Tangerine Dream's "Phaedra" was released on Feb 20, 1974. We'll be celebrating it on Echoes with a special feature of musicians looking back on Phaedra's influence including Moby, Ulrich Schnauss, Mark Shreeve, Steve Roach, Ian Boddy and Robert Rich. That's on Thursday, Feb 20. And tonight we'll feature a live performance by one of Tangerine Dream's musical children, Vic Hennegan. http://wp.me/pgATL-2Jr
You could argue which of the four classic era albums, Phaedra, Rubycon, Ricochet or Stratosfear is the best, and that's been done a few times on this list, but there's no doubt that Phaedra was the first in establishing the classic sequencer sound that's behind everything from Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" to most techno and electronica albums today.
