Tangerine Dream - Quantum Gate (2017)

 

The 100th (??) or so album from this band from Germany.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of bass, guitars, violin, keyboards and synths.

This album was the first album released in the Tangerine Dream name after the passing of Edgar Froese, the founder of this band. Hence it got some media attention, this album.

Edgar Froese features on this album. A seventy-five minutes long album.

The music is left overs and unfinished ideas from the last years of Edgar's life. 

The music is also light and fluffy ambient electronica with some elements of cinematic rock. 

The music is synths dominated with some pulsating bass driving the music forwards. There are some violins and guitars too.. but not enough of them. 

The music is decent enough and one can only wonder what would have happened to these pieces of music if Edgar had not passed on before these ideas was fully developed.
