Tangerine Dream set the stage for the style of "artsy" soundtrack music
that dominated the '80s. Although Hyperborea is not a soundtrack, it
was clearly influential on some of the work the group was hired to do
for Risky Business, Flashpoint, Dreamscape, Firestarter, Legend, and
close to 20 others. There have been at least a dozen members in this
trio over the years, but the assembly of Chris Franke, Edgar Froese,
and Johannes Schmoelling proved to be one of the most prolific and
influential. Hyperborea was a turning point for the band -- a
distinctive departure from the free-form psychedelica-and-moog prog
rock improvisations, it was an album of crispness, structure, and a
little bravery too -- a showcase for artists with enough chops to
adjust to the new technology without getting lost in it. Getting its
hands on the popular new keyboards of the mid-'80s, the band found
wonderful textures, richly overlapping sequences, and on some level a
chance to reinvent themselves, and with great results. Recorded in
Berlin in 1983, it was the shape of things to come for the remainder of
the decade.
