The Tangerine Tree is a collection of concert recordings from the best possible sources available. Tapes which have previously not seen the light of day for as many as 30 years are being discovered and contributed to this effort. In most cases, the Tangerine Tree version of a concert is coming from a digitally remastered source that is 2 or more generations above the widely distributed bootlegs of the same concert.
In short, whether you have never heard an untouched concert recording of Tangerine Dream (if you own only official TD releases, you haven't), or already have a collection of fantapes or bootlegs, you should give the Tree a listen. The sound quality of many of the Tree discs is fabulous.
