Tangerine Dream – Tyranny Of Beauty – Cassette

Tyranny of Beauty is an album by Tangerine Dream, released in 1995. Tangerine Dream, known for their influential contributions to electronic and ambient music, created Tyranny of Beauty during a period when they were experimenting with a more melodic and accessible sound.

The album features a combination of ambient, electronic, and new age elements, showcasing the band’s ability to evolve their sonic palette. ‘Tyranny of Beauty’ is characterized by its melodic compositions and atmospheric textures, marking a departure from some of the band’s earlier, more experimental works.

Tyranny of Beauty is one of Tangerine Dream’s best cassettes of the early and mid-’90s. They are overshadowed by its strengths, and the cassette earns high praise. The TD lineup for this cassette is Edgar Froese, Linda Spa, and Jerome Froese. Mark Horn and Gerald Gradwohl contribute various guitar performances. Those performances are the keys to this cassette’s merit.

Gradwohl’s lead guitar spots play off and to Edgar Froese’s lead guitar. The sparring adds clout to the atmospheres. The atmospheres, in turn, build upon each other and create a grand soundscape. The strongest track is ‘Stratosfear 1995,’ a redesign of the Virgin era standard. This cassette is a return to the basics with polish and tact. It is essential Berlin school electronica

For those interested in Tangerine Dream’s exploration of diverse musical landscapes and their ability to adapt to different styles, ‘Tyranny of Beauty’ serves as a notable chapter in the band’s extensive discography.
