I thought Machu Picchu was really good, but it still sounds a bit different from their earlier stuff. I'd recommend it if you're okay with a bit more polishing on your TD.

How about the live albums such as the brilliant Pergamon and the majestic Poland ? They are quite tasty !

3 Tangerine albums:
Force Majeure (1979)
Tangram (1980)
Exit (1981)
all beautifull and different imo
Exit gets overlooked because it has shorter less complex peices but nevertheless I still reckon its one of their strongest albums with a new sleeker approach perhaps down to their relatively new member Johannes Schmoelling (btw the 'definitive edition remastered CD's of Tangram and Exit wrongly credits Peter Baumann as still being in TD when he had left about 4 years earlier!) .

Lazland, judging by your tastes I would say stay the hell away from their first 3 albums. I am also not surprised that you enjoy Force Majuere. Not many live or 'later' suggestions yet but I second Ricochet and you should also check out Logos from the '80s. Tell me you don't like this:

I would go as far as the 220 Volt Live ... album ... but yeah ... those early days are best. Atem/Phaedra/Rubycon/Live in the USA/Ricochet/Force Majeure/Cyclone/Hyperborea ... and such ...are all fabulous albums ... I would even suggest getting them in order so you can get a massive idea how the synthesizers improved and all that. In the middle of it, get something like Edgar Froese's Aqua ... and see these synths in their most primeval and fun and sometimes when I hear it today, so simple that it is nuts! ... but it tells you that these folks were really studying and learning what synths could do ... and probably were at the fore front of most synthesizer makers out there!

^ I prefer Epsilon in Malaysian Pale to Aqua, but there's not that much in it to be honest.
One thing I should point out that is oft overlooked (or understated) is that TD is not an Electronic Music group - they certainly use synths and sequencers but pretty much all of their albums have acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, flute, drums, horns, harpsicord etc.

Stratosfear is my favourite TD album - in fact one of my favourite albums of all time. Very wise of you to seek recommendations though because they have produced some terrible albums(especially in the latter years) that are nothing more than bland, tedious muzak. They are the best of bands and they are the worst of bands.

My vote for Poland, too. It is a favorite of mine next to Ricochet. I just got into TD last autumn  It's been a nice journey for sure. |

As you like neo-prog, try some eighties stuff :
Tangram Le Parc White Eagle Hyperborea OST for Legend (Brian Ferry sings on one song, Jon Anderson on another one) OST for Wavelength OST for The Park is mine OST for Miracle mile Underwater sunlight

First start with their entire discography, then get thee to a poorhouse.  FYI, I didn't see it listed on this site yet but Canyon Dreams and Oasis are available on DVD. They're both images rather than band performance videos. Edited by Slartibartfast - June 21 2012 at 16:43 |

^ Phaedra, while excellent, maybe a little too somber as an introduction to TD.

It's hardly an introduction if he has an album of theirs already :P

As others have said, Zeit is probably best saved for a while...it's my favorite for sure, but it's very abstract and spacy.

My favorite is Electronic Meditations. I would also suggest Klaus Schulze's first solo album Moondawn.
