... MoreTangerine Dream is a German electronic music band founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese. The group has undergone many personnel changes over the years, with Froese being the only continuous member until his death in 2015. Tangerine Dream is known for their pioneering work in electronic music and their prolific output, having released over one hundred albums. Their early work in the 1970s was instrumental in the development of the Berlin School of electronic music. During this period, they produced albums such as "Ricochet" (1975) and "Stratosfear" (1976), which are considered classics of the genre. The band's music has ranged from experimental electronic to new age and has been used extensively in film soundtracks. Notably, they composed scores for films like "Sorcerer," "Thief," and "Risky Business." The compilation "The Virgin Years: 1974-1978" captures some of their most influential work from this era. Tangerine Dream's influence can be heard in the works of many artists and has contributed significantly to the evolution of electronic music.
