(2021) Tangerine Dream - Pergamon (1981, Reissue) [FLAC]


Review:
Pergamon is a live album that was recorded at the Palast der Republik, East Berlin on January 31st, 1980. It was the first concert in East Germany given by Western musicians, which makes it a historical curio, at the very least. However, Pergamon is also a valuable musical document, capturing Tangerine Dream at their most accessible, but without sacrificing their experimentalism. It’s not a bad place for neophytes to begin. The documented performance was one of the first by a western band in East Germany and earned Tangerine Dream many new fans in Eastern Europe. Featuring a line-up of Edgar Froese, Chris Franke and newly recruited member Johannes Schmoelling, the album was originally released in East Germany in 1981 under the title “Quichotte” and later released outside of East Germany under the title “Pergamon” (after the impressive museum in East Berlin).
