TD were Krautrock contemporaries of Kraftwerk, though they were working with synthesizers even earlier than that group. In fact the Tangerine Dream leader Edgar Froese had told his record label "in a few years everyone will be playing synthesizers". They scoffed at that and walked out... and then the 80s happened. 😉
These are some interesting synthy soundscapes that can be heard to lay the groundwork for future ambient electronica, and even the eventual development of genres like trance and techno.
