Tangerine Dream - 50 Years Of Phaedra: At The Barbican [CD]

Part of Phaedra's magic lay in its imperfections: the original sequences were never truly quantised, their timing drifting unpredictably through the Moog's analogue circuitry. That subtle instability became part of its charm - a 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.
