Synopsis

Album Description

CD reissue of this title from the innovative German Electronica outfit, one of the most influential instrumental outfits of the 20th century. Tangerine Dream has never produced anything calculated to make the masses jump off their chairs and start screaming Top 40 tunes, but they have managed to have an immense impact in the world of Electronic and soundtrack music. Their 107 (and counting) studio, live and soundtrack releases have their own driving hypnotic pieces that might differ from release to release, but they are all uniquely Tangerine Dream. Document. 2009.

CD Reviews

Not for all TD fans

Crusader Rabbit | Arizona | 04/29/2005

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Of two things you can be certain: 1. When Tangerine Dream releases new material I will buy it and 2. If it includes vocals I won't like it. Consequently I dislike this album."

Pushing the Envelope and Suceeding

J. Lyda | Raleigh, North Carolina | 07/25/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Purgatorio" is a continuation of the project which spawned "Inferno." I found Inferno to be rough sledding, and could only give it 3 stars, one of which was for simple adventurous. This double CD set is different. The opening tracks really cook, and they keep on cooking. It slows alittle in the middle, but picks up again at the close. The women who sing in many differnt and beautiful voices fit perfectly with TD's masterful music. I've played if over and over, and am playing it as I write. For me this set suceeds in the many ways the Inferno seemed to suffer. TD deserves credit for reaching deeper into the complex of musical possibilities, including the wondrous diversity of the female human voice. This band has worked hard and has earned my trust. On Purgatorio they score and place a marker at the edge of aural experience which embraces both electronic and human textures. I am thankful."

Disapointing

"I am a great fan of Tangerine Dream's music from the 70's.

This double CD is different, and like in previous cases in which vocal music is included, the results are less than expected.

There are some nice TD electronic pieces, but in all it is disapointing.

From the more recent albums, Mota Atma is much more in the classic TD spirit."
