Edgar Froese and Richard Branson

Richard Branson signed Tangerine Dream for their newly launched Virgin Records label by the end of 1973. In a country estate north of Oxford, the so called “Manor Studio”, the band recorded their groundbreaking “Phaedra” album.

The band Tangerine Dream was founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese in West Berlin. They were early pioneers of electronic music, who, with albums like Phaedra and Rubycon, laid the foundation for new styles such as Ambient and Trance. Through uncovered photographs and videos, original synthesizers, cassettes and vinyl, the exhibition Tangerine Dream: Zeitraffer reveals London's key role in the international breakthrough of Tangerine Dream during the 1970s. Visitors are taken on an analogue journey through unseen footage, unpublished articles and original synthesizers with one of electronic music's pioneering groups.
