You are purchasing: EDGAR FROESE (TANGERINE DREAM) ORIGINAL IMPORT (UK) 4-track CD with inserts in jewel case (VIRGIN CDV 2016) [ ALBUM NOTES: TANGERINE DREAM 's founder EDGAR FROESE launched his solo career in the year Tangerine Dream got their contract with the British record label Virgin. The only continuing member of the pioneering synthesizer group Tangerine Dream, Edgar Froese also proved to be one of the most ambitious in releasing solo albums alongside the voluminous output of the band. Considered a master of the Mellotron, the early keyboard device (made famous by the Moody Blues ) that produced its sound through key-activated tape loops of actual recordings of orchestras, choirs and other acoustic sounds. Though it still drew from TD's trademark sequencer sound, Froese's solo recordings have a more direct and personal quality, and often feature his penchant for rock-style guitar work. Even while Tangerine Dream was releasing career classics Phaedra and Rubycon during 1974-75, Froese began his solo career with the two records Aqua and Epsilon in Malaysian Pale , quite similar in style to contemporary work by Tangerine Dream. During the rest of the '70s, Froese released four more solo albums during TD's breaks, followed in 1983 by Pinnacles . By that point, Froese was the undisputed leader of Tangerine Dream and could release material which would have appeared as solo work during the previous decade. The 1995 Virgin collection Beyond the Storm summed up his solo career. His debut album AQUA was recorded in winter 1973/74 in Berlin at the same time Tangerine Dream's debut Phaedra was recorded in England.The solo debut from the leader of Tangerine Dream is a set of four synthesizer pieces, free-form and pastoral. The lengthy title track is quite naturalistic, organized around a series of synth bubbles and water sounds, while "NGC 891" reflects Froese's interest in space rock. — John Bush.] TITLED: AQUA AQUA (16:58) PANORPHELIA (9:38) NGC 891 (14:50) UPLAND (6”31) Please NOTE: Although I am a “collector” (not a retailer) of music CD , LP , and magazines with special interests in Alternative, East Indian and Electronic synthesis; Buyer pays shipping: First Class $2.50 or PRIORITY USPS $4.80 (insurance optional : $1.7) within Continental US PLEASE NOTE we are not responsible for lost or damaged packages that are not insured by the buyer once they are shipped.
