In 1974, Phaedra redefined the landscape of electronic music.
What began as an experimental session at Richard Branson’s Manor Studios in Oxfordshire became a seismic event in modern sound.
Using the Moog sequencer for the first time, Tangerine Dream - then comprised of Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke, and Peter Baumann - crafted Phaedra, an album that shimmered with innovation, mystery and a palpable sense of discovery. Half a century later, Tangerine Dream returned to London’s Barbican to honour that landmark work - reimagining it for a new era. ‘50 Years of Phaedra: At the Barbican’ captures this transcendent live performance, in which the current line-up - Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane, and Paul Frick - revisit the spirit of Phaedra with the very tools that Froese and his collaborators helped pioneer.
This album has arrived and is excellent!
This concert is particularly good too:
