Optical Race

Tangerine Dream

Sharp digital sequences and neon-soaked melodies. A high-energy pivot to FM synthesis and computer-driven precision that defines late-eighties electronic futurism.

August 1988 · Jam (5)

A high-tech, optimistic energy that feels like a midnight drive through a digital grid.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sharp, rhythmic digital percussion that drives the title track with mechanical precision.
The expansive, melodic synth lead in Marakesh that feels like a travelogue through a digital desert.
The shifting, complex polyrhythms in Cat Scan that mimic the clinical hum of 80s medical technology.
