Tangerine Dream at SXSW Music Festival 2023

Who discovered TD before they were well-known internationally?

Answered by Edgar Froese

The recognition for TD’s discovery and entrance onto the international market have to go to the BBC DJ Idol John Peel. He has featured TD so often on his weekly show that Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin record label, found out about the group and signed them on for a ten year contract in autumn of 1973.
