Force Majeure (1969) by Tangerine DreamTangerine Dream is a German electronica group formed in 1967. To write a full biography on them is too extensive for this post, so I shall only focus on the album.
This album is great. If you ever like Pink Floyd or Kraftwerk, I am sure you will dig this. The music is fully instrumental, the textures and atmospheres are given with such warmth and mystery. The album's title track "Force Majeure" runs for about 18 minutes and 23 seconds, but it's worth the listen. You will hear tender sounds of isolated strings mixed in with other electronic sound ensembles, as each track flows beautifully from one to the next. The album contains two other tracks: "Cloudburst Flight" and "Through Metamorphic Rocks." During this time, most electronic albums are only to be heard in-house, and thus the music is meant to be either ambient or remakes of classical music. Jean-Michelle Jarre, Isao Tomita, Robert Gleason, and Walter (Wendy) Carlos are other composers who contributed to this style of electronica. So give this track a try, even though it is long. But I'm sure the listen will be relaxing and fill you up with curiosity along the way.
