Notes
In autumn/winter of 1969 Edgar Froese, founder of Tangerine Dream, met Klaus
Schulze and Conrad Schnitzler. This trio formed the line-up of Tangerine Dream
to record the debut album Electronic Meditation. The band was supported by two
other musicians: Jimmy Jackson (organ) and Thomas Keyserling (flute), but both
were mysteriously left out of the credits of the original album.
Klaus Schulze later remembers: "We recorded and toured Electronic
Meditation. That for me is the primary electronic album. Edgar played guitar,
Schnitzler organ and me drums through loads of effects. We were experimenting
with a lot of random stuff and were making up our own sounds. I remember Conrad
had this metal cup full of these bits of glass in which he stuck a microphone
attached to each machine. I played a lot of different percussive sounds that
were then altered by machines. It was just great to be in a band who were open
to so much experimentation."
