Installation view of Tangerine Dream: Zeitraffer in the Barbican Music Library, London displaying Risky Business VHS tape.

The most successful was the soundtrack to Risky Business, directed by Paul Brickman, with the song “Love On A Real Train”. The song was used in several Netflix series like Mr. Robot or Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and was recently voted one of the best 200 songs of the 1980s by Pitchfork magazine.

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 Visitors are taken on an analogue journey through unseen footage, unpublished articles and original synthesizers with one of electronic music's pioneering groups.
