About this album

Phaedra is the breakthrough album that turned Tangerine Dream into pioneers of electronic music. Released in 1974, it marked a decisive move into the sequencer-driven Berlin School style, built from drifting synthesiser layers, pulsing patterns and long-form improvisation. The title track, alongside pieces such as Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares and Sequent C’, helped establish a new language for cosmic, meditative sound that influenced ambient, krautrock and later electronic artists alike. Widely regarded as one of the group’s essential works, it remains a cornerstone of early synthesiser music and a key statement in 1970s experimental rock.

Genre: Pop & Rock
