Tangerine Dream's 'The Island Of The Fay' To Be Released On Vinyl For The First Time Limited Edition Gatefold Double Vinyl LP, Includes Exclusive Side 4 Etching. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's short story, The Island of the Fay marks the inaugural entry in Tangerine Dream's renowned Eastgate Sonic Poems Series. Composed by legendary Tangerine Dream founder Edgar Froese and his successor Thorsten Quaeschning - chosen by Froese to lead the band's musical vision after his passing in 2015 - the album offers a deeply evocative interpretation of Poe's haunting narrative and remains one of the finest examples of Tangerine Dream's world-renowned sound. Ethereal, transcendent, and occasionally unnerving like the story that inspired it, The Island of the Fay was recorded at the band's Eastgate Studio in Vienna and marked the debut of violinist Hoshiko Yamane as an official member of the band. Founded in 1967 by the late Edgar Froese, legendary electronic German group Tangerine Dream have released more than 100 albums in an extraordinary career spanning seven decades. Often referenced as a leading light in the Krautrock movement of the late 60's, Tangerine Dream's prolific output has earned them seven Grammy nominations since 1967 for both their own studio releases and the equally remarkable film, television, and videogame soundtracks that they have released, of which there are over 50. Previously only available on CD, The Island of the Fay will now be released on Kscope on Limited Edition Gatefold Double Vinyl LP with side D featuring a format-exclusive etching.
