The eight album from this band from Germany.
The band was a trio with a lineup of guitars, grand piano, organ, moog, mellotron, keyboards and synths.
This album is the soundtrack to a film released that year by William Friedkin. It is an action thriller movie which still has some fans. A lengthy Wikipedia story about the movie can be found here.
This is the first of the many movie soundtracks Tangerine Dream did during their career. Their music is generally well suited for movie soundtracks and it did not come as a surprise to me that they were a popular supplier of sounds and music to movie soundtracks.
This album is three quarters of an hour long and has some good mellotron based pieces and some other pieces which are not that good.
Edgar Froese and Peter Baumann was the two main men here and they deliver their pieces pretty well.
The music is still pretty ambient and electronic. There is not much happening here but nevertheless... this is a decent enough album and should interest those into ambient electronic music and movie soundtracks.
I am yet to be converted to this band and genre. Something this album has failed to do.
