I love his 1980-cassette release Phantom... perhaps the most. The 25-minute "Dark Water" is just one of my favorite piece of electronic music. I wouldn't mistake it for TD though. The sounds are very similar but you can say that about most rock or jazz as well. Like Zanov this has its own voice, personality and atmosphere still.
 

Mark definitely doesn't sound like TD, especially when he shifted into hi-octane mode with Legion (though TD's mid-'80s soundtrack phase with The Park is Mine and Near Dark is kind of in the same ball park).

Sorry responding to a question directed at another, but I'm quite sure that he is referring to the Progressive Electronic category at Prog Archives. http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=33

Amazing that I've read through 5 pages of replies to the original question and I can't see that anybody has mentioned Johannes Schmoelling who, from 1980-1985 pretty much WAS Tangerine Dream. 

Whilst his style never sounded like TD from 1974-79, their sound whilst he was in the band was pretty much entirely him. His solo albums from 1986's Wuivend Riet through to 2017's Diary of a Common Thread are fantastic and cover a range of styles with a number of little nostalgic snippets and references to his TD work cropping up on numerous albums. 

Also, if you can find a copy of Chris Franke's "Klemania" CD from 1993 that is definitely worth a listen.

Aside from these guys check out this TD tribute act - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58HzmkhaTfI

I have everything by Johannes, save Zoo of Tranquillity (just can't get into that one) and the newest one he did with Robert Waters (after Jerome left the trio they all had together as Loom).

Johannes' talent and compositional prowess is immense. That said, I didn't mention him because he's a TD alumnus, and the OP wanted stuff that, from my estimation, was closer to pre-1980 TD.

The enlistment of Johannes indeed yielded my favorite era of TD, but we can never discount Edgar's vision and contributions, which are made even more evident by a string of excellent solo albums. Chris' role shifted to a more technical one, but his penchant for sequences can't be diminished, either. What those three made together was pure magic, and there's still much unreleased music in the "vault."

That album is very much "of the time" and not what the OP's looking for. It's too "hyper."

Btw, do you like Arc? I posted a track from Fracture.

I haven't read through the umpteen pages of replies, but have you heard the recent 'Sessions' Cds by the current Tangerine Dream. They are live improvisations, and sound more like mid 70's TD than anything TD has done since the mid 70's..

^ ok will check that out. Ricochet is one of the greatest TD albums so if they can get anywhere near that then I'm on board certainly!

It does, but other groups have been doing just that for many years, already. A Tangerine Dream without Edgar Froese isn't really Tangerine Dream, IMO.

Some feedback. Thanks for all the great suggestions guys. I'm listening to your suggestions every day and discovering other great stuff on Spotify everyday just by clicking on the "fans also like" link, I just needed a few names to get me going. Sadly though quiote a few of the bands aren't avalable on Spotify. Right this minute I'm listening to "Rapture"  by Arc, linked above. Very TD, very Schulze. I like it a lot.  
 

Check out the whole album. It's easily their best one!


Try using Bandcamp. Lots of good Berlin School there and they even have a tag for it.

Yeah if you only use Spotify you'd miss out on A LOT! - Including the first three Zanov-albums (his two recent comeback albums are also lovely though) which is as good as it gets

On the drone side, but really boring, you can try the Dutch Phrozenlight. There are some dozens of albums downloadable for free on his website

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

 

Hoenig toured with Tangerine Dream in 1975 when Peter Baumann took a temporary leave of the group

An album I've completed recently

It is heavily inspired by groups like tangerine dream
and other electronic artists from the 70's and 80's.

Great stuff, even if it doesn't sound much like TD. Thanks for sharing Smile
