Description
TANGERINE DREAM - FROM VIRGIN TO QUANTUM YEARS: COVENTRY CATHEDRAL 22 - 3CD + BLU-RAY SET HOUSED IN A 48-PAGE HARDBACK EARBOOK, FEATURING COMPREHENSIVE LINER NOTES, HIGH-RES & 5 1 SURROUND AUDIO & FULL VIDEO RECORDING OF THE PERFORMANCE.

In 1974, Tangerine Dream--then composed of Edgar Froese, Peter Baumann & Christopher Franke--performed a now legendary concert set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Coventry Cathedral. Nearly fifty years later, the current incarnation of the band--Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane & Paul Frick--returned to that same sacred space in 2022 to perform a monumental 'From Virgin To Quantum Years' set, bridging eras in a performance that reflects the band's extraordinary & ceaseless evolution.

Reflecting on that experience, Thorsten Quaeschning shared: "After 2022, following the intense COVID years during which we wrote the album 'Raum', the Coventry Cathedral concert became a key moment in reconnecting different parts of Tangerine Dream's story with the present. Playing in that same cathedral created an atmosphere that was simply unique."

Spanning three audio CD's & a Blu-ray, this deluxe set presents the full concert--a sweeping setlist that reaches back to Virgin Years classics like 'Stratosfear', 'Cloudburst Flight' & 'Love On A Real Train', while also drawing from more recent Quantum material such as 'Raum' & 'Continuum'. Several pieces are performed with special guest Steve Rothery (Marillion), whose guitar work threads itself into the band's electronic textures to create a fascinating new dimension. The Blu-ray features a video recording of the concert, high-res stereo & 5.1 surround sound audio, plus a bonus interview on the band's creative process & vision.

"the best synth band in the world" THE NEW YORK TIMES

Coventry Cathedral stands as a symbol of transformation & resilience, with its towering spire representing both a rich history & a modern rebirth--qualities that parallel the evolution of Tangerine Dream. With a legacy that includes multiple Grammy nominations, a vast catalogue of groundbreaking albums & an iconic body of film scores, they continue to stand as pioneers in their field, with the torch passed from founder Edgar Froese to his protege & current bandleader, Thorsten Quaeschning, after Froese's passing in 2015.

Reflecting on the band's return to the cathedral nearly five decades after the original performance, Quaeschning noted: "The 2022 tour also marked the beginning of a new chapter--more concerts, more people discovering the band live & an incredibly rewarding experience with a fantastic crew. This project means so much to me that I never even consider having a Plan B. I'm just looking forward to more releases, more concerts & new studio albums to come."

Presented in a 48-page hardback Earbook filled with imagery & reflective liner notes written by music journalist Chris Wheatley, 'From Virgin To Quantum Years: Coventry Cathedral 22' is a carefully composed artefact that captures Tangerine Dream's legendary past, a reimagined present & the evolving outlines of futures yet to come.
