Album Notes & Community Reviews
Functioning as a terrifyingly beautiful, incredibly massive double album exploration of deep-space isolation, 'Zeit' is a foundational pillar of dark ambient music. Tangerine Dream completely abandons rhythmic structures for glacial, profoundly hypnotic synthesizer drones, creating an intensely atmospheric, wonderfully mysterious, and deeply meditative progressive electronic void.
