Review: Tangerine Dream has always been one of electronic music's most prolific acts. Even so, it still seems crazy that this vast box set - the latest in an ongoing series profiling their work for Virgin Records - only focuses on four years of their lengthy, ongoing career. As you'd expect, it boasts freshly re-mastered versions of six albums initially released between 180 and '83 (Tangram, Thief, Exit, White Eagle, Logos and Hyperborea), plus previously unreleased soundtracks to two movies (The Soldier and The Keeper), a swathe of unreleased concert recordings and various bonus tracks. It's an absolute treat for fans of the synthesizer-driven krautrockers, with the accompanying hardback book providing plenty to read and look at while you work your way through almost half a day's worth of music.

Review: Given the sheer volume of material made and released by kosmiche and krautrock pioneers Tangerine Dream throughout their career, it's perhaps fitting that this staggeringly epic box contains well over 24 hours of music. It focuses on the synthesizer-wielding German band's pioneering period in the 1970s, combining re-mastered versions of seven studio albums (some with additional 5.1 surround sound mixes by Steven Wilson) with no less than eight discs of previously unreleased material. This includes outtakes, unheard tracks, alternate versions, multiple recordings of legendary live shows and the band's near-mythical "Oedipus Tyrannus" soundtrack - something that will delight fans if Tangerine Dream forums are anything to go by. If that's not enough to set the pulse racing, the box also boasts a heavy hardback book and two Blu-Ray discs.
