Tangerine Dream: Zeit 1985 Relativity (2 LP Gatefold)

Re-release of 1972 Brain original.

TD's purest expression of "space music," this double album ebbs and flows effortlessly from one tone cluster to another. Almost classical in construction, the music is structured so as to evolve in sections as one theme literally melts into the next. Florian Fricke (of Popol Vuh) played the big Moog on this album and the overall texture of the electronics is warm and shimmering. ~ Archie Patterson

Zeit (English: Time) is the third studio album by German electronic music group Tangerine Dream. A double LP, it was released in August 1972, being the first release featuring Peter Baumann, who joined then-current members Christopher Franke and Edgar Froese. Zeit is subtitled Largo in Four Movements.

In a retrospective review, Julian Cope's Head Heritage website described Zeit as a "monolithic and gloomy double album" that "wanders through droning passages of emptiness as the origins and formation of the universe are charted [...] It's the band at their most abstract and austere, their most difficult album.

Masterpiece LP. The cover is fine...a few shelf wear spots has been housed in a vinyl sleeve. Like most gatefold's it has been opened to view. The LP's are beautiful and have been handled well. Please view the pictures taken and use the ZOOM option. Some glare due lighting...I use a skylight and the sun was playing games some of the time.

Conservative grading always.
