Tangerine Dream - Raum (2022)

 

The 150th or so album from this band from Germany.

The band was a trio with a lineup of violin and synths.

 Edgar Froese passed on in 2015 and the albums thereafter was either archive material, scetches or music inspired by Edgar Froese recorded and released under the name of Tangerine Dream.

None of the members here was ever involved in Tangerine Dream when Edgar Froese was alive. A bit suspect and immoral, but.... well, I leave that to the fans and experts on this band. 

This album is seventy minutes long. Parts of this album is a long dirge with not much variations going on. Other parts is more uplifting and sunny. The music is at times pretty organic. 

This also sounds like a Tangerine Dream album to me. Experts may disagree with me about this.

The violin adds a lot to this album and the music is not bad at all. This is also the final Tangerine Dream album up for review this year and probably in the coming years. I am still not a fan of the band and this genre. A genre I am avoiding as much as possible. But Edgar Froese & co has my full respect. They left a great legacy.
