Turn of the Tides is the forty-ninth album by the band Tangerine Dream.

Background

Furthering the development of their music, Tangerine Dream continued the musical approach that they had presented on their previous Miramar releases- although in this case the end result seemed very over produced and much closer to Easy listening music. Besides electronic equipment, TD was using guitar, saxophone and backing vocals once again. But their sound also seemed to be broader, which was shown in the flamenco guitar stylized Firetongues, the use of acoustic guitar in Twilight Brigade and other tracks that seemed to form a more atmospheric sound. According to the inside booklet of the CD, like a concept album, these tracks are based on a short story written by Edgar Froese. It explains that the story is taken from a book called The Coachman's Tales. To the best of our knowledge, there is no such book with that title. Jayney Klimek, who made an appearance on Dreamtime, provided vocals for the track Galley Slave's Horizon. The opening track is a reworked Modest Mussorgsky piece, Pictures at an Exhibition.[2] The re-released version of the album had a bonus track called Story of the Brave, which had originated on the promo disc for the album.[3] The time duration shown above includes this track.

This album was re-issued on the band's TDI label in 1996 and 1999, then again on Membran in 2009.[4]
