Nearly fifty years later, the current incarnation of the band--Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane \u0026amp; Paul Frick--returned to that same sacred space in 2022 to perform a monumental 'From Virgin To Quantum Years' set, bridging eras in a performance that reflects the band's extraordinary \u0026amp; ceaseless evolution. \u003cp\u003eReflecting on that experience, Thorsten Quaeschning shared: \"After 2022, following the intense COVID years during which we wrote the album 'Raum', the Coventry Cathedral concert became a key moment in reconnecting different parts of Tangerine Dream's story with the present. Playing in that same cathedral created an atmosphere that was simply unique.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2CD set presents the full concert--a sweeping setlist that reaches back to Virgin Years classics like 'Stratosfear', 'Cloudburst Flight' \u0026amp; 'Love On A Real Train', while also drawing from more recent Quantum material such as 'Raum' \u0026amp; 'Continuum'. Several pieces are performed with special guest Steve Rothery (Marillion), whose guitar work threads itself into the band's electronic textures to create a fascinating new dimension. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"the best synth band in the world\" \u003cstrong\u003eTHE NEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoventry Cathedral stands as a symbol of transformation \u0026amp; resilience, with its towering spire representing both a rich history \u0026amp; a modern rebirth--qualities that parallel the evolution of Tangerine Dream. With a legacy that includes multiple Grammy nominations, a vast catalogue of groundbreaking albums \u0026amp; an iconic body of film scores, they continue to stand as pioneers in their field, with the torch passed from founder Edgar Froese to his protege \u0026amp; current bandleader, Thorsten Quaeschning, after Froese's passing in 2015. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReflecting on the band's return to the cathedral nearly five decades after the original performance, Quaeschning noted: \"The 2022 tour also marked the beginning of a new chapter--more concerts, more people discovering the band live \u0026amp; an incredibly rewarding experience with a fantastic crew. This project means so much to me that I never even consider having a Plan B. I'm just looking forward to more releases, more concerts \u0026amp; new studio albums to come.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2CD, 6-panel digipak edition includes an 8-page printed booklet with stunning photos from the performance \u0026amp; reflective liner notes written by music journalist Chris Wheatley.
