Tangerine Dream's psychedelic debut is the only TD album to feature the trio of Edgar Froese, Klaus Schulze & Conrad Schnitzler (who plays cello, violin & addiator, whatever that is!). This album is a total psychedelic freak-out and nothing like their later sequencer-driven albums, so buckle up and get ready to take a Journey Through a Burning Brain because this album is a wild ride! Smile

Electronic Meditation is a transition point between two ages, where three wayfarers stumbled onto a new quest that would occupy their senses till the end of their days. It's a milestone. Clap

I also love Stratosfear to bits, but is it really the only TD album you own? Hopefully this thread will change that. Wink

I've posted this brief review of Tangerine Dream's first album separately from my original post above because "Unravelling the Tangram" puzzle of TD's HUGE discography, including studio, live & soundtrack albums, is going to take up a heck of a lot of space. Smile

Phaedra was a princess of Crete in Greek mythology, and that's where we begin our journey as we cross the Rubycon with the music of Tangerine Dream. This legendary German electronica band have been with us seemingly forever, and their wonderful music reverberates and resonates through the years like a Ricochet bouncing endlessly off the walls through eternity. Tangerine Dream are best-known for their classic 1970's albums on the Virgin label and they really soared to the heights of the Stratosfear and beyond with the success of their fourth Virgin album in 1976. The trio of Tangerine Dream were led by the electronic Sorcerer of the keys Edgar Froese (1944-2015) with Chris Franke and Peter Baumann completing the line-up in the early years (up until 1979 when Johannes Schmoelling replaced Peter Baumann in the line-up). The band had a very successful concert tour of the USA in 1977 where they were often asked to perform an Encore and they stormed from coast to coast across the United States with all the power of a Cyclone in an unstoppable Force Majeure of energy and strength. The music of Tangerine Dream has all the colour and versatility of a Tangram puzzle, which can often be as  grand and imposing as the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. Tangerine Dream are well-known for their soundtrack albums too, most notably with the score to the James Cann movie Thief in 1981. It's in their stunning concert performances where Tangerine Dream really excel though, and fans are always guaranteed a long concert set before the band finally Exit the stage. The magnificent music of Tangerine Dream soars with the grace and beauty of a magnificent White Eagle and their music is just as distinctive as the Logos on their album covers. In fact, Tangerine Dream are almost as legendary as the mystical land of Hyperborea in ancient Greek folklore.
 
The sequencer albums of Tangerine Dream all Highlighted above in sequential order. Smile
