✚ merging from the tumultuous West Berlin scene of the late 1960s, Tangerine Dream, spearheaded by the late Edgar Froese, transcended its Krautrock and psychedelic origins to become an undisputed pillar of electronic music, a foundational force that would essentially invent the subgenre known as the Berlin School. The group's initial phase, often dubbed the "Pink Years," was defined by raw, experimental tape-collage works like Electronic Meditation, but their move to Virgin Records in the mid-1970s marked a spectacular and defining shift towards synthesizers and sequencers, cementing the classic trio lineup of Froese, Christopher Franke, and Peter Baumann. Their 1974 breakthrough album, Phaedra, was a pivotal milestone, one of the most important and exciting electronic albums ever, primarily for its innovative and widespread use of the Moog sequencer to create hypnotic, pulsating rhythmic patterns, a technique that would profoundly influence ambient, new age, and electronic dance music for decades to come. Phaedra was swiftly followed by the equally lauded Rubycon in 1975, which refined the signature sound into expansive, cinematic soundscapes and achieved a higher chart position in the UK, further establishing the band's penchant for lengthy, non-traditional compositions that eschewed pop song structures in favor of texture and sonic exploration. Beyond their studio albums, Tangerine Dream became synonymous with the electronic film score, virtually inventing the genre as we know it by composing over 60 soundtracks for high-profile films including Sorcerer, Thief, and the hugely influential Risky Business in the 1980s, effectively pushing the electronic domain into Hollywood and demonstrating its immense capacity for dramatic storytelling. Throughout their five-decade career, which saw countless lineup changes—though Froese remained the constant creative visionary until his death in 2015—the band's prolific output, often revolving around conceptual themes of space, physics, and the metaphysical, has continued to inspire generations, proving the enduring power of their "cosmic music" to combat gravity, as Froese famously quipped, and map out the limitless possibilities of the electronic sound frontier, leaving a legacy of over one hundred studio albums and numerous Grammy nominations.

脡mergeant de la sc猫ne tumultueuse de Berlin-Ouest 脿 la fin des ann茅es 1960, Tangerine Dream, men茅 par le regrett茅 Edgar Froese, a transcend茅 ses origines Krautrock et psych茅d茅liques pour devenir un pilier incontest茅 de la musique 茅lectronique, une force fondatrice qui inventera essentiellement le sous-genre connu sous le nom d'脡cole de Berlin. La phase initiale du groupe, souvent surnomm茅e les « Ann茅es Roses », 茅tait d茅finie par des 艙uvres brutes de collage sur bande exp茅rimentales comme Electronic Meditation, mais leur passage chez Virgin Records au milieu des ann茅es 1970 marqua un changement spectaculaire et d茅cisif vers les synth茅tiseurs et les s茅quenceurs, cimentant le trio classique compos茅 de Froese, Christopher Franke et Peter Baumann. Leur album r茅volutionnaire de 1974, Phaedra, fut une 茅tape cruciale, l'un des albums 茅lectroniques les plus importants et les plus excitants de tous les temps, principalement pour son utilisation novatrice et g茅n茅ralis茅e du s茅quenceur Moog pour cr茅er des motifs rythmiques hypnotiques et puls茅s, une technique qui allait influencer profond茅ment la musique ambient, le new age et la musique 茅lectronique de danse pour les d茅cennies 脿 venir. Phaedra fut rapidement suivi par l'album tout aussi acclam茅 Rubycon en 1975, qui affina le son embl茅matique en des paysages sonores 茅tendus et cin茅matographiques et atteignit un classement plus 茅lev茅 au Royaume-Uni, 茅tablissant davantage le penchant du groupe pour les compositions longues et non traditionnelles qui 茅vitaient les structures de chansons pop au profit de la texture et de l'exploration sonore. Au-del脿 de leurs albums studio, Tangerine Dream devint synonyme de la bande originale 茅lectronique, inventant pratiquement le genre tel que nous le connaissons en composant plus de 60 partitions pour des films de premier plan, notamment Sorcerer, Thief, et le tr猫s influent Risky Business dans les ann茅es 1980, poussant efficacement le domaine 茅lectronique 脿 Hollywood et d茅montrant son immense capacit茅 脿 raconter des histoires dramatiques. Tout au long de leur carri猫re de cinq d茅cennies, qui a connu d'innombrables changements de formation—bien que Froese soit rest茅 le visionnaire cr茅atif constant jusqu'脿 sa mort en 2015—la production prolifique du groupe, souvent centr茅e sur des th猫mes conceptuels d'espace, de physique et de m茅taphysique, a continu茅 d'inspirer des g茅n茅rations, prouvant le pouvoir durable de leur « musique cosmique » 脿 combattre la gravit茅, comme Froese l'a c茅l猫brement plaisant茅, et 脿 cartographier les possibilit茅s illimit茅es de la fronti猫re sonore 茅lectronique, laissant un h茅ritage de plus de cent albums studio et de nombreuses nominations aux Grammy Awards.
