They sound very like Tangerine Dream

Well, me. ;-)

However. I've pulled all the music off my website due to piracy. I might be releasing some on CD later in the year.

Here's a preview below.

I like them all (some of them are a little hard to find mostly early 80-cassette releases. But most is easy to check out on youtube):

Zanov

Cosmic Hoffmann

Ian Boddy

Mark Shreeve

Winterstormer

Clara Mondshine

Adelbert von Deyen

Earthstar

Colin Potter

...and yes I too like the already mentioned Redshift

-usually for those with extensive discographies, earlier material is a better place to start than later (as in most genres).

Wow! That's a great set-up.

You may have heard Jean Michel-Jarre, and a favorite of mine is a British group called Radio Massacre International.

All you have to do is explore the Berlin School section of the progressive electronic department.

Artists like Klaus Schulze, Ashra, Peter Bauman, Cluster, Popol Vuh, Steve Roach, Pete Namlook, Harmonia, Brian Eno, Neu!, Manuel Göttsching, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Edgar Froese, Michael Hoenig, Redshift, Harold Grosskopf, Radio Massacre Internatinal, Wolfgang Riechmann, Node, You, Neuronium, Zanov, Cultural Noise and tons of others all fit the bill.

Sounds like Tangerine Dream is a very vague question since their early stuff sounds nothing like much of the later stuff. They have released over 100 studio albums alone, so a more specific era will yield more specific results. I just cited the 70s period after the early Kraut albums. I assume you mean like "Phaedra" or "Rubycon."

BTW, many of these artists are similar but very few are more accomplished. TD were the cream of the crop. Only Klaus Schulze, Neu! and Cluster are as interesting and in the top tier status in my world. (unless i'm forgetting someone!)

If it's the sequencer-driven sound you like (vs the droning spacey stuff), you might try:

Arc (DiN45)
Cosmic Ground
Node (DiN44)

More of the DiN releases can be found here: https://din.org.uk/music

And you should check out the following blog for many more TD-like bands:

The specific genre (e.g Berlin School, Cosmic, etc) is given right below the track listings.

Lots of Kosmische fits the bill, plus various retro electronic bands.

The first one I thought of has already been mentioned: Michael Hoenig for Departure from the Northern Wasteland which is Phaedra-like.

A wonderful album, definitely "Phaedra meets Ricochet" territory. Essential.
