Taking a leap that anyone from this forum would have a clue about one of my all time favorite synth bands...Tangerine Dream!

TANGERINE DREAM EXPLORES THE ELECTRONIC SIDE OF CLASSIC AND MODERN ROCK SONGS ON UNDER COVER:
Tangerine Dream explores the electronic side of classic and modern rock songs on Under Cover, released via Cleopatra Records on October 16. The 14-track collection is a unique covers record from a band known for breaking musical barriers.
Under Cover features founding Tangerine Dream member Edgar Froese and the band reimagining songs that range from the experimental and expansive, like David Bowie's Space Oddity and the Beatles Norwegian Wood to Americana favorites like The Eagles Hotel California and Chris Isaak's Wicked Game. Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, the Goo Goo Dolls, Leonard Cohen, Depeche Mode, and more are also taken on with Tangerine Dream's ambient soundscape.
Each member of the band selected tracks that intimately resonated with them. Froese chose Everybody Hurts, Space Oddity, and Heroes on which he played synth, mellotron, and provided vocals.
Percussionist/drummer Iris Camaa selected Wicked Game, Hotel California, and Iris. Flutist and singer Linda Spa chose The Model, Suzanne, and Forever Young. Thorsten Quaeschning, main vocalist and synth/guitar player, chose Cry Little Sister, Precious, and Hallelujah. Guitarist Bernhard Beibl elected to cover Norwegian Wood and Wish You Were Here.
Tangerine Dream, with Froese, has been affecting the musical playing field since 1967. Liberal experimentation with instruments, technology, and sound puts TD in genres including EDM, underground, new age, ambient, and krautrock. They were using sequencing techniques before sequencers existed, acquired a Moog early on, and in a live setting, utilized light technology in both minimalist and surrealistic ways. The band has provided soundtracks to several movies including Sorcerer, Risky Business, Legend, and Near Dark. Tangerine Dream still creates and performs today; Froese recently collaborated on the track Kashmir featured on the debut release from dubstep buzz band Blackburner (Cleopatra Records).
Tangerine Dream will be performing on the Cruise to the Edge, a very special music excursion with Yes, UK, Saga, Carl Palmer, Nektar, Zebra & Glass Hammer. The cruise departs Fort Lauderdale for five days around Grand Cayman and Jamaica on March 25.
