Tangerine Dream's Tangram is without a doubt one of the band's finest works. I maybe have a soft spot for this album, since it's the third TD album I ever listened to (behind Zeit and Cyclone).

Tangram consists of two side-long pieces, or "sets", as they are called (relating to the album's theme). Both sets contain multiple movements, each having a unique and distinct melody that flows seamlessly into the next. The music presented here is very upbeat and melodic, almost bordering symphonic. It follows on nicely from the more organic- sounding Force Majeure, which is also a masterpiece.

The first set is the best on the album. It opens with a simple yet incredibly effective sequence, and it's not long before we're thrust into the action with more complex layered melodies and harmonies, all contributing to an addictive sound that is hard to stop coming back to. This piece is a strong 10/10.

The second set doesn't reach the same highs as the first, but operates on a similar musical principle, layering melodies, harmonies, and sequences together to create a mesmerising sound world. The second set isn't as good as the first but is still a great piece nonetheless. 8.5/10

Overall, this is a great album that comes highly recommended to anyone. 5/5.
