50 Years Of Phaedra - At The Barbican [CD]

Two CD set includes 12-page booklet. 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 honor 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 & Paul Frick - revisit the spirit of 'Phaedra' with the very tools that Froese & his collaborators helped pioneer.
