At a turning point between two eras, "Tangram" contains fond glimpses back at the "classic long-form sequencer" period and also contains foreshadows of the "new age melodic short track" period to come. Each set contains multiple movements, some rhythmic, some atmospheric. The live set in Berlin documented in Tangerine Dream's "Quichotte"— later retitled "Pergamon" —is very similar to their work on "Tangram".
