TANGERINE DREAM'S 'THE ANGEL OF THE WEST WINDOW' TO BE RELEASED ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIMELIMITED EDITION GATEFOLD DOUBLE VINYL LP, INCLUDES EXCLUSIVE SIDE 4 ETCHING

Founded in 1967 by the late Edgar Froese, legendary electronic German group 'Tangerine Dream' have released more than 100 albums in an extraordinary career spanning seven decades. Often referenced as a leading light in the Krautrock movement of the late 60's, Tangerine Dream's prolifc output has earned them seven Grammy nominations since 1967 for both their own studio releases & the equally remarkable flm, television & videogame soundtracks that they have released, of which there are over 50.

Amongst these is 2011's "The Angel Of The West Window" - a haunting nine-track
fever dream recorded at Vienna's Eastgate Studios & produced by Froese,
inspired by Austrian author Gustav Meyrink's 1927 occult classic 'The Angel Of
The West Window'.

Previously only available on CD, "The Angel Of The West Window" will now be released on Kscope on Limited Edition Gatefold Double Vinyl LP with side D featuring a format- exclusive etching. Heralded as 'the best synth band in the world' by the New York Times, Tangerine Dream's "The Angel Of The West Window" is one of the fnest examples of the band's signature sound - ethereal, often unnerving compositions that unfold gradually, building tension before releasing into moments of sublime beauty.
