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 and electronica and exploring artists that are as varied as The Future Sound of London to Porcupine Tree.
Led by Electronica pioneer Froese, Tangerine Dream have been embedded in popular culture and were featured in the widely popular smash hit TV show ‘Stranger Things’ as well as aiding to write the soundtrack of household video game Grand Theft Auto V. The group’s accolades further extend to receiving seven Grammy nominations having written over 100 studio albums. The collective have developed an instantly recognisable synth based style of music that draws on a meditative musical experience that came to prominence in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Fast forward to the modern day where synthesisers and sequencers are seeing a huge resurgence and 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” and “Yellowstone Park”. Not only are these recordings re-recorded covers but heartfelt and individual interpretations, featuring new arrangements and new generations of synths and 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 and then take their ‘From Virgin to Quantum Years’ 2023 tour to Germany and the UK.
This edition of Recurring Dreams is presented on classic black double vinyl in a single sleeve.
