"Originally release in 1994, this lavish 5 CD Box Set defines the classic Tangerine Dream sound and forms the basis of their reputation. Remastered and rerecorded by Froese himself, Tangents contains all the essential recordings from the groundbreaking trio's 1973-83 Virgin recordings: Phaedra, Rubycon, Force Majeure, Stratosfear, Tangram, and Richochet. Pioneering the use of early synthesizers, the music is, by turns, foreboding and uplifting, majestic and cinematic. As Edgar Froese, the driving force behing the German trio says, "Tangerine Dream's music has only switched on the projector of your own personal dream." 

Whilst obviously perfectly suited for the ardent fan, complete with a sumptuously designed booklet and an extra disc of previously unreleased Edgar Froese material, this box set serves equally well as the definitive introduction for new listeners"
