Phaedra, Rubycon, Force Majeure with an honorable mention to Zeit when the mood strikes.  No bad albums from TD in the 70's some are excellent.

I thought it would be Phaedra but it's Rubycon. I think Encore should be included as the material is all new as was / is their live wont. Plus I'd vote for Monolight... wunderbar.

It's very unique, slightly more organic sounding (Edgar even plays bass guitar on one cut). The compositions are no less foreboding or ominous in tone than Rubycon, but the album harks back to psych than Berlin School in its feel. And then when you consider that the next studio album turned out to be Cyclone...

Electronic Meditations, that perfect "meditation" album for me.

Atem gets my vote.

Most of the early albums are great but Atem stands out. Wonderful and threatening space ambience.

Ricochet is my favourite. But with this one lacking, I voted for Rubycon. Next come Cyclone (my first listening to this album was quite a shocking experience) and Stratosfear.

I wager it's because Phaedra's the most varied of the LPs mentioned.
i think it was the precursor to Rubycon where the hypnotic pulse really took off in their sound so Phaedra  was the enabler for the sound to start taking a new direction. It is unique and so " timeless".....my two cents worth and the production holds up really well. Phaedra= Bridge to the Virgin Years

This is as tough as the movie Sophie's Choice

just for today, Force Majeure....

Gotta love them all, but the unique  cold, deep, outer space, ....darkness...very dark, roaring silence of.....Zeit. gets better with each passing decade

I expected Rubycon to win this. Zeit seems to hold a special affection for many so not surprised its getting a lot of votes.

I would like to some more comments about Phaedra and why its so loved.

Zeit, followed closely by Phaedra and Rubycon.. The latter was my introduction to the music of Tangerine Dream and therefore holds a special place in my heart but over time I gravitated more to the dark and monolithic sounds of "Zeit".
I also love the "Klangwald" performance which is on the latest remastered edition of the Zeit album.

Just a quick question, which is your favourite Tangerine Dream album from the 70s? Comment below if you can to say why - really getting into them at the moment and I want to know if there are any I should listen to in particular. I listened to them all ages ago, and practically just in the background, but I don't know which one's to listen to again. At the moment, I adore Zeit so much more than Phaedra and Rubycon, and it has stuck in my head since ages ago, so it gets my vote. But anyway!

Thanks for any feedback Big smile
 
where are Ricochet (in my top 3) and Encore??? Shocked
 
 
I went with Alpha Centauri, though I like them all during that decade...

Sorry, forgot to say it's just studio not live albums Ermm
