Tangerine Dream - celebrating their fortieth anniversary this year, by the way - are set to release a new album, 'Madcaps Flaming Duty', and it's dedicated to the late Syd Barrett. Set for release on 2 Apr, the new LP was recorded in October last year, and features lyrics based on the work of seventeenth and eighteenth century English and American poets adapted for the tracks by writer Bianca F Acquaye.
TD main man Edgar Froese said in a statement: "This recording is dedicated to the influential spirit of a legendary musical mind, Syd Barrett, who had to end his present incarnation in summer 2006."
