TANGERINE DREAM’S THE ANGEL OF THE WEST WINDOW NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME
10th July 2024 0 By Jon DeauxOriginally released between 2011 and 2013, Tangerine Dream’s Sonic Poem Series marks a significant highlight in the band’s storied history. Previously only available on CD, Tangerine Dream’s Sonic Poems Series will now be released through the Kscope label as a series of remastered vinyl releases.
Now the second in that series – Gustav Meyrink’s The Angel of the West Window – is released on a double vinyl gatefold LP with newly remastered audio and exclusive etchings on side D.
Inspired by the timeless works of literary giants such as Edgar Allan Poe and Franz Kafka, the Sonic Poems Series brings to life the evocative and profound atmospheres of their novels through a unique fusion of progressive electronic music and classic literature.
Founded in 1967 by the late Edgar Froese, the legendary electronic German group Tangerine Dream has released more than 100 albums in an extraordinary career spanning seven decades. Often referenced as a leading light in the Krautrock movement of the late ’60s, Tangerine Dream’s prolific output has earned them seven Grammy nominations since 1967 for both their own studio releases and the equally remarkable film, television, and videogame soundtracks that they have released, of which there are over 50.
Amongst these is 2011’s The Angel of the West Window – a haunting nine-track fever dream recorded at Vienna’s Eastgate Studios and produced by Froese, inspired by Austrian author Gustav Meyrink’s 1927 occult classic The Angel of the West Window.
Heralded as ‘the best synth band in the world’ by the New York Times, Tangerine Dream’s The Angel of the West Window is one of the finest examples of the band’s signature sound – ethereal, often unnerving compositions that unfold gradually, building tension before releasing into moments of sublime beauty.
