Going back to the mid-70s, you might also try Agitation Free - Last
or the first two albums by Jean-Michel Jarre - Equinox and Oxygène.
the last two are more in the vein of late 70s Tangerine, a bit more
commercial

Of course ... although they may be too "modern" for some. But I LOVE them!

In Europe, and especially in the UK, there is very TD inspired wave of new EM bands like Red Shift, Free System Project, Rudy Adrian and Airsculpture. You can dream away with pulsating sequencers and many violin-Mellotron waves, it often sounds like Phaedra TD!

Take a look at : www.e-detionmag.com, this is a Dutch magazine in the Dutch and Enlgish language about Electronic music, very interesting for EM fans!

Don't forget the newer bands n the vein of TD: Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a perfect example...

and there's a web site dedicated to tangerine dream, called "Stephan's Tangerine Dream Web Pages", sorry, I don't know the addrtess! (I got it as a html help file lumped into a TD mp3 disc, Russian!) There's a "similar artists" page, among which I remember Ozric Tantacles and King Crimson!

Not everything needs to sound exactly likr TD, though, there are certain similarities. Stephan himself doesn't know the bands I mentioned, either...

maybe I'll search some more

oh, not to mention Kraftweerk, which, according to TD official site, "represents more or less the opposite way of making electronic music"! I can recommend the first 2 albums (self-titled), ;Ralf and Florian, and the first actual Kraftwerk album, Tone Float LP under the title Organisation... Great experimental proto-electronic krautrock stuff! Maybe "Autobahn" can please TD fans to an extent, too... I don't guarantee! check out the reviews in the discography!

 
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Now it's recommending a band called "Silver Apples" ... this is really weird stuff. Do you know them?



I know them. I love them, in fact. Yet, it's a psychedelic band from the 60's. Their first two albums are trully classics! It sounds like music that wasn't made on Earth, f**kin amazing to say the least!
And above all, is punk

The most famous bands like Can, Neu! etc. are not hard to find but the more obscure ones can be pretty difficult to hunt down.

Steve Hillage, Ozric Tentacles and Gong have that sort of vibe about them, although there tends to be a rock sensibility to their music as well.

I can only recommend http://www.last.fm once again - Install their radio player, and make it play similar music to any popular Krautrock / Progressive Electronic artist like Tangerine Dream.

a warning about Conrad Schnitzler: his music has mostly been published privately, in very small editions of about 500 or even less. some of it only in tape form. it will not be easy to get hold of some of his output. I am pretty sure I could not write a complete discography (or more like tapography in his case), though I am quite knowledgable in Krautrock

^

From non German bands, Heldon & Richard Pinhas played a fusion between fripp's guitar style and hypnotic synth arrengements. I advise you to hear the chaotic and moody "un reve sans consequence spécial" among others.

also try the music of Conrad Schnitzler ("Blau", "Rot") if you want to get in touch with something more in the vein of Tangerine Dream's experimental proto-eletronic era  (Zeit, Alpha Centauri...)

about Schulze I advise you "Irrlicht" and "Cyborg" for embryonic electronic/ organ works and his classic analog synth albums "Mirage" / "Moondawn" / "X"
