About this album

Ricochet is a landmark of Tangerine Dream’s Berlin-school electronics, pushing sequencing, texture and improvisation into a more expansive live form. Issued in 1975, it captures the trio of Edgar Froese, Chris Franke and Peter Baumann at a pivotal point, with side-length performances that balance pulsing synthesiser patterns, organ drones and abstract tape treatments. The album helped define the group’s reputation beyond Germany and became one of the key records linking experimental rock, ambient music and electronic minimalism. Its flowing structures and sense of movement made it a reference point for later ambient and electronic artists, while still retaining the edge of a live performance.
