Tangerine Dream are one of the true pioneers of electronic and ambient music, and the albums they recorded for
Virgin Records between 1980 and 1983 remain classics of the genre. Off the back of the success of In Search Of
Hades, this 10CD box set showcasing the next chapter in this period of Tangerine Dream’s history. The box set
features newly re-mastered versions of the albums Tangram, Thief, Exit, White Eagle, Logos, Hyperborea along with
the previously unreleased soundtracks from the films The Soldier, the 1982 movie directed by James Glickenhaus
and The Keep from the 1983 movie directed by Michael Mann, something of a holy grail for Tangerine Dream fans.
All audio has been re-mastered from the original master tapes by Ben Wiseman.
Pilots of Purple Twilight also features additional previously unreleased material across 4 discs, including the full concert
at The Dominion Theatre, London (November 1982). In addition to this the soundtrack to Thief includes an extended
promotional only version of “Dr. Destructo”, White Eagle features six bonus tracks recorded for the German television
crime drama series Tatort (originally released on a 12-inch single and a 7-inch single in Germany only), all of which
are released for the first time on CD and digitally. Finally, Hyperborea includes five bonus tracks originally issued on
the Virgin soundtrack LP for the movie Risky Business, including Tangerine Dream’s biggest streaming track, Love On
A Real Train.
Pilots Of Purple Twilight is lavishly packaged with a hard-back book with a new essay and many rare photographs
and memorabilia.
