They did the score for The Sorcerer.
One of my favorite movies of all time.

Remember this?
"All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."
--Sir Winston Churchill
"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."

Great stuff. I have 4 of their vinyl albums. Of the 4, Tangram is my favorite.

I have a number of their albums. Their bio on allmusic.com begins
quote:
Tangerine Dream are unquestionably one of the most influential electronic groups of all time. Their music has made an immeasurable impact on ambient, new age, techno, trance, and progressive rock, as well as modern film score composition.
They "worked on more than 30 film soundtracks during the 1980s, among them Risky Business, The Keep, Flashpoint, Firestarter, Vision Quest, and Legend."
I don't care for all of their work. Some of it was almost too minimalistic. But they didn't only make "laid back" music, or electronic noodling, their 220 Volt Live album (1993) even covered a version of Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze.
Their history is perhaps the longest-running band of the same name (given personnel changes) of the past half century.
And now, locals in Florida can check them out at the library!
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Yep, I have heard of them since I bought Phaedra back in 1974. I have 21 cds by them. Also 1 by Christopher Franke, 3 by Edgar Froese and 22 by Klaus Schulze. I like some electronica.

They're legendary in electronic music / synthesizer circles.

I stopped buying their albums after 'Tyger' from the late 80's. I still listen to several of their records: Stratosfear, Phaedra, Tangram, Exit, Force Majeure....all still very good and aging well (unlike other pioneers in electronic music like Kraftwerk)

Heresy, I say.
Kraftwerk was thoroughly entertaining and excellent, live, in recent years.
And they had a huge crowd jamming and dancing like it was all brand new.
Here's Kraftwerk's crowd at Coachella in 2008 as an example, 60k or so people:
