Edgar Allan Poe’s The Island of The Fay

“Founded by the late Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream is perhaps the premier exponent of “electronic rock” music of the “Berlin School”. From their “free-rock” beginnings in the nascent “krautrock” scene to the eventual synthesizer-based trio which signed to Virgin, this German group can take significant credit in introducing synthesizer- and sequencer-based electronic music to most of the Western rock world. At the height of their success – during the mid to late 1970s – TD’s spacey, pulsing music earned them a tenacious cult following. By the late Seventies, however, line-ups, and more importantly, the formula changed, tilting towards more conventional “rock” music. By the early 1980s, TD was primarily releasing influential soundtrack work, before settling into New Age content by mid-decade”.

First released 2011, this is a 2015 reissue and hard to find in the UK.
