The book includes new interviews with Steve Jolliffe and also with
early member Steve Schroyder, who was there alongside Froese in
those very early days.
