West Berlin, Germany (1967 – present)

Tangerine Dream is a German electronic music group founded 1967 in West Berlin, Germany, by Edgar Froese. The band has undergone many personnel changes over the years, with Froese being the only continuous member. Drummer and composer Klaus Schulze was briefly a member of an early lineup, but the most stable version of the group, during their influential mid-1970s period, was as a keyboard trio with Froese, Christopher Franke, and Peter Baumann. Early in the 1980s, Johannes Schmoelling replaced Baumann, and this lineup, too, was stable and extremely productive.

As of 2009, Tangerine Dream comprises Edgar Froese and Thorsten Quaeschning. For concerts and recordings they are joined mainly by Iris Camaa, Linda Spa and Bernhard Beibl.

Tangerine Dream’s early “Pink Years” albums had a pivotal role in the development of krautrock. Their “Virgin Years” and later albums became a defining influence in the genre known as new age music, although the band themselves disliked the term.

Tangerine Dream’s music was featured in the Tom Cruise movie, Risky Business.

to add to 24db's excellent recommendation, i would like to put forward "hyperborea"...extremely overlooked i would probably guess due to it being an 80's T.D. album, very quirky but still incredibly progressive and totally otherworldly..however, my favourite would be already listed, without doubt alpha centauri...this can literally take you to places that previously only nasa would have you believe possible.

http://zeitgeist-24db.blogspot.com/ 71 people have signed up (so far) for the Royal Albert Hall pre-concert fan meet. Full details on the above link. Last year we had well over a hundred people turn up, so the total is likely to increase.

@ Renan Salaberga. Depends on what style you like. If it's coldly atmospheric and ambient...then it's Zeit, rhythmic and sequencial...then Ricochet, melodic and power?....then Logos or Poland. Like guitars more? then Force Majeure. Alien landscapes? Phaedra and Rubycon? Low Fi and Krautrock? Atem or Alpha Centauri....with well over 100 albums to choose for the list is (almost) endless. If you still don't know where to start try the compilation 'Dream Sequence'

In der ganzen Wlet gibt's nichts besser als Tangerine Dream zu hören auf Creative Inspire! 5.1 Hörer liegend im wärme Bett mit geschlossene Augen und dachtend über nichts. Das kann hipnotiesieren. Für alle die ähnich denk' sehr heiße Grüße.

I was rather skeptical in the beginning, but Optical Race turned out to be much better than expected.
