About this album

Tangram is a key Tangerine Dream album, sharpening the group’s Berlin-school formula into two long-form electronic suites. Released in 1980, it shows Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke and Johannes Schmoelling balancing hypnotic sequencer patterns with stronger melodic direction and a cleaner, more immediate studio sound than much of their earlier work. The album is widely regarded as one of the band’s most accessible late-1970s-to-early-1980s releases, helping bridge their experimental roots and their later film-score style ambience. For listeners drawn to classic German electronic music, it stands as one of Tangerine Dream’s defining statements.
