50 Years of Phaedra (Vinyl)
TANGERINE DREAM – 50 YEARS OF PHAEDRA: AT THE BARBICAN A COMMEMORATIVE PERFORMANCE AT LONDON’S BARBICAN TO HONOUR 50 YEARS OF THE GROUNDBREAKING ALBUM 3LP GATEFOLD EDITION WITH 8-PAGE BOOKLET, PRESSED ON CLASSIC BLACK VINYL
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 & Peter
Baumann - crafted ‘Phaedra’, an album that shimmered with innovation, mystery & 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. Across its three vinyl LPs, ‘50 Years Of Phaedra: At The Barbican’ captures this transcendent live performance, in which the current line-up - Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane & Paul Frick - revisit the spirit of ‘Phaedra’ with the very tools that Froese & his collaborators helped pioneer.
“the best synth band in the world” THE NEW YORK TIMES
Part of Phaedra’s magic lay in its imperfections: the original sequences were never truly quantised, their timing
drifting unpredictably through the Moog’s analogue circuitry. That subtle instability became part of its charm –
a human pulse within the machine - yet it long left current bandleader Thorsten Quaeschning intrigued by what a fully realised version might reveal. Now, fifty years later, Tangerine Dream have revisited the work with the precision that technology once denied them. ‘50 Years Of Phaedra: At The Barbican’ is the first time ‘Phaedra’ has been performed fully quantised, each motif beautifully aligned with a crystalline precision previously unheard.
For over five decades, Tangerine Dream have stood as pioneers of electronic sound, shaping the evolution of ambient, film & synthesiser music. Founded in Berlin in 1967 by Edgar Froese, the group became synonymous with the “Berlin School” of electronic composition, influencing generations of artists from Jean-Michel Jarre & Depeche Mode to Radiohead & M83. Their vast catalogue spans over a hundred albums, including acclaimed film scores for ‘Sorcerer’, ‘Risky Business’ & ‘Firestarter’ & countless live performances that redefined what electronic music could be on stage. Universally recognised for their visionary approach to texture, atmosphere & technology, Tangerine Dream remain one of the most innovative & iconic forces in modern music.
This 3LP edition of ‘50 Years Of Phaedra: At The Barbican’ is presented on triple black vinyl inside a gatefold sleeve & includes an 8-page printed booklet.
