What began as an experimental session at\u003cbr\u003eRichard Branson’s Manor Studios in Oxfordshire became a seismic event in modern sound. Using the Moog\u003cbr\u003esequencer for the first time, Tangerine Dream - then comprised of Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke \u0026amp; Peter\u003cbr\u003eBaumann - crafted ‘Phaedra’, an album that shimmered with innovation, mystery \u0026amp; a palpable sense of discovery.\u003cbr\u003eHalf a century later, Tangerine Dream returned to London’s Barbican to honour that landmark work -\u003cbr\u003ereimagining 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 \u0026amp; Paul Frick - revisit the spirit of ‘Phaedra’ with the very tools that Froese \u0026amp; his collaborators helped pioneer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“the best synth band in the world” THE NEW YORK TIMES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart of Phaedra’s magic lay in its imperfections: the original sequences were never truly quantised, their timing\u003cbr\u003edrifting unpredictably through the Moog’s analogue circuitry. That subtle instability became part of its charm –\u003cbr\u003ea 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor over five decades, Tangerine Dream have stood as pioneers of electronic sound, shaping the evolution of ambient, film \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; Depeche Mode to Radiohead \u0026amp; M83. Their vast catalogue spans over a hundred albums, including acclaimed film scores for ‘Sorcerer’, ‘Risky Business’ \u0026amp; ‘Firestarter’ \u0026amp; countless live performances that redefined what electronic music could be on stage. Universally recognised for their visionary approach to texture, atmosphere \u0026amp; technology, Tangerine Dream remain one of the most innovative \u0026amp; iconic forces in modern music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 3LP edition of ‘50 Years Of Phaedra: At The Barbican’ is presented on triple black vinyl inside a gatefold sleeve \u0026amp; includes an 8-page printed booklet.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40427321426121,"sku":"470614","price":131.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/470614-Product-0-I-639051696603599311.jpg?v=1769572925","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/vinyl-tangerine-dream-50-years-of-phaedra-vinyl-3lp","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
