More than 30 concerts in Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, England and Scotland were accomplished. It was released in October, and at the same time the band went on a big tour throughout Europe to promote the album. In August 1976, Tangerine Dream went to the Audio studio in Berlin to record what would become the album Stratosfear. On the other hand, Peter Baumann used a new Project electronic rhythm computer which gave the percussive sequences a very dry, precise finish.Īccording to Edgar Froese, Stratosfear was the most complicated and nerve-wrecking of any TD production, as there were lots of technical problems with the equipment as well as a number of musical problems amongst the group about which tracks were to be chosen. Besides the well-known instrumentation of mellotron and moog synthesisers, Tangerine Dream surprised their listeners with their use of acoustic instruments like harpsichord, acoustic guitars, grand piano and mouth organ. That year Virgin had re-released the early TD records Electronic Meditation (1970), Alpha Centauri (1971), Zeit (1972) and Atem (1973), but the most important news was the August recording of Stratosfear (note the play on words!) at Audio Studios in Berlin. In summer 1976 Peter Baumann recorded his first solo album Romance 76, being quite different from TD's music of that period.
