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.

Tangerine Dream's 'kosmische musik' of the early 70s is one of the true roots of contemporary electronic and ambient music.

Well, my opinion is that all albums with Chris Franke are worth attention (the Virgin Years are top stuff), later there were some ups and downs ;)

My favourite soundtrack from TD would have to be Near Dark. Luminous gem that is.
