A touching eulogy. Tangerine Dream were one of my first krautrock loves, back in late '95 and early '96 when I was using Cope's krautrocksampler to introduce me to the genre. TD were just so vast, and so fucking eternal!! I had never heard anything like that before. I remember late nights listening to TD at low volume in my bedroom in my parent's house and being literally transported into another world. I remember playing "Wahn" for my mom and my friends and getting weird looks. I remember listening to "Birth of Liquid Plejades" for the first time and crying when Florian Fricke's melody appears - it comes in at the absolutely perfect time, with emotionally devastating effect. (I've still only heard the Sequel CD version of Zeit, though.) I followed the TD trail with diminishing returns up though Hyperborea and then Green Desert. In my mind, TD stopped there, leaving this world for the ethereal.
