Tangram (Set 2) is taken from the album Tangram (1980). It became their fifth biggest selling album, reaching #36 in the British Top 40, and spending 5 weeks on the chart.
At a turning point between two eras, Tangram contains fond glimpses back at the “classic long-form sequencer” period and also contains foreshadows of the “new age melodic short track” period to come. It introduced new member Johannes Schmoelling, re-establishing the band as a keyboard trio.
Each set contains multiple movements, some rhythmic, some atmospheric. The live set in Berlin documented in Tangerine Dream’s Quichotte— later retitled Pergamon — contains passages similar to Tangram.
