This line-up remained stable until the mid-1980s, as the group shifted toward more rhythmic textures. Johannes Schmölling would join for Tangram. Force Majeure was the classic of this period. After Baumann's departure in 1978, TD experimented with the formula on Cyclone, which saw the addition of Steve Jolliffe, adding vocals and woodwinds and Klaus Krüger on drums. One highlight of the Virgin period was Sorcerer, a soundtrack to the film of the same name. Michael Hoenig temporarily replaced Baumann for an Australian tour in 1975. Compositions were long, melodic, pulsing pieces. Understated, droning keyboard and guitar melodies intertwined with ambient washes of reverberating electronic textures, utilizing synthesizers and sequencers, was typical of the TD sound. The core of Froese, Franke and Baumann would sign to Virgin Records in 1973, and the subsequent release Phaedra would cement their style for years to come. Although unissued until the mid-1980s, Green Desert was recorded in 1973. Second album, Alpha Centauri, saw the addition of long-standing member Christopher Franke replacing Schulze, while Peter Baumann would come aboard for Zeit. Both Schnitzler and Schulze would depart after this album, with the latter forming Ash Ra Tempel and going on to become the other major proponent of the "Berlin School". Electronic Meditation is perhaps a misnomer traditional instrumentation of organ, drums, guitar, cello, flute were hardly electronic and "freak out jamming" is the more appropriate adjective, reflecting the confluence of Twentieth Century avant-garde music. Their compositions, or rather experimental improvisations, had roots in the psychedelia of London albeit with the "krautrock" twist. By the early 1980s, TD was primarily releasing influential soundtrack work, before settling into New Age content by mid-decade.įormed in Berlin in 1967, the initial line up (on their first release Electronic Meditation) included Edgar Froese, Conrad Schnitzler (cello) and Klaus Schulze (drums). By the late Seventies, however, line-ups, and more importantly, the formula changed, tilting towards more conventional "rock" music. At the height of their success - during the mid to late 1970s - the Dream's spacey, pulsing music earned them a tenacious cult following. From their "free-rock" beginnings in the nascent "krautrock" scene to the eventual synthesizer-based trio which signed to Virgin, this German group can take significant credit in introducing synthesizer- and sequencer-based electronic music to most of the Western rock world.
