Post Description

Canyon Dreams is a in 1987 recorded album by Tangerine Dream released in 1991 on Compact Disc. The music is written as a sound accompaniment for the different scenic video scenes about the Grand Canyon released by Miramar. The tracks are divided into various episodes and related to the titles of the cuts.
The distinctive quality of this disc is the Native American influence. The unique style of Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke, and Paul Haslinger make them experts in creating sequenced atmospheric soundscapes, and this is exactly what they do here. They use a Native American pace and add native flutes to give the disc a feel of the American Southwest. The execution is however, unmistakably recognizable as the Berlin School of electronic music. This is make the album quite unique and the reason that Tangerine Dream received its first Grammy nomination with this album. The album is the start of a new direction using a combination of the group's progressive style and its current commercial leanings.
