Tangerine Dream [White Eagle]

Tangerine Dream are like the Rock group Yes in a way, i love their album Going For The One, but no matter how many other albums i've tried, i've come away disappointed, the exact same thing happens with Tangerine Dream, i've tried many other albums, but i'm truly underwhelmed by their output, is this their only masterpiece?, i bought this in a second hand shop, hearing extensively of the group, but knowing nothing of their music, other than they were Jean Michel Jarre sound-alikes, at first i was a little disappointed, but i've grown to love this album, i just wish that Electronic Music was so easy to explore as other mediums / genres.

Tangerine Dream started up in 1967, and has been through many different changes, this album has the classic line-up of,

Edgar Froese

Chris Franke

Johannes Schmoelling

i guess it's a fairly short album, 38:24 long, but of course it's the quality that counts, it only contains 4 tracks, and it's the 20 minute opener i enjoy the most, it's in essence split up into 4 parts,

Part One = 0:00 - 2:41

Part Two = 2:41 - 10:29

Part Three = 10:29 - 15:06

Part Four = 15:06 - 20:10
