Tangerine Dream – Tangram – Cassette
Tangram is an album by the German electronic music pioneers Tangerine Dream, released in 1980. It is considered one of their classic works and showcases the group’s unique blend of ambient, electronic, and progressive rock music.
Tangram marked the beginning of a new musical direction for Tangerine Dream. It’s closer to straight-ahead, melodic new age music and more tied to their soundtrack material. The first of the two side-long pieces progresses through several different passages that use gently brushed acoustic guitars as well as the requisite synthesizers. For new age fans, this is the first glimmering of Tangerine Dream’s eventual direction during the ’80s.
The album is divided into two parts, ‘Tangram Set 1’ and ‘Tangram Set 2,’ each consisting of several tracks that seamlessly flow into one another. The music on Tangram is characterized by pulsating rhythms, atmospheric synthesizers, and intricate melodies, creating a captivating and immersive sonic experience.
Tangram displays Tangerine Dream’s signature sound, combining elements of sequenced synthesizers, ethereal textures, and hypnotic electronic beats. The album is often praised for its evocative and cinematic qualities, as it takes listeners on a journey through imaginative soundscapes and dreamlike realms.
With its mesmerizing compositions and intricate arrangements, Tangram remains a landmark release in Tangerine Dream’s discography and a significant contribution to the electronic music genre as a whole.
