Description
What began as an experimental session at Richard Branson's Manor Studios in Oxfordshire became a seismic event in modern sound. Using the Moog sequencer for the first time, Tangerine Dream - then comprised of Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke and Peter Baumann - crafted Phaedra, an album that shimmered with innovation, mystery & a palpable sense of discovery.
Half a century later, Tangerine Dream returned to London's Barbican to honour that landmark work - reimagining 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 and Paul Frick - revisit the spirit of Phaedra with the very tools that Froese and his collaborators helped pioneer.
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.
