Tangerine Dream - Zeit (1972)

The third album from this band from Germany.

The band was a trio on this album with a lineup of organ, glissando guitars, electronics and keyboards.

Some guests added cello, organ and moog on this album.

I have to admit that progressive electronic is my least favourite genre within the big progressive rock family. But it is difficult, not to say impossible, to bypass this band. Hence my reviews of a dozen or so of their albums.

We get four pieces of electronic ambient pieces here. They are all around or just short of twenty minutes each. This means a seventy-six minutes long album, originally released on a double LP.

The first piece of music, Birth Of Liquid Plejades, has some cello and atonal guitars. It is by far the best piece here and bordering to being a good track. Piece no two and three is pretty dire while the closing piece of music is decent enough.

The result is a decent enough album which does not change my opinion about this genre. It is also the least interesting album of their first three albums.
