✚ 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.

Émergeant de la scène tumultueuse de Berlin-Ouest Ă  la fin des annĂ©es 1960, Tangerine Dream, menĂ© par le regrettĂ© Edgar Froese, a transcendĂ© ses origines Krautrock et psychĂ©dĂ©liques pour devenir un pilier incontestĂ© de la musique Ă©lectronique, une force fondatrice qui inventera essentiellement le sous-genre connu sous le nom d'École de Berlin. La phase initiale du groupe, souvent surnommĂ©e les « AnnĂ©es Roses », Ă©tait dĂ©finie par des Ĺ“uvres brutes de collage sur bande expĂ©rimentales comme Electronic Meditation, mais leur passage chez Virgin Records au milieu des annĂ©es 1970 marqua un changement spectaculaire et dĂ©cisif vers les synthĂ©tiseurs et les sĂ©quenceurs, cimentant le trio classique composĂ© de Froese, Christopher Franke et Peter Baumann. Leur album rĂ©volutionnaire de 1974, Phaedra, fut une Ă©tape cruciale, l'un des albums Ă©lectroniques les plus importants et les plus excitants de tous les temps, principalement pour son utilisation novatrice et gĂ©nĂ©ralisĂ©e du sĂ©quenceur Moog pour crĂ©er des motifs rythmiques hypnotiques et pulsĂ©s, une technique qui allait influencer profondĂ©ment la musique ambient, le new age et la musique Ă©lectronique de danse pour les dĂ©cennies Ă  venir. Phaedra fut rapidement suivi par l'album tout aussi acclamĂ© Rubycon en 1975, qui affina le son emblĂ©matique en des paysages sonores Ă©tendus et cinĂ©matographiques et atteignit un classement plus Ă©levĂ© au Royaume-Uni, Ă©tablissant davantage le penchant du groupe pour les compositions longues et non traditionnelles qui Ă©vitaient les structures de chansons pop au profit de la texture et de l'exploration sonore. Au-delĂ  de leurs albums studio, Tangerine Dream devint synonyme de la bande originale Ă©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 très influent Risky Business dans les annĂ©es 1980, poussant efficacement le domaine Ă©lectronique Ă  Hollywood et dĂ©montrant son immense capacitĂ© Ă  raconter des histoires dramatiques. Tout au long de leur carrière de cinq dĂ©cennies, qui a connu d'innombrables changements de formation—bien que Froese soit restĂ© le visionnaire crĂ©atif constant jusqu'Ă  sa mort en 2015—la production prolifique du groupe, souvent centrĂ©e sur des thèmes conceptuels d'espace, de physique et de mĂ©taphysique, a continuĂ© d'inspirer des gĂ©nĂ©rations, prouvant le pouvoir durable de leur « musique cosmique » Ă  combattre la gravitĂ©, comme Froese l'a cĂ©lèbrement plaisantĂ©, et Ă  cartographier les possibilitĂ©s illimitĂ©es de la frontière sonore Ă©lectronique, laissant un hĂ©ritage de plus de cent albums studio et de nombreuses nominations aux Grammy Awards.
