Phaedra
Tangerine Dream

My first time listening to Tangerine Dream was like the musical version of taking random research chemicals. I did not know what to expect but I was blown away. Coming into this album, I knew what to expect. I wouldn't call their albums 'albums' per se but a soundscape to a really funky daydream you're about to have. It makes sense that these guys do soundtracks because they know how to set the stage for a story with their music. Phaedra is no different, to me this is like sitting down and watching a sci-fi movie in my head, I absolutely love it. Tangerine Dream composed and performed probably my favourite movie soundtracks of all time for (probably my favourite movie) Michael Mann's 1981 debut feature film Thief. It was nominated a razzie for worst movie soundtrack. The group were maligned at the time and reading the global reviews here are still maligned. I can understand not enjoying this type of music, but for me this is my jam. Highlights: All
