Released in 1979, "Force Majeure" marked a shift towards a more rhythmic and sequencer-driven sound for Tangerine Dream, moving away from the more atmospheric pieces of their earlier work.
- The album was recorded at the band's own sequencer-heavy private studio in Berlin.
- Featuring a blend of electronic sequences, acoustic guitar, and powerful rhythms, "Force Majeure" is often seen as a bridge between their earlier ambient works and their later, more commercially successful soundtracks.
- Upon its release, "Force Majeure" charted at number 63 in the UK Albums Chart.
Tangerine Dream was a German electronic music group founded in 1967. They are pioneers of electronic music and ambient music, and their work in the 1970s was particularly influential.
