Album Notes & Community Reviews
Shifting radically from the chaotic rock instrumentation of their debut, Tangerine Dream integrated synthesizers, flutes, and organs to invent 'kosmische musik'. 'Alpha Centauri' is a profoundly hypnotic, incredibly atmospheric exploration of space ambient Krautrock, utilizing wonderfully mysterious, deeply meditative electronic drones to forge a highly progressive, distinctly psychedelic soundscape.
