The late Syd Barrett still inspires reverence and awe in fans and former peers alike. This late-career album by electronic music stalwarts Tangerine Dream celebrates the man and his mad genius in a set of quietly regal songs that borrow their lyrics from classic English and American poetry. To hear a Walt Whitman ode set to Edgar Froese's melodic inventions is a thing of rare, twisted beauty indeed--like Syd Barrett himself.
Tracklist
Tangerine Dream
An inspiration to subsequent generations of electronic artists, Tangerine Dream pioneered the ambient use of synthesizers in a rock format. Part of the German psychedelia ("krautrock") explosion of the late '60s/early '70s, the group mutated over the years to a more rhythmic sound, eventually providing soundtrack music for many films.
