Tangerine Dream, the legendary German group led by Edgar Froese, has left an indelible mark on music, particularly electronic music. Formed during the Summer of Love, the group initially consisted of rock musicians who loved to improvise. Over time, they ventured into recording and releasing a series of groundbreaking synthesiser albums, both with their native Ohr Records and Richard Branson's fledgling Virgin Records. Their rise to fame was aided by the support of underground DJ titan John Peel, who helped propel them to stardom in the 1970s.

This book delves into that illustrious decade, focusing on the music but also weaving the group's tale. Albums released by Tangerine Dream during this period include the classic Phaedra, its hugely popular follow-up Rubycon, and the powerful Force Majeure, which closed out the decade. The book also features new interviews with Steve Jolliffe and Steve Schroyder, who were part of the group during its early days alongside Froese.

Tangerine Dream's influence extends far beyond their music. They were pioneers in the use of synthesizers and electronic instruments, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the genre. Their live gigs, known for their improvisation and experimental nature, were groundbreaking and inspired many musicians to follow in their footsteps.

The group's legacy continues to resonate today, with their music being celebrated by fans worldwide. Their influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, from electronic music pioneers to contemporary musicians who draw inspiration from their innovative approach. Tangerine Dream's impact on music is truly immeasurable, and their influence will be felt for generations to come.
