- Classic albums like Exit and Tangram are collected, alongside the unreleased score for The Keep.
The next Tangerine Dream box set is coming out on October 30th.
Pilots Of Purple Twilight focuses on the Edgar Froese-led German group's output from 1980 through 1983. It features remastered (and newly remixed) versions of Tangram, Thief, Exit, White Eagle, Logos Live and Hyperborea, plus the first-ever release of the band's score for Michael Mann's 1983 film The Keep. Single-CD reissues for the main albums will be available separately as well.
There are also highlights from other soundtracks like The Soldier and Risky Business, including "Love On A Real Train," the group's most commercially successful song.
In addition to collecting the band's albums and soundtrack work, Pilots Of Purple Twilight also features unreleased studio and live material, including a full concert in London from 1982.
Pilots Of Purple Twilight is the second in a series of career-spanning sets, following last year's In Search Of Hades, which covered the group's 1973 through 1979 output, including their legendary 1974 album Phaedra.
