TANGERINE DREAM
Le Parc
PRODUCERS: Chris Franke, Edgar Froese, Johannes Schmoelling
Relativity EMC 8043


German techno-space rock-trio's first studio album released in the U.S. in five years features strongly melodic tunes, heavy on the synths. Each track represents a different geographic locale, from Paris to Sydney, to Yellowstone Park. Still sounds like a soundtrack, though.

Billboard recommends...Exit!

TANGERINE DREAM - Exit, Elektra 5E557. Produced by Edgar Froese and Chris Fanke.
Tangerine Dream utilizes a number of musical effects in making its soundtrack music for the mind. But however intellectually interesting they may get, they never have that compelling urgency of the other great German synthesizer band, Kraftwerk. Best cuts: "Kiew Mission," "Exit," "Network 23."

TANGERINE DREAM
...In The Beginning
PRODUCERS: Edgar Froese, Chris Franke and Tangerine Dream
Relativity EMC 8066,

This impressively packaged numbered and boxed five-record set includes not only such seminal Tangerine Dream works as "Zeit and "Alpha Centauri," but also the previously unreleased "Green Desert" and the ultraexperimental "Atem" and "Electronic Meditation." Founded by synthesist/composer Froese in 1967, Tangerine Dream has gone through various incarnations and musical styles, serving as a major inspiration for the new wave of British synth-pop. Froese and Chris Franke recently reformed TD on the Relativity label for their first non-soundtrack release in years, "Le Parc." Word has it that a tour is also in the works this year. This is a collector's item, to be sure, and could do well in any "new age" (whatever that means) records section. Distributed by Important Records.
