Album Notes THE BOOTLEG BOX SET VOL. 2 includes live shows recorded between 1976 & 1981. Inlcudes liner notes by Paul Russell. Electronic music pioneers Tangerine Dream started out as one of the premier spacey krautrock bands of the late 1960s/early ?70s, but over countless releases and dizzying personnel changes, they eventually came closer to a New Age-flavored sound. This five-disc live box set captures the group in their middle period, covering the years 1976 to '83. During this time, they retained the moody, atmospheric sound of their earliest albums, but were beginning to incorporate glossier, more crystalline synth sounds. In short, they were getting ready to make the jump from analog to digital. Despite popular assumptions, though, TD's stylistic progression was less linear than some would suggest. For instance, there are rhythmic patterns floating through the electronic clouds of the ?76 performance that almost suggest proto-techno, while the ?83 concert opens with a lengthy ambient section that wouldn't have sounded out of place on 1971's ALPHA CENTAURI. Confounding expectations has never exactly been anathema for these Teutonic trailblazers.
