2020 collection of newly reworked selected classics by the 2020 lineup
of the legendary pioneers of electronica and ambient. Tangerine Dream
have been a fundamental influence on electronic music since Edgar Froese
founded the band in West Berlin, 1967. The group has also received
seven Grammy nominations, written over 100 studio albums and were led by
Froese, who developed an instantly recognizable synth-based
instrumental music based on a meditative musical experience that came to
prominence in the '70s and '80s. Fast-forward to the present day, when
popular culture is rediscovering synthesizers and sequencers, and
Tangerine Dream are in the mix of an exciting time for an evolving
electronic music scene. Modern Tangerine Dream has seen the beginning of
The Quantum Years, which began as a concept and series of musical
sketches by Froese before he passed away in 2015. With Recurring Dreams,
the new generation of Tangerine Dream pay homage to the band's timeless
beginnings with captivating and emotional renditions of selected
classics, such as "Phaedra", "Stratosfear", "Tangram" and "Yellowstone
Park". These new recordings are not just re-recorded covers but
heartfelt and individual interpretations, featuring all generations of
synths and sequencers, added layers and new arrangements, applying
Froese's new quantum dream to these highly influential tracks.
