Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 1977/ 2011 Here the new rematered version. Without any doubt the best soundtrack released by Tangerine Dream. With a relatively similar material used in the precedent record Stratosfear (concerning the keyboards and electronics: a lot of sequencers, mellotron and analog synthesizers), the members wrote a very dark and gloomy score. The main title is terrifying and throws the listener in a creepy adventure. This track is a great opening to what is coming next. Less experimental than the precedent title but as vibrant, the following tracks added one to an other create a long and epic journey throw the unknown. Globally less imperishable than others T.D. works, this record remains a good musical moment to discover. Composed and performed by Edgar Froese, Chris Franke & Peter Baumann. Music from the original soundtrack of a William Friedkin Film.
Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 1977/ 2014 In Copenhagen Tangerine Dream presented a real surprise release - a newly arranged soundtrack version of William Friedkin's film "SORCERER" from 1977 plus one hour of so far unreleased music which wasn't used in the film!! The band recorded that new version in a Viennese theatre shortly before the concert on the occasion of the Copenhagen Film Festival.
Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 1981 / 2022 Tangerine Dream's music for the cult horror film Strange Behavior. BSX Records presents the original film soundtrack of Strange "Behavoir aka Dead Kids" (1981) with music by Tangerine Dream
Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 1986 / 2022 LTD 500 This album, recorded in winter of 1984, just as the band came back from the Poland tour, was published years later by Silva Screen Records, without permission of the band. The latter perhaps did not plan to release the soundtrack, and therefore the musical material appearing on this CD is rather raw, without proper remix and mastering. Sound is unbalanced throughout the album, and editing is choppy indeed. What a difference in comparison to the officially released albums that were mastered by Tangerine Dream themselves!Musically, this album is the closest to its immediate predecessor, "Poland", and heavily borrows in theme from that recording. You might suppose that the best fragments were utilized on "The Park Is Mine", but no, actually, one fragment that is prominent on this album is taken from the very ending of the live album, "Poland", and that fragment is the weakest point of the latter, in fact the only weak point of that album. While it has some high points, the overall impression is quite that of mediocrity. According to Christopher Franke, the leading member of the band, they had only two weeks of free time in 1984, the rest spent in the recording studio, composing music for various movies they signed contracts for.
Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 1981/ 1995 The term "soundtrack" is at times used loosely, and this is the case here. While Tangerine Dream's music of course appears in the movie (which happens to be a little gem itself), the album is reworked quite a bit, and stands very much on it own. In spite of this, or perhaps as an uninteded result, the 1981 "Thief" album is the best soundtrack TD ever made. Things start off strong with "Beach Theme", a moody piece that sets the tone. (A longer version of this track reappears as "Beach Scene".) "Dr. Destructo" finds Edgar Froese in one of his guitar-whaling moods, but somehow it works. The next track is "Diamond Diary", the best of the album (the movie actually starts with excerpts from this). The 10 min. track starts tentatively, then builds up to a dizzying array of synths, and takes its times to play out the various layers of sounds. Just terrific! The remainder tracks are of a somewhat lesser quality, but still quite good, in particular "Trap Feeling". "Thief" is an important album for Tangerine Dream. Their second soundtrack (following "Sorcerer") cemented TD's status as one of the premier soundtrack providers for Hollywood. While the quality of the soundtracks would vary greatly, none would ever equal the sound and vision found on "Thief" again. This is the first version of the soundtrack release by Virgin, which has a different tracklisting than the Wounded Bird version.
Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 1998/ 2009 Transsiberia: The Russian Express Railway Experience is the soundtrack to a documentary of the same name. The electronic music score is by Tangerine Dream (Edgar Froese and Jerome Froese). Tangerine Dream soundtracks are seldom, if ever, middle of the road. They are either great works that stand alone well or they are complete flops when taken out of context. This is a great CD. The imagery is clear and vivid, the sway of the rhythm creates the feeling of being on a train, and the soundscapes are appropriately cold and aloof. Deep listeners will feel the isolation of Siberia and the aura of royalty in the Russian heritage. This is classic Berlin school electronica by the founders of the style. It is essential e-music.
Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 1999 / 2009 What a Blast: Architecture in Motion is another soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. It is for a documentary film of the same name. The film is about razing buildings and the power of explosions and implosions. Edgar Froese and Jerome Froese have created an appropriately dramatic and active soundscape to accompany the images and to create imagery. This is energetic Berlin school e-music. For fans of that style, this is a good disc. A detonating soundtrack for a really outstanding video series about "Architecture in motion". This release contains a bonus track.

Artist: Tangerine Dream P: 1986/ 1996 An Edgar Froese solo project billed as Tangerine Dream - he is the composer, producer, co-engineer and is responsible for all the instruments - the 13-track video soundtrack was released on January 25, 1996. The Movie was back from 1986. Jerome Froese is listed as a co-composer on two numbers - The Conspiracy and Missing Link - and a saxophone is featured throughout, though the sound is probably programmed on a synthesizer. Each track is complete, with the clockings between 3:08 and 5:56, which is a plus, considering the abbreviated numbers that appear on other TD soundtracks. Tangerine Dream was in a transition period as Edgar Froese was moving the group to its own label. Here the last copy!
Artist: Yanni, TD, Isham, u.a. P: 1994 Very good soundtracks out of movies from the 80s and the 90s. Played by the original musicians and some played by Daniel Caine and Mark Ayres.
