Tangerine Dream - ‘Phaedra’ / ‘Mysterious Strand At The Semblance Of Nightmares’ tangerine vinyl seven-inch
This month's Electronic Sound cover feature is the fascinating story of Tangerine Dream's 'Phaedra' album, the band's groundbreaking 1974 release. Electronic music wasn't anything particularly new by this point, but the sequencer-fuelled soundscapes was electronic music as it had never been heard before.
To accompany the issue, we have an orange vinyl seven-inch featuring edits of two key tracks from 'Phaedra' – the much acclaimed title cut and the equally brilliant ‘Mysterious Semblance At The Strand Of Nightmares’. Both glittering analogue gems, they showcase the Berlin group at their peak. When ‘Phaedra’ came out in America, Virgin Records put edits of these same two tracks back-to-back on a promo-only single that was mailed out to a small number of journalists, radio DJs and store owners. The promo has been one of Tangerine Dream’s rarest records for many decades.
As with all our music releases, this record is strictly limited and only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so be sure to order your copy right away.
