Alpha Centauri (with bonus tracks)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 581047) PDU/Esoteric (UK), 1971 — Condition: New Copy

The early 70s psych synth travels of Tangerine Dream! At this early point, the group is soaring from thick, eerie layers of organ atmospheres, to far trippier synth washes – and with some pummeling, drum-heavy passages. Alpha Centauri is a bit of a formative effort, but a worthy one – as Tangerine Dream is developing their own unique realm of the cosmos. Slow-building tension pays off with dense, riveting peaks! Includes "Sunrise in the Third System", "Fly And Collision Off Comas Sola" and the long "Alpha Centauri". This 2011 CD edition includes 3 bonus tracks: "Oszillator Planet Concert" recorded at the 3rd Internationales Musicforum Ossiachersee, Ossiach, Austria on June 29, 1971, plus the A & B single sides "Ultima Thule Part One" and "Ultima Thule Part Two".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
