Tangerine Dream is Ever Evolving: While Kraftwerk are often, quite rightly, credited with being electronic music pioneers, fellow Germans Tangerine Dream formed in 1967, a full three years before Kraftwerk. It's not a competition, but it is amazing when considering just how long ago these guys were pushing boundaries. Particularly in the '80s, their music could be heard on movies such as Firestarter and Legend, and TV shows like Street Hawk.

The lineup of Tangerine Dream is ever evolving. Band leader Peter Baumann once said that the concept of Tangerine Dream is stronger than the single musician, a bigger sum of the parts, and that is why Tangerine Dream could live forever. Every single musician's role was to be part of that concept and giving triggers out of their personal strengths."

When it comes to the current state of electronic music,
Tangerine Dream recently scored the Grand Theft Audio V game.

Looking ahead, Tangerine Dream has plenty planned for 2023.

"Beside the US/CA Tour we will be playing many concerts in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Romania, Hungary and perhaps Asia and South America. Our new album is roughly planned for 2024."
