Tangerine Dream are a German electronic music group founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese. The band has undergone several personnel changes over the years, with Froese the only continuous member. Drummer and composer Klaus Schulze was a member of an early lineup, but the most stable version of the group during their influential mid-1970s period was as a keyboard trio with Froese, Christopher Franke, and Peter Baumann. Early in the 1980s, Johannes Schmoelling replaced Baumann, and this lineup, too, was stable and extremely productive. Tangerine Dream's early "Pink Years" albums had a pivotal role in the development of krautrock. Their "Virgin Years" and later albums became a defining influence in new age music. The band is also known for their stunning soundtracks for William Friedkin's 1977 film "Sorcerer" and Michael Mann's 1981 film, "Thief" starring James Caan. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
