## Appears on

### [Phaedra](https://waxonia.com/track/tangerine-dream--phaedra/)

*1974 · Virgin · No. 5 in [Krautrock](https://waxonia.com/genre/krautrock/)*

A sequencer drifting out of tune with itself for seventeen minutes, which the band kept because it was better than the accurate take. Ambient's immediate ancestor, and considerably more sinister than its descendants.

*1974 · Virgin · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — Krautrock](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-krautrock/)*

The one ambient heard. A sequencer drifting out of tune for seventeen minutes, kept because it was better than the accurate take, and far more sinister than anything it went on to influence.
