Particularly successful during their years on the Virgin label, Tangerine Dream carved a path through the zeitgeist of the era that had been mapped out by albums like Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells – as unthinkable as it seems now, in the mid ’70s it was entirely possible to have a top 10 hit with an abstract, ambient choral soundscape, and no promotion campaign. Perhaps he had a point, since their music touches on a number of styles too broad to easily categorise: the chugging minimal synthesis of Kraftwerk, the space-synth explorations of Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis, with folk and prog flourishes and baroque melodies that can be likened to bands like Gentle Giant and King Crimson. A prolific group, they released a huge number of records and soundtracks throughout the ’70s and ’80s, and are synonymous with the “New Age” music genre – a notion that Edgar Froese always frowned on, and struggled to accept. Tangerine Dream were the house band in this otherworldly space, and had a number of rotating members over the years, with the core members being founder Edgar Froese, and collaborators Christopher Franke and Peter Baumann. Painted in black and white, the space served to incubate a number of formative Krautrock bands of the time, notably acts like Ash Ra Tempel and Klaus Schulze.

His cruelty and delusions made him declare himself the nation's ruler until his eventual assassination by American forces years later.On Friday 23rd January 2015, the music world mourned the death of Edgar Froese, founding member of Tangerine Dream, a German group influential in the development of krautrock and electronic music. Things spiral out of control as Walker forms a team of mercenaries and takes over Nicaragua. The story begins with Walker escaping American justice as a firm believer in Manifest Destiny, he marries a woman and plans to open a paper when his wife suddenly dies. The story is loosely based on the real-life antics of William Walker, played by Ed Harris, with Marlee Matlin and Keith Szarabajka rounding up the cast.

The movie is directed by Alex Cox and written by Rudy Wurlitzer. The film is a brutal critique of American interventionism, especially in the region of Nicaragua, which has always been subject to the whim of American politics.

Although set as a period piece taking place in 1853, Walker is full of postmodern anachronisms, such as the presence of lighters, soda, and a modern chopper in the very last scene.

Walker has to be the weirdest pick on the list, but it's such an enchanting movie that it's hard to let it pass.
