A good compilation from TD - this is a mass market version of a collection TD has released on their own label, just slightly expanded. Good quality music, some from the vintage era, some newer. Well worth the purchase.

I already have a huge Tangerine Dream collection, (over 300 CDs,) and I bought this boxed set just because I love this band so much. It comes in a very nice box with 2 CDs, a nice booklet, and a badge. I was very impressed when I received it, considering the price.

More importantly, when I played the CDs, I was most happy with the collection of tracks. Other than the very nice, albeit primitive early works of the band, there are a few treasures in this set, mainly, "The Seventh Folder." I can't get enough of this song! I find myself playing it over and over and over because it captures the essence of what I've always loved about Tangerine Dream! The sequences are hypnotic and Edgar Froese's harsh and crude electric guitar playing perfectly compliments the beat of the music. This is truly one of my favorite TD songs of all time!

Tangerine Dream's music has always been about contradiction and contrast; subjecting black against white, loud vs. quiet, peace vs. war. This set is no exception, and the more I listen to this collection of songs, the more I realize why I like TD so much.

If you're new to Tangerine Dream and simply want a "beginner's" set, I recommend this collection. If you're a serious TD collector, like me, I don't think you'll be disappointed. "The Seventh Folder" alone is worth the price of this collection...
