TangerineDream, formed in Berlino by guitarist Edgar Froese, percussionist Klaus Schulze and keyboardist Conrad Schnitzler, were among the earliest conscious explorers of a new musical universe opened by electronic instruments.
TangerineDream's music was born as a psychedelic journey in the heavens, and, aided by the new electronic keyboards, transformed into a contemplative survey of the universe.
Unlike the acid-rock it descended from, TangerineDream's "kosmische musik" was minor-key and devoid of climax.
After saying that, this album is definitely a grower especially when track 2 begins with a nice piano and flute and sets the scene for the rest of the album.
For anyone familiar with TangerineDream you know this is a pointer to the future so if you are into the 1970's stuff this could be a good place to make a "sharp exit".
TangerineDream definitely seem to be mellowing their style to a more coherent structure and more commercial pattern of frame work.
