Zeit

It was the first album featuring Peter Baumann, who joined then-current members Christopher Franke and Edgar Froese. Florian Fricke from Popol Vuh plays Moog synthesizer on the track Birth of Liquid Plejades. The album cover depicts a solar eclipse, painted by Edgar Froese.

“Tangerine Dream push their musical ideas to the abstract limits over four long, beatless ambient tracks, evoking deep space and alien landscapes with sounds sometimes completely removed from everyday notions of music. Zeit today remains a fascinating experiment in space and texture.”
– Ambient Music Guide

"TD's purest expression of 'space music', this double album ebbs and flows effortlessly from one tone cluster to another. Almost classical in construction, the music is structured so as to evolve in sections as one theme literally (sic) melts into the next."
– AllMusic
