Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear (1976)

The seventh album from this band from Germany.

The band was a trio with a lineup of percussion, bass, guitars, grand piano, mellotron, moog, organ, harpsichord, birotron and mouth organ.

This is the final album by the Baumann/Froese/Franke lineup. That does not tells me much as I am not a fan of this band or know this band.

Electronic music is not a genre I really like. But since this is one of the bigger bands in the prog rock genre, I am reviewing some of their albums this winter.

The music here is surprisingly dynamic with a lot of pretty interesting melodic themes. There is a very good flute like sound through this album too. 

The title track is actually a good piece of music. The rest is not much worse either.

To my surprise...... This is a good album and one I enjoy a lot. 

This is a good album and their best so far. Even those with a sceptical view on this genre should check out this album.
