CD Tangerine Dream – Tyger

Experience a unique fusion of classic literature and pioneering electronics with the 2000 Castle Music reissue of Tangerine Dream’s Tyger.

Originally released in 1987, Tyger represents a bold departure for the legendary electronic ensemble. Inspired by the visionary poetry of William Blake, the album features the striking vocals of Jocelyn B. Smith. This collaboration resulted in a sound that is more streamlined and polished than their earlier improvisational works, bridgeing the gap between the atmospheric experimentation of the past and the melodic, "electronic pop poetry" that defined their late-80s era.

Under the influence of members Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, and Paul Haslinger, the compositions range from the moody, spoken-word textures of "London" to the refined, "modern-day classical" echoes found in "Alchemy of the Heart." This remastered CD edition from Castle Music includes the bonus tracks "21st Century Common Man (Parts 1 & 2)," providing a deeper look into the band’s evolving sonic architecture.
