If you're a fan of the 80s sound, you're probably referring to the TD trio that included Johannes Schmoelling (the post-Peter Baumann trio). In the six years that Schmoelling was with TD, they added more keyboard solos to their sound and become more approachable. By moving away from the avant-garde stoic krautrock compositions of the past, TD was in demand by film directors, including the great Michael Mann (MM). In fact, MM's film, Thief, was the first in a litany of soundtracks that they would work on in the 80s. By the time I saw them live, in '86, they had become the kind of band that could get people out of their seats, which I certainly witnessed -- especially during the final encore when Paul Haslinger, the newest member of the TD trio, played the Schmoelling solos from the song Dominion.

new edition of Phaedra out in a few months: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DWDGP365/
Originally released by Virgin Records in February 1974, Phaedra is one of Tangerine Dream’s most successful and acclaimed albums, spending 15 weeks on the UK charts upon its release.

It looks great, but is there any reason to own this if we already have the "IN SEARCH OF HADES" set?new edition of Phaedra out in a few months: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DWDGP365/

Any word if they found all the multis from the album for this 5.1? Or is it the same 5.1 content from the "In Search of Hades" set.
from the SDE posting in 2019:
"Due to what multi-track tapes were available Steven Wilson could only create stereo remixes of two tracks from Phaedra (the title track and ‘Sequent C’). Therefore for the 5.1 mix on the blu-ray, the other two tracks – ‘Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares’ and ‘Moments of a Visionary’ – are Penteo up-mixes (i.e. not ‘true’ 5.1 but according to SW these still sound “very good”)."

According to Wouter, no.
"I don't have anything to add to the press info of this release - except for the fact that the Hades box is out of print and will not be repressed again, so UME obviously took the opportunity to reissue the Phaedra related discs of the Hades box for a 50th anniversary release - and I was requested to revise my original book text.
