Sorry about the lack of a link; I was posting from a work computer, and the “blocker” won’t let me link to “streaming media.”

I wound up getting the CD off of ebay or Amazon and copying it into my iTunes.

If you can’t find the CD anywhere for a decent price, let me know; I’ll happily mail it to you.

Tangerine Dream. My favorite instrumental electronic music group. One of the main pioneers in development of the modern electronic music field.

Oh yeah. I have to dig some full albums out. This one’s on my everyday random playlist.

Lana’s theme:

My only problem is that much of it is quite energetic, such as the example above.

I gotta get around to some of that Eno too.
