In 1977, the band released the soundtrack of "Sorcerer" (directed by William Friedkin).

An all time classic that launched the band's notoriety and career outside of Germany. The captivating "Phaedra" contributes to the trademark sound of TD, with Moog arpeggio, pulsating sequencer patterns and powerful synthesisers sounds. In 1973 start TD's classic & popular Virgin years. "Atem" (1973) whose line up (Froese / Franke / BAUMANN) will participate to TD's classic years until 1977 is an obscure and mind-blowing electronic symphony. The following year, the contemplative "Zeit" represents a milestone, an abstract & timeless musical world. Without a regular pulse but just with organ chords, a few manipulated guitar lines and synthesisers effects, "Alpha Centauri" remains an absolute epic and classic cosmic adventure. "Alpha Centauri" (1971) will be a landmark of the band's first explorations in electronic realms.
