West Berlin, Germany (1967 – present)
Founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese in Berlin, Tangerine Dream has progressed through a full three dozen lineups (Froese being the only continuous member with staying power) and four distinct stages of development: the experimentalist minimalism of the late ’60s and early ’70s; stark sequencer trance during the mid- to late ’70s, the group’s most influential period; an organic form of instrumental music on their frequent film and studio work during the 1980s; and, finally, a more propulsive dance style, which showed Tangerine Dream with a sound quite similar to their electronic inheritors in the field of dance music.
Froese, born in Tilsit, East Prussia, in 1944, was little influenced by music while growing up. Instead, he looked to the Dadaist and Surrealist art movements for inspiration, as well as literary figures such as Gertrude Stein, Henry Miller, and Walt Whitman. He organized multimedia events at the residence of Salvador Dali in Spain during the mid-’60s and began to entertain the notion of combining his artistic and literary influences with music; Froese played in a musical combo called the Ones, which recorded just one single before dissolving in 1967. The first lineup of Tangerine Dream formed later that year, with Froese on guitar, bassist Kurt Herkenberg, drummer Lanse Hapshash, flutist Volker Hombach and vocalist Charlie Prince. The quintet aligned itself with contemporary American acid rock (the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane), and played around Berlin at various student events.

Hyperborea, Phaedra, White Eagle, Tangram, Rubycon, Force Majeure, Richochet, Cyclone. These guys had something special going on during that time. These albums are like soundtracks to great stories. Lots of textures and always listenable.

I don't see it in similar section, but this is not how it works. It's based on listening habits of the scrobblers.

In case anyone is wondering about the amazing Tangerine Dream track in this radio show (the tracklist was lost on the site): http://www.last.fm/music/CORRUPT+radio/_/07.07.20, it took me over a month to find (no thanks to the apparently uncaring users on here). It is the song Stratosfear on the TD live Bootmoon Series album: Ottawa - June 20th, 1986. I have heard about 80% of the band's extensive catalog, and I can say without certainty that this is seemingly the greatest single recording that exists of them.
