PURGATORIO

This Tangerine Dream album is an essential addition to any fan of the band. It includes a studio version of a previous live performance at the Royal Festival Hall, in London, in March 2004. At the opening night of the Ether Electronic Music Festival which was followed by the world premiere of a restored version of the Italian silent movie "Purgatorio" from 1911 by Giuseppe de Liguoro's, second part of Dante Alighieri's "La Divina Commedia."

Judged by the fact that this is such an important piece of history, one must listen to it as such. Very dramatic at times, while the original sound of Tangerine Dream takes a peak in songs like "All the Steps to Heaven", "The Glowing Zodiac Wheel" and "Slave to the Gods" then closest with a very anthemic array of songs such as "Till The End Of Silence", and "Spirit Spiral".
