Esoteric Recordings' Reactive label is pleased to announce the release of a newly re-mastered 4CD clamshell boxed set which gathers together the first four legendary albums by Tangerine Dream, originally released on the Ohr label in Germany between 1970 and 1973, known by fans as "The Pink Years" albums."Electronic Meditation" was recorded in Berlin in October 1969 and featured the first Tangerine Dream line-up of Edgar Froese (guitars, organ, tapes, sound effects), Klaus Schulze (drums, percussion) and Conrad Schnitzler (cello, violin, typewriter).

One of Tangerine Dream's finest early albums, "Zeit" was enthusiastically championed in the UK by DJ John Peel and was the group's major breakthrough."Atem", released in 1973, was the band's last release on the Ohr label & heralded the beginning of Tangerine Dream's wider international acclaim.
