Tangerine Dream - Pilots of Purple Twilight: The Virgin Recordings 1980 -1983

Tangerine Dream – Pilots of Purple Twilight: The Virgin Recordings Box Set 1980 -1983

Ok, I am excited about this one. Regular visitors to Now Spinning will know I loved the ‘In Search of Hades’ Box Set – You can watch out Video Review here

This is another deluxe box set which thankfully follows a similar design and includes a wealth of unreleased material. The box set includes 10 CDs covering the 1980 – 1983 period with Virgin Records.

All of the albums have been re-mastered and the box includes Tangram, Thief, Exit, White Eagle, Logos and Hyperborea,. Also included are previously unreleased soundtracks from the films The Soldier and The Keep, both of which are highly regarded by Tangerine Dream fans.

The price point is around £99.00 which I feel is excellent – pre order from Amazon from here.  

The boxset will be available from October 16th 2020

All audio has been re-mastered from the original master tapes by Ben Wiseman.

There are 4 CDs, of unreleased material including:

  • The full concert at The Dominion Theatre, London (November 1982);
  • The soundtrack to Thief includes an extended promotional-only version of Dr. Destructo;
  • White Eagle features six bonus tracks recorded for the German television crime drama series Tatort (originally released on a 12-inch single and a 7-inch single in Germany only), all of which are released for the first time on CD and digitally; and
  • Hyperborea includes five bonus tracks, originally issued on the Virgin soundtrack LP for the movie Risky Business, including Tangerine Dream’s biggest streaming track, Love On A Real Train.

Like In Search of Hades, Pilots Of Purple Twilight will be a luxury package, with a hard-back book, a new essay with rare photographs and memorabilia.

1 CD versions of Tangram, Thief, Exit, White Eagle, Hyperborea & Logos will also be released, with audio from the 2020 remasters and the bonus tracks from the boxed set.
