1980 studio album by Tangerine Dream
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [1]
Tangram is the thirteenth major release and tenth studio album by the electronic music group Tangerine Dream . It became their fifth biggest selling album, reaching #36 in the British Top 40, and spending 5 weeks on the chart.[2]
Overview [ ]
At a turning point between two eras, Tangram contains fond glimpses back at the "classic long-form sequencer" period and also contains foreshadows of the "new age melodic short track" period to come. It introduced new member Johannes Schmoelling , re-establishing the band as a keyboard trio.
Each set contains multiple movements, some rhythmic, some atmospheric. An early live set in East Berlin (recorded in January 1980 and documented in Tangerine Dream's Quichotte , later retitled Pergamon ) contains passages similar to Tangram .
